10. What comes in the kit?

Package contents include:
1 x HERO Wide Camera with 170º Wide Angle Lens (5 Megapixel)
1 x Shockproof/Waterproof Quick-Release Housing--100 feet/30 meters
3 x Flat Adhesive Mounts
2 x Curved Adhesive Mounts
2 x Horizontal Surface Quick-release Buckle
1 x Vertical Surface "J-Hook" Buckle
1 x Suction Cup Mount
1 x Three-way Pivoting Side Arm Assembly
1 x USB/RCA Combo Cable

11. What are the mounts like?

The Motorsports Hero package comes with a good range of helmet and onboard camera mounts. There is enough adhesive-based mounts to stick on five helmets or other flat and curved surfaces (such as bumpers). The Suction Cup mount is strong, but like all suction cups it can let go without warning, so we suggest using a tether if you are mounting it somewhere where it will get damaged if the mount comes loose. If you don't plan to use the suction cup mount, you may want to look at the Helmet or Surf Hero packages.

12. What is the difference between the Helmet, Motorsports and Surf Hero packages?

All these kits come with the exact same camera and waterproof housing. The only difference is the mounts that come in the package.

13. How much is postage and how long does it take?

Express delivery is included free of charge. Orders are normally sent the same day they are received (before 12pm WST) and take 1-2 days within Australia (depending on your location, allow extra for regional and remote areas). International orders depend on location.
