Want
to catch every frame of your next
extreme sports
wipeout in all of its grotesque glory? GoPro knows where you're coming
from, and has updated its line of high definition helmet cams to help
you capture every bone-breaking moment. The HD Hero2 competitively
boasts that it's twice as powerful its 2009 predecessor, the original HD
Hero. The new helmet cam promises to capture 1080p 16:9 footage from
atop your sweaty noggin at both narrow (90-degree), wide (170-degree)
and medium (127-degree) angles, and can snap up to ten 11 megapixel
photos per second. The camera's mini-HDMI port, composite out, USB, SD
card and HERO ports will help you share the spoils of your spills when
your adventure ends - at least until this winter, when GoPro's WiFi
BacPac promises to enable live broadcasting and camera control over
WiFi. Best of all? The Hero2 kills the original HD Hero's confusing
3-digit code
interface in favor of a simple language-based menu.
The HD Hero2 comes in three $300 configurations: outdoor, motorsports, and surf editions, all of which are
compatible with existing
accessories. Too rich for your blood? Then you'll
be happy
to know that the previous models are getting price drops - $200 for
the original HD Hero and a paltry $150 for its "960" variant. Hit the
break for the
official PR and a full list of features.
