Here’s a look at the small and stylish Polaroid CUBE…

GoPro have been fairly dominant in the HD personal camera department for some time now, but one of the world’s most iconic camera brands is finally branching out with a miniature recording device.

Polaroid, best known for their instant cameras (and that one OutKast song), recently unveiled the Polaroid CUBE, which the company says is a “lifestyle action camera—water resistant, shockproof, mountable and built to handle everything you can imagine.”

The Polaroid CUBE comes with 1080p HD video, 6MP photo, 124° wide-angle lens, and built in battery that records up to 90 minutes. Standing at just 35mm, this tiny camera also supports Micro SD up to 32GB and is water resistant up to 2m.

One of the more interesting USPs of the CUBE is the fact that it has a magnet built into the bottom of it, so the CUBE can attach to almost any metal surface, which is sure to come in extremely handy.

The CUBE is set to hit shops later this month and while we’re dying to see the camera in action, we’re even more interested in the Polaroid CUBE’s line up of camera mounts… especially the monkey shaped ‘Monkey Stand’. Why?
