AtlasCam is a telemetry camera for rides and outdoor video: a live HUD with GPS, speed, heading, mini map, and weather, plus optional LiDAR depth on supported hardware—so your footage tells the full story of where you were and how you were moving. Save to external storage Plug in a compatible USB drive or external volume and save recordings where you want them—ideal for long sessions and large files without constantly clearing space on your iPhone or iPad. Onewheel telemetry Pair a Onewheel over Bluetooth to pull live board data into the same HUD pipeline you use for GPS. Use it while you record so your exports can show ride telemetry alongside map, speed, and environmental context—purpose-built for riders who care about what the board was doing, not just the view from the camera. Everything else you expect Fine-tune what appears on screen, review and manage captures in the library, and export with your layout baked in—so what you see while filming matches what you share. Note: External storage and Onewheel features depend on connected hardware, permissions (e.g. camera, location, Bluetooth), and firmware/device support. LiDAR features require a LiDAR-capable device.
