GoPro HD Hero 2 Outdoor

Great little camera with a super fine picture. Compact and lite. If your an adventure type of person this is a must..

I have been using the original GoPro HD Hero and recently purchased the GoPro HD Hero 2. Picture quality has improved, especially in low light.
Would be even better if they would finally release the Wi-Fi BacPac remote which has been delayed several times/months.

I highly recommend this Camera and all of its functions. I strapped the GoPro to my Remote Control Car which travels at 110km, some great video was taken!

my son has used the camera on his helmet and has made some good clips of his Mountain Bike escapades. it is easy to use and takes good clips.

i think that the go pro is a great camera, i have been using it for motorbike riding, skating, and everything else i can use it with and it has been of great use and is very easy to use. it is very good quality and great fun to watch back. it was good getting a good price from Teds and was well worth the money.

Having used the GoPro HD quite extensively for a range of applications including surfing and snowboarding, i was quick to snap up the new model and it doesn't disappoint. Same small size makes it easy to mount in difficult places like on a helmet or handlebars giving a very good point-of-view perspective. The quality of the videos is noticeably sharper than the previous edition, and an obvious increase in the clarity of the photos. When viewed in small size on say youtube it is very difficult to distinguish between videos taken on this camera and my Canon 7d when shot in good lighting conditions.

The main reason i bought this camera was for POV work, on a helmet for surfing videos for instance, but have found the photos quite acceptable for capturing the moment.

It is a very powerful camera for the price, and there are very few others on the market that offer the same package and quality for this price

So many features and uses for such a little camera. I use for time-lapse photos of work construction projects, and on Xmas day took HD video of the family playing cricket with it in various position and also with people wearing it with the head strap! And my brother has asked to use it for his mountain bike rides....

Love the GoPro but definitely not a main camera. Will most likely see myself buying a compact digital camera in the future however I don't regret this buy at all and am in love with it's usability, mobility, durability and more importantly quality! Make sure you are prepared to add at least $100 for the necessary extras (especially the right SDHC card!)
Make sure you look into the right kinds of SD cards as not all work with this camera!
Cheers

The HD Hero 2 is GoPro's latest wearable and gear-mountable camera. The Hero 2 builds on the popular HD Hero with ultra-wide 170 degree video at 1080p, higher resolution stills, faster timelapse and burst shooting at 10fps.

The HD Hero 2 shares the same dimensions as the earlier HD Hero, which allows it to share the same mountings and accessories, which in turn means you can attach the camera to almost anything. I use it for scuba diving (seal it in its supplied housing and it's also waterproof down to 60m) but you can use it for mountain biking, kayaking, snowsports, skydiving, automotive or virtually any other activity, the HD Hero 2 can capture ultra-wide angle stills and HD video of your favourite sport.

The headline upgrade is the ability to capture Full HD 1080p video with ultra-wide 170 degree coverage, whereas the earlier HD Hero could only achieve this at 720p (16:9) or 960p (4:3). If you're into slow motion, a new 120fps mode at 848x480 will slow the action by four times. The still photo resolution has been boosted from 5 to 11 Megapixels and you can now take a burst of ten shots in one second.

All in all a very good camera for a range of outdoor sports! Recommended.

possible the best sports action camera going around. i use this for downhill long boarding and even at high speeds there is absolutely no lagging what so ever absolutely brilliant
