One of the most popular products on the market these days for racing and automotive types, interestingly, has nothing at all to do with cars or engines. But it’s a crossover of technology that blends itself perfectly with the car hobby and something we all simply can’t get enough of.
We’re of course talking about the wave of modern high-definition video cameras that are packed into pint-sized packages, allowing racers and car folks to stick a camera virtually anywhere on the car and later share the footage with the world. And you can get that cinema-quality tech at an amazingly low cost.
Here at IMIS, the Replay XD team is showcasing their broad range of HD cameras that look like small flashlights, along with the host of accessories that are available to take your videos to another dimension.
One of these new accessories that will certainly appeal to the more serious video crowd is the ReView Field Monitor, a 4.3-inch HDMI monitor that connects to the Replay XD cameras and returns an instant connection to help you frame your shot live and also replay the footage after recording without having to upload it to a computer at the track. This product is lightweight, had audio-out, volume control, brightness control, and HDMI connectivity built-in, along with a price tag far more attainable than typical video monitors on the market.
Another new item that would be a great asset for anyone using a Replay XD camera for any period of time is their RePower 4400 battery pack, giving you up to six hours of extra power for your camera. You can use it to either charge the camera or act as an extended power source. While such an addition might be more suited to the road racing crowd than drag racers, you can rest easy knowing you’ll have plenty of power for the weekend regardless of what type of racing you do.
Replay XD also has their brand new XD720 Video System here, the newest of their HD cameras, featuring 720P high-def video, 60 frames per second, and other great features at a price of just $199.
