GoPro has made a reputation for itself in the sports industry as the best HD sports video recorder on the market. If you are interested in recording your experiences in HD, look no further, GoPro is your answer.
Buying a GoPro is not as easy as just buying a camera, GoPro packages their cameras with other accessories and mounting hardware; each package is constructed to meet individual needs. Let's examine each package so you can determine the best option for you.
As a side note, all packages come standard with a rechargeable 1100 mAh rechargeable battery, a water proof protective case, an HD video component cable, an audio and video out component cable, and a one year warranty.
Package #1: HD Helmet HERO
The HD Helmet HERO is one of 2 premier packages GoPro offers. It packages together the best video recorder available, the 1080p HD HERO camera, and a total of 6 mounting brackets. It is called the HD Helmet HERO because 2 of the 6 brackets are designed to mount your GoPro on you head or helmet. It also comes with 2 flat surface mounts and 2 curved surface mounts to give you some extra mounting options. In regard to additional accessories, this package also comes with a three-way pivoting side arm assembly and two quick release buckles to keep your GoPro locked in its protective case.
