So record those heroic moments and even your most epic bails in the sharpest, professional quality available, only with the HD Helmet HERO.

With the largest field of view of any wearable camera on the market, the HD Helmet HERO covers the entire scene with 'full frame' recording at 30 frames per second in the 1280x960p setting. The full frame field of view is essential for recording action sports like motocross, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding, where maximum field of view is crucial for capturing speed and technique. Not to mention, the chance of you cutting off your friends heads, legs, the handles bar, skis… is drastically reduced… Recording in such fluid reality, the HD Helmet HERO provides video that pulls you in, making you feel like you're hitting every bump, curve and jump…without leaving your house.

In addition to these mind blowing capabilities, the HD HERO also has a 720p setting. Capturing smooth, buttery footage at 30fps, the Helmet HERO also provides unbelievably flawless, jaw dropping slow motion video when shooting at 60fps. Catch all your out of this world moments forever and show all your friends what they are missing - with the GoPro HD Helmet HERO.

With a Maximum Field of View, You'll Never cut out any of the Action

If you could only take in a portion of the scene, what would be the point in recording in HD format? GoPro agrees, and to prove it, they've equipped the HD Helmet Hero with a wild 170° angle of view. Take in the whole scene without cutting off your skis, knees or handlebars… Get the best of both worlds with GoPro's HD Helmet Hero and just say NO to a narrow field of view with the industry's widest 170° Surround Video™ when shooting in 960p or 720p. With the HD Helmet Hero, that sense of heroism will come rushing back, every time you click play.

In 1080p mode, the HD Helmet Hero records at a slightly less wide angle of 127°. So shake up your montage by introducing a narrower angle, while still taking in a vast majority of the scene. No matter what setting you choose to record in, your sickest rides are captured in the stunning quality you can only get from GoPro.

With High Definition Sound Included, say Goodbye to Unwanted Wind Noise

GoPro has invested more time developing their sound recording system, than most companies have put into their entire camera. The HD Helmet Hero assists in filtering out unwanted wind and background noise, without eliminating it completely, which allows viewers to experience the reality of the recording. The speed, rush and energy are enhanced by the audio as opposed to being drowned out by it. So amplify your crazy footage with GoPro's dedicated, professional approach to sound.

I have used the camera on a kayak, bike, in an airplane and powerboat. It has operated without any problems in all these circumstances where it has got wet and bounced around a lot. The video quality is very good, just be careful with the angle of light as the wide view can result in lens flare. Overall, strongly recommended. (Posted on 10-06-30)
Wow! Review by Bozzy

Got mine for a trip to Colorado to go skiing. Have now 4 days on four separate mountains, best gadget I have ever bought. No complaints at all, no viewfinder? who cares, you point in the general direction and the wide angle lens picks up.
Battery? I got an extra with my megapack, 2.5 hours filming no problem with space on the 16GB card it came with, thing rocks!! litterally just freaking rocks!!

If you are ever stopped at the side of the ski run with cold hands filming your buddies by one.

if you are always saying ah crap that was awesome wish we had filmed it.. buy one.

Litterally just buy one. Also youtube: pickadolla007 watch what hes done with his camera, mounting the camera on a stick and film yourself and your buddies, bloody brilliant, works way better than you could ever imagine and you need approx 3' of stick to mount the thing on to get yourself in frame with your board and the run.

WICKED TOY!!! buy one now!
