Panasonic has launched the first-ever wearable 4K camera, a two-piece device called the HX-A500.
The camera, which records video that is more lifelike than 1080 pixels, has two body parts that are connected by a cable, Yahoo Tech reported.
The HX-A500 comprises both a camera that attaches to your ear and an arm strap with controls and a 1.5-inch screen. Waterproof to 10 feet under, the camera captures video that is more vivid than most high-definition devices.
"4K is the next step in video capture and when combined with the ability to use a point of view camcorder we begin to push the boundaries of videography," Matt Evans, camcorder product manager of Panasonic UK, said in a press release.
The caveat is that the 4K gadget records video at a rate of 25 frames per second, a speed that might not properly capture sports or action moments, according to Yahoo Tech.
But the camera should be more than sufficient to capture family vacation moments, beautiful scenery while hiking and more.
"Whether you're playing on the floor with your children or climbing a cliff face, you can be confident that your hands-free filming will give you great results every time," Panasonic said in the press release. "The HX-A500 has been designed with ease-of-use and simplicity in mind, so you can concentrate on enjoying the moment, rather than how you're capturing it."
The 1.5-inch color LCD screen lets you preview what the camera is capturing while you film. Video can easily be edited through an app that lets you record and edit remotely to be able to share your adventures on social media.
The cutting-edge A500 is definitely on the pricey side, retailing for £379.99 (or about $627) this May.
