Casio G'zEYE: Built tough G-SHOCK'esque action camera


Better known for their G-Shock watches, the Casio EYE GZE-1 looks like a G-Shock on steroids but is actually an action camera. This tough little cookie is resistant to shock and vibration [Shock drop 4 m], water resistant up to a depth of 50 m], [low temperature resistance - 10 ℃] and dustproof [rated IP 6X].

The body is covered with a urethane bumper that absorbs the impact at the time of falling. By providing protrusions so that buttons and lenses do not touch planes, they provide excellent impact resistance against falling from all directions.
