If you are an athlete or a sports enthusiast, then certainly at some point in your life there were moments when your performance was perfect. You may have surfed the perfect wave, did perfect jumps on your bike or skateboard, or you may have finished first in the race. But because you or your friends did not have a camera to capture that specific moment, you could not relive it except in your memories – and everyone knows that memories can only last so long in your head. If someone did think to bring a camera to the event, it would most likely be fragile or not waterproof. Furthermore, the footage will usually be a long way away and you may not even recognize yourself if you played the video back.
In this age of digital compact cameras, technology has come so far that there are now many camera models out there that are waterproof and shockproof. These camera models are excellent for those who have butterfingers and drop their cameras a lot. If you also travel often, these cameras are also good for taking to beach or camping holidays and you needn’t worry about damaging it when they get splashed with water.
However, if you are into extreme sports these cameras will still not make the grade as they were only designed to be sturdier than normal compact cameras. You will need a specific camera to relive the action in your sessions.
The GoPro HD Surf Hero and HD Motorsports Hero can do the job perfectly and more. These are the world’s only HD video and still cameras that you can take on to surf, motocross or car races with you. They are specifically designed for sporting use. These cameras are more or less the same, but with added features depending on the sport you intend to use them for. (more…)
