    The world’s smallest, wireless helmet and gear-mountable video camera for outdoor sports.

    Helmet HERO WIDE 5 - £189.99

     

    The Helmet HERO Wide quick-release attaches to vented and non-vented helmets, bikes, kayaks, skis, snowboards, and even includes a head strap for wearing like a headlamp. Features the industry’s widest 170º wide angle lens and 5 megapixel sensor for the most immersive point of view video and photos possible from a wearable sports camera, period.

    Shoot 56 minutes of high-resolution video and 5 megapixel photos automatically in "photo every 2 seconds" mode. Use as a hand held camera, too. Shockproof and waterproof to 100 feet/30 meters. Sets up in seconds and is easily moved between different mount locations.

    Based on the best selling original Helmet HERO camera, this updated 5MP Helmet HERO Wide camera features improved video, photo, audio, and low light performance. Reliability in ultra-high vibration environments has been improved with an entirely new internal circuit design. Battery life is improved to 3 hours of video record time when using Lithium batteries and 2 hours when using NiMH rechargeable batteries.



    Four quick-release adhesive mounts, a vented helmet strap, headlamp style head strap, and associated accessories are included. Adhesive mounts are removable but require purposeful removal by user. Safe on painted surface.



    Additional expansion mounts available separately, including handlebar/seatpost, chest harness, roll bar, and surfboard mounts. More mounts are always being developed for your convenience.
