Activeon Giving Away $2,000 a Week, Plus a Tesla, in Video Shooting Contest

Activeon hopes to win attention from the 9 million U.S. households expected to buy an action camera this year with $2,000 prizes awarded in a video contest. The company is giving away $2,000 a week for “outstanding videos” submitted online, and entrants also have a chance to win a Tesla Motors Model S premium electric vehicle, Activeon said. The $119 CX action camera has a 2-inch LCD display and two-hour removable battery. Resolution is 1080p/30 frames per second with a 5-megapixel CMOS video sensor, the company said. The contest is open through Oct. 31 to U.S. residents 13 years or older with a limit of one entry per week. Videos must be recorded on an Activeon camera, the company said.
