Introducing the NEW 5 megapixel GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Motorsports and racing camera. Sporting a new 5MP sensor, improved low light performance, faster "Photo every 2 seconds" mode, and mega-wide 170 degree lens... this is the highest performance HERO camera yet.

A Camera Built By Racing Enthusiasts: GoPro Motorsport Hero

Gopro cameras were originally invented by racing gearheads in California for shooting their own videos. No wonder the GoPro Motorsports Wide has the features you want in a car mounted video camera. Gopro Motorsport is small, lightweight, wireless and ultra wide angle.

Record All The Road Action With An Ultra Wide Angle Lens

Gopro Motorsport's ultra wide angle lens lets you capture more of the scenery for that immersive effect that's especially effective when shooting high speed action. Gopro motorsport gives you the kind of shots you see on tv racing shows.

Most regular digital cameras only give you a 60 to 75 degree angle of view on the widest angle setting. The Gopro Motorsports Hero Wide has the industry's widest angle lens at an astounding 170º wide angle!

Way Tougher Than A Regular Digital Camera

You would never consider mounting a regular digital camera on your car bumper or hood! They are way too fragile for that. The vibrations and rough weather elements would kill it.

The Gopro motorsports on the other hand are built especially for fast action road recording. The new Gopro Motorsports Hero 5mp has been upgraded with even better reliability in ultra-high vibration environments with an entirely new internal circuit design.

Just being shock proof isn't enough when you're driving and recording in the rain. That's why the Gopro motosport hero comes with a tough, waterproof, clear polycarbonite shell that completely locks out dirt, dust and water so you never have to worry about damaging your camera when recording in dirty, muddy or rainy road conditions.

Plenty Of Mounting Options To Fit Any Car or Motor Vehicle

Gopro Motorsport Hero comes with 5 quick-release adhesive mounts and a quick release industrial strength suction cup to accomodate numerous mounting needs.

The suction cup is GoPro-approved, specially designed for external high speed driving. The cup is even strong enough to pull a dent from a car door! Adhesive mounts are removable but require purposeful removal by user. All are safe on painted surface.

Those aren't your only options for the Gopro Motorsports hero though! Gopro makes more mounting options than any other POV camera manufacturer. You can use your Gopro Motosports cam for other sports with optional mounts. 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.

Tiny Camera. Big Features. Easy To Use.

The Gopro motorsport is so small it literally fits in the palm of your hand. Only 1.25" x 1.75" x2.3", you can toss this in your pocket when not using the mounts.

The Gopro Motosports Hero contains a 5MP sensor that can shoot up to a whopping 3,980 photos with the included 4GB SD card. You can get up to 112 minutes of video with audio. Exposure is automatic. All you need to do is make a few simple settings, mount the camera and drive! Expandable up to 8GB with optional Firmware Upgrade. Free and Available Now! The special "photo every 2 seconds" mode gives great stop motion effects.
