New KMSB Fox 11 Segment – Tech for Fun and Movement

In this Week’s Tech Segment from KMSB Fox 11, I’m addressing a viewer’s question. A gift request from a 10-year-old grandson of our Viewer has given us a chance to check out action camera GoPro Alternative. While a GoPro might be the dream choice, the reality of price limitations sets in. Even with recent discounts, the older GoPro models, The Hero 9 hover around $249, well above the viewer’s $100 budget and looking at this past weeks announcement from DJI , the impressive Osmo 4 Action Camera, a worthy competitor to the latest GoPro Hero 11 Black. Both cameras boast remarkable features, but they come with a price tag starting at $399.

For those aiming to strike a balance between performance and budget, We share the Akaso EK7000PRO. This nifty action camera doesn’t compromise on quality, offering different modes including 4K at 30 FPS or 1080P at 60 FPS. The package includes a variety of mounts

Another neat feature is the Akaso EK7000’s remote recording pad, accessible through a watch-type accessory. A good choice and sturdy built camera.

And that’s not all! As we transition back into the school season, it’s natural to ponder how our kids will spend their time at home. The FitBit Ace 3 offers a perfect solution. This engaging gadget encourages kids to stay active, providing motivation, movement reminders, and even bedtime alerts. The customizable bands add a personal touch, while all-day activity tracking fosters a sense of achievement.

Users would need to set up a Google Family Account, providing both parents and children their respective digital spaces. It’s a fantastic way to strike a balance between fun and responsibility, particularly for children aged 6 and above.
