    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.
