GoPro HD HERO NAKED SD memory card sports HD camcorder

It's not what you think

If you're not quite sure what you're going to use the HD Hero camcorder for, or if you're just looking for a replacement for your camcorder, this is the bare bones package offered by GoPro for their incredible HD sports camcorder. You'll have a few stickable mounts, the durable camcorder exoskeleton, and the limits of your imagination to work with.

Polycarbonate exoskeleton

The HD Hero camera deserves its name, because like it's namesake, it can take a beating and keep on going. Now, we don't want to give the impression that this camera is Superman tough — it's probably not going to be deflecting bullets (although it will stick with you if you decide to go flying through the air) — it's more Batman tough: it uses a variety of utilities to go where it needs to, and once it's in its armored suit, it can not only take a beating, but go underwater as well. Okay, the analogy breaks down towards the end, but you get the idea. It's a tough camera and when you go for the glory of an amazing feat, it'll be there to record that awesome moment — whether you land on both wheels (or all four, or on your board), or face first.

Professional quality video

Sure, it can take a beating. Sure it's great for attaching to your ride to record every moment of awesome. But the real question is how does the video look? Well, take a look for yourself. This 5MP camcorder records incredible high definition video that rivals higher priced camcorders. Plus, sound capture has been specially designed to reduce or eliminate the sound of wind, so that it only captures the sounds of your sport of choice. Of course, you're not just limited to capturing video, the camcorder can also be used as a 5MP digital camera to capture still photos, with settings to capture pictures either manually, or continually snap pictures at regular intervals. You don't have to limit yourself to just filming amazing feats either; use it for regular filming as well. With video as good as this, the sky is the limit… for now.
