GoPro Cameras, Need Sports Action Shots?
GoPro Cameras
A bit History
GoPro - A quick history of GoPro cameras is that the business founder continued a surfing holiday and discovered he couldn't get the action shots he wanted with the cameras available so he returned from the holiday and hang about inventing a new sports action camera to do just this. The business was set up in 2004, now the dog owner is a billionaire in the money he's made with these cameras. WOW.
The tiny talked about ability of the cameras is that they can be shackled by a vibrating, throbbing, G-force rich environment yet still produce clear and precise images and video. They can survive being strapped to an F1 car and being thrown around at a minimum of 200 miles and hour repeatedly. Even better it's simple to bring them below water to some depth of 160 Metres, no problem.
Camera Evolution
The GoPro cameras have started out a primary 35mm film version, then switching to a digital 35mm version, followed relatively quickly by increasing Megapixel versions to the latest high end model that's a 12 Megapixel version.
The significance of Mounts
The cameras will always be supplied with a variety of accessory mounts that enable the camera to be mounted with a surfboard, go underwater, mount over a car or motorbike. These cameras are now the option for most of the motorsports for mounting and recording races.
The Current Range may be the HD HERO 3
The HD HERO 3 range comes in three models
The black edition
The Silver Edition
The White Edition
