As the pioneers for next-generation POV live streaming, the wearable market is what we live and breathe for as the device you use to stream determines at least half of the quality of your content! We don’t discriminate against any type of device as long as they fit MPAX requirements, however, we have our favorite! In this article we will discuss the performance of each MPAX supported device and let you decide what would work best for your content performance.
MPAXplatform device requirements
MPAX has set a high bar for devices compatible with its platform, focusing on features that enhance live streaming. Essential requirements include:
- The capability to stream Full HD video,
- A head-up display for real-time notifications,
- Noise-canceling microphones for clear audio,
- And IP65 waterproof certification for durability.
Camera specifications are equally crucial, with a preference for…
- Full HD 1080p resolution,
- A 180° wide-angle field of view,
- And advanced image stabilization.
Additionally, devices must have a compact Li-polymer battery capable of over 100 minutes of usage and the ability to function while charging.
Connectivity is also key, with requirements for WIFI 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0.
But do not be alarmed, although this sounds quite ambitious — the majority of the latest devices that capture content include most of the specifications. However, it’s always important to check before buying!
MPAX Supported Devices
Smart Glasses
In the rapidly evolving world of content creation, smart glasses are emerging as a game-changer. Combining innovative technology with practical functionality, these devices are redefining the way creators capture and share their experiences.
Below find 6 reasons why smart glasses and content creation just work.
1. Hands-Free Operation
- One of the most significant advantages of smart glasses is their hands-free operation. Creators can engage in activities, from cooking to rock climbing, while seamlessly recording their experiences. This feature not only enhances the authenticity of the content but also ensures safety and convenience during action-packed moments.
2. First-Person Perspective
- Smart glasses offer a unique first-person viewpoint, providing audiences with an immersive experience. This POV perspective brings viewers closer to the action, offering a personal and engaging view that traditional cameras can’t match. It’s like seeing the world through the creator’s eyes, creating a stronger connection between the creator and the audience.
3. Portability and Ease of Use
- The compact and wearable nature of smart glasses makes them highly portable and easy to use. Unlike bulky camera equipment, smart glasses are unobtrusive and ideal for on-the-go shooting, perfect for vloggers and travel bloggers who are always on the move.
4. Real-Time Sharing and Connectivity
- Many smart glasses models are equipped with features that enable real-time content sharing. This connectivity allows creators to instantly upload their videos and photos to social media platforms, facilitating immediate engagement with their audience.
5. Discreet Recording
- Smart glasses allow for more discreet recording compared to traditional cameras. This feature is particularly useful in situations where a visible camera might be intrusive or distracting, such as in crowded places.
6. Enhanced Engagement
- Smart glasses paired with live streaming foster an interactive environment between the streamer and the viewer enhancing engagement.

Smartphones
Using smartphones instead of regular cameras for content creation has become increasingly common due to several practical reasons.
Portability: Smartphones are more portable than traditional cameras. They are smaller and lighter, making them easier to carry and ideal for impromptu photo and video sessions. In contrast, regular cameras are often bulkier and may require extra gear.
Feature Accessibility: The latest smartphones are equipped with advanced features like portrait mode, various filters, and high-resolution video recording, which were once exclusive to traditional cameras. They also use artificial intelligence to automatically optimize image settings.
Connectivity: Smartphones enable direct sharing of content on social media platforms, offering a quicker and more convenient process compared to transferring files from a regular camera to a computer for sharing.
Camera Quality: The quality of smartphone cameras has significantly improved. Many models now include multiple lenses, gyroscopic stabilization, and high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities, often matching or exceeding the quality of some traditional cameras.
However, using smartphones for content creation, as opposed to smart glasses, presents several disadvantages:
Hands-On Operation: Operating a smartphone typically requires using your hands, which might not always be convenient, especially in action-packed or immersive situations. Smart glasses, on the other hand, allow for hands-free operation, enabling content creators to capture moments without interruption.
Less Immersive Experience: Smartphones, due to their hand-held nature, may not always offer an immersive experience for POV content. Smart glasses enable a more authentic POV capture, as they record from the wearer’s eye level, providing a true first-person perspective.
Engagement with Environment: When using a smartphone, content creators might be less engaged with their environment as they focus on the phone’s screen. Smart glasses allow creators to remain more present and engaged with their surroundings while capturing content.
Discreetness and Privacy Concerns: Smartphones are quite noticeable when recording, which can sometimes lead to privacy concerns or make subjects feel uncomfortable. Smart glasses can be more discreet, but they also raise their own set of privacy issues due to their unobtrusive nature.

In conclusion, MPAX embrace of varied streaming devices such as smart glasses, GoPros, and smartphones demonstrates a keen understanding of the evolving needs of live streaming. Among these, smart glasses stand out as the quintessential tool for next-generation content creation. Their unparalleled hands-free operation, immersive first-person perspective, and real-time sharing capabilities make them uniquely suited for crafting deeply engaging content.
