Gizchina News of the week


Other high quality action cameras are already using this format, such as the GoPro Hero 5, to great effect so there are high hopes for the latest generation of MGCool action camera.

A render which has accompanied the news of the new 4K video support shows the MGCool Explorer 2 in a bright orange finish, with curved edge and a black border. While we don’t know for sure, the black area of the body does look like it could be made of rubber which might mean the new camera won’t necessarily need a waterproof casing.

The render also shows us the placement of the physical controls and also confirms the Explorer 2 will have a touch screen on the rear. More information here or here.

    What attracted me more is the design itself. If we compare it with the previous model explorer or explorer pro, this time the design has been improved a lot. And specially the curved edges of this one looks something different and impressive.

    By this design, doesn’t it looking something different from oters? Is it waterproof without case or cover or external case is required?

    We’ve already seen the photo’s quality, but I’m not really conviced about the Black area made of rubber. It could be useful for going underwater, but it doesn’t look like resistant

    It is great they have decided to include 4k video filming… Higher resolution means better videos! 🙂
