Would love if Sea Shepherd got sponsored a few of the cams to test out. 🙂

Oh, the Verve Cam+, yes, it looks convenient. The big factor, as always of course, will be its UX which includes how easy the app will (or won’t) be to use. Good to hear from you as always Omar.
Oh, I forgot to mention I was told the cam has a high “Ingress Protection” rating (IP). I think it has resistance to saltwater with the high IP. I’ll find out for you Omar.
Alex, gotta love how you get all the cool toys to play with!

Hey Austin! That livestreaming cam seems good doesn’t it?
I really like the progress in projection phone technology

Yes! If that projector add-on works well, I can see small businesses falling in love with it. But from what I understand, a darkened room is required.
I also understand all the add-ons (called “Moto Mods”, of which the projector is just one of several) attach via magnets (albeit “strong” ones) … but … magnets? I sorta feel a better method could’ve been chosen, but then again I can’t really say because I didn’t try it in real life yet.
Being a former GoPro marketer and avid lifestyle video streamer, I am really impressed with with Motorola has done with the Verve Ones+ and Verve Cam. I just purchased the JBL water resistant, waterproof speakers for her 12th birthday. Ironically, she asked for wireless headphones and I could not give her a response. I just looked at her and said with a smirk “Next year for that” :-). I am very intrigued in the Verve One and Cam for myself to check out.

Oh, nice. Y’know what’s funny is that during the Bosch e-bike demo last month, our test group actually had a GoPro on us; well, @NYactor (Matt Rappaport) did, meaning his personal one. He just forgot to take it out of his bag. I hope you check out the e-bike replay, Arvin. It was pretty cool. Here it is: ebikes.SocialAlex.LIVE
I gotta say: I’m having unpleasant Bluetooth pairing issues with Windows 10 and the Verve Ones+. I’m sure it’s a Windows 10 issue, as usual!
Woah so awesome if love to give those a go. Finally something useful and practical.
Vin
I was told the Verve Cam+ can clip onto your clothes. (Would’ve been sooooo helpful to have it last month for our e-bike demo, right? Oh well) I think the Verve Cam+ is more affordable than the “Mevo” too, but in the same range; I really should check on that. The Verve.Life website also says the Verve Cam+ is a “social” cam, and I need more clarity on that because I’m all about social.
Hey Alex,
Love the cam design, live streaming directly from the cam to Youtube sounds great.
I haven’t tried out too many wearable tech stuff so far, would love to give this one a try,
thanks,
Uttoran Sen
Right now it’s just YouTube but from what I understand there could be other platforms coming in the future. Nice to hear from you, Uttoran! How’s everything at GuestCrew?
The Verve+ cam looks really cool. I attend (and host) various speaker events and it would be cool to have a tool like this for streaming. Will definitely check it out.
Hey hey. Trying to get the manufacturer to chime in.
On Twitter, follow @AVerveLife to see tweets about Motorola Verve Life products, including the VerveCam+.
The verve camera looks awesome! Is there a way to test it?
Hi Sandy –Hoping we’ll get to do that, meaning you, me and everyone who’s commented here. 🙂 David, if you’re reading this, we can all be a focus group of testers for you. Pretty sure we all use Facebook Live and we all have access to YouTube. We’re well-versed in live streaming issues and vernacular.
Another FYI for you, David: Omar (from Sea Shepherd Australia, he wrote the first reader comment here) won a bronze lion at Cannes Lions (in Cannes Lions’ “film craft” category) a few weeks ago. And remember, the business card you handed me last month has your phone number on it; expect me to use it! LOL!
