Posted

Waterproof digital camera reviews: Since I discovered the GoPro® HD Cameras, I have been using it almost on each kite session I do.  Many riders who saw my photos and asked me how did I get these kind of photos.   So please let me share…   I found this unique Camera via my good friend George from Kiteflix.com, movies talented producer.

Most of the photos were taken with the Surf Hero. This camera Shoot 56 minutes of TV resolution video with sound of 5 megapixel photos automatically for over an hour while you surf.  Waterproof to 100 feet/30 meters. Features a 170º ultra wide angle lens and high-resolution 5 megapixel sensor. The lens is so wide, it can capture a 6’2" surfer from head to toes while he/she is riding a 6’0" surfboard or regular tip like my Caliber 130. More photos, go to part 02 or part 03

The resolution is 5 megapixel (2592×1944) photo, 512×384 video. You can take video or photos. You can take video, standard photos, photo every 2 or 5 secs, 3x photo burst sequence, self timer and upside down photo/video flip.

2010, GoPro has launched the GoPro® HD Surf HERO™ Camera, the same but better : a real Rechargeable 1100 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery.

HD HERO cameras can shoot hands-free, 5 megapixel photos automatically at  2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second intervals until the batteries die or the SD card is full (2.5 hours). Or you can also set it to single shot, triple shot, or self timer for more traditional photo taking.

Waterproof digital camera reviews: Tips

Tips for drops: you won’t avoid these drops sometimes but you can do is before each session: spray some Rain-X on the lenses of the housing (outside)
also what I got from Susi, Pro Cabrinha Rider is put some toothpaste inside this same housing, leave it to dry and remove it, it will avoid this mist.
