Digital Hero 5

Dubbed the Wrist HERO, the Digital Hero 5 is a 5 megapixel wrist camera for sports.

Waterproof to 100 feet (30 meters) and capable of shooting 56 minutes of video (with sound) and 5 megapixel still photos, the Digital Hero 5 "Wrist HERO" is the world’s most convenient solution to shooting on the go footage of your friends and family during your favorite activities—be it on the mountain or in the water.

Originally designed for surfing in big wave haven, Northern California, the Digital Hero 5 is engineered for maximum convenience as well as maximum durability. Perfect for surfing or snorkeling, hiking or climbing, the Digital Hero 5 makes it easy to have a camera at hand for video and photo opportunities that occur at times when traditional cameras are too inconvenient to use or carry. No pockets? No problem if you are wearing the Digital Hero 5 "Wrist HERO" camera.

Thanks to its patented design, the Digital Hero 5 can be worn securely flat on the wrist during your sport but can quickly pivot upright for aiming the shot. Even in this upright position, the camera is securely attached to your wrist. This makes it easy to grab your surfboard, paddle, or otherwise have both hands free without risk of dropping your camera. The housing is waterproof to 100 feet/30 meters.

The camera can also be strapped to gear such as kayak paddles and the leading edge of kitesurfing kites. This allows the kitesurfer to film their entire session looking down from above, as though they had a private helicopter camera crew following them while they surf.

The Digital Hero 5 can be combined with the Helmet HERO Expansion Kit and Motorsports HERO Expansion Kit in order to mount the Digital Hero 5 to helmets, bikes, and other gear.

The Digital Hero 5 has an adjustable neoprene strap that adjusts to fit a range of sizes from a child’s wrist to fitting over the ski jacket sleeve of an adult.
