GoPro HD Hero Wide, the world’s first full high definition 1080p helmet camera! Yes, that’s right, 1080p (1920 x 1080 resolution) on a helmet cam, how awesome is that? Even better is the price. You can order yours in Australia and have it delivered for under $500!

GoPro have used the well tried and trusted design concepts from the original Hero Cam and made some dramatic improvements to video and audio quality.

The GoPro HD Hero still has the awesome 170 degree wide angle lens and now has the option of a narrower view, depending on camera settings. It has three recording resolutions: 1080p (1980 x 1080), 960p (1280×960, so it’s similar to 720p but at 4:3 ratio), and 720p (1280 x 720). What’s even better is the camera can record 720p at double speed 60 FPS forvelvet smooth high-def slow motion. Below are the specifications:

* 1080P 1980×1080 30 fps @12 Mbps
* 960P 1280×960, 30 fps @ 10 Mbps
* 720P 1280×720, 30 fps @ 7.5 Mbps
* 720P 1280×720, 60 fps @ 15 Mbps

The GoPro HD Hero has a completely redesigned power system. The new power design includes a 1100 maH Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack. This provides greatly improved battery life over the original GoPro Wide series, especially in cold weather and cold water environments. This new battery pack should provide 2 hours of record time, and you can always pack extra batteries as well. The battery has increased the depth of the GoPro High Def housing a slightly, making the overall package a bit thicker – but the GoPro HD Hero is still very small and compact!

The GoPro HD Motorsports Hero still has the full range of mounts to suit just about any application, so you can stick it just about anywhere.

The 5 megapixel photo mode has returned as well. You can snap 5MP photos on the fly, or configure the camera to automatically snap photos every 2, 5, or 10 seconds, which can be done while the camera is recording video. In addition, the 1080p video mode is equivalent to 2 megapixels, so you could get a high quality frame grab from the video footage as well! The camera will accept up to a 32gb SDHC card, which is good knowing the large file sizes that 1080p video will produce. The video compression format is H.264, a great universal format for HD video. That’s a lot of camera for a tiny price!
