How we checked
The official Kandao tech-spec page (titled "QooCam 3 Ultra Specifications") confirms this exact model and lists verbatim: CMOS 1/1.7'', Aperture F1.6, 360 video 8K@24/25/30fps, 96MP photos, IP68 Waterproof up to 10 meter depth, 2.19'' touch screen, 128GB internal storage, ~100 minutes max continuous recording, and 336g with battery. The dated TechRadar review (James Abbott) corroborates the same "Dual 96MP 1/1.7-inch sensors", f/1.6, 8K up to 30fps, 336g including battery, 128GB storage and IP68 to 33ft/10m, and supplies the US price ("Costs $599") plus the release ("Launched August 29 2024"). Both pages name the identical "QooCam 3 Ultra" — not the QooCam 3 or any other variant.
