New video review: the GoPro HD HERO extreme sports camera series – Part 2, camera housing

Feb 25th, 11 / 0 Comments

Click the full GoPro HD HERO extreme sports camera series to view other related videos.

An extreme sport’s camera, such as the GoPro HD HERO, must be able to sustain a significant amount of shock and hits while being used. All this abuse to the camera comes natural through regular use be it cycling, mountain biking, surfing or using it on fast moving vehicles like cars, motorcycles or even air planes.

With that said, it should also be obvious that the GoPro HD HERO must be well protected against all the hits, shock and other damage it might be suffering during normal use. How this issue is being handled by the GoPro development team can be read and viewed (we’ve created a YouTube video especially for you!) in the following review.

In the part two video of the GoPro HD HERO extreme sports camera series you can find detailed information regarding the casing/housing of the GoPro HD HERO. The video includes details that have to do with:

How the GoPro HD HERO’s casing is constructed
GoPro HD HERO’s casing features
How to use the GoPro HD HERO’s casing
