THE ATC9K

Although the ATC9K features a nice looking water proof housing it's quite small and measures 104mm in length, 62mm in height and 49mm in width with a weight of 139g.

Perhaps the most important feature of the ATC9K is its 1080p video recording resolution along with its 5 mega-pixel sensor.

As already mentioned the auto-focus lens have a wide FOV of 130 degrees (right above we see the laser pointer, record/charge LED and the IR sensor).

The company logo is placed right above the 3 LEDs and right behind it we see the video and photo buttons.

The ATC9K is one of the very few action cameras available in the market that come ready with a rear LCD screen paired with navigation buttons which allow you to adjust its settings wherever you are.

A safety clip is placed over the 1.5" LCD and is used to keep the battery/micro SD card/GPS/HDMI/mini USB compartment water proof.

The 1050mAh lithium polymer battery gives the ATC9K roughly 100 minutes of life and can be charged either while in the ATC9K or via the separately sold wall charger.

Mounting the GPS receiver (unfortunately we didn't receive one for testing), the lithium polymer battery and the micro SD card is very easy as you can see from the above picture.

One other thing that i like about the ATC9K is that it also comes ready with an remote control which you can use to playback content from the ATC9K to your screen (via HDMI) or to start/stop video recording and also take pictures.

The remote is also waterproof since there's also a rubber ring under the battery cover.

Inside the bundle you will also find two hard plastic covers, one for the lens and one for the rear 1.5" LCD.

Oregon Scientific also sells a suction mount for the ATC9K which we used in our tests.

For good or bad the mount is rather long but we had no problem configuring it to meet our needs.
