Wonder how strong the magnet is. For example, would it fling off if you swung a driver it was connected to? Wondering since they show it on a putter.
I would be absolutely shocked if the magnet was that strong.

Re: Polaroid Cube
#62Finally someone else is stepping into the GoPro market. Good to see competition here. I know the feature sets aren't identical but sometimes worse is better.
Some of you seems to know the market quite well - here is my question: I would like to have a GoPro alike Cam for mostly indoor usage (low light) with exchangeable lenses (for interviews). I have used a GoPro3+B in the past and like its size and app based control. But for low light indoor settings it delivers sub par quality. What would be a better camera for such a setting?
Re: Polaroid Cube
#63Just a side note for those comparing these to GoPros's - this isn't a direct competitor to the GoPro; Polaroid already sell the XS100 which is actually a pretty decent action camera - probably best bang for your buck currently (I have one and use it regularly; it's still very much first gen, rough around the edges but excellent where it counts). I think the cube is awesome for a fun, inexpensive little camera to stic…
Available accessories include:
Waterproof case and suction cup mount Handlebar mount Helmet mount
This is absolutely a GoPro competitor whether Polaroid are competing with their own lineup or not.
I do agree that they're going for a more casual angle than GoPro with the marketing and presentation, though.
I think GoPro are in an interesting place - they have an extremely strong brand, but "plugged-in" budget-seeking enthusiasts will seek out wallet friendly clones like the SJ4000 while the casual market is inundated with name-brand options at a lower price point.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's = Shortended "it is" "It is wide angle lens" doesn't work.
Is that true? A statement like, "Drive Tom's car" is grammatically correct, but I don't think it is expanded to "Drive Tom is car".
Usually, -'s can mean either singular possessive or a contraction for "- is."
"It," however, is a special case. "Its" is possessive, and "It's" is reserved only for the contraction of the phrase "It is."

That's because "Tom's" is possessive in this case. The possessive form of "it" is "its" (no apostrophe). The way I remember it: if you can substitute "his" or "hers" for "its", then don't use an apostrophe.

#67I wonder how many young people will think "Polaroid ripped off Instagram's logo!"?
Re: Polaroid Cube
#68I'd love to use a bunch of these to build a "bullet time" camera array. Can anybody think of a cheaper/easier method?
I assume you have seen:
Re: Polaroid Cube
#69> It’s wide angle lens... You'd think they'd have someone proofread a product announcement.
Maybe that's supposed to be read in the same way as "it is 5 megapixels"...

#70I might as well drop this link here: http://www.chucklohr.com/808/index.shtml I have the #16 and its a neat little toy for my cheap syma quad copter.
The Mobius action cam has mostly supplanted the cheap 808 keychain cameras for that kind of use at this point. Roughly the same size, generally around $75, and they record passable HD video.
