Your smartphone camera may pack a lot of megapixels into a pocket-sized package, but when it comes to keeping up with your adventures, it often falls short. You probably wouldn’t use your phone to record a snowboarding run, a snorkeling expedition, or a freefall out of an airplane, would you? No, for those kinds of extracurriculars, you’ll need a camera designed to capture life the way you live it, a reliably durable, endlessly portable device that can record every ride, jump, and splash in vivid detail. You’ll need the YoCam Versatile Waterproof HD Camera

After earning more than $1 million in its massively successful Indiegogo campaign, YoCam is now available to the public. This all-in-one digital device is super small (about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide), super lightweight (about 2 ounces), and super waterproof (in water up to 20 feet deep), allowing you to capture mind-blowing pictures and video at 8MP resolution. It also features built-in image and video stabilization to minimize shakiness during your wildest activities, and the ability to connect to a compatible smartphone app to unlock tons of cool features.

Available for both iOS and Android devices, the YoCam app includes functions like story generator, live previewing, video editing, and social media sharing. There’s even a camera control feature that lets you set up your YoCam as a security monitoring device that you can activate and manipulate from miles away. If you’ve got a child or a pet at home, or you just want to watch over your valuables while you’re away, YoCam and its app can make it happen. 

YoCam is equipped with a built-in 700 mAh lithium-ion battery that can provide up to 2 hours of continuous recording at 1080p, 320fps. When it’s time to recharge your YoCam, simply plug its included micro-USB charging cable into the USB port on your laptop, desktop, or wall charger. The device also comes with a handy mounting clip and a pendant cord. 

Bring this tiny, adventure-ready camera on your next trip for just $99.99—half off the regular price.
