GoPro’s HD Motorsports HERO is the world’s highest performance 1080p
HD on-board video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p, 960p, and
720p HD resolutions record at 30 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). The HD Motorsports
HERO easily mounts to any helmet, motorcycle, ATV, car, plane, jet ski, boat,
snowmobile or other vehicle. The camera’s quick-release mounting design makes
it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for professional quality
HD video from several angles.
Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB
SD card (not included).
Included 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.
GoPro's obsession with sound has conquered the wind. At 85 mph on a motorcycle,
you’ll enjoy the throaty sound of your motor, not the wind. Inside even
the quietest street cars, hear the pull of your motor...not the drone of the
wind and road.
Included is a 1100mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for up to
2.5 hours of constant recording. With optional accessories, you can also plug
the camera into a wall outlet, cigarette lighter, or with any USB-compatible
power adapter, wire it directly to your vehicle’s electrical system. The
battery will charge while you record.
The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals
during your drive or ride, hands free. Press the shutter button once and record
up to 2.5 hours of poster-print quality photos.
Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and protected from rocks and other hazards thanks
to its removable polycarbonate housing. Replacement housings and lens kits are
available, making repairs or refurbishing your HD HERO camera affordable and
convenient. It's a GoPro...go for it.™

Be a HERO...GoPro, in HD.
Developed for professional use, but at a consumer price, the HD HERO line of
wearable cameras capture full HD video rivaling cameras costing 10x the price.
How? Our 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.
Professional Quality, Full HD Video
1080p, 960p, and 720p in 30 and 60 fps (720p). The HD HERO line of cameras
offers three different HD resolutions, giving you three filming modes to capture
the best angles for any given activity:
•1080p: 1920x1080 True HD featuring a 127º angle of view, 30 fps,
and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
•960p: 1280x960 Ultra Wide and Tall HD featuring a 170º angle of view,
30 fps, and 4:3 aspect ratio. See more of the action above and below than widescreen16:9
resolutions can show.
•720p: 1280x720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170º angle of view, both
30 and 60 fps, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
5MP Photos, Automatically
HD HERO cameras can shoot hands-free, 5 megapixel photos automatically at 2
/ 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second intervals until the batteries die or the SD card
is full (2.5 hours). Or set it to single shot, triple shot, or self timer for
more traditional photo taking.
Audio Excellence
We’ve invested more in the HD HERO camera's sound system than most companies
spend on their entire camera development. You’ll only be hearing the sounds
of your sport, not the howl of the wind. How? Obsessive audio engineering and
an understanding that good sound is as important as good video.
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion, Built in Battery Warmer
The rechargeable 1100mAh lithium-ion battery (included) lasts for 2.5 hours
of constant recording. It can be recharged to 80% capacity in just 2 hours when
plugged into a computer’s USB port, or in 1 hour when plugged into a USB
compatible wall or car charger. Camera can also be used while charging...handy
on road trips where it's fun to leave the camera rolling. Camera also features
an integrated battery heating system for keeping your battery warm in winter
activities.
Shockproof, Bombproof, Waterproof to 180’ / 60m
Don’t let a little water, or even a ton of water get in the way of getting
the shot. Proven in heavy surf from Hawaii to Tahiti, Southern Mexico to Northern
California, HD HERO cameras can handle it thanks their highly engineered polycarbonate
exoskeletal housing. Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and tough enough to take
a spin across the asphalt, GoPos are built to take a beating. Replacement lens
kits are also available for $20, so there’s little worry of scratching
the tempered glass lens while going for glory. Trash the housing in a massive
crash? Replacements are available for $40. It’s a GoPro...go for it.
