Hands-on with Liquid Image's LTE-capable Ego LS action cam
1/6/2014 1:05:00 AM

Liquid Image revealed its 4G LTE Ego LS action cam just hours ago, so we made a made dash to take a look for ourselves. In terms of size, the LS is a bit smaller than the popular Go Pro cams, but there's no built-in battery and the requisite 1,900 mAh juice pack nearly doubles the thickness of the unit. It's wrapped in a rather dapper matte black soft-touch coating that makes fondling the gadget quite nice. On the face, there's a display for keeping tabs complete with a red light recording and connectivity indicators. There's a play button up top, with power and connectivity buttons (the cam has both WiFi and Bluetooth options) around to the side. The requisite ports for HDMI, microSD card, USB and connecting to either power, the aforementioned battery or the 4G LTE module lie on the bottom edge. Liquid Image has partnered with Verizon for the cellular connectivity bit, which comes at the hands of a clip-in accessory complete with it's own 1,900 mAh battery to power the streaming. That LTE module will set you back an additional $199 on top of the two hundred bones that Ego LS costs on its own and nearly doubles the size (we're talking width here) of the action cam alone. For a look at the whole lot, there's a quick video walkthrough just past the break.
