GoPro HD Motorsports Hero 1080p Camera

1080p High Definition In Car Camera

Developed for professional use, but at consumer price! The HD HERO line of wearable cameras capture in full HD video rivaling cameras costing 10x the price. The GoPro team consists of some of the 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.

GoPro HD Motorsports HERO is the world’s smallest 1080p HD on-board video camera for motorsports. Professional video quality 1080p, 960p, and 720p HD resolutions record at 30 frames per second or 60 frames per second in 720p mode. The GoPro HD Motorsports HERO easily mounts to any helmet, motorcycle, ATV, car, plane, jet ski, boat, snowmobile or any other vehicle. The camera’s quick-release mount design makes it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for high quality HD video from several angles.

Included with the GoPro HD are mounts for two helmets and three vehicles, as well as a suction cup for maximum versatility and convenience. The housing is waterproof to 180’ / 60m.

Superior Audio. At 85 mph on a motorbike, you’ll enjoy the sound of your motor, not the wind. Inside even the quietest cars, hear the pull of your engine...not the drone of the wind and road.

Rechargeable Battery:

Included is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that will last for up to 2.5 hours of constant filming. With optional accessories, you can also plug the camera into a cigarette lighter or, with any USB power adapter, wire it directly to your vehicle’s 12v electrical system. The battery will charge while you record.
5MP Still Photos:
5 megapixel photos can be taken hands free thanks to an automatic photo mode that takes images at optional 2-, 5-, 10-, 30-, and 60-second intervals. Or set it to single shot, triple rapid-fire shot, or self-timer, for more traditional photo capture.
