Adorama’s Point of View on the Looxcie 3 HD Video Cam
Adorama Learning Center’s Mason Resnick, a technology and photo industry expert, took the Looxcie 3 hands-free HD video cam for a spin. He finds the tiny on-the-go camera an excellent choice when shooting action-packed adventures from one’s own point of view. Resnick comments, “Anyone who watches the many point-of-view videos that have proliferated on YouTube and Vimeo knows that hands-free action video cameras are becoming insanely popular. Size and weight – especially when you’re doing something like skiing down a mountain or riding a mountain bike on rough terrain – is especially important.”
He continues, “The Looxcie 3, a tiny, light addition to its growing line of hands-free compact HD video cameras, is exceptionally small and light. The Looxcie 3 is powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that is good for up to 90 minutes of recording time, and it records onto microSD cards, which can hold up to 64GB per card. Looxcie has developed a line of devices to attach the 3 to your head, your bike handles, and your windshield, so you can get exciting action point-of-view videos.”

Designed to be used hands-free, the Looxcie 3 video cam is extremely easy to wear or can be mounted just about anywhere using a variety of accessories. From sailing and white water rafting to mountain climbing or simply enjoying the scenery, thrill-seeking techies can keep the Looxcie 3 safe and sound from the elements with a rugged waterproof case, mount it to bike handlebars or a helmet, or stabilize it with a multi-flex arm mount.
Because it connects wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet, the Looxcie 3 can be used anywhere, any time. Using the Looxcie Mobile app for Android or iOS, users can broadcaster footage to a selective or open audience over mobile networks or Facebook, control the camera remotely, or use the device as a viewfinder. Friends and family will feel like they are right in the action watching a live stream on Facebook or via mobile-to-mobile. For those unable to watch the live broadcast, streams are automatically saved. Adventures can be shared and re-lived any time in the future on the Looxcie mobile site.
