Waterproof solutions for underwater snappers
29 Aug 2008
A swimming mask equipped with a digital camera has been created and is thought to be the first of its kind, Forbes reported this week.
Hammacher Schlemmer has incorporated a waterproof digital camera into the mask, so snorkeling or scuba diving fans can now take photographs hands-free while plumbing the depths.
According to Forbes, the camera weighs in at five megapixels with a shutter button located above one of the eyes.
It can function up to depths of 15 feet and store 30 high-resolution images together with 52 seconds of video clips on the built-in memory.
In addition, it is PC and Mac-compatible and comes with an extra slot for more memory.
Reviewer Lauren Sherman described Hammacher Schlemmer, which was established in 1848, as a “maker of nifty gadgets”
It also offers consumer lifestyle gadgets such as the Ropeless Jump Rope and the Original Sleep Sound Generator.
