The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) race generated extra highlights this year through 47 HDR-AS15 Action Cams, which were fitted to the vehicles of leading racers. The astounding content is available for viewing on the Sony Action Cam YouTube channel.
Designed to capture video footage from the most extraordinary vantage points, Action Cam brings together the best of Sony technology into a 90g body that features a 16.8MP Exmor R sensor and delivers functions such as image stabilisation and slow motion photography.
Christopher Coote, Producer at North One TV, the host broadcast, distribution and sponsorship partner of the Isle of Man TT Races, said: “We were impressed with the picture and sound quality of the Action Cam for delivering output that belied its size. We needed a camera solution that was unobtrusive but enabled us to capture the adrenalin rush experienced by the TT riders, and the Action Cam fitted the bill perfectly – the reason we adopted it as the official camera for the TT Races this year.”
The International Isle of Man TT Race is one of the most prestigious motorcycle races in the world. The legendary event has attracted teams, riders and fans from around the world for more than 100 years. With a course that has remained largely untouched since 1911, the 37 plus miles of public roads never cease to amaze and astound, while capturing the imagination of enthusiasts like no other motorcycling venue can. The race remains the ultimate test of man and machine.
