Ricoh Imaging has announced the launch of the PENTAX O-GPS2 - a versatile GPS Unit that not only gives
basic location data, but also offers an array of original features that allow for the effort- less tracking and photographing of celestial bodies.
The PENTAX O-GPS2 has been developed as a successor to the "O-GPS1" (released in June 2011). In addition to GPS in the US and QZSS in Japan - GLONASS and Galileo can be newly received.
Simply by mounting the PENTAX O -GPS2 onto the hot-shoe of a PENTAX digital SLR camera, the user can record the latitude, longitude, altitude, universal time coordinated (UTC) and aspect of shooting locations onto captured images. Image files carrying the location data, can be used to track shooting locations and review location data on a PC. The location data stored on such files also makes it much easier to sort and file recorded images.
By coupling the location data with the camera’s SR (Shake Reduction) system, the unit offers a range of unique, advanced applications, including ASTROTRACER, Simple Navigation and Electronic Compass.
The PENTAX O-GPS2 is available now priced at £249.99.
