One of the worlds most popular compact waterproof cams - especially among kayak fishing ranks - has been updated. Say hello to the GoPro Hero 2, which according to it's makers is twice as good as it's predecessor in every way. Packing a lot of new long-awaited features, the Hero 2 is likely to be every bit as popular with kayak fishos. I can see the WiFi functionality getting a lot of attention, but for me the variable field of view and frame-per-second specs is what is most exciting. Read on for a rundown of the new features:
