    I know several of you use the Go ProHD mountable camera and if you are like me it is frustrating that there is no LCD screen so you can frame what you are shooting

    Well they have fixed that with the BacPac, it is a small LCD that mounts to the back of the camera, it allows you to frame your video as well as playback video. It is priced at 79.00

    Yup, I saw the pre release of this awhile ago. We will have them for sale in the next couple weeks. I think this is a great addition to make the camera more usable.

    I assume this will allow the framing of the camera and then you can remove it before filming or does it need to be left attached?

    Looks like it would be a pain to remove after framing.

    I had two GoPro's and while there were things about them I really liked, in the end I found them too fussy and just too much trouble to use, so I sold them to a snow boarder. I also had issues with the sound, it was very prone to static spikes and noise - I could never get rid of it and GoPro tried to help, but they couldn't either...

    I now use a regular small vid camera, it has 30 hours of record time available, and the battery lasts for more the 4 hours. A piece of foam taped over the mike gets rid of almost all the wind noise too....

    They send a new water proof back so you leave the screen on you dont have to take it off.

    Sweet :Thumbsup: But how do you fit your head inbetween the front bumper and the screen to frame the picture? :eek6::eek6:
