After a long absence, I’m here to introduce a new rugged action camera called MGCOOL Explorer 2C. The camera allows for recording 4K videos with 24 fps and 1080p Full HD videos with 60 fps.
In order to allow convenient and easy operation, the Explorer 2C camera features a generous 2-inch live-view display with touch control.
While on the left side of the camera are located the micro USB and HDMI connectors, on the right side are located two control buttons (the upper one allows to enable/disable WiFi connection).
The MGCOOL Explorer 2C adopts similar hardware to the SJ5000x camera. It uses the same Novatek NT96660 SoC and Sony IMX078 CMOS image sensor.
