RefCam®

The Riedel RefCam was developed in close cooperation with Bundesliga referees to ensure its design fully meets referees‘ needs and concerns.

 

The goal is provide a previously unseen perspective from the referee, in a way that doesn’t interfere with the referee or the game.

 

Riedel has been continuously developing RefCam with extensive testing to ensure reliability, optimise the quality of the picture and user experience.

 

So far, RefCam has proven its worth on on football pitches, in fighting rings, on ski slopes and beyond.

The Referees' Point-of-View

Aligned with Wearer’s Line of Sight

RefCam’s position is aligned with the wearers line of sight. It is mounted to the center of the ear with a quality and customised earmold that provides stability and comfort.

 

Ultra-Lightweight Design for Comfort

The camera weight has been optimised to be as light as possible (14gr), so it is barely noticeable to the wearer.

 

Electronic Image Stabilisation for Smooth Footage

With Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS), the video produced by RefCam is steady and pulls the viewer into the action seamlessly.

 

Wide-Angle Lens for Dynamic Perspectives

The RefCam has a Wide-Angle Lens, that fits well for close interactions as well as perspectives at a distance.

 

Versatile Beltpack for Easy Wearability

The RefCam comes with an attached beltpack that can be placed in a pocket of a specialised referee shirt, worn on an armband or clipped to a belt accordingly.
