GoPro’s HD Helmet HERO is the world’s highest performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo helmet camera. Professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included).

The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your activity, hands free. Press the shutter button once at the start of your activity and record up to 2.5 hours of poster-print quality photos of you and your friends, living it up.

Included are mounts for attaching the camera to three helmets and two pieces of gear or vehicles, as well as a head strap. You can also pull this strap over helmets for easy camera sharing between friends. One of the above mentioned helmet mounts is a lace-through strap-mount designed for vented helmets.

The GoPro HD Helmet HERO is compatible with all other GoPro HERO camera mounting accessories, so it’s very easy to expand the functionality of your camera to also suction cup to vehicles, clamp to bike handlebars and seat posts, mount to surfboards, and even be worn on the wrist or chest.

Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and protected from rocks and other hazards thanks to its removable polycarbonate housing. Replacement housings and lens kits are available, making repairs or
refurbishing your HD HERO camera affordable and convenient.

GoPro have invested more money and time into the sound system on this camera than most companies spend on their entire camera development. From hiring the best sound engineers in the industry to endless testing with a GT40 race car purchased specifically for sound development, GoPro's obsession with sound ensures that your GoPro videos will sound as good as they look. No more wind noise, no more muted voices...no more sound settings to fiddle with. Press the shutter and know that your video will sound just like it did while you were enjoying the real thing.

Mounts are also  included for attaching the camera to three separate helmets and two vehicles or pieces of gear, as well as a head strap so that you can wear the camera like a miner's headlamp.
You can also pull this strap over any other helmets for easy sharing between friends. One of the helmet mounts is designed for vented cycle helmets.
