RE easily integrates with both Android and iOS devices to back up your photos and videos to the cloud. Just grab, point and shoot with RE’s intuitive controls. The grip sensor is always on and wakes the capture capability when picked up. Simply tap the shutter button to capture photos or press and hold to take videos. RE is also IPX7-compliant.3 This means you can capture the fun up to one meter underwater for 30 minutes without a protective case.
