GoPro HD Motorsports HERO

GoPro is proud to introduce the HD Hero, a professional wearable HD Camera:
GoPro's HD Motorsports HERO is the world's highest performance 1080p HD on-board video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p, 960p, and 720p HD resolutions record at 30 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). The HD Motorsports HERO easily mounts to any helmet, motorcycle, ATV, car, plane, jet ski, boat, snowmobile or other vehicle. The camera's quick-release mounting design makes it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for professional quality HD video from several angles.

170 and 127 degree wide angle shooting from one lens
What good is HD video if you don't have a clear view of your knees and skis, your handlebars or your friends' heads and legs? Just say no to narrow view video and feel like a hero each time you watch your HD helmet HERO footage in the industry's widest 170 degree Surround Video (TM) Only from GoPro. Looking for a slightly less-wide view to add variety to your video ? 1080p is captured at 127 degrees while 960p and 720p are captured at maxi-wide 170 degree wide angle. Take your pic and let'er rip. In either setting, you can be sure your picture will be uber-sharp from edge to edge. At GoPro, the lens is king, All hail the lens

HD Sound included. Wind, be gone,
We're not just obsessed with HD video, We're also obsessed with sound. We've got more hours in development of our sound recording system than most companies put unto their entire camera. When you hit ludicrous speed and only hear enough wind sound to let you know you're hauling the mail...you'll appreciate our OCD approach to sound.
