To recap
We adore the HD Hero, and its low cost and ease of use are really powerful reasons to buy one. Of all the underwater cameras we’ve used, it is by far the nicest and the most useful for other applications. It might be a funny shape, but it’s still very handy too for any video maker to have. A lovely device, well worth every penny of its asking price.
