Features:

Now You Can Shoot Hands Free Action Videos Right From Your Helmet

Why use a regular digital camera to shoot your action sports? The GoPro Helmet Hero Wide is a custom ultra wide angle helmet mount camera. Made specifically for cyclists, bikers, kayakers and other sports enthusiasts who love shooting action from their point of view, the gopro helmet hero wide is perfect for those who need both hands on their equipment.

Compact, waterproof, lightweight, wireless and wide angle, the Gopro Helmet Hero Wide is exactly what you need for your next sports video recording.

You Need Ultra Wide Angle For Sports Recording

A wide angle is required to capture as much of the surrounding as possible. Most regular digital cameras only give you a 60 to 75 degree angle of view on the widest angle. The Gopro Helmet Hero Wide features a whopping 170º wide angle lens! The GoPro helmet cam gives you that "right in the action" immersive look of the best point of view videos.

Tiny Camera, 5MP Photos, Easy To Use

The miniature Gopro helmet camera can shoot up to a whopping 3,890 photos on it's 5MP sensor with the included 4GB SD card. You can get up to 112 minutes of video with audio. Exposure is automatic. Free Firmware Upgrade will allow you to shoot double that with an 8GB SDHC card. The special "photo every 2 seconds" mode gives you great stop motion effects.

Built To Handle The Toughest Weather You Play In

You would never take a regular digital camera to shoot in the rain, mud or go kayaking with it. The Gopro helmet cam on the other hand can take the rough weather with ease. You never have to worry about the weather stopping you from filming ever again. You are free to shoot any time anywhere.

All Gopro cameras come with a rugged shockproof, waterproof quick release polycarbonite housing that blocks out dirt, dust and water so you can be confident about shooting in any environment. The housing is certified waterproof up to 100 feet/30 meters so you can ride in the rain, sleet, snow, any kind of weather.

2009 Improvements Mean Better Videos and Photos

The latest generation of Gopros have been beefed up from the last iteration. The 5MP Helmet HERO Wide camera features improved video, photo, audio, and low light performance. A new circuit makes the gopro's design even more shockproof. Battery life gets bumped to 3 hours video recording with Lithium batteries and 2 hours when using NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Plenty Of Options To Fit Whatever Gear You Own

The Helmet Hero Wide comes with many helmet mounts included in the package. Headlamp style headstrap, vented helmet strap adhesive mounts and more (see full list below) give you plenty of options to mount on whatever headgear you have. Those aren't your only options though! Gopro makes more mounting options than any other POV camera manufacturer.

Want to mount the camera on your chest? Gopro has a chest mount. Handlebar mounts, roll bar mounts, seat post and surf mounts and extra straps give you infinite possibilities for your mounting convenience.

Great Combination of Value and Features

The GoPro Helmet Hero Wide is small, lightweight, waterproof, wireless and easily mounts to helmets or other sports gear. It's one of the best deals for a helmet camera around!

  1. Very Impressed Review by Jeff

    I ordered this on a Tuesday night and this Camera was waiting for me at home on Thursday. I took it for a spin into town mounted on the inside of my windshield of my car. It worked great. Can't wait to take it on my next Quad trip or even snorkling in Hawaii this year. Thanks Gopro for an excellant product.

  2. excellent Review by DaveT

    We bought two in April 2009 for use on our whitewater rafting trips. Easy to use. Battery life seems OK as we can fill the 2G card before power runs out....and that is with a lot of stop and go filming
    Good, not excellent video. Sound is pretty immediate area only. Can't really hear voices (other than screams :) ) from five feet in front over the crashing boils..... in calm waters, mic picks up more. Download to the computer for 1 hour of video takes at least 30 minutes over the USB.
    All that being sad,,, HUGE thumbs up for this product. Makes lasting memories.
