Digital HERO 5 Camera - Description
Dubbed the Wrist HERO, the Digital Hero 5 is a 5 megapixel wrist
camera for sports.
Waterproof to 100 feet (30 meters) and
capable of shooting 56 minutes of video (with sound) and 5 megapixel still
photos, the Digital Hero 5 "Wrist HERO" is
the world’s most convenient solution to shooting on the go footage of your
friends and family during your favourite activities—be it on the mountain or in
the water.
Originally designed for surfing in big wave
haven, Northern California, the Digital Hero 5 is engineered for maximum
convenience as well as maximum durability. Perfect for surfing or snorkelling,
hiking or climbing, the Digital Hero 5 makes it easy to have a
camera at hand for video and photo opportunities that occur at times when
traditional cameras are too inconvenient to use or carry. No pockets? No
problem if you are wearing the Digital Hero 5 "Wrist HERO"
camera.
Thanks to its patented design, the Digital Hero 5 can be worn securely flat on
the wrist during your sport but can quickly pivot upright for aiming the shot.
Even in this upright position, the camera is securely attached to your wrist.
This makes it easy to grab your surfboard, paddle, or otherwise have both hands
free without risk of dropping your camera. The housing is waterproof to 100
feet/30 meters.
The camera can also be strapped to gear
such as kayak paddles and the leading edge of kite-surfing kites. This allows
the kite-surfer to film their entire session looking down from above, as though
they had a private helicopter camera crew following them while they surf.
The Digital Hero 5 can be combined with the Helmet HERO Expansion Kit and Motorsports HERO Expansion Kit in order to
mount the Digital Hero 5to helmets, bikes, and other
gear.
The Digital Hero 5 has an adjustable neoprene
strap that adjusts to fit a range of sizes from a child’s wrist to fitting over
the ski jacket sleeve of an adult.
