So read on and get to a little more about this newest product on the market.
Size and Weight
Although there are a few lighter and more compact helmet camera designs around, the GoPro HD is still able to give you that same convenience and ease. It is lightweight and is never a pain when worn in the whole day. Its dimension is 1.6' X 2.4" X 1.2" and weighs around 3.3 ounces with batteries.
Top Quality, High Definition Shots
Compared to its older sister model, the GoPro HD Hero now comes with high definition videos. It has a 40 frame per second mode which makes it the perfect gadget to use in extreme sports and can capture clear videos even in high speed movements. Aside from that, the camera has a center weighted mode which allows you to take footages inside the car without revealing the dashboard.
Wide angle lens
The GoPro HD camera has wide angle lens that allow you to make wider shots so you won't even have to move around much to get the whole scene. It has a 170 degree footage that will surely capture every bit of that action.
Variety of mounting options
The angle that your shots are taken is as important as the clarity of video. And this is what GoPro HD Hero offers. The package includes a wide variety of attachments for almost any kind of shot you want to take. There are the adhesive pads that provide good and strong attachments to any smooth and dry surface. The box also comes with top quality suction cups that are great to use on glass and plastic surfaces such as helmets and windshields. And finally, it also has straps that you can use to wear around your chest or around your bicycle handles.
Durability
The camera itself is covered with a rubberized coating and secure buttons for longer lasting use. All the padded protection is made to ensure you that your gadget remains intact and functioning throughout the whole ride. There is also a clear plastic that encases that camera into a water-tight space as it is mounted on to the helmet or any surface.
Ease of use
Compared to the other helmet cameras that have a lot of buttons that you probably do not have any idea what each one exactly does, the GoPRo HD Hero has just two: one for shutter release and another for changing the settings. The camera also has a small LCD screen that guides you on each function and actions that you are taking.
Long Life
The GoPro HD Hero has a 1,100mAh battery pack to assure you that all your adventures are caught on tape from beginning to end.
So if you are planning to buy your very first helmet cam or simply planning to upgrade your old gadget, the GoPro HD Hero is a great choice for both beginners and long time helmet cam users.
