GoPro HD Helment Hero Review
The GoPro HD Helmet Hero is one of the best waterproof video cameras on the market today. If you are into adventure sports and outdoor activities, this waterproof helmet video camera would be the perfect choice for you. The GoPro HD hero has all of the a basic functions and features that you would expect from a top-of-the-line video camera. This waterproof video camera will allow you to do your sport in comfort without having to worry about the quality of the video or the condition of the camera.
The GoPro HD Helmet Hero allows a user to the video with professional grade full HD video up to 1080 P. This 1080 P. resolution can be set by entering in the menu on the backside of the camera. In fairness to the user, the back video menu for this camera is a little bit awkward and does require a redesign in my humble opinion. So, after the user sets of 1080 P. resolution, you can film at a 127° angle for up to 2 1/2 hours if you have a 32 gig number card. Anything less than that for 32 gig memory card, will shorten your potential recording time.
In addition to the 1080 P. video resolution and capabilities, this camera can also do still shots. You can set this camera up to do consistent and constant still shut taking while you’re doing your scheme or snowboarding. The still shots or of the highest resolution. Personally, I think it would be great to deal with such are camera and take consistent shots while you’re doing the jump or launching air.One of the nice features about this camera is also the 170° angle video capturing capabilities. This wide-angle lens allows you to film just about everything in your periphery. Of course as mentioned above, if your film and at 1080 P. your wide-angle viewing will decrease down to approximately 127°.
This camera also comes with the mounts for attaching the camera to virtually any helmet so you don’t have to worry about figuring out how you can attach it. The six mounts that come with this camera should allow you to connect to just about any helmet that you have. The other item that comes with this camera is a rechargeable lithium ion battery which will last for approximately 2.5 hours of consistent recording.
Some of the downsides to this camera hard that the menu items are hard to read. If you look at the back of the camera where you set your video or camera settings, the screen is a little archaic and kind of hard to read the options. Also, I haven’t noticed this but some users have complained that the sound quality was weak or difficult to distinguish the sounds that she wanted to record from the environmental sounds. Interesting to note, GoPro mentions that they worked diligently on creating the best sound quality video camera possible so you will just have to find out for yourself on this one but note that it could be an issue for you.
So in summary the GoPro HD helmet hero is one of the best outdoor waterproof video cameras available. Its versatility, functionality, and relatively inexpensive price make it the perfect option for anyone doing mountain biking, snow skiing or just about any other outdoor activity that they wish to record. The GoPro HD helmet hero allows the user to also go underwater and video up to approximately 180 feet deep. But it’s probably best not to test this function and stay at a depth less than 120 feet deep. This camera has my Highest Recommendation
