plug directly into any standard definition or HDTV that has RCA or component (RGB) ports. The HD HERO

when shooting HD video. GoPro’s own testing has shown improved reliability in high vibration activities with
name brand SD and SDHC cards.

label facing the front of the camera. The SD card will click into place once it is inserted past flush with the
