If you are reading this, you are likely one of the frustrated owners of a TomTom Bandit action camera. When TomTom exited the action camera market, they left behind a piece of hardware that was, objectively, revolutionary. The modular design, the GPS logging, the vibration-proof mounting, and the "Burst" sensor were ahead of their time. However, the Achilles' heel of the Bandit was always its software.
