Hey everyone!
I'm back with another review for you and
this time we’re looking at the AimCam Camo shooting glasses which were featured
in the ‘Femme Fatale’s Favourites August 2017!’
The AimCam shooting glasses are a pair of rated
shooting glasses suitable for shooting activities ranging from the range, clay
pigeon shooting and even airsoft, that have a 3M pixel CMOS camera mounted to
the frame that is capable of recording at 30 FPS in 1080p or 60 FPS in 720p for
capturing all those game days and awesome moments.
The glasses take up to 32GB memory card,
have rechargeable batteries - which can record around an hour and a half worth
of footage but they can also record whilst charging from portable USB power
pack and they have an internal microphone for capturing sound. Included in the
box you get: the AimCam frame, an AimCam hardcase and protective AimCam bag to
keep your glasses safe, spare clips/screws, a USB Data/charging cable, micro
tool, interchangeable safety/UV protection lenses in clear, black, yellow and
an adjustable headstrap.
The lenses included in the pack meet
European standards EN166:2001 (standard for Personal Eye Protection) and
EN172:1994/A1:2000 (standard for Personal Eye Protection – sunglare filters for
industrial use). They are also CE rated. AimCam have also developed a set of
tactical lenses that are ideal for airsoft that meet EN166F (impact resistant
standard).
AimCam have developed their own app to go
with the glasses so the user can get the most out of their glasses – the app
lets you view the position of the camera so you can adjust it and lock it into
place (no more guessing the right angle for your camera equipment!) and as the
glasses have WiFi enabled live streaming users can use the app to livestream to
their social media platforms such as Facebook. The app can also be used to
capture 12M Pixel photos from the recorded footage. The app is super useful,
especially for those social media butterflies amongst us.
The glasses are easy to use – charge them
up, pop the memory card in, press the on/record button and you are ready to go.
There is a separate WiFi button that turns on the glasses WiFi and enables you
to connect with the app. The app is also super easy to use.
The AimCam shooting glasses retail
for £199.00 and are available in 2 colourways: black or camo. As they have a
hefty price tag they are a huge investment, but if you’re an airsofter who
uploads to YouTube or likes to record gameplay footage these are a pretty
awesome gadget to have as they really do give you a perfect first person view.
Are there any improvements I would
make? There’s only a couple of things that I think could be improved on the
AimCams because no matter how you look at it, they are cool AF. I would love to
be able to record 60 FPS at 1080p for recording for YouTube, and I gave
feedback to AimCam earlier this year that when I’m wearing ear protection,
because of the thickness of the temples (due to the electronics in them) the
gap between the face and the lenses increases a tad, they have taken on board
this feedback and are now developing a set of AimCams with thinner temples.
Overall, I think they’re an awesome
gadget to have and super useful for those of us who like to record their
gamedays but they are a purchase you should be sure of because of the hefty
price tag.
