Shimano’s action cameras have a major update for 2017, with two new models that promise a number of interesting features, including auto-recording. The cameras are the flagship Shimano CM-2000 action camera, and the Shimano CM-1100.

Auto-recording in the big ring
Both models get auto-recording for capturing the most exciting bits of your ride. The Shimano CM-2000 and CM-1100 action cameras can auto-record via ANT+, working with your bike computer and sensors like a power meter, heart rate strap, cadence sensor or speed sensor to detect when you’re moving quickly or working hard. For Di2 users, it’ll even auto-record when you’re in a specified gear range.

The top-end CM-2000 model can also be activated via smartphone GPS (hooked up via Bluetooth), for those times when you’re riding without a bike computer but still want it to auto-record when you’re speeding downhill. Impressively, the thresholds for when the camera starts to auto-record can be configured manually so, for example, you can tell it to only record when your heart rate goes above 150 beats per minute, or when you’re going above 30kph.
Shimano says there are a number of benefits to auto-record: you can focus on riding without worrying about hitting record; you’ll save battery life and memory space; there’s less editing required; and it’s simple to use, even if the camera is mounted in a place that’s difficult to access.
