With the new Sony HDR-AS100V camera, you don’t need a case anymore (Has a splashproof body now) and it has a tri-pod mount on the bottom of the body unlike the old Sony Action camera. Battery power is supposed to last up to a 3.5 whopping hours! You also get 24p high speed 120 and 240fps WITH SOUND (unlike last model)! From what I hear the image stabilization is much better than the previous generation. Also, there is an option to use a live remote watch that can control up to 5 cameras!
