Rounding up what’s new and exciting

Manfrotto 492, 492LCD and 490 Manfrotto’s redesigned its 492 and 492LCD centre ball heads and launched a 490 model (above). The heads have a payload of 4kg, while the 492LCD comes with a coldshoe for attaching accessories to a camera. www.manfrotto.co.uk; from £45 Ricoh WG-60

A minor refresh of the WG-50, Ricoh’s latest rugged compact is now available in red, but still doesn’t shoot 4K video. It is still, however, waterproof down to 14m and can stay at that depth for two hours. www.ricoh-imaging. co.uk; £250 GoXtreme Rebel

This low-cost, low-res action cam can be picked up for under £50 at Sainsbury’s in the UK. It only has a small 1MP sensor, so resolution is seriously limited, and it can only shoot 720p video at 30fps (or 1080p interpolated). www.goxtreme-actioncams. £49
