These October 2018 photography tech trends cover a range of innovations that aim to make snapping shots easier, higher quality, or more accessible.
One highlight is the Seabird 4K Camera, which is currently being funded through a campaign on Indiegogo. Built with a 4K resolution and seven-layer glass lens, the camera is made to film high-definition footage with ease. Due to its wireless connectivity, the camera can even be controlled remotely.
Also featured is the miniature OPKIX ONE camera, which can be positioned almost anywhere to record footage in high resolution. As the camera is so small, it can be worn as a pendant on a necklace, or even on the arm of a pair of sunglasses. This allows users to catch footage from a first person perspective, without having to worry about packing around any hefty gear.
