Polaroid’s Cube Action Cam
Polaroid Sets Sights on GoPro With Tiny, Water-Resistant Cube Camera
It’s very likely that isn’t going to change, but Polaroid’s Cube — the latest new arrival to the action cam market for which pre-sales began Monday — is definitely the most interesting GoPro alternative to show up in years.
An early version of the Cube — then known as the much less interesting Polaroid C3 – first appeared at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January. Back then it was relatively uninteresting, a by-the-numbers action cam that happen to be cubical. And while the specs haven’t changed much in the intervening time, it got an extra megapixel (it now has six megapixels instead of five), the video was upgraded from 720p to 1080p, and the design got a nice facelift. Plus, the $100 price tag that’s been announced places it amongst the most affordable action cams.
Polaroid, a company best known for its instant photographs, has launched the Cube, a tiny but durable full HD camera.

Polaroid, a company best known for its instant photographs, has launched the Cube, a tiny but durable full HD camera.
The Cube shoots 1080p video and captures 3MP photos with its 124-degree wide angle lens. The battery is built in and rechargeable using a USB cable (Micro SD card not included).
The camera, which is just taller than inch, is also water resistant, making it a GoPro competitor. The Polaroid Cube comes standard with a high-power magnet in the base, so you can stick it to any metal surface. There are seven extra mounts for the Cube, including one that looks like a monkey. (Count us in.)
The Polaroid Cube doesn’t even come close to touching the top-of-the line GoPro stats or extreme sports chops — although it does come in significantly cheaper. One gets the sense that Polaroid didn’t even try, probably because they didn’t.
