The following two types of sensors are available for your TomTom Bandit:

or Bandit Studio and added as an overlay to your video story.

metrics. 
An optional external mono microphone can also be connected to your TomTom Bandit.

Video highlights 
Highlights are added to your video while you are recording. A highlight marks an exciting part of 
your action video, for example high speed, a jump or even a beautiful view that you might like to 
view later and add to your video story. A video can contain many highlights.  
The highlights let you easily playback your video, create your video story and share your video using 
the Mobile app or Bandit Studio. Your highlights are shown separately from the video they are in.
