Do You Use a Screwdriver To Put In Nails?

Then why use a regular digital camera to shoot your action sports? The GoPro Hero Wide is a specialized ultra wide angle helmet mount camera made just for action sports. Compact, waterproof, lightweight, wireless and wide angle. The Gopro Helmet Hero Wide is absolutely the right tool for your sports video recording job.

You Need W I D E If You Want To Catch All The Action

Most regular digital cameras only give you a 60 to 75 degree angle of view on the widest angle setting. The Gopro Helmet Hero Wide features a whopping 170º wide angle lens! The industry's widest angle lens and 5 megapixel sensor give you the most immersive point of view video and photos possible from a wearable sports camera, period.

GoPros Beats The Pants Off Regular Cameras In Weather Toughness

All Gopro cameras come with a rugged shockproof and waterproof quick release polycarbonite housing that completely locks out dirt, dust and water so you can be confident about shooting in the same tough environment you play in. The housing is certified waterproof up to 100 feet/30 meters so you can even take it surfing, kayaking or swimming.

Major Improvements Mean Better Videos and Photos

Gopro has updated this latest generation of cameras with noticeable improvements. The 5MP Helmet HERO Wide camera features improved video, photo, audio, and low light performance. Shock resistance reliability in vibration prone environments is better than ever with a brand new circuit design. Battery life is now up to 3 hours video record time with Lithium batteries and 2 hours when using NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Tons Of Mounting Options

The Helmet Hero Wide comes with plenty of helmet mounts included in the package. Headlamp style headstrap, vented helmet strap adhesive mounts and more (see full list below) give you plenty of options to mount on whatever headgear you have. Those aren't your only options though! Gopro makes more mounting options than any other POV camera manufacturer. Want to mount the camera on your chest? 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.

  1. excellent Review by DaveT
    Rating

    We bought two in April 2009 for use on our whitewater rafting trips. Easy to use. Battery life seems OK as we can fill the 2G card before power runs out....and that is with a lot of stop and go filming
    Good, not excellent video. Sound is pretty immediate area only. Can't really hear voices (other than screams :) ) from five feet in front over the crashing boils..... in calm waters, mic picks up more. Download to the computer for 1 hour of video takes at least 30 minutes over the USB.
    All that being sad,,, HUGE thumbs up for this product. Makes lasting memories.
