Pentax Waterproof Camera With Gps

This new dslr from Pentax implements many nice changes with a few that I didn't really like. This is my fourth Pentax dslr and my second crop. I hoping they don't realize the K-1 Mark III this year, knowing Pentax development, they take their time to make something good. This camera is the same quality I have come to expect from Pentax. Pricewise, this is expensive. I am not a fan of losing the built-in gps, kind of ruins astrotracing features a little. The trade off is worth it for the pentaprism. I hope they release the next gps II unit for the hotshoe soon and that it improves from the past edition. A touch screen on a dslr or any larger than a point and shooter is not really for me. I think camera manufactures are trying to make the interaction for like a phone. Seems like something that I could touch accidently or get all gross over time. I also wish Pentax followed some Fuji's design and had the screen so I could flip it closed and shoot just with the viewfinder. The screen not tilting is not a deal breaker for me. I would have liked tilting, or even being able to flip the screen closed. The other minor disappointment is the charging. I am not sure why camera manufacturers are no longer including battery chargers. Maybe they figure we own them already or they can make more money or maybe there was something about fast charging that made it impractical. Charging the battery from a wall outlet directly in the camera is not a great idea especially since the battery is removable. If there was a power surge could be possible to fry the 2 grand camera. Luckily Pentax didn't change batteries so I can use my old chargers. The upgrades to the Pentax dslr hopefully will be seen in a future released K-1 as well. Although I hope Pentax keep the gps on the K-1. I put the old 43mm on it and need to get out shooting....

Used This Tripod For Pentax Wg-1 GPS, Works Well, Perfectly Sized For Camera, Carefull Using Coin To Mount To Camera, Paint Came Off Doing So.

I have had two previous Pentax wireless remotes (I still have them). This one is much easier to use, its waterproof, and it has more features than the old ones.

Fits my gopro camera and waterproof housing.

That is what I need for my Pentax K1000 film camera.

Good Camera with tough body and got waterproof

Works great with her Coolpix S30 waterproof camera.

since my phone is a 2023 motorola and can't run the app... which was a pain for activating the camera... I had to purchase this unit to supply gps to the X3. It works good. lets you control the camera, and shows status.. seems to work okay.. I noticed some of my gps mappings were slightly off, but i guess its just a thing. The only wonky thing with this remote is it 'awakening the camera'.. someone it is quick, sometimes it takes long.. and sometimes i simply just turn it on manually even with it on top of my head. The straps are nice, fits nice around the handlebar. sometimes i've noticed pushing the putting to take a picture, doesn't always take a picture.. These could be novice things, i'm sure things will get smoother. enjoying the experience.. just wish the camera itself didn't require the app for certain things. While I have figured out how to manually update the firmware of the x3, i have not figured out how to do so with the remote control, without the app.

This is one of the best GPS I have ever owned up to today.

Enjoy using it! Easier to use than the last GPS!!!
