Just learn about GoPro camera last Dec 2011 after watching a video online. Done a search on google.com, check what is it about, what are the reviews, and so on and so forth... Raving for it's great videos and awesome pictures, I am hooked! I actually plan to buy it for my husband as a Christmas present, but at that time, I thought it was only available online, and delivery on holiday season is a pain in the **s. I had opted to just bought him an Adidas Sennheiser waterproof headset, one that is readily available in most of the shopping stores that carries Mac or Apple products.
So today we bought our very first GoPro camera, it's the GoPro's HD Helmet HERO. We had been checking it out in Harvey Norman stores in both Suntec and Millenia Walk, but since there is a shortage of accessories currently - we're quite thinking twice if we really want to buy now or what if we'll just wait for their accessories to restock. But since we will be going to Phuket next week, then, why not buy now =) must buy now, seldom this travel come due to work and other stuff.
We had to call almost all the reseller for this product in Singapore just to make sure that they have the Chest mount harness available, you'll find out soon why this accessory is a MUST when you own a GoPro camera. And since we are running out of time before our holiday, right after office, we straight went to Peninsula Plaza, Funan, back to Peninsula Plaza, called Harvey Norman Raffles City, Vivo City, and other stores on this website www.streamcastasia.com, HN @ Raffles City do not have stock for HD Hero Naked, but they offer me a good discount if I will purchase HD Surf Hero since it is the only one left and the next in line after Hero Naked. I did note the salesmen name just to make sure that he's not bogus or he will just say thru phone-only when actually it is not. Well he did assured me to look for him when we come to their HN store later or on another day. And I guess, o---kay, why not trust this young men and just go there as you do not need to travel far or something.
BUT before we did that, my husband was able to contact a reseller located @ Holland Village, stating that they still have 2 more stock for Chest mount harness. And thinking that we already missed our chance just now in one of the store at Excelsior Hotel regarding this accessory, my husband decided that we just went ahead and get the Chest mount harness first before getting the camera @ Raffles City, a stone throw away from where we are at that time. Now, we are running again to make sure we reach the store at Holland Village, Parisilk before they close at 8pm. And what a fool, we took bus rather than MRT. So we reach at 7:52pm, glad that they are still open and that there are still customers inside. Robert was able to buy and off we go to Raffles City.
We travel from Holland Village back to Raffles City via mrt to get the camera, you remember, the one with the discount, yes - that's a very good deal provided that it is from a Harvey Norman store and that we had been or we had contacted most of the HN stores to check their availability and price, this is the only store that offers a 20% discount just because it is their last stock. A saving of S$40 from the actual retail price and on other resellers, yay! Went there and got interested on HD Helmet Hero instead as it has more accessories along with the head strap (which cost up to S$29, if I'm not mistaken), adhesive mounts, etc, and etc. So then we look for Sam, the guy who I just spoke with and ask him what is his price for Helmet Hero, he go back ask someone and get back with a 20% discount too! What a nice guy! We are lucky to found him, I mean glad that he is the one who answer my call just now, and give us this savings. Thank you Sam from Harvey Norman Raffles City. Good job man =)
With professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions and can record at 30 and 60 frames per second, up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card, this was not included.
Helmet camera mount options include a headlamp style head strap that you can quickly share with your friends, a lace-through strap-mount for vented helmets, two curved and two flat adhesive mounts for attaching to gear, vehicles or whatever else moves you.
With this, we also bought Chest Mount Camera Harness a.k.a Chesty, this is fully adjustable to fit all sizes. Making it easy to capture
immersive video and photo footage from your chest. Perfect for
skiing, mountain biking, motocross, paddle sports, or any activity where
you want to get a “lower than the helmet” view of the action. See more
of your arms, knees poles, and skis while skiing…or your arms and
handlebars while biking or riding your motorcycle. Recommended as a more
immersive way to film than on the helmet.
Compatible with ALL HD HERO Original + HD HERO2 Professional Camera.
Plus the dedicated Tripod mount for GoPro, this is compatible with ALL HD HERO & HD HERO2 cameras.
All their accessories comes with one year warranty as well.
Will be posting videos and photos using our GoPro HD Helmet Hero plus reviews or tips and tricks to make you a Hero =) hehe
