Infamous gadget maker Thanko did it again. This time the Tokyo-based USB specialist developed a mini camera [JP] that’s not only shaped like a small pipe but is also water-proof up to a depth of 20m. Say what you want, but Thanko knows what the masses need.
The device is 68mm long (19mm in diameter), weighs 22g, has 2GB of internal memory and – of course – features a USB 1.1 interface (this is a Thanko product, after all). It can record video in 320×240 resolution and at 25fps.
Charge the battery for 2 hours and the camera can be used for 2-3 hours. Thanko also throws in a head band in case you want to mount the camera on your head and look totally retarded.
The camera is available in Japan for $130. Wait for Thanko’s international online store to list it soon for overseas customers.
Wonders how deep it is rated for, and what the video looks like
what do you mean look totally retarded????
shame on you. People with special needs don’t walk around with weird cameras on their heads. What makes you say something that mean spirited?
anyone figure out how to get one of these shipped to the US ?
