You need one of these little cameras.  Are you a racer, into kayaking... how about sky diving, moto-cross, or road racing.  These cameras can be mounted in an endless number of places to help you get pictures of what you are doing,.. .or if you are a racer, you can use them as a testing tool to help see what you cars chassis is doing.  There are as many uses for this as you can imagine.

As you can see here... this camera is as small as the typical sized business card.  But it makes photos, or video as good as big hand held models.  What great about these is you can mount them, and get live action shots, and have them for your collection.  Also in the picture you can see one of the several mounts that come with the camera.  Most impressive is the fact that the Digital HERO shoots not only brilliant 3 megapixel video, for up to almost an hour of TV resolution video on up to a maximum 2GB SD card..

Here you can see a couple uses and how easily it can be mounted on you or your vehicle.  On the right is the various accessories that come with the camera.  It should be pointed out that there is some variations in the mounting kits with different cameras.  For example a "helmet" camera will get this kit that has a head-lamp style strap, whereas a person who purchase a camera that straps to their wrist would get a different style strap.  Most all cameras come with the following.

The camera;   waterproof/shockproof housing;  3 curved stick on mounts;   2 flat stick on mounts;  batteries,;  USB/RCA combo cable

Below you will see a couple videos that have been put together to give you ideas of various uses for this great little camera.

I need to point out that the ACTUAL video is MUCH better than what is shown here simple because of the bandwidth and the ability to download the fine qualify of the pictures and videos it makes.  This has been reduced and compressed both,.. so please keep that in mind.  You pictures and video will be much better.

    

This is a video we shot at a local short track.  The track is very old and has a very rough surface, hence all the bouncing.  You get the idea of what the camera is capable of.  Here we have shot some sample in-car camera footage, and also included is some chassis-cam footage  This is a video supplied by the camera's maker. It gives you some ideas of all the different things and ways the camera can be used for. Race cars, surfing, hang gliding, kayaking, etc etc. If you are into sports, this is something you need to have to capture all those exciting moments.
