Replacement HD Hero housings are here
NYou can drill a hole in one housing for the live video out and have another housing for underwater use.
We can get you up and running with live video out in no time (until the camera firmware comes out). It's a simple 15 second procedure and it only requires and external USB battery. Once activated, the camera stays in this state until turned off. AND you can have HD video out if you prefer! THE CAMERA WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS NORMAL, ALL FUCTIONS AND SETTING ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO YOU. The live video image DOES have icons and flashing red dot showing taping/still picture taking. There is no way to turn off this information 'overlay'.
We are offering a wired and a veriety of wireless live video packages. Also optional accessories for the packages.
Note: the live video is only video and no audio.
Also the live video is ONLY for the HD Hero and not the standard Hero.
You can also add an optional LIVE AUDIO with the live video with a small
line-level microphone as an option to the wired and wireless packages. Place it next to the HD Hero.
Possible uses for live video:
- To show on the big screen LIVE at an event.
- To analyze motorsports vehicle suspension travel and clearance issues LIVE.
- To have the ability to view and record a live video feed for quick editing at a lower resolution.
- For R/C vehicles, you can now drive by video. Vehicle no longer has to be in-sight.
- To help setup an important shot, without having to shoot and review.
- To know exactly when the camera is taking a still picture (good for timelapse mode).
- For a professional production environment where live HD or standard video output is required.
Once you are all setup, why not broadcast it LIVE to the internet. Ustream or LiveCast
Watch the video to see the live video in action. You get either HD video or standard video out:
To enable live video, a few things are REQUIRED: If you are using the underwater housing, you must drill a hole for the standard video plug at the bottom or the top plug if you prefer HD video.
A 700mAH USB external battery is also required for live video. Not all external USB batteries are powerful enough. It must be strong enough to be able to charge the GoPro battery. Eye Of Mine sells a great Lenmar 700mAh USB battery which is included in all the packages below.
If you are going to use this camera on a tripod or want to have access to the plugs without drilling holes in your underwater housing, you may want to consider the Eye Of Mine tripod mount ($12.99) that connects the camera to a tripod or any other mount that has a 1/4-20 bolt without the underwater housing. The video out and USB plug are both accessible when in this tripod mount.
See main order page for this tripod mount.
Instructions on how to enable live video are contained in all of the below packages.
None of the packages are designed for underwater use or should be used in a damp environment. Enclosing the electronics including the antennas in a plastic bag will not affect performance.

WIRELESS LIVE VIDEO PACKAGES
(All wireless packages are special order. Allow approx 2-3 weeks. If you need 900mhz, email us)
UPDATE: 1: When the wireless antenna is inside the vehicle, the sheet metal body acts as a barrier to the signal and because there are windows, as the vehicle changes orientation, the signal will get stronger/weaker at the receiver end. 2: Changes in orientation, distance to the receiver affect the signal. 3: Vehicle electronics/ignition can affect the video signal. 4: Using the supplied omni directional antennas dilutes the range and increase the chance of interference. Ideally, a directional antenna should be pointed at the moving transmitter at all times to get the strongest signal. We will investigate other systems or methods to reduce the issues above. |

Please note that these are approved wireless frequencies in the United States, but may not be in your country.
Please check before ordering. All systems are EITHER NTSC or PAL. We will ship NTSC unless you note otherwise on the comment section on the order form or in an email to us if you're outside the US.

Unfortunately, going up in power means going up in battery size. instead of a 9V, the transmitter requires a bigger 12v battery (slightly bigger than a deck of cards). Choose this package if you will be far from the camera and already have your own monitor. You can add to this package- See OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES section.

continuous recording with built-in battery. Because this has no external antenna, the range is reduced.

ELA1U complete kit that contains a wall charger and a 12v car charger & case.
Note: This price is only for the upgrade. To buy individually, go here.
($29) Mini line-level microphone. This allows you to have wired or wireless live audio since the HD
ELLM Hero does not transmit audio in the live video mode. Specs: 12v 20mA (small battery & holder
included). 20-16kHz, s/n ratio: +58db. Note that this audio is only live audio. It is not recorded by
the camera. The camera will be recording with it's own internal mic.
HD WIRELESS: Currently there are no reasonably priced portable HD transmitters/receivers available.
Below are some Tips and tricks for wireless. We live in a world of wireless devices: Cell phones, cordless phones, wireless routers, beepers, wireless TV such as sling box, bluetooth, wireless internet cards...the list goes on...and any one of these has the potential to interfere with your wireless signal. So, before doing any kind of important event, TEST, TEST TEST.
Line of sight means literally just that. If anything is in the line of sight - a tree, house, wall, your range will be decreased.
The most important single thing for a good wireless signal is antenna placement, for both transmitter and receiver. The HIGHER THE BETTER with antennas. Try to get as close to line-of-sight as possible. Obviously that may not possible indoors, so keep the antenna high. For vehicles try to put the antenna high and outside, otherwise the metal of the vehicle is like a cocoon and will reduce the range depending on the angle of the transmitter to the receiver. Moving cameras will always be problematic in city environments.
Second most important is try to stay away from anything that is transmitting a signal. And secondarily, try to stay away from any power boxes, outlets, transformers, generators. On vehicles, stay away from ignition electronics, spark plugs, distributors, magnetos AND driver radios.
And the third item of importance is battery, battery, battery. When your battery starts to loose it's power, your wireless signal will suffer. And you won't even know why the signal is bad! Some symptoms of low power can be bad reception, wavy video, loss of color. So, don't be cheap, use a fresh battery (or freshly charged) before any important event. Happy transmitting!
Underwater: It is not possible to transmit radio waves underwater (that's why they use sonar). The only way to have wireless underwater would be to run the transmitter antenna (and video cable) to the surface of the water, which would defeat the purpose of a 'wireless camera'.
-----------------
Disclaimer: The procedure needed to get live video out of the HD Hero is based upon the version one HD Hero camera and requires NO modifications to the camera and will not void the camera warranty. There is a small chance that any future firmware upgrades could keep this procedure from working correctly. Eye Of Mine Multimedia has no control over this and as such cannot accept any refunds in this event. Additionally, Eye Of Mine is not responsible for bad wireless transmissions due to poor area, bad weather, interference from other devices or excessive distance. Eye Of Mine is also not responsible for operating with excessive transmission power. It is the customer's responsibility to obtain any necessary licenses. None of the packages are designed for underwater use. Actual products shipped may be slightly different than pictured above. Prices are subject to change.
