Geared especially for underwater photo and video shooting, the CONNEX Action Camera from Intova features an integrated housing that is waterproof to 200' and can be tethered to an underwater control cable (available separately) for operation, powering, and monitoring at the surface. Among the video settings are Full HD 1080p at 30 fps, 720p at up to 60 fps, plus it can take still photos at up to 12-megapixels when using interpolation (up to 5-megapixel without interpolation). A 1.5" built-in LCD screen allows you to compose shoots, review footage and delete outtakes once it has been recorded, and navigate the menu.
Video and photo both get recorded to a separately available microSDHC card, and the camera is compatible with sizes up to 32GB. The backdoor of the housing opens for access to the card as well as the micro-USB port used for charging the battery and file transfer. Camera settings, record start/stop, and the shutter release can all be controlled while the housing is sealed. For situations where the camera isn't directly accessible, a waterproof RF remote with built-in strap is included.
