New Raptor Racing Product: GoPro Hero Cameras

[RaptorRacing]

We've had a few folks ask us for these over the last little while so we decided to contact the manufacturer and set up an account. So far without even seeing the product we're thoroughly impressed by the level of service this company provides without even seeing $1; kudos to them.

If you’ve never seen them before the GoPro comes in a few configurations in both Normal and Wide Formats:
• Hero
• Helmet Hero
• Surf Hero
• Motorsport Hero

Since the majority of individuals on automotive related forums would be interested in the Motorsport Hero here is what GoPro has to say about it:

The Motorsports HERO Wide quick-release attaches to helmets, cars, motorcycles, boats, planes, etc. Features the industry's widest 170º wide angle lens and 5 megapixel sensor for the most immersive point of view video and photos possible from a wearable sports camera, period.

Sets up in seconds and is easily moved between different mount locations. Shoot 56 minutes of high-resolution video and 5 megapixel photos automatically in "Photo every 2 seconds" mode. Use as a hand held camera, too. Shockproof and waterproof to 100 feet/30 meters.

Based on the best selling original Motorsports HERO camera, the Motorsports HERO Wide features improved video, photo, audio, and low light performance. Reliability in ultra-high vibration environments has been improved with an entirely new internal circuit design. Battery life is improved to 3 hours of video record time when using Lithium batteries and 2 hours when using NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Five quick-release adhesive mounts and industrial strength suction cup are included. Suction cup is GoPro-approved for external high speed driving and riding, and is strong enough to pull dents out of a car door (unfortunately tested by GoPro). Adhesive mounts are removable but require purposeful removal by user. Safe on painted surface.

Additional expansion mounts available separately, including roll bar, handlebar/seatpost, chest harness, and surfboard mounts.
