welcome to my unboxing and first look at the GoPro be a hero Motorsports hero
this is a true HD video camera that is
designed with a mounting system that allows you to mount it to your car or
your motorbike these are the pictures they have on the front let's go ahead
and have a look at this very fancy box from the side you've got it mounted on a
dirt bike there it's waterproof to 180 ft okay this is a
takes 5 megapixel photos included mounts
are right here supports suction cup two
curved adhesive mounts three flat adhesive mounts three-way pivot ARM and
cables are included all right uh you know what let's do this side first where
we've got it mounted on what appears to be a go-kart then we've got a dirt bike
again and here it is mounted in a car all right on the back we see the overall
specs so in terms of video we can support up to 1080p at 30 FPS or 720p at
30 or 60 FPS light sensitivity video for
okay the video format is h264 and it also supports mp4 file
format cool all right mono audio so it
does capture audio it uh has a 5 megapixel resolution
okay for photos that's good storage is done by SD card up to a 32 gig Max and
average record times are here so if you're recording at wow it looks like
you actually don't get much additional recording time for stepping down from
1080p to 720p so 12 minutes at 1080p
with uh per gig and 16 minutes per gig
at 720p okay USB 2 is included and it has a
battery that runs for approximately 2.25 hours per recording supports OSX as well
as Windows uh Vista but I suppose it will also support Windows 7 without much
difficulty as well so this was a complicated box to get open because of
the stick that are on the side here but why don't we have a look at the included
accessories and wow we've got some pretty uh Fancy Pants looking cables
here okay so that looks like a component HD video out okay then we have a
composite video out including audio I don't know why it has stereo audio
connectors when it only actually supports uh mono audio recording but
whatever I'm not going to not going to question it there's the USB cable for
transferring your data all right we got suction
Mount
H okay so these can be loosened oh yeah
there we go there we go so you can actually adjust that a number of
different ways there you go you press in
order to I guess attach it here let's
see yep press to attach and that one will in theory
release it or we press to release
well it comes off okay next we have some
double-sided tape Mount
ones okay so there's something there's something
else there's other more different thing no that's the same
thing okay let's just dump these out here got another one of
those there's one of these and another
one of those so it looks like these Mount by by sliding in
here okay so yeah you can clip that guy on there and then uh this guy can o I
don't know how to get it out now there we go so you can slide that off so basically these allow you to position
them in a bunch of different places where you are might be likely to attach
the GoPro at some later point in time so then there's a couple different options
for mounts that go on there so there's this one and this one okay
and last but not least that one okay wow
it's kind of neat that it includes all these different accessories so you can mount it on a variety of different
Vehicles just by by grabbing it and clipping it on all right here we
have wow all right I'm just going to cheat
because that's what I do when I don't know what else to do okay so here we go
two curved adhesive mounts that's these
here you might as well look at these while I while I talk about them oh no
these must be the two curved adhesive mounts yeah they're curved so that
they'll stick to something that is rounded see that two curved adhesive
mounts uh three flat adhesive mounts
that is these guys right here so these are flat on the bottom all right we have
three-way pivot ARM that must be this
guy okay then we
have just a bunch of mounts fine okay
documentation is all included Within instructions which I will definitely
definitely need at this point in time we've got a couple different languages
for instructions hopefully there's an English one somewhere consult
consult consult okay that's okay we'll figure
that out later and warranty so warranty
is guaranteed for one year from the original dat of purchase here we have
the battery and now finally let's extract the GoPro camera unit itself
give me a minute on this one so here it is extracted it's
attached to the base via the sliding clicking mechanism that you use to
attach it to either your flat or your curved mounts here so there you go you
can throw it on one of those like that or we can go ahead
and okay it is a little tough to remove
from those once you've got it on there there we
are all right so let's have a look at the unit itself so so here we have a
button here we have the lens here we have an LCD screen here we have other
more different button here we have a latch which appears to assist us in
removing the waterproof
cover there we are oo and this is where
all the magic happens so there's your
microphone there is your USB there's your TV output there's your HD TV output
this is also your sound output if you're running HDTV all right you've got your
battery compartment on the back there there's your SD slot and oh yeah here we
go here are all the different modes so R1 is wide VGA R2 is 720p at 30 FPS R3
is 60 FPS 720p our four is 960p at 30
FPS and our five is there you go 1080p at 30 FPS so for best sound in high wind
use at less than 100 mph use the non-waterproof door so presumably that
is the one okay and for greater than 100 mph
use the waterproof door so let's go ahead and see how complicated it is to
install the battery aha very uncomplicated so we're just going to
open this up I mean step back for a minute and
check this out there's so much stuff in this package I would not have guessed
that one small package could contain so
much HD goodness
all right so let me just make sure I haven't missed anything critical here in
this video it is shock proof apparently
bombproof and waterproof okay it can
shoot handsfree excellent audio recording that
removes unnecessary noise and Ambience
okay uh the camera connectors and cables are available with PC connection and
HDTV out which we've seen already and then
finally the yeah professional quality full HD video 1080P 960p and 720p okay
so yeah so we've pretty much covered everything so we'll have a quick look at
the waterproof casing so you can replace this backing with the non-waterproof one
for better audio capture at low speeds all right and then you can also remove
this particular mounting system and you can take the whole thing ah there we are
and you can mount it to any of the other number of arms or other different arms
depending on how you want to attach
the GoPro to your vehicle or Helmet or
whatever it is you want to attach it to to take some cool 1080phd video
