The Kodak Zx1 pocket camera

Was given a great gift today, and it´s always great to be given a present, especially when this gift is a way cool new gadget... It is the Kodak Zx1 pocket camera.



The point of this camera is to easily shoot HD footage, to be used on YouTube or whatever. This particular pocket camera is ruggedized, and all buttons are rubberized. So sand and spots of water will be no issue, because of this rubberization as well as the fact that all ports (USB, SD etc.) are sealed off with thick rubber seals.

The camera comes with a cover, so that small incidents such as a massive MTB wipe out, will not matter as much (for the camera anyway). It also ships with a special mount strap, such that it can be easily mounted onto say a helmet or perhaps the handle bars of an MTB.

This newby to pocket cameraism will set out tomorrow on an MTB trail. I will be on a mission to bring you some glorious footage from the mountains of Madrid.

Hasta la próxima
