GoPro HD Helmet HERO Camera Overviews

GoPro’s HD Helmet HERO is the world’s highest performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo 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 allowing you to wear the camera like a headlamp. 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 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.

GoPro HD Helmet HERO Camera CustomerReview

I’ve used the HD Hero quite a few times now, and as the other reviews said, it does a very nice job. It’s nice and compact, seems to be quite tough, and takes really nice hands-free POV stills and video. There are a few things I’ve had to look out for, however. One is that with the wide angle lens and no way to see what the camera is seeing, it’s very common to get “warped” shots – ones where the horizon bends drastically up or down. It’s the nature of the lens, of course, but something to look out for. If you can get it pointed properly the shots come out very nicely. The screen for settings is also barely usable. It’s simple enough to use, but difficult to see. With the case on the buttons don’t feel very positive, so once in a while I find that I didn’t actually start the camera rolling. As a result just about every clip I take starts and ends with me looking at the camera to make sure it’s on or off. Not a huge deal, but shouldn’t be necessary either.

The other issues are ones that I think can easily be fixed by GoPro. First, the battery on mine is far more difficult to remove than any other camera I’ve had. It seems to be partly due to the slick coating on the battery label, and partly due to the way the battery snaps in. It’s not a big deal when you’re in the house, but out in the field changing a battery can be a challenge. Similarly, the memory card is a bit tougher to get out than on any of my other cameras. Again, not a problem in the house, but more tricky than it should be when you’re trying to quickly swap cards so you can keep shooting. The gizmos that connect the camera to your helmet (I also got a bike clamp) are all plastic, and would benefit by a more rubberized surface or something. It seems like it would be very easy to over tighten the clamps (trying to get the whole setup to hold still) and break the plastic. I have a few ideas to work around that, but haven’t had a chance to try them out yet.

Image quality is better than I expected for both video and stills. I saw the online samples, which are good, but the real deal is even better. Overall this camera is great fun to use, and since it fits in my pocket I find myself taking it with me often. If you want a camera that you won’t have to worry about knocking around and getting wet, this is a great choice.
