Description
Tested and approved by pro surfers in macking Puerto, Northern
California, and Hawaii, the Surf HERO is a revolutionary quick-release
board-mountable camera.
Shoot 56 minutes of TV resolution video with sound or 5 megapixel
photos automatically for over an hour while your surf. Waterproof to
100 feet/30 meters.
Features a 170º ultra wide angle lens and high-resolution 5
megapixel sensor. The lens is so wide, it can capture a 6'2" surfer
from head to toe while he/she is riding a 6'0" surfboard.
Designed for maximum convenience, simply press the shutter button on
the paddle out and the Surf HERO will shoot TV resolution video or 5MP
photos every 2 seconds for an hour while you surf. Once it starts
shooting video or photos you can forget about it until it's time to
review your footage at the end of your session.
The Surf HERO includes two, removable mounting options:
- A stick-on baseplate that takes a couple of minutes to set up and go.
- An FCS™ compatible plug mounting system that allows you to
allen-screw your camera into the deck of your board when you install
an FCS™ center fin plug into the deck of your board. Easily done by any
ding repairer or shaper.
Both options allow the camera to be quickly attached and removed from your surfboard.
