Where it fits a parent’s day

  • Hands-free capture. Record a first bike ride while you’re holding the bike.
  • Calls and music. Open-ear speakers, so you can still hear the kids.
  • Ask the assistant. Voice questions while your hands are full.

Things to think about

  • Privacy. Other parents may not love being filmed at the playground. The capture light is there for a reason.
  • Prescription lenses add cost.
  • It’s a camera on your face. Some schools and venues won’t welcome it.
