GoPro True HD Helmet HERO Camera

The GoPro HD HELMET is the world’s highest-performance camera supporting 1080p HD video and photography. Professional-quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions with recording at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 frames per second at 720p). Recording time is up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 total hours on a 32 GB SD card (not included).

In addition to HD video, this digital extreme sports camera also captures 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 or 60 second intervals. Press the shutter button once and it records up to 2.5 hours of poster-quality photos (POV) of the most exciting moments for you and your friends.

 HD HELMET mounting options include:

 1. Head strap mounting – like a headlamp, so you can quickly share it with friends.

2. Mounting plates through which the securing strap passes for attachment to vented helmets.

3. Two curved and two flat adhesive mounts for attaching to equipment, vehicles, or anything else that moves.

HD HELMET is compatible with the mounts and plates of all other GoPro HERO cameras and GoPro accessories, so it is very easy to expand the camera’s functionality - attach it to vehicles with a suction cup, via a handlebar and seatpost clamp, or even wear it on the wrist or chest.

Waterproof to (60m.) sixty meters, shock resistant, and protected from stones and other hazards thanks to its portable polycarbonate housing. Replacement accessories such as housings and lenses and other kits are also available for repair or refitting of all HD HERO cameras.
