For those who would prefer to mount the camera to a helmet or backpack a Multi-Mount option is available.

Featuring a host of image-enhancing technologies, including a bright F2.5 lens, a BSI Sensor and Advanced Image Processing LSI, this wearable camera captures clear, low-noise images in both bright and dim lighting situations. It also minimizes shooting mistakes, with an Image Stabilizer to suppress blurring, and a Level Shot function to automatically correct tilted images.
Capitalising on Panasonic’s long camcorder history
The HX-A100 also offers a large number of advantages resulting from Panasonic’s long history of camcorder development. This is what makes it possible to shoot and share images with the user’s precise line-of-sight perspective for special events, sports activities and everyday situations.
