Story

 

Why We Choose Indiegogo?

 

From Snoppa Technology’s first campaign “SnoppaGo” to the fourth “ATOM” campaign on Indiegogo, thousands of backers trusted us and backed us, and we very much appreciate and want to say “thank you” to all of you. You are the reason to support us always keep the passion. We love filming, and enjoy it, Vmate is a new start, and Indiegogo is our trusted platform with our years of supporters, so we chose to first launch on Indiegogo.

 

 

 

 

 

A palm-sized gimbal camera with all your needs

 

 

Snoppa Vmate is a handheld compact high-performance 4k smart camera integrated with a micro 3-axis stabilizing system. It is light, portable, and lets you can carry it anywhere. With it, capturing great moments is easy: no need to take a bag of devices.

 

 

 

Micro 3-axis Stabilizing System

Snoppa’s newly designed micro 3-axis stabilizing system can effectively eliminate shakes and jitters when filming handheld on the go, allowing for smooth and highly detailed footage.

Great Portability

Unlike ordinary gimbals which are commonly big and heavy, Vmate only weighs 118 grams, which is as light as a lemon.

 

 

The Vmate is so small that you can easily carry it in your pocket, handbag, or even just hang it on your wrist.

 

 

Quick Initial Setup

Compared with traditional gimbals, Vmate is much easier and faster to set up. It doesn’t require a phone to be mounted and doesn’t need balancing. It just starts ready for operation right away.

 

You won’t miss the moment anymore!

 

 

High-quality Camera

           Vmate supports a high-performance camera utilizing:

  • Image Sensor: 1/2.3 inch;
  • FOV: 81˚ wide lens;
  • Aperture: F2.0.

 

 

Thanks to the powerful CPU with A53 cores, it can shoot:

  • Video up to 4k@60 fps;
  • 8X slow-motion video (1080@240fps);
  • 12-megapixel stills. 

 

 

Fast And Accurate Auto Focusing

Vmate can quickly auto adjust the focus between objects of different distance, and always keep your filming target sharp and clear in the frame.

 

 

Multi-functional Case

The Vmate carrying case is not only designed to protect the device. It comes with a foldable phone holder, to which you can attach a phone for a more comfortable grab.

 

 

One-hand control

 

  

  

Extra Bright Touchscreen Display

Vmate equips with a 1.22″ sharp touchscreen with high brightness up to 850 nits, allowing you to frame clearly even under bright sunlight. 

Touchscreen lets you set controls and change configuration with a finger touch right on the Vmate.

 

 

 

90˚ Rotating Lens

The camera head-on Vmate can rotate by 90˚, which lets you switch between landscape and portrait orientation in a flick.

 

 

 

Wifi Connection

 

 

Vmate has a built-in WiFi module, providing the wireless interface to let your phone connect with it. Paired with Snoppa’s dedicated app, the phone can be used for a wireless preview and some advanced features like broadcaster mode.

 

 

 

The WiFi module allows you to wirelessly synchronize the files from Vmate to your phone anytime and anywhere.

Superfast on File Transfer

Vmate integrates a type-c port for charging and file transfer. Thanks to the USB 3.1 GEN 1 port feature, Vmate can export the file at a speed of 72MB/s, which is 8x as fast as an ordinary USB 2.0 port.

 

 

 

Built-in Microphone

A good video always comes with good audio. Vmate has a dual-microphone system, providing two audio recording modes, either noise reduction or stereo. The Mobile application lets you switch between them, to fit any situation.

 

External microphone

Vmate also has a Bluetooth module. Aside from the built-in mic system, it is possible to use any Bluetooth microphone as an audio source while recording video. Wearing your Apple Airpods, or other TWS earbuds lets you comment your video flawlessly as it goes, making the process of audio recording much easier.

 

 

Broadcaster Mode

Broadcaster mode lets you spend less time editing your footage! The selfie camera on the phone and gimbal camera can both record video simultaneously: show the scenery and your reaction to it at the same time.

 

 

 

Wonderful App Features

With the dedicated app, people can get more gimbal controls and shooting methods

 

 

Automatically keeps the target centered in the frame

 

Up to 8X slow motion (or 1080p@240fps) lets you stop time and watch cool action in detail

The POV mode lets gimbal smoothly follow your movements, recording first-person view footage.

 

Timelapse, motion lapse, hyper-lapse, allows you to squeeze a long period of beautiful time into a short clip.

Long exposure night shot

Using the “night shot“ mode lets you take photos at longer exposure time, resulting in better detail and color. Because the camera is stabilized, there’s no need to use a tripod to get sharp, blur-free pictures at night with Vmate when taking long-exposure stills.

 
 

 

Vmate Adapter

Vmate adapter is one of the accessories that are specially designed for Vmate, which has a bite mount and a 1/4 threaded hole. With Vmate adapter, you can easily make use of other third party mounts like GoPro mount. 

 

 

With it, you can mount the Vmate on your wrist, helmet, or even on bicycles.

Vmate adapter has a quick-release design, which allows you to attach or detach the Vmate quickly just with one action.

Why You Should Invest In Vmate Right Now

The main focus of this campaign are promotional and pre-ordering activities. Instead of just raising money. We are offering the project backers an unique opportunity to get our new amazing product at an attractive and affordable price immediately after the end of the product campaign and before the sale of the product in the open market. All pre-ordered products will also come with a 1-year warranty.

 

What’s the current status of Vmate? 

Vmate is a very special product we have ever made. It is challenging to pack so many components into such a tiny body. It took us over ten months to carefully design such a nifty gadget with lots of fantastic functions. With this revolutionary and challenging product, we are very careful on every stage of the R&D and production progress, and have spent a lot of time on testing and evaluation. Right now, we are about to begin the mass production, and we are meticulously working to prepare enough stock, to be able to ship the orders ASAP.
