Chris, we'll be in touch through your Insta DM's. Everyone else, stay tuned for some awesome giveaways in the New Year!
Founded in 2002, the GoPro brand has become the go to household name for small camera and Point of View media. Originally, the idea of the 'Hero' camera was to get close up shots of owner and founder Nick Woodman and his surfing buddies while they were trying to make it to the pro ranks of surfing (Go - Pro). Amateur photographers couldn't get close enough and the equipment to shoot underwater was too expensive or in the hands of professional photographers too busy or also too expensive.
To date there have been 14 Hero cameras produced by GoPro, including the different Session and + models. We're now up to the Hero 9 and it's an amazing piece of equipment. With 5 video modes including a 5k option and live streaming up to 1080p, touchscreen front and back, waterproof housing up to 10m and proprietary technology such as Hypersmooth 2.0 stabilisation and RAW photo capture, it's the go to equipment for amateurs and pros and is indispensable for capturing those memories on your Morzine or Finale Ligure mountain bike holiday.
GoPro Hero 9 Black
We've been using the GoPro platforms since our snowboarding days at in 2009 and more recently have been using the Session series to document all the tracks and trails in our resorts for our Track Check series across all our resorts, Morzine, Finle Ligure, Aosta & Schladming.
They are user friendly, dependable and have been proven to last in tough conditions while our helmets and for all sorts of media generated by our man behind the lens Scott, who also uses the 7 & 8 in his media kit. Upgrading to the 9 series this year is going to give our guys the best possible avenues to produce media to get everyone stoked on shredding bikes across Europe.
