gopro lcd touch bacpac waterproof factory

The LCD Touch BacPac is a removable LCD touch screen for GoPro cameras*. As a removable accessory, the LCD BacPac keeps your camera as small and light as possible, yet provides the convenience of an LCD screen when attached.

January 31, 2011 — Half Moon Bay, Calif. — GoPro, the worldʼs leading wearable and gear mountable camera company, today announced the availability of the LCD BacPac, a removable LCD screen for the companyʼs HD HERO camera. The LCD BacPac represents the first in a line of expansion modules to be released for the HD HERO camera. Available for order today, subsequently shipping to retailers around the world, the LCD BacPac has an MSRP of $79.99.

The LCD BacPac attaches to the camera via the HERO Port™—a small expansion port located on the back of the camera. As a removable accessory, the LCD BacPac keeps the HD HERO camera as small and light as possible, yet provides the convenience of an LCD screen when attached.

Acclaimed by industry professionals and consumers alike for its broadcast quality HD video capture and unrivaled versatility, the HD HERO camera now benefits from the enhanced convenience of a detachable LCD screen:

“We designed the HD HERO camera to be a professional HD video capture tool, and that meant planning for expandability,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro CEO. “At the core, we’ve kept the HD HERO camera as small and light as possible, cutting out everythign that isn’t required for capturing incredible HD content. Our wide angle lens allows for the omission of an LCD screen for most uses, but of course there are times when an LCD screen comes in handy. We’re excited to provide this functionality to our customers via the LCD BacPac. This is the first of many expansion BacPacs to come, and one more step towards establishing the HD HERO as one of the most versatile cameras in the world.”

Included with the new LCD BacPac are four new housing backdoors that can be attached to both the existing HD HERO waterproof camera housing as well as the HD Wrist housing, which enables the HD HERO to be worn on the wrist. The new backdoors allow both housings to fully enclose the HD HERO camera plus LCD BacPac within the respective housings. Furthermore, the LCD BacPac is compatible with all existing GoPro mounts, when attached to the HD HERO camera.

• Hello Michael, the LCD fits and works fine but the back door that came with it is too big and does not fit my casing/housing. The three back doors on this order have not arrived yet so do not know if they fit or not. I am wondering if the Hero3 and the Hero3+ have different size housings and the extended back doors are only for the Hero3+ housing which is larger than mine. If they are a different size, I recommend that Amazon state the actual size of the items so we don"t waste our time and money buying the wrong parts.

• The first time I used the brand new backdoor with the LCD Bacpac on GoPro HERO3+ water leaked in, although I carefully checked the housing before snorkling. After 20 minutes in two meter deep salt water the GoPro housing was filled with water. Unfortunately the GoPro does not work ever since. I am very disappointed because I am sure my handling of the camera was professional. With the standard backdoor I had never any problems with leaking.

• Any hard case back is ok for diving. If you have the touch screen back(for the LCD screen) it limits you to a little less than 10 ft. However this kit comes with the hard case back for the LCD screen as well so you should definitely be good to around 100 ft. Also if your going to be using it for diving I recommend you get the red lens clip on cover, it"s like 7 bucks and you get much better imaging.

• Yes it is a set of 3. 1 open (For audio), 1 hard back(non touch screen) view only, and 1 touch screen (a thin plastic sheet), All fit the new slimer housing with the LCD screen.

• Yes the LCD screen will fit in the old housing with the LCD attachment for the old housing. But people were buying the new hero 3+ and there was no back door for the LCD screen, GoPro"s answer to this was to take your new Hero 3+ and put it in the old Hero 3 housing with the the old LCD screen attachment. Now GoPro has designed these attachments which only fit the Hero 3+ case it came with when you bought it. I hope this helps!

• I have the hero 3 white which has the new hero 3+ housing and these fit. I purchased the LCD touch bacpac at Wally"s and the bacdoors it came with were too big (designed for the older housing) so I had to purchase these.#Standard_Housing_Backdoor

• Hi! From the GoPro website: 3 doors -Standard is waterproof to 131" -Touch back/ extended battery door waterproof to 10" - Skeleton is open and NOT waterproof! Hope that helps!

• 2 of 3 are waterproof. You get a skeleton (non waterproof). A hard window ( non touch and waterproof) and a soft window door ( touch and waterproof).

• You should be able to. If you install the waterproof touchback screen door, it has a thin film on the back that will allow you to touch the screen. It is still waterproof but not as deep as the regular waterproof housing.

The HERO3+ camera housing is 20% smaller than the HERO3. The cameras are claimed to have improved image sharpness (close focus down to 7" vs about 3 ft on the HERO3, at the expense of distant focus which is slightly less sharp

In September 2014, GoPro released an entry level camera named simply "HERO", priced at $130, alongside the HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver. It is built into a waterproof housing, unlike the HERO4 line.

The GoPro HERO (2014) can capture 5mp still images and has a 5fps burst option. It is able to record 1080P at 30 or 25fps and 720P at 60 or 50fps on to a MicroSD card up to 32GB. It has an LCD non touch display on the front and is waterproof down to 40m.

In June 2015, the company started to sell the GoPro HERO+LCD, which provides video recording at 1080p at 60 fps and 8 megapixel photos. The HERO+LCD is also built into a waterproof housing.

The HERO8 Black largely introduced several new functions into the camera. Physically, the HERO8 Black now incorporates the connecting prongs that are used to connect accessories, directly onto the camera. Originally, the cameras would only be able to access the prongs if the cameras utilised either the frames (for cameras HERO5 to HERO7) or the protective cases for HERO4 and before. Moreover, the GoPro logo moved under the LCD screen to make way for extra microphones. More additions to the camera most notably were part of the software aspects of the camera. These included an option to switch between various settings presets, including standard, activity, cinematic and action shots and adjusting on-screen shortcuts of the user interface. Most notably as part of software, was the introduction of the night-lapse video, which similar to the time-lapse video mode, automatically stitches the frames captured by the camera at set intervals, however with the addition of improved low-light performance.

The HERO8 Black also attempts to address vloggers who may wish to use the GoPro in such a manner. As such, GoPro has also introduced an external accessory known as the "Media Mod" which includes a USB Type-C port for supplying power to external microphones and accessories, a micro-HDMI port and a 3.5mm microphone port. Moreover, the accessory includes a mount to connect either external microphones, LEDs or an LCD screen.
