Transcend Drivepro Body 20

If a picture paints a thousand words, then Full HD video at 30 FPS should paint 1,800,000 words per minute. In a world where criminal elements come in all shapes, forms, and attire, it wouldn’t hurt to have some video evidence to back your story up. Meant primarily for security and police personnel, the Transcend Drivepro Body 20 is a body camera that’s meant to be kept on your person, recording at all times, just in case.

DESIGN

The Body 20 is a reasonably small device that measures in at roughly 3.5 x 2 x .75 inches. Tipping the scales at 88 grams, it’s also light enough to be worn unobtrusively on your uniform, jacket, or vest with no problem. The design is simple, as it should be. There are two buttons, one to power the unit on and start recording, and another to take a snapshot while the device rolls. The only other features of note on the outside of the device are the large camera lens, a microphone, the indicator light, and the 3.5mm charging/data port at the bottom. It’s perfect in its simplicity, and should take minimal training to use.
