FrontRow - The Wearable Camera of the Future? #Helpful Post

 You guys, Jonathan here and this is FrontRow.

The goal is to be the wearable camera of the future,

and really it's unlike anything you've seen before.

A huge shout-out to FrontRow for sponsoring an early Look,

I am stoked to be one of the first people on the planet

to check this out, and also for sending me a second one

to give away to you guys.

So if you're interested, details on that are down below.

Thumbs up are not required, but they are always

of course, appreciated.

So what is it about that stands out to me

is one, is a super sleek compact piece of tech.

It's lightweight and two, it is a wearable camera

that doesn't make you feel silly wearing it

if that makes sense.

Now because of the design, the idea behind

FrontRow is to capture those every day moments

while remaining completely hands-free.

I like the fact that there's some modularity here,

you may have not noticed it at first

but if you look closely, this connector here

gives you that flexibility.

You can use it with a lanyard, a magnetic clip

that works fantastic as a stand,

or even with different third party accessories

like you see here.

Now as far as what makes this unique,

I think for me again what stands out most

is the fact that this really is the first

wearable camera that you don't need a head strap

or a chest mount or some crazy accessory

that makes you look or feel like a crazy person in public.

It has this beautiful circular

high resolution touchscreen that looks like

it is straight out of the future.

I also really like the fact that while it does work great

with iOS and Android, you are not reliant on your smartphone

to get that content off your device.

You can share it directly from FrontRow.

Beyond that no features in the world would matter

if it was a bad user experience,

but you can see as I swipe and navigate through things

everything is crazy responsive and super snappy.

I'll also be honest straight up capturing

either a photo or a video, there is Story Mode

which I will cover in more detail shortly

but the idea here is that it's gonna give you

this really unique cool first person time lapse perspective

of your day which is awesome.

As far as the specs go, your main shooter

has an 8 megapixel sensor paired

with a 5 megapixel front-facing camera

but more importantly, that 8 megapixel sensor

is a crazy wide 140 degrees wide lens

that's gonna light and capture

all kinds of things in the frame.

Internally, you have 32 gigabytes of storage

but you also have the ability

to expand that via cloud storage.

Video-wise this shoots in 1080p

or in 4K at a 4 by 3 aspect ratio.

Now the idea there is, it's gonna give that extra punch,

that extra sharpness so you can punch in and post.

Two things that really stand out

to me as far as capture goes

one, the OASness is crazy good.

It is almost scary how well it works.

If you're out there on the go,

or if you're out there on the road,

you don't have to worry about that shaky video.

It just works really well.

Also, the microphone capture works really well.

So if you are at a concert

or if you're just in a general noisy environment

you're not gonna have to sacrifice audio quality.

So right now I'm testing the microphone quality

while capturing front-facing video.

Excuse the squinting, it's a little bright right now,

but I would love to hear what you think

with a comment down below.

Beyond that you know I love me some USB scene.

FrontRow does not disappoint there.

In addition to having that USB-C port

you're also getting a crazy fast

20 minute quick charge time.

You do of course get really solid battery life with FrontRow

but it's nice to know just in case you do run out of juice,

you're gonna be able to charge up super quick.

Now software-wise, with FrontRow

there are three core features.

Starting with the ability to livestream

directly from the device.

It works with Twitter, Facebook

and more importantly for me YouTube.

From there we have of course Story Mode,

which again is this crazy first person time lapse

and the way it works, it actually will use

its built-in motion sensor to know

when to capture those moments.

With this you can record up to 16 hours

and the beauty of it, is you're not gonna have to do

much work at the end of the day.

The idea is you kind of set it,

forget about it and then look back

on moments you may have not normally captured.

Conversely for someone who likes to tweet things

you're not just stuck with that story,

you do have the ability to enter a story editor

and with that you can save a frame,

pull out a frame or even just

the playback speed on the story.

From there again the FrontRow works incredibly by itself

but you do also have really solid support

from the FrontRow app on your smartphone.

Really you guys can see here on video

how responsive everything is to the preview mode.

It is lightning fast and what's cool is

it's gonna work both through WiFi and Bluetooth.

What's really cool is automatically right off the bat,

you're getting a low resolution preview version

of that picture or that video

you just took on your smartphone

but what happens when you connect a FrontRow

and your phone on same WiFi network

it's automatically gonna sync at high resolution

full quality version of video or picture.

From there you also have the ability to control everything

remotely from your phone.

This is especially important if you just want to use

the FrontRow device as your main livestreaming device.

You're not gonna have to mess with it

or touch things on the FrontRow.

You can do everything from your smartphone.

So far I think this is an awesome wearable camera.

More importantly, it's intuitive, it's snappy

and incredibly easy to use.

It looks great, it captures fantastic content

and I think more importantly, it's gonna be great

for those who aren't super techy

who don't want this crazy obtrusive rig or camera,

who just want to capture life moments.

Aside from that, thank you guys very much for watching.

Hopefully you enjoyed the video.
