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. 
Each single highlight marks a 6 second length of video. 
The highlights are added to your video using inputs from built-in sensors, external sensors, or 
manually, to highlight the most exciting parts of the action. The highlights from built-in and 
external sensors are added automatically. 
Tip: You can also add highlights to your video when you view it in the Mobile app or Bandit 
Studio, and you can adjust the position and duration of a highlight. 
The following highlights and their symbols are used: 
  
 
Speed.
