In the past few years, the GoPro HD Hero camera has become the choice of countless sports enthusiasts when it comes to filming their endeavors. It is available in varieties that allow 960p or 1080p filming, and is available with a variety of mounts, including but not limited to the following: Adhesive Helmet Mount, Chest Harness, Wrist Mount, Handlebars, Surfboard (above), Car Hood, Head strap, Seat post, Skis, Ski poles, and Tripod mount. The slightly less professional approach is to use an IPod, IPhone, or some other form of Smartphone/IPod type device. You can position them in one of the many items available for holding such devices (above). Obviously, there are no mounts designed specifically designed for filming with these gadgets, and the video quality is not as good, although none too shabby.One advantage is that the GoPro is fairely wide angle and the IPod delivers more regular video. The GoPro is also much more durable and waterproof, and so therefore more activities can be filmed with it. So if you want professional-level video and supreme durability, I would recommend the GoPro (www.goprocamera.com). However, for the less needy consumer, a regular IPod will suffice.
