GoPro's HD Advantage

Whether you're looking for HD video or just want to snap a 5 megapixel photo for a nice big print, GoPro is a great way to catch all of the action. Already used by professional film and television producers, athletes and demanding enthusiasts, the HD HERO line is a full-blown professional line of wearable cameras, at a price anyone can afford.

The world's first true 1080p HD wearable camera with 30 frames per second recording - Maximum clarity, resolution and realism.
The world's first 960p "full frame" resolution for max field of view (FOV) at 30 frames per second. Certain sports like motorcross, mountain biking, and skiing require the maximum viewing area to really capture your speed and technique.
The world's first 720p wearable camera that can shoot both 30 and 60 frames per second for smooth video that's easy on the eyes.

170° and 127° Wide Angle Shooting from One Lens

Check out GoPro's video shot 100% with the HD HERO2® camera!

Wach our interview with GoPro about their Hero camera at the Henry's Camera Photographic, Video and Digital Imaging Show.

What good is HD video if you don't have a clear view of your knees and skis, your handlbars, or your friends? With the HD Helmet HERO you can record video footage in the industry's widest 170° Surround Video™. If you want a slightly less-wide view to add variety to your video, 1080p is captured at 127° while 960p and 720p are captured at maxi-wide 170° wide angle. No matter with setting you choose, your picture will be super-sharp from edge to edge. And with a 1/2.5-inch 5MP sensor you get industry-leading low-light performance.

HD Sound. Low Wind Noise.

The HD Hero camera features a built-in mono microphone with AGC (automatic gain control). Audio is recorded in 48 kHz with AAC audio compression.

2,4,10,30, 60 - second Auto-Photo Mode

With the HD Hero line of cameras, you can set the timing in Auto-Photo mode to shoot ever 2, 4, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. Once the action starts you can forget about the camera; it will do it's thing while you do yours. The batter wil last for over 2 hours of shooting a photo every 2 seconds.

3-Photo Burst Mode

Shoot 3 photos in two-second burst mode - purposely spaced out to give you sequence-friendly timing.

Self-Timer Mode

Grab your friends and get in the shot with GoPro's Self-Timer Mode.
