Panasonic Offers “World’s First” Wearable Camera

As wearable technologies are gaining momentum in the tech world, video technology company Panasonic has introduced its HX-A500 (A500), claimed to be the world’s first 4K/30p Wearable Camera.

The main unit is separate from the lens unit, meaning you can mount the lens at face level and perform hands-free shooting. Small and lightweight, the lens unit is comfortable to wear, making it easy to capture point of view sports or your daily adventure, suggests the company.
