Product Description
GoPro's HD Helmet HERO is the world's highest performance wearable 1080p HD camera. Professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). You can record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card. We have one of these here which we wear it when testing skis, and can't believe the clarity it gives, and how very easy it is to use. Maybe not 'essential' but certainly something that will add a new dimension to your time on the mountain, and ideal for the skiing or boarding family who have everything. Stunning image quality which is why it is used by the likes of BBC's Top Gear. Comes complete with helmet mountings in a variety of styles to suit most helmets. Brackets for kites, boards and cars also available. Our Opinion We own them and use them here, the quality of the pictures is stunning and it is compact enough for most sports including power kiting!

I've had this for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed. On first inspection the camera itself looks like a toy; it's small, cubic, and not particularly sexy - though it's clearly well constructed. The accessories are high quality, especially the robust, waterproof (to 60m) housing and it starts to look the part once it's been fully assembled. I use it for kayaking and swimming (I mount it in various places in an 'Endless Pool'), there are various ways to mount it but I find the industrial strength suction cup to be the most versatile.
The quality of the video is outstanding, it offers various resolutions up to 1080p, I've been using it on 960p as it offers a wider angle of view on this setting then the 1080p - and the results are superb.
I chose this camera after researching the alternatives - I like the look of the Contour, but it's not waterproof (eseential for me) and the quality of video does not look to be as good as GoPro - though I think it beats it on asthetics.
All in all - a brilliant camera, great selection of quality accessories, well made and seems to be the choice of the professionals.

I use mine for skiing. It's very stable even when using the straps that go around the helmet. The wide angle gives a professional feel to the videos and the photos come out pretty good. I've filmed slalom runs with it, and the video was awesome,( unlike my skiing). Would definitely recommend.
The only downside, and it is the only one, is that there is no view for pictures, so taking them can be a litte tricky.
Next time you watch top gear, nitro circus or any other helmet cam videos being made on TV you'll see that even the pro's use this camera

It comes with many stickers for many helmets. I ve been up to 230km/h and still felt confident about it.
Its HD. However I mostly used the fish eye version because its nicer to look at and easier to edit. (You will have a hard time editing full hd videos, this has nothing to do with gopro).
Its the only really waterproof camera.
Easy to learn, takes amazing pictures. My brother stole mine so here I am, buying a second one.
Just log on to youtube and type GoPro. There is nothing else you need to know about this camera. Its perfect.
The only bad thing that comes up about this camera, is that when you look at your shadow (while racing), with the camera on top you feel like a teletubby.
Make sure to choose a compatible sd card. Class 6 and above works.

I love it!
Awesome!!
The item is wonderful.. Definition is good enough to register videos where you want.
Only the audio is poor, but is not so much important in some case.

Maybe would have scored higher had it worked!
Caused lots of grief as camera would not work when purchased as a present for an adventure holiday. Factory fault was the best we were told & had to return it.

Very Easy to use Smart Camera
this camera is by far the best head cam camera I have ever brought. I brought it for my son because he's going on a skiing trip and he finds it quite easy to use after I shown him. Read more

Very Tough Cookie!
