GoPro

Helmet-mounted video recorder

GoPro is a brand of small, rugged video cameras designed for action sports and adventure filming.

The cameras mount to helmets, surfboards, car dashboards, and bodies to capture first-person footage.

The name has become generic for any similar action camera: I strapped a GoPro to my chest before the skydive.

As a verb, to GoPro something is to record it this way.
