The small but proud Quelima brand continues to amaze visitors to Chinese online stores: these guys manage to fit the hardware of a serious action camera into an incredibly small body. So small that their devices can be hung on even the lightest quadcopters. Or hide it in the most unobvious places.
What use can you think of for a matchbox-sized camera that shoots FullHd no worse than GoPro 4?
This time the Quelima line has been replenished with another mini-camera from the SQ line. A new product with incredibly small dimensions traditional for the series Quelima SQ13 received a bunch of unique features.
- Firstly, this is the smallest action camera - only 3.00 x 2.80 x 2.50 cm.
- Secondly, this is one of the lightest action cameras - weight Quelima SQ13 Mini only 24 grams.
- Thirdly, despite its size, Quelima SQ13 Mini received protection in the form of a durable plastic case with a rubberized coating.
And finally, the most important thing is that this is not even an action camera, but a car recorder (DVR, DVR camera) with a viewing angle of 155 degrees.
Cool? And how!
The Quelima SQ13 Mini cube has a lens with a diameter of 2.33 millimeters. It is illuminated by 8 infrared LEDs - it is with their help that the camera takes pictures at dusk and at night. During the day, the shooting range is about 15 meters, in the dark - no more than 5 meters. Or, more correctly, this is the range of the camera’s autofocus and effective shooting, at which you can accurately make out the numbers.
The Quelima SQ13 Mini's sensor resolution is 3 megapixels. This is enough for photos with a resolution of 2K and shooting videos in 1080P quality (Full HD). The night shooting function is enabled separately.
Quelima SQ13 Mini does not have its own memory; memory cards up to 32 GB are used to store recordings. For charging and synchronization with a computer, in which the device acts as a storage device, a USB connector is located on one of the faces. In offline mode, thanks to the built-in 300 mAh battery, the camera operates for at least 90 minutes.
Shooting modes are switched directly on the body using the “Mode” button. You can select nightly, cyclic or continuous. In addition, there is a “Turn off/off” button. The status, in the absence of a display, is monitored using indicators: on/off, battery, Wi-Fi and night vision.
For more accurate work, you can use the Sports DV smartphone app. With its help, Quelima SQ13 Mini can work as a surveillance camera or an action camera - you just need to select the appropriate mode and adjust the synchronization.
The SQ13 Mini is sold in 3 colors: red, blue and platinum. Thanks to this, the device can be easily hidden on the dashboard or interior trim to hide the recorder from prying eyes and effectively monitor any situation.
The mount and USB cable are included in the package. You can purchase a tiny aquabox separately. Not a bad set, and a good choice for its purpose.
Moreover, the cost Quelima SQ13 Mini is only $19.99, and on sale it can be purchased for only $9.99 - an extremely low price for any recorder.
