GoPro Motorsports Cameras, An Extreme Sports Lovers Dream Camera.

By John Arnold


The Gopro Motorports HD HERO2 is designed for capturing the thrill of autosports, motorcyclists, and other power sport activities. Improvements in camera technology have opened the way for lightweight, tough, small body designs that can take the abuse of extreme sports. Previously, cameras were far to bulky and heavy to mount on vehicles, helmets and such.

Gopro Motorsports Mounting Capability Not only are Gopro motorsports cameras rugged they come with multiple mounting devices that allow them to be mounted on nearly any surface you can imagine. These sports cameras can be readily mounted on the dash or exterior of vehicles to catch either a point of view perspective or photograph the driver. With multiple mounts the camera can quickly and easily be moved to either location. The HERO2 can also be mounted on a user's body, helmet, motorcycle, ATV, jetski, snowmobile, boat or other equipment. Gone are the days of users affixing cameras to their vehicles or bodies with a puzzling array of duct tape and rubber bands.

Video and Sound Quality. The Gopro motorsport camera gets high praises for the exceptional quality of its video. The professional grade full HD 1080p video has been used to capture action for television broadcasts, movies and even Nascar racing. Users can select from multiple video modes depending upon what there needs are. They have the following options: True HD Professional Grade Video (1080p), Maximum Wide Angle (960p), and Slow motion cinema (720p) 30 to 60 frames per second.

The audio quality of Gopro sports cameras is also very good. The cameras high audio quality is achieved via an automatic gain control. This feature automatically makes adjustments to compensate for wind noise that is common and unpredictable in motorsports. User can let the camera do the work and not worry about making constant adjustments. The HERO2 does it for you.

Users also love the "automatic photo-take mode" for capturing repeated still shots. When you press the shutter button a single time in auto mode the camera begins taking pictures at predefined intervals of 2, 5,10, 30, or 60 seconds. This option allows users hands free operation of the camera to capture every moment of an activity without worrying about the camera.

Design Features In terms of design, Gopro motorsports cameras have a polycarbonate housing that readily protects it from harsh elements and the tough abuse common to extreme sports. It's waterproof down to 60 meters underwater and the lithium icon battery pack, which lasts for 2.5 hours, has an integrated battery warmer to keep the battery warm when filming in cold conditions. The battery can be charged via any USB port or any USB compatible wall or auto charger. Drivers can actually charge it as it is being used in their vehicles.

Gopro has been the number 1 manufacturer of wearable sports cameras for some time. They have been featured in the magazines, Backpacker Magazine, Motorcyclist Magazine and Popular Mechanics. With increasing interest in extreme sports Gopro motorsports cameras are only likely to grow in popularity.
