hey there I'm Josh Goldman with Sina and
this is the ion air pro 3 an action cam
that gives you several reasons not to go
the GoPro route at just 5 ounces the
camera is super light and the bullet
shaped body is waterproof down to 49
feet without housing to start recording
you just slide the big switch forward
and it gives you a little vibration to
let you know it's on the pro three can
do full HD at 30 or 60 frames per second
and 720p at 120 60 or 30 frames per
second at bit rates up to about 22
megabits per second and it can do single
and burst photo shooting and time-lapse
as well a desktop application is used
for adjusting all settings but a switch
on back lets you quickly change on the
go between your full HD and 720p
settings also this back cap that you
remove to get to this back panel is
actually a Wi-Fi module I on calls a pod
with the Wi-Fi pod you can connect to
your iOS or Android device to do things
like view and download shots to your
device and start recording remotely but
other pods are available for adding a
long-distance remote for controlling up
to 8 cameras or for access to the
external mic jack as for mounting the
camera you can use ions cam lock mounts
for quick connecting between different
mounts or you can just use anything with
a standard quarter-inch tripod mount so
how's the video write well overall it's
very good and slightly improved from the
pro two scenes still look a little soft
when viewed at large screen sizes but
for viewing on smartphones and tablets
or on a monitor small sizes the results
are excellent
I'm Josh Goldman and that's a quick look
at the ion air pro 3
