GoPro on their HD Helmet HERO Video/Camera Outfit
GoPro’s HD Helmet HERO is the world’s highest
performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo camera. Professional quality
1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60
fps in 720p). Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total
on a 32GB SD card (not included).
The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at
2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your activity, hands free. Press the
shutter button once at the start of your activity and record up to 2.5 hours of
poster-print quality photos of you and your friends, living it up.
Included are mounts for attaching the camera to
three helmets and two pieces of gear or vehicles, as well as a head strap
allowing you to wear the camera like a headlamp. You can also pull this strap
over helmets for easy camera sharing between friends. One of the above
mentioned helmet mounts is a lace-through strap-mount designed for vented
helmets.
The HD Helmet HERO is compatible with all other
GoPro HERO camera mounting accessories, so it's very easy to expand the
functionality of your camera to also suction cup to vehicles, clamp to bike
handlebars and seat posts, mount to surfboards, and even be worn on the wrist
or chest.
Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and protected from rocks
and other hazards thanks to its removable polycarbonate housing. Replacement
housings and lens kits are available, making repairs or refurbishing your HD
HERO camera affordable and convenient. It's a GoPro...go for it.™

Be a HERO...GoPro, in HD.
Developed for professional use, but at a consumer
price, the HD HERO line of wearable cameras capture full HD video rivaling
cameras costing 10x the price. How? Our team consists of some of the brightest
minds in Silicon Valley who also happen to be obsessed with outdoor sports,
race cars, and all things moto. Athletic super geeks? Indeed.
Professional Quality, Full HD Video
1080p, 960p, and 720p in 30 and 60 fps (720p). The
HD HERO line of cameras offers three different HD resolutions, giving you three
filming modes to capture the best angles for any given activity:
1080p: 1920x1080 True HD featuring a 127º angle of view, 30 fps, and 16:9
widescreen aspect ratio
960p: 1280x960 Ultra Wide and Tall HD featuring a
170º angle of view, 30 fps, and 4:3 aspect ratio. See more of the action above
and below than widescreen16:9 resolutions can show.
720p: 1280x720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170º
angle of view, both 30 and 60 fps, and 16:9
widescreen aspect ratio
5MP Photos, Automatically
HD HERO cameras can shoot hands-free, 5 megapixel
photos automatically at 2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second intervals until the
batteries die or the SD card is full (2.5 hours). Or set it to single shot,
triple shot, or self timer for more traditional photo taking.
Audio Excellence
We’ve invested more in the HD HERO camera's sound
system than most companies spend on their entire camera development. You’ll
only be hearing the sounds of your sport, not the howl of the wind. How?
Obsessive audio engineering and an understanding that good sound is as
important as good video.
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion, Built in Battery Warmer
The rechargeable 1100mAh lithium-ion battery
(included) lasts for 2.5 hours of constant recording. It can be recharged to
80% capacity in just 2 hours when plugged into a computer’s USB port, or in 1
hour when plugged into a USB compatible wall or car charger. Camera can also be
used while charging...handy on road trips where it's fun to leave the camera
rolling. Camera also features an integrated battery heating system for keeping
your battery warm in winter activities.
Shockproof, Bombproof, Waterproof to 180’ / 60m
Don’t let a little water, or even a ton of water
get in the way of getting the shot. Proven in heavy surf from Hawaii to Tahiti,
Southern Mexico to Northern California, HD HERO cameras can handle it thanks
their highly engineered polycarbonate exoskeletal housing. Waterproof to 180’ /
60m and tough enough to take a spin across the asphalt, GoPros are built to
take a beating. Replacement lens kits are also available for $20, so there’s
little worry of scratching the tempered glass lens while going for glory. Trash
the housing in a massive crash? Replacements are available for $40. It’s a
GoPro...go for it.
