Sony FDR-X1000V

The top model in the line of Sony action cameras can shoot videos in 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels), which not only allows you to watch video on QuadHD TVs, but also opens up wide features in post-processing of video sequences.

Bitrate 100 Mb/s

The camera is also distinguished from its counterparts by a high data exchange rate with a memory card — the maximum video recording bitrate when using fast UHS-1 Class 3 microSD flash drives reaches 100 Mbps. Paired with slower drives, the speed is limited to 60 Mbps. Video is written in the XAVC S codec, the consumer version of the professional XAVC codec.

Vibration compensation

The heart of the camcorder is an 8.8-megapixel Exmor R sensor, information from which is read pixel by pixel. Those. there is no need to worry about the manifestation of the rolling shutter effect (in simple words, image delay). Also , you don’t have to worry about the smoothness of the videos – the “smart” image stabilizer is able to compensate for vibrations and shaking when running, flying a quadcopter or riding a bicycle off-road. You don’t need to rely on the stabilization system only when shooting in 4K — in this format it simply does not work.

Optics

Zeiss Tessar lens with a wide angle of coverage of the surrounding space (170°) and a maximum aperture of f/2.8 handles well with shooting even in low light conditions. The output image is clean and quiet. Among other things, there is the possibility of underwater filming — an underwater box is supplied with the action camera. With it, you can dive to a depth of 10 m, and the main camera controls are duplicated on the box body. The package also includes a wrist remote control and adhesive mounts, with which the camera is attached to any more or less flat surface (for example, a skateboard) or a car hood).

Extreme

Sony FDR-X1000V will surely appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and extreme sportsmen. After all, it has all the features for high-quality video recording, and also provides video recording for more than 2 hours, which is enough for most scenarios for using an action camera.
