POV Cameras...GoPro HD on the way!

As my last few posts have indicated, I've been struggling with finding the right tool for a POV (point-of-view) mountable camera for several applications including my motorsports work.

The GoPro cameras that I have have it all...the size...the mounting hardware...the functionality. What my GoPro cameras don't have is HD. In fact they're a bit below full SD.

I've explored using some other small cameras, (Blog post October 6, 2009) but awkward body designs and narrow lens choices have been a challenge to overcome.

We've been making the standard GoPros work (Blog post August 12, 2009), but even with the really interesting images that the cameras are capable of, for video production purposes ten years into the 21st century, the resolution os a disadvantage.

GoPro has an HD product now listed on their website...though it looks as if it isn't shipping yet.

I know I'll be bookmarking it and ordering when it's available.

(I am not given any promotional consideration by GoPro, Creative Labs, or any other manufacturer associated with this post.)
