GoPro is a company owned by Woodman Labs out of Half Moon Bay, California. The company designs compact wearable, waterproof, and shockproof cameras. Their line of high definition cameras are designed for adventure photography and are easily attached to helmet cameras and many other types of surfaces such as surfboards, bikes, and cars to record video in stunning 1080p high definition. If you have sport activity and wish you could record yourself, GoPro wearable cameras are so small that you won’t even notice them on you.
The main advantages of a GoPro camera is that it enables you to record amazing moments in your life that were previously incapable of recording. Traditional camcorders have always been too big to take on many popular activities like snowboarding, hiking, and surfing, but with the GoPro line of cameras you finally can. With the newest of three cameras being the GoPro HD Hero2, which was released in November 2011, you may be wondering which model to get, and if a less expensive one delivers sufficient results.
The GoPro HD Hero2 Professional is the most advanced high-definition camera, it shoots up to 1080p at 30 frames per second and it retails for around $299.99. The main improvements have consisted of better image quality, photo features, video resolution, and a wider field of view. GoPro has created a lens that is 2x sharper than previous models so that the high-definition recordings are even sharper and more vibrant. The camera is also capable of shooting 11, 8, and 5 megapixel photos. In additional, new modes of taking pictures have been added, included up to 10 photos in one second.
