Экшн камера эпл
The camera, like the GoPro, includes multiple mounting points, which can be used with tripods and other accessories, to enable it to be used both handheld by a user like a normal camera, and also to be mounted in any number of configurations on different devices, like cars, handlebars, jibs, and more. If you shoot fujifilm x-trans cameras and want to process RAW files from them, you pretty much have to buy a Mac. As soon as the news that Apple had acquired the patent for the remote-control camera system were published, GoPro Inc shares plummeted 12%, its sharpest decline since August. I used to think this, but, having just bought a macbook pro I have to argue that the os (OS X) is what makes it. There have been other attempts at challenging GoPro, including the ISaw A3 Extreme action camera, which we reviewed on our sister site Gearburn, but the GoPro has managed to shake off that competition. The camera, the patent describes, will work with a system with multiple camera sensors to cover multiple angles, and to provide coverage in multiple directions.

Polaroid, Sony, Garmin and HTC all have a fairly large portion of the market, which could potentially be uprooted if Apple decides to branch out.
Among the details included were mentions of weaknesses in GoPro’s line of action cameras.
I would say, at this point, they’d be far more interested in adding interoperability between the Apple Watch and third party action cameras (like the GoPro app on the Pebble).
The patent is a threat to GoPro which has, since its 2004 launch, dominated the action camera market. The patent claims that current cameras in the market are influenced by wind that affects final image output.
Apple has been awarded a patent by the USPTO based on IP it acquired from the now defunct Eastman Kodak in a deal from 2013. However, I recently had to use one of those new surface tablets, and I gotta say, I felt like I was going back in time. Not major news, in and of itself, this seemed to cause quite a bit of stir amongst investors of other manufacturers of action cams, specifically GoPro. Apple was granted a patent for a wearable camera today, and the news caused GoPro’s stock to tumble by around 12%.

However, in Apple, GoPro is facing a mega million company that could easily invest and make a brilliant camera.
The differentiation includes the fact that it can be remotely controlled by a wrist-mounted control device, which can also provide it with updated information in real-time. The only competent raw processsing software for Fuji x-trans is OSX only, which is a damn shame.
The Apple patent specifically seeks to address shortcomings identified in the design of competitors, especially its GoPro HD hero3 cameras.
Apple has been granted a patent for an action camera with a remote control, causing GoPro shares to plummet by more than a tenth in a single day as investors took fright at the prospect of competition in the market.
You could use capture one from phase one on the windows, but it still isn’t quite as good as iridient, and light room at ant even worth talking about for processing x-trans raw files. The patent details a remote digital camera system that can be controlled from a smartwatch. Interestingly enough, the patent contains intellectual property acquired from Eastman Kodak back in December of 2012. It is not clear when the Apple camera will hit the market (if it ever does) but on paper, the Apple camera appears to be a strong competition for GoPro, and for a camera that has not really had competition, it is not far-fetched to conclude that GoPro will have to solidify its position in the very market it created. The patent bears Kodak’s branding on technical drawings representing the system it describes. In addition to recording video, Apple’s patented camera can also capture still photographs and record audio. The patent in question was filed back in 2012 and is said to cite specific weaknesses in other companies’ action cams.
Apple is known for keeping its product line-up as minimal as possible and the gains from creating such a product category would be minimal in comparison to what Apple historically looks for. Though the Apple patent attempts to differentiate itself from other cameras like it by offering users a range of choices as to how to shoot with the device the camera patent remains similar to your average GoPro.
According to Patently Apple, some of the tech inside the camera is based on intellectual properly Apple acquired from Kodak back in 2013.
