If you want to capture the excitement of your day’s surfing action, the way to do it is with Go Pro’s HD Surf Hero digital camera. The Go Pro team was at the US Open of Surfing this week demonstrating the company’s line of digital sports cameras that let you film on-board videos and still photos.
Go Pro’s HD Surf Hero camera, which costs $270, is the world’s only 1080p HD on-board surfing camera. It’s so light that professional surfers say that they don’t even notice the camera on their boards. The camera easily mounts to any surfboard in seconds. It provides professional quality image resolution and records from 30-60 frames per second.
Ben DeCamp, a staff photographer for Surfer Magazine, said, “I can see Go Pro completely dominating the POV {point of view} market.” Mark Anders of Surfline.com had this praise for the tiny camera: “I can honestly say it’s one of the coolest, handiest little cameras I’ve ever used.”
When we were at Go Pro’s booth Jessie and Jamie Parker were busy demonstrating what the Surf Hero camera can do and answering questions. We were amazed at the technology and how something this small can do so much. The pictures were so vivid.
Just by pressing the shutter button you can record your entire ride from paddle-out to finish. The Surf Hero’s batteries last for over 2.5 hours of video or automatic photo-taking on a 32GB SD card. So you should be able to save all your surfing moments.
And, when you’re not surfing you can mount the Surf Hero camera on your wrist, helmet, bike, scooter, or jet-ski to take pictures of all your sports activities.
