In recent days we have seen Elephone tease and release new products from an cigarette, to a 4K action camera, today we see a teaser for a hand-held gyro.
Elephone seem to be embracing emerging tech and see the action camera space as one of the markets that is going to expand in the coming months/years. Action camera’s have boomed in popularity and it’s no wonder too! They offer a robust camera in an easy to handle package, get great video, and prices are dropping by the day.
Gizchina News of the week
Elephone recently announced a 4K action camera with a similar GoPro inspired design named the Elephone Explorer, and today they have teased an accessory that would work well with it. A hand held camera gyro.
We have seen other manufacturers release camera gyros and we even reviewed one a couple of months back. What these pieces of kit do is to hold your camera (or phone) steady while you walk, run, jog and move around. Your movements are then stabilised and softened to give a steady high quality video.
Past hand-held gyros cost in excess of $200, but with Elephone now on the scene expect pricing to drop.
It does. Maybe they are considering duping?
These phone/sports-camera accessory devices need to come right down in price. $40-80 would be a sweet spot if they retain professional smoothness and strength for field use.
There is an old saying: “if cheap then cheap”. In other words you usually get what you pay for. And knowing Elephone if it’s significantly cheaper than competing models, it’s of less quality. Sometimes it pays to spend more on a quality product.
