TomTom is a name that has become virtually synonymous with “navigation”. The Dutch company has decided to diversify its range of products, entering the field of action cam with Bandit , a device aimed to “edit and share video easily and fast.” All at a competitive price after all, considering the quality.
The TomTom Bandit Action Camera is proposed as an alternative to GoPro , considered the points of reference in this area, and the attack with a 16 megapixel sensor that can shoot video in 4K. A resolution so high, however, could cause problems in terms of frames per second: the Bandit would capture video in fact just 15 fps, a figure that would make the film obtained sluggish. And that, for an action cam, is undesirable.
