Specs and features of the Panasonic Lumix DMC FT30 action camera.
Mounting and Form
This camera is of the point and shoot rectangular shape which you can grip usually better than normal action cameras. Here you can see the average size of these cameras next to a AA battery.
This action camera as seen here next to a double A battery is wider than most action cameras and usually much heavier too.
This camera is bigger than a AA battery on all sides, including it's side. But this depth with it's height give it a good amount to grip on to and still isn't too big.
Your action camera's most important feature is how it will mount to you, your vehicles and other parts of your activities. Below we look at how this camera fits to certain mounts and what it's mounting setup is.
There are two main mounting systems, the GoPro (2 to 3 fin mount) and the 1/4" (quarter inch) thread mount.
When we decide how each camera is mounted, we talk about it's form, whether it would fit to a certain popular mounting type, such as on the chest, head or in-hand and whether there was a mounting type for this too.
This camera has a female 1/4" thread and accepts a universal 1/4" threaded male mount, which you screw in to the camera, just like what a tripod comes with at the top. If the camera only has this mount option, you can get a tripod mount to action camera adapter to open up the world of gopro (2 to 3 fin) mount options.
