    >"You asked what convinces people to work with us? That's it. It's always the video."

    And yet the article has no video? Their landing page has the actual video: https://www.rylo.com/

    or if you just want a direct link: https://player.vimeo.com/video/240323835

    The article talks about 3 videos that the reviewer was wowed by... but has neither the videos nor links to videos. For a native advertisement piece, this is not the greatest one.

    Looks like a GoPro/action camera clone that has image stabilization. I have shot a lot with action cameras, but ended up never editing it or sharing it. I think they're addressing a real issue with making it super easy to edit/share. Also, Apple should be making things easier for device makers to seamlessly transfer data.

    I scrolled all the way down for a sample that was not there. Can't believe someone wrote an article about a video camera and did not include a single sample.

    Is it waterproof/water-resistant? One part of the video makes me think so, but I was unable to find any more details on that.

    But none of the said footage is shown. So I have no idea if the footage is really fantastic, as the author claims.

    I must confess the video is making me feel pretty sick. Anyone else feels the same thing ?

    „breakthrough stabilization technology“

    Does this mean mechanical-stabilization of some form (like a free-floating lens mechanism)? Or software-stabilization (usually implies heavily cropping the pic)?

    The one thing I look for in any action camera is the ability to hook it up to my PC and use it as a web camera. Cheap $30 spy glasses cams from China have this feature almost universally. Even my old Vivitar pocket digital camera did this.

    Why do newer more expensive cameras tend to not have this function? Especially in the case of this camera, being able to do a live video from my laptop and simply frame the shot or control it live would be perfect when I'm doing something like live lapidary lessons. Such a simple feature that would guarantee a sale from me, something most cheap ubiquitous cameras have, yet it's not present.
