Micro HD – the First Completely Sealed Action Camera

Published

on

1080p full HD videos, 13 megapixel photos, a handy compact design, robust construction, 100% sealed and intuitive operation: the Micro HD from SeaLife is your best companion for all outdoor adventures!

You’ve heard it too often – “My camera is flooded”. With the new Micro HD from SeaLife, you don’t have to hear this anymore! With absolutely no openings in the housing, this completely sealed action camera guarantees no flooding. With no o-rings which need to be regularly replaced, a rubber coating, shock resistant and compact enough to hold on one hand, this is by far the most uncomplicated water and outdoor video and photo camera that there is.

Videos and Photos in just one Click

The Micro HD offers fast one-touch video recording. Bypassing the usual steps, the video key will start and stop videos immediately. While video is recording, pushing the shutter button will take a still picture without stopping the video. The Micro HD features full 1080p HD resolution video, capable of delivering stunning underwater footage of colourful sea creatures, reefs and other undersea landscapes.

The SeaLife Micro HD includes 16GB internal memory for hours of continuous recording and thousands of pictures. The Micro HD+ features 32GB internal memory. The internal high capacity li-ion battery provides over three hours of continuous operation with one charge.

The built-in wide angle lens of 140 degrees helps stabilise videos and capture large objects and wide scenes at close shooting distances. Capturing surprise encounters with sea creatures is made possible with a fast shutter response and sharp focus from one foot to infinity. The 10 X close up lens can be mounted underwater without any complications enabling you to get even closer to the object.

Download and Share – In a Flash

The Micro HD+ can wirelessly download and share images and video to iOS and Android devices through the free app “Action Cam HD.” The app offers uploading to YouTube, DropBox and other online services, perfect for backing up and sharing your photos and videos immediately after a dive or during your trip. The app also allows for wireless control of the Micro HD camera, providing a real time view of the LCD and the ability to capture and review photos and videos all on your smartphone or tablet.

Niklas Stoß, Product Manager: “My favourite feature: wireless download direct to smartphones or tablets. Finally, holidays without having to take a laptop. I can see my photos and videos immediately without even having to use a cable! Easier and quicker does not exist!”

Straightfoward Navigation and Simple to Use

Ease of use is one of the outstanding features of the Micro HD. Despite its small size, the rubber armored camera is easy to handle and control down to 200 feet underwater using only three wide “Piano Keys” even while wearing gloves. The Easy Setup Guide is a fast and intuitive new way to select land, dive, snorkel, or external light modes, allowing users to spend more time immersed in their environment rather than scrolling through a menu list.

The Micro HD features Land & Sea Mode colour correction, including four underwater modes with automatic colour adjustment. The Snorkel Mode is perfect for capturing vibrant natural colours at shallow depths, while the Dive Mode restores the red and yellow colours lost at deeper depths. Charging the battery or downloading pictures/video is as easy as plugging the USB cable into the camera’s waterproof USB port.

Easily Extendable

Since bright lighting is essential to revealing magnificent underwater colours, the Micro HD is expandable with the powerful new Sea Dragon underwater lights. “3-in-1” Sea Dragon LED lighting can be used as your photo, video and dive light. Weighing only 200g and extendable from 36cm to 96cm, the Aquapod Mini is ideal for taking close up shots without any risks and great for taking fun underwater selfies. The Red Filter can be used to take photos without startling the delicate marine life.
