Made for all sports, the UHWK camera is the most durable POV camera designed and built specifically with athletes in mind. Lightweight yet durable, this universally mounting high-definition camera can withstand the rigours of sports like no other camera, while helping athletes improve their own game and share their highlights.
For decades, athletes, coaches, referees and fans have found value in video footage of games and practices. It allows players to review their performances, sharpen their skills, and improve their overall game play. Athletes can also share their skills online to family and friends. It helps coaches relive entire games or practices, and gives them the information they need to help their players perform better. It gives referees an opportunity to review plays and make the fairest calls possible, and even becomes another tool for them in policing the play, making the game sports environment as safe and enjoyable as possible. Over the years, video footage has become an essential part of sports, including hockey, football, baseball and lacrosse.
But video footage is only as useful as it is clean, clear, and complete. For video footage to be useful, it has to be detailed and defined, and it has to have the whole picture, from the first play to the last point scored. Too often, standard filming isn’t enough, which is why many athletes, coaches, and referees have turned to wearable cameras to capture games and practices.
Wearable cameras record game play in a whole new way. They truly get in on the action second by second, and capture every move, every play, every missed opportunity, and every foul. That is, if they’re high quality. The problem is, many wearable cameras on the market aren’t meant for the tough, fast-paced world of sports. They’re either too heavy or bulky to be comfortable for athletes, not durable enough for the physicality of sports, or not technologically advanced enough to capture quick movements and the entire field of play.
Capture the game from a whole new perspective with UHWK, the world’s most sleek and durable action HD POV camera designed specifically for sports where performance, safety and appearance matter. Built for athletes, by athletes, UHWK’s low profile design is lightweight enough where it’s barely noticeable by the wearer, but tough enough to survive hockey, football, lacrosse, and more.
Ergonomically designed with one-button controls, the UHWK is simple to use, whether you’re a player capturing a game, a coach recording a practice, or a referee reviewing a play. It’s an ideal tool that works as:
Unlike anything else on the market, the UHWK is a modern solution for the modern world of sports.
The UHWK camera is a powerful, intelligently designed camera that has the power to transform the way athletes practice and play. It is the first camera in the world that has been designed with a contour to mount flush against the helmet, head, or body. It’s special, simple, low-profile mounting technique combined with its sporty design make it the ideal tool for athletes, coaches, and referees.
UHWK is changing the way people see the game, and by doing so, changing the game itself.
Here’s how:
Weighing only 1 ounce yet tough enough to survive the roughest game, the UHWK camera is the best of both worlds. It’s light and unobtrusive to the wearer, so they don’t even notice it’s there, but heavy-duty enough for hockey, football, and lacrosse players, and more. Finally, a camera as tough — and as versatile — as the players.
UHWK captures every moment of the game in crystal clear vision, so rewatching it is more like reliving it. As UHWK captures the game, it also captures an athlete’s telemetry data, and overlays it onto the high definition, ultra wide angle video. The camera’s advanced features include:
It can easily see the entire length of the football field, pick up audio from across the rink or capture the sound of your breath, but that’s not all. UHWK will stream an athlete’s performance live to social media networks and broadcast, so you can watch the game in a whole new way as someone else plays.
Packed with over 110 minutes of battery life, UHWK cameras can last as long as the game does. From the first whistle to the final buzzer, it can captures the entire game or practice, and be easily recharged after with a universal USB charger.
The first wearable camera in the world to conform to the head, body, or helmet, the UHWK mounting system is the only video mounting system that works with every helmet, and won’t void a helmet’s manufacturer’s warranty. Complete with an adjustable headband for wearing without a helmet, and the hardware you need to mount it somewhere, it’s many options work for every player, coach, and referee.
UHWK cameras are designed with athletes in mind, which means they’re designed to withstand any kind of playing environment and work with any kind of software afterwards, including temperatures from -20 to +50 celsius.
UHWK isn’t just prepared for the environments on the field, but the ones off the field, too. That’s why it’s ready to connect with voice commands, VR, and can plug into most coaching and social networking platforms via an open API. It is Windows, Mac, and mobile compatible, so it is ready to work for every user.
UHWK may be a young company, but we have already made a huge impact in the sports world. We have filed 5 patents — 2 provisional, 2 under review, and 1 approved — for our revolutionary camera, and we have already started to break into the marketplace as a real game changer. UHWK is the official camera of the National Lacrosse League and represents the first time a major sports organization has incorporated technology of this kind.
Last year, we successfully completed a $56,000 Kickstarter campaign that allowed us to launch our first generation product. Since then, we hit major customer acceptance milestones, including:
Our customers, many of whom are professional athletes, can’t stop raving about UHWK. The Toronto Maple Leaf’s #1 goaltender can be seen comparing it to GoPro on TSN, giving UWHK the edge. See what our other customers have to say:
“It’s finally here. This is the best piece of equipment I have seen for a player, ever. Knowing you are going to re-watch your play wearing UHWK, just dials you in to that hawk-like focus whether in practice or game. UHWK is going to be the secret sauce behind the next generation of super athletes.” — Ryan Benesch, NLL All-Star, Buffalo Bandits
“I love the design and branding. The UHWK looks so cool and fashionable all my teammates always ask me how to get one”. — Rebeccah Johnston, 2x Olympic Champion, Womens Hockey
“This a huge advantage for any athlete willing to do extra to be the best. Seeing myself from my opponents or coaches eyes allows me to evaluate my technique and improve my performance, while seeing my opponents from my own eyes again allows me to expose holes in their defence and perfect my offence. This could hold true across almost any sport” — Mandy Bujold, Rio 2016 Olympian, 9x National Boxing Champion
