GoPro Cameras, Need Sports Action Shots?
GoPro Cameras
Just a little History
gopro surf mount on amazon - A quick reputation GoPro cameras would be that the business founder proceeded a surfing holiday and found that he couldn't have the action shots he wanted with all the cameras available so he returned off of the holiday and set about inventing a brand new sports action camera to complete just this. The business was set up in 2004, now the dog owner is really a billionaire in the money he's got created using these cameras. WOW.
The tiny discussed ability of the cameras is they may be shackled by a vibrating, throbbing, G-force rich environment but still produce clear and precise images and video. They could survive being strapped to an F1 car and being thrown around in excess of 200 miles and hour over and over. Better still now you can drive them below water to some depth of 160 Metres, not a problem.
Camera Evolution
The GoPro cameras have started out from an initial 35mm film version, then switching with a digital 35mm version, followed relatively quickly by increasing Megapixel versions towards the latest top end model that's a 12 Megapixel version.
The Importance of Mounts
The cameras will always be supplied with a selection of accessory mounts that enable the digital camera to be mounted to a surfboard, go underwater, mount on a car or motorbike. These cameras are actually the selection for many with the motorsports for mounting and recording races.
The Current Range will be the HD HERO 3
The HD HERO 3 range will come in three models
The black edition
The Silver Edition
The White Edition
