Live Streaming, Wireless Control

Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to live stream footage directly to sources of your choice. The camera supports RTSP, RTP, RTMP, and RTMPS protocols. It can stream Full HD resolution video in both unicast and multicast formats. Connect to the HC ROP app on a tablet or smartphone for remote control and live image preview.

Interface and Connectivity

An HDMI output port delivers UHD 4K video to a source of your choice. Record directly to two SD cards simultaneously in MOV/MP4 formats. An integrated stereo microphone captures 48 kHz 16-bit audio in AVCHD/MP4 formats and 48 kHz 24-bit audio in MOV formats. Add your own microphone using the 3.5mm stereo mini jack or 3-pin XLR input with phantom power support and monitor your overall audio via the headphone jack. An additional audio output for a speaker is also included. Remotely control the camera via a 2.5mm mini jack.

Hybird OIS, Face Detection Autofocus

Hybrid 5-axis OIS (optical image stabilization) ensures your footage remains stable using both optical and electronic stabilization. A Ball OIS system also improves small-amplitude blurring. High-precision autofocus with face detection technology locks onto subjects for precise focusing while maintaining exposure. Use the articulating 3.5" LCD touchscreen to activate precise tracking and the OLED EVF viewfinder for handheld image monitoring.

ND Filters

The camera features built-in selectable clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 ND mechanical filters for quick adjustments during changing lighting conditions.

Long Battery Life

A 5900mAh rechargeable battery keeps the camera up and running for up to 6 hours and 10 minutes of UHD 4K shooting. You can also use the USB-C input to power the camera via DC sources.
