Learn about the new GoPro HD HERO® camera at gopro.com.

The best part about developing cameras at GoPro is the R&D. Here, GoPro's CEO, Nicholas Woodman, starts from the back of the pack to showcase the sharpness of GoPro's HD HERO camera in 1080p. Shot at Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, CA.

GoPro would like to thank all of the volunteer SCCA corner workers that make racing weekends like this possible. This vid's for you!

    Brilliant, awesome, superb! :D

    So, if I understood the tech stuff well, this resolution shows the non wide (120°) angle, right?
    The sound is AMAZING, given the situation, thumbs up!

    One more question, which mount is used for the vid? Succion cup? 3M sticker? Custom mount of some sort?


    This little beauty will be mine, sooner or later! xD

    For a number of technical reasons, when set to 1080p resolution, the camera captures a 127º angle of view instead of its normal, ultra-wide 170º angle of view. We worked a looooong time to get the mic and audio input solid on this camera--we're glad you can hear it :) The mount used was the 3M stick on baseplate.

    As a former SCCA racer, First off, sweet drive! Textbook lines for Infineon. 317 deserved the salute ;-) I'm presuming FE since I saw some sports racers out there. Secondly, Your camera is awesome, perfect for evaluating your drive and syncing with telemetry. And the sound is so good you can't hide when you hit the rev limiter :)
    One of my favorite videos on Vimeo now. Bravo!
