The new $1 Hot Wheels "Zoom In" car is a miniature GoPro camera dolly in disguise

I remember having a rather extensive range of Hot Wheels cars when I was a kid. It would’ve been great to be able to strap a camera to them and get their view of the world. Unfortunately, at the time, video cameras were kinda big. The smallest weren’t that far off a mid-sized family vehicle. Ok, maybe they were a bit smaller than that but certainly too big to strap to a tiny hot wheels car.

Thanks to modern technology, we have other options. With the GoPro Hero Session or Hero5 Session being so small, the new “Zoom In” car from Hot Wheels can easily manage to hold it. It’s set to go on sale this month for only $1.09, making it the cheapest GoPro mount out there of just about any type. And this one has wheels!

Of course, you do need to have a GoPro Hero Session or Hero5 Session (both of which have been discontinued) in order to make use of it. So, if you don’t already own one, your $1.09 becomes $121.08 or $201.08 pretty quickly. But if you do already have one, it could make for some interesting footage. And your kids will have a blast. Or you will, #notjudging.

This isn’t the first time that Hot Wheels have put a camera on one of their cars. They released the Video Racer Micro Camera Car a few years ago. Of course, that won’t shoot 4K video like the Hero5 Session.
