14 DAY TRIAL // Meet the Clever Disgo Video. This device looks like an old Tetris game item, but it's in fact a pocket-sized camera, capable of shooting video content at a 640 x480 pixels resolution. In addition, the quality of the resulted media content is going to be comparable to that of a DVD. The camera can even record the footage on a 1GB SD card, but its memory can be boosted up to 2GB, maximum? not bad, for a device of its kind and mostly of its target.
The mini-camera is powered by two AA batteries and features a large 2-inch screen display, which is quite helpful when having to review the footage. Sharing of the favorite videos is also possible, as there is an integrated speaker.
Moreover, Disgo Video features just three buttons for one-touch recording, instant playback on the built LCD screen and deleting option. All of these are possible with just two AA batteries.
After you have recorded the media, you can hook the Disgo up directly to a TV set or connect it to your PC, using the built-in USB connection port. Editing the material is also possible after uploading the video to the sites that specialize in such matters, on the Internet.
But when purchasing the Clever Stuff Disgo Video player, there is also a video editing software included in the package. The device can also adjusts exposure and colour balance, automatically. Not to mention you also receive USB and Tv cables.
The device measures a "convenient" size of 106mm x 62mm x 33mm, just about the size of a brick, but weighs only 72 grams. It works great on any Windows, but cannot recognize any Mac, which might sound unfair to some users.
Regarding the mini-camera's capabilities, it can deal with most video formats on the market, such as AVI, VGA, QVGA, and more. It uses USB 1.1 connectivity and its menu is written only in English.
According to Luke Noonan, Business Development Director for Clever Stuff: "Today, everyone is shooting videos, not only computer-aware teenager and gadget fans, but also their parents and grandparents. This is why,we wanted to give consumers an easy to use and reliable video camera that doesn't cost the earth," .
