The device, which also draws attention with its live broadcast features, can broadcast on platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and X via 4G/5G mobile connections or Ethernet thanks to RTMP and SRT protocols. Remote control can be performed via Bluetooth connection via Android tablet or iPad.
The device has a 4-inch HDR touchscreen with 1500 nits brightness. Programmable function buttons and interchangeable mounting plates on the camera allow users to customize the equipment according to their own preferences.
