Surgical point-of-view recording just went mobile with our new MiniCam 1080 Recording App for Android. We are pleased to release the new app which makes tether-free filming possible for all MiniCam 1080 users, old and new. The new app makes it possible to record and take photos from anywhere in the room, without requiring a USB connection to a computer.

To get started, simply install the Futudent recording app from the Google Play Store and connect your MiniCam 1080 to any suitable Android phone or tablet. Then put your device in your pocket and start filming as usual.  The device provides power and storage for the MiniCam 1080 and enables an entirely portable camera set-up.

For our V1 MiniCam HD users, a necessary firmware upgrade is required. It  can be installed free of charge by contacting info@la-lens.com. The app is also free on the Google Play store, making this useful new functionality is available to all users.

Key Features:

• 1080p and 720p recordings supported
• Capture audio
• Live stream to external monitor (via Chromecast or Miracast)
• Free to all MiniCam 1080 users
• Camera firmware upgrade might be needed, please contact info@la-lens.com

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth this year at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. We enjoyed having the opportunity to demo our latest loupe-mounted video camera - MiniCam 1080 - to everyone who stopped by. It was great to hear the many different uses for the camera from each of you, from patient education to teaching. If we didn't get the chance to talk to you, you can find out more about our camera here.

Next stop... The Pacific Dental Conference in Vancouver. Hope to see you there!

We enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing some familiar faces at the American Transplant Congress this week in Boston. It's exciting to hear the positive impact video recording has had in the field of transplantation, for both teaching and documentation purposes. Videos taken with the MiniCam HD loupe-mounted camera help doctors and other healthcare professionals see exactly what went on during each surgery; they are no longer simply relying on memory. Videos can also be displayed on a screen in the OR during each surgery in order allow for a larger, real-time view of the procedure.

Check out this video taken with the MiniCam HD loupe-mounted video camera. Filmed from the doctor's perspective, this video shows the doctor packing retraction cord around the patient's gums. It was shot with the standard 2x lens.

Thank you to Dr. Alejandro Berg for this fantastic testimonial about our MiniCam HD loupe-mounted video camera.

Testimonial from Dr. Alejandro Berg (Santiago, Chile): 

"We had been using an intraoral camera for over 15 years and recently switched to the L.A. Lens MiniCam HD in 2015. The change was so radical that we now call our videos "First Person Dentistry". Now the first thing we are asked in every single lecture we give is, "How was this recorded?". The quality of the videos is such that we are able to review videos in order to improve our diagnosis, techniques, and the correlation with clinical success. It has also helped us to change the way we do treatment planning and improve the way we relate to our patients and colleagues. We could not be happier."
