The new 1900mAh Enduro battery also allows you to continue filming and photographing for longer, even in colder conditions, making this model also perfect for winter adventures.
With an improved mounting system and a rugged, waterproof housing up to 10 meters, this camera is built to withstand extreme conditions. In addition, the new HB series lenses offer creative possibilities, such as capturing dramatic landscapes or cinematic, anamorphic images.
