Gopro Hero Video Camera The Camera

Gopro Hero Video Camera Polycarbonate Water Housing
The Motorsports Hero is tiny. It measures 1 inch thick, under 2-1/2 inches wide, and 1-1/2 inches tall. The polycarbonate water housing protects the camera and provides a secure base for all of the different mounting attachments.

Gopro Hero Video Camera Rechargeable Batteries
Part One: Camera Features
1. Rechargeable batteries are recommended because the camera will waste a pair of standard alkaline AAAs in about 20 minutes.
Gopro Hero Video Camera Memory Card
2. The camera will record almost an hour of video on a 2GB SD memory card with up to 4-megapixel clarity.
Gopro Hero Video Camera Energizer Rechargeable Battery System
3. We went with an Energizer rechargeable nickel-metal hydride 900-mAh battery system. The cool thing here is that for 40 bucks we scored a charger that will recharge both AAA and AA batteries in 15 minutes from either a 12-volt DC cigarette lighter outlet or from household 110-volt AC current.
Gopro Hero Video Camera Two Operative Buttons
4. There are only two buttons used to operate the camera. The one on the front turns it on and off and cycles through the different modes and setup options. On top of the camera is another button that activates the camera shutter and selects the different options. Note that the display reads upside down so that it's easier to operate the camera in the water housing.
Gopro Hero Video Camera Camera Housing
(5a & 5b.) Once you've got the batteries and memory card loaded up, the camera just slides into the housing like so.
