GoPro seems to have gone beyond in developing the latest cameras and accessories that enable users to seamlessly capture hands-free images and video during their most liked activities. Enhancing its portfolio of wearable and gear mountable cameras, the company has now unfurled the attractive HD Hero 960 camera.
Sports and adventure enthusiasts may delight in this new offering since it has been crafted precisely to shoot professional quality high-definition videos. The device wraps in enticing accessories like chest harnesses, head straps, pole mounts and surfboard mounts. The HS Hero 960 is an entry-level version of the original 1080p HD Hero. Apart from this, the newly unleashed solution is capable of offering 960p and 720p at 30 frames per second and WVGA at 60 frames per second.
“We’ve been amazed at not only the quality of video that our customers have produced with the HD Hero since it’s launch, but also the variety of activities our customers are engaged in. People use the HD Hero camera for every type of activity imaginable,†commented Nicholas Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro. “Everyone has their passion and we’re so stoked that the HD Hero seems to be people’s solution for capturing incredibly high quality HD footage of that passion. The reason behind the HD Hero 960 is to make it easy for even more people to GoPro. We can’t wait to see the amazing footage all of our new customers are going capture and share.â€
Ensuring effortless navigation with an easy-to-use interface, the camera boasts of its compatibility with GoPro’s full line of mounting accessories. Backed by one year warranty, the device sports the efficient hands-free 5 megapixel time-lapse photo mode. Besides the automatic photo taking function, the exceptional One Button mode intuitively turns the camera into video or photo mode.
“We don’t automatically mark videos that were uploaded from a GoPro, so the fact that people are tagging their videos ‘GoPro’ is a great sign that our customers are really fired up on GoPro’s brand,†remarked Woodman. “Equally exciting is the average number of views these videos are getting. It’s telling that so many people love watching content captured with a GoPro camera. Your average GoPro customer is creating content that is often on par as with network television programming. That’s our most satisfying accomplishment that we’re putting the power of professional HD capture into the hands of everyday enthusiasts.â€
Designed with secure elements, the device puts forth utmost protection and shields the camera from unnecessary damages. The convenient head strap also enables owners to wear the camera like a headlamp. The flat and curved surface baseplates further stick onto a flat or curved surface with an unrivaled sense of convenience. Not to slip by, the newest Helmet Front Mount function helps to mount the device on the front of a helmet like a miner’s light or headlamp.
The new GoPro HD Hero 960 can be purchased now for $179.99 (approx Rs. 8,047) through the official website and authorized GoPro retailers.
