Polaroid Cube+ Mini Action Camera

Last year Polaroid released their very own action camera for a low price of $99 and it became quite a hit with users. This year they have announced an upgraded version of the same, called the Polaroid Cube+ Mini Action Camera. It features Wi-Fi along with image stabilization qualities, among others and it still looks like the cutest and most fun action camera!

Design and features

Just like the Polaroid Cube, the Cube+ also features a small, square design that only measures 1.4-inches (35mm). Body design-wise it can be compared to the new GoPro Hero4 Session and SJCAM M10 Wi-Fi Mini Cube. It comes in bright and bold colors like red, blue and black, giving it a fun look and attractive design.

But even though it is small in size it features a 124° wide-angle lens, sensor and shutter button on its body, thus having all the necessary options except for an LCD screen to review your recordings and pictures.

For reviewing what you have captured on the action camera you can use the new Wi-Fi connectivity feature to connect it to any iOS or Android devices, which works till 30 feet away. A new Cube+ smartphone application will let you use your smartphone as a way to adjust and monitor the shots you want to take. You can also transfer the media easily between the smartphone and the camera, so now you can shoot, view, save, print and share just by using your mobile.

It features a built-in rechargeable battery and also boasts of a battery life of about 107 minutes, but that is with recording on 1080p at 30 FPS and no Wi-Fi.

It is weatherproof, splashproof and shockproof and thus provides comfortable usage without users having to worry every minute about its condition.

Pictures and video

The Polaroid Cube+ Mini Action Camera features an 8 MP camera that is capable of taking some decent pictures, as opposed to its 6 MP predecessor. As there is also the addition of electronic image stabilization, the pictures turn out less shaky how much ever the movement may be. It also performs better in low light or dark environments.

As for the video recording, this action camera can capture videos in full HD, with different modes like 1440p at 30 FPS, 1080p at 30 or 60 FPS and 720p at 30, 60 or 120 FPS.

Camera features include options like time delay, photo burst, time-lapse and slow motion.

The camera comes with magnetic or clip mounting options for helping the user take better framed and adjusted pictures. You can also save and store all your media on microSD cards with up to 128 GB of memory.

Conclusion

Overall, the Polaroid Cube+ Mini Action Camera is a cute looking camera that is fun to use and possesses some great features, that to at not a very high cost. If you are looking for something under $150 then this is a very good option. This price combined with its auto image stabilization feature, weatherproof design for all sport compatibility and custom accessories, makes it a great deal!
