How long have you been using your Narrative Clip?
Since the beginning of August, 2014

How often do you use your Clip and in what settings?
The only time I don’t use the Clip is around the house or in the office.

Please explain your decision behind getting a Narrative Clip?
I was constantly pulling out my iPhone to take photos and most of the time, the people I’m with get annoyed with me. The Narrative Clip has solved this dilemma.

Describe what is it about the Narrative Clip that you like best?
I love how small and discreet the Narrative Clip is.

How do you wear/use the camera?
I found that wearing it on my sleeve captures the best photos. I wear a lot of dark colored clothes and the gray Narrative blends in nicely.

What’s the most surprising and/or interesting photo you’ve gotten so far?
I was out with my partner one evening and we stopped at a little wine bistro. The lighting was perfect and the Narrative Clip managed to snap a great candid shot of him through a wine glass. Wearing the Narrative Clip on my sleeve captures some great perspectives.

Do you have any stories around how people react to the Clip?
I’ve only been asked a few times about the Clip. One instance I said it was a camera and ended up having to answer a lot of worrisome questions. Now I just say it’s a Bluetooth pedometer and the questions stop.

What is best moment you’ve captured with the Narrative Clip and why?
I recently got a new puppy and she’s constantly on the move. It always seems like when she’s still, I never have a camera around. I was able to capture some greats shots by using the double tap feature on the Clip.

What’s a specific use case for your Narrative Clip that you’re looking forward to trying out?
I can’t wait to use this little Clip on my next vacation. I might just rely on it entirely!

What’s a feature(s) you’d really like to see added to the Narrative service in the future?
I’d like to have the option to set the frequency of captured images. I know the battery will run down sooner, but if you know an important event is coming up, capturing more shots can be a nice trade off. It would also be awesome if you could plug the Clip into an iPhone, select images you want, and erase when the Clip gets full.

Anything else you’d like to add or other Clip photos you’d like to share?
I’ve been following Narrative ever since it was called Memoto years ago. I think the team did a fantastic job their first time out of the gate. I can’t wait to see what future versions will be capable of. Not since the first iPhone have I been this excited about technology.
