GoPro Digital Camera Amateur outdoor sports and offroad movie making just made a leap
forward with the GoPro series of digital camera kits that include
the GoPro Helmet Hero Wide, GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide, and the
GoPro Surf HERO. The incredibly
compact, incredibly durable, waterproof camera is the perfect
platform for capturing digital action. The GoPro Hero
Wide is the worlds most compact, un-tethered wire-free outdoor
camera made for a multitude of mounting options such as helmet, gear mounting,
automotive mounting or other motorsports mounting with available
kits. With a variety of
secure and durable mounting options, the GoPro cameras will easily
attach to helmets (vented and non-vented), motorcycles and dirt
bikes, quads, surfboards, kayaks, snowboards, skis, or even the body
itself with a strap designed to wear the camera like a headlamp.
The Wide angle lens offers an action capturing 170º degrees of
viewing angle, the widest lens in the industry. The GoPro
camera is shock proof, meaning that the jarring that often affects
other digital cameras causing disruptions in videoing or
photographing is virtually non-existent with the GoPro camera.
The results are smooth, professional quality video and pictures that
set this camera apart from other cameras and giving you a big bang
for the buck.
At 5 megapixel, the GoPro Digital Camera is able to capture high
quality resolution and shoot 56 minutes of high-res video or capture
5 megapixel photos in a mode that automatically shoots a
"photo every 2 seconds". The camera can also operate as a hand
held. It easily transfers from one mount to another with
quick-release attach mounts and a variety of other mounting options
depending on which kit you require for your application. Plus
GoPro continues to create new mounting systems for better, more
interesting shooting views. The updated HERO Wide camera
systems are an improved version of the original very popular HERO
camera systems with better video, photo, audio and low light
performance over the original. Improvements have also been
made in extremely high vibration conditions thanks to a complete
overhaul of internal circuitry. Improvements in battery
life have also been attained bringing the camera up to 3 hours
of video record time when used with Lithium batteries and 2 hours
using NiMH rechargeable batteries. Works with 2 and 4 GB SD
cards (not included in kits).
