GoPro Motorsports Sports Cameras, Perfect For Photographing Extreme Sports.

By John Arnold


The Gopro Motorports HD HERO2 is designed for capturing the thrill of autosports, motorcyclists, and other power sport activities. Improvements in camera technology have opened the way for lightweight, tough, small body designs that can take the abuse of extreme sports. Previously, cameras were far to bulky and heavy to mount on vehicles, helmets and such.

Gopro motorsports mounting accessories. Gopro motorsports cameras come with a host of mounting option. You can mount a Gopro on nearly anything including jetskis, ATVs, helmets, snowmobiles, mountain bike handlebars, cars, or even you. Mounts can be place on both the exterior and interior of cars, so that a user can rapidly remount the camera to capture different perspectives. It wasn't uncommon in years past to see a poorly mounted camera fly off at a corner during a race. User tried everything from duct tapes to rubber bands to mount cameras. With the Gopro mounting accessories those day area thankfully gone.

Video and Sound Quality. The Gopro motorsport camera gets high praises for the exceptional quality of its video. The professional grade full HD 1080p video has been used to capture action for television broadcasts, movies and even Nascar racing. Users can select from multiple video modes depending upon what there needs are. They have the following options: True HD Professional Grade Video (1080p), Maximum Wide Angle (960p), and Slow motion cinema (720p) 30 to 60 frames per second.

Gopro sports cameras have excellent audio quality as well. They achieve exceptional sound quality through an automatic gain control. This control prompts the camera to adjust rapidly to wind noise that occurs at high speed and is common to motorsports activities. Users are freed from making constant adjustments due to environmental changes. The HERO2 does the work.

Another favored feature of users is the "automatic photo-take mode." This feature allows the use to press the shutter button once and then the camera begins to automatically take still photos on intervals of 2, 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds. The user is freed up from operating the camera while it captures every moment of the action.

Design Features A motorsport camera at a minimum has to be tough. Gopro cameras are made with a rugged polycarbonate housing that can withstand both the harsh conditions and intense abuse common to extreme sports. The Gopro motorsport is waterproof down to 60 meters. It's lithium icon battery pack will hold a charge for 2.5 hours and is rechargeable using any USB port or compatible auto or wall charger. The camera is usable while charging, so drivers can simultaneously charge and capture footage. Furthermore, the battery has a built in warmer to keep it warm while filming winter sports or in cold conditions.

Gopro has been the number 1 manufacturer of wearable sports cameras for some time. They have been featured in the magazines, Backpacker Magazine, Motorcyclist Magazine and Popular Mechanics. With increasing interest in extreme sports Gopro motorsports cameras are only likely to grow in popularity.
