GoPro HD Hero

I don't know how many of you remember handheld video cameras from the late 80's/early 90's, but all I know is that they were huge hunking pieces of equipment.  They weren't exactly affordable either.  I'm sure there were some video recording related shoulder injuries or back problems due to those beasts too.  I mean, just look at this thing:

But fear not my fellow sports and technology and media and entertainment and YouTube enthusiasts.  These shoulder tanks are a thing of the past... well, in terms of personal media that is.

Within the recent years, a little piece of technological marvel called the GoPro HD Hero has been blowing up in popularity.  Maybe "blowing up" isn't the best word choice.  Fear not my friends, the GoPro HD Hero is an absolutely bomb-proof video camera.  The casing that it comes with is both water-proof and highly durable.  For my fellow snowboarders/skiers, just take a look around the mountain.  You'll probably see a ton of riders with these cameras mounted atop their helmets.

The type of GoPro HD Hero mount that I prefer is by way of a pole.  Pole mounted GoPro HD Hero video cameras capture some unique and fun footage.  You can do a 360 degree rotation around yourself with a pole mount.  It also makes for some awesome chase footage and actually makes it safer for the cameraman.  Instead of having to personally ride close to the filmee while they shred, the cameraman can just extend the pole to capture the up close footage.

The GoPro HD Hero isn't just limited to snow sports.  Enthusiasts from all walks of sports can utilize this gadget.  I'm also seeing more and more wakeboarders and surfers use them as well.  Needless to say, it's pretty awesome to see footage from those who have it mounted on their boards.

The GoPro HD Hero, obviously by its namesake, features HD recording capabilities.  And yes, it does record in glorious 1080p for 2.5 hours!  The HD Hero can also take still pictures in 5mp.  All of this comes in a 10ounce package with a light price to match.  Folks, you're looking at a very high quality 1080p HD video camera that costs less than $300!  DId I mention that it's waterproof and highly durable?

So what are you waiting for?  Pick yours up, mount it wherever you see fit, and go shred, ski, surf, peddle, paddle, waddle, etc.. all while capturing every exhilarating moment with the GoPro HD Hero video camera.
