They have to buy many different types of equipment, such as an external microphone, camera handle, and video light, to improve the performance and usability. The camera would lose portability after installing extra equipment.
First, I researched the existing products on market and then did user research to find out the pain points of using the current product. Pain points to help me develop the design insights. Based on the insights to do ideation sketch. Find out the possible design solution and build the 3D model. Made a prototype to test the size and basic function.
