Except perhaps in some rare circumstances, you can never go back to get a shot you missed, You can never quite re-create the same conditions — weather, lighting, roads, other people, etc. Without any sort of video screen, you"ll never know if your GoPro camera is even pointed in the right direction, never mind actually capturing the shots you wanted. It"s only with the addition of something like this GoPro LCD BacPac that you"ll know you"re getting exactly what you were intending.
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.

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.

This means that running the GoPro HD without the BacPac involves carrying the big sheet of folded GoPro instructions or a cheat sheet to remember all the cryptic commands on the tiny LCD panel in front of the camera.
That 1980’s style LCD screen on the front was holding the GoPro back from being a favorite motorcycle videocam though. So when GoPro announced the new BacPac system, I was all ears.
The GoPro BacPac “System” currently consists of the GoPro BacPac LCD, the subject of this review, and the GoPro Battery BacPac, an extended battery for the video camera.
The Battery BacPac and the LCD BacPac units simply snap on to the back of the base GoPro HD Hero camera. You can use one or the other, but not both at the same time.
The GoPro LCD BacPac is a small add-on LCD screen. It provides a live view, a speaker and a menu system that means owners never have to look at that crummy monochrome 1980’s style LCD panel on the front of the camera again.
The LCD BacPac costs $79.95 list, which is fairly reasonable for what it is…until you remember that the list price of the GoPro HD Hero is already a stiff $299.99. So we’re talking $380.00, which includes some, but not all, of the mounts you’ll probably want.
Anyway, the LCD BacPac adds exactly 1 ounce (30 grams) to the GoPro HD Hero. It’s the same width and height as the GoPro camera, but it adds another 10 mm out the back.
The LCD BacPac box includes four new back covers to replace the original covers that come with the camera, which will no longer fit over the extra 10 mm.
Rick sent an email to GoPro support asking if there is a new mount for the Chesty that will accommodate the GoPro HD Hero with the LCD BacPac installed and I’ll report back if we hear anything.
By the way, the GoPro HD Hero can be used without the LCD BacPac if you wish; simply remove the BacPac, install the original-style cover and run the camera like before.
The only nit I can pick is that I would have liked more extensive menu descriptions, now that the big (relatively speaking) LCD panel is used. The text is definitely more descriptive than the two-letter acronyms used on the front panel, but it could be better.
With the new larger back cover installed for the LCD BacPac and with the camera secured inside the housing, there is a new third button for the LCD screen, which is used to access some of the menu choices on the LCD screen.
I’m sorry to say, the GoPro LCD BacPac is yet another product in the Hall of Shame. Wads of useless junk remain after you tear your fingers apart, trying to liberate the tiny little BacPac.
Of course, the LCD should be standard equipment on the GoPro HD Hero without having to add a 10 mm extension off the back and paying 80 bucks for the privilege.
But the LCD BacPac now makes the HD Hero probably the better motorcycle video camera at this point, because the form factor is slightly more useful than the long tube-shaped Drift HD 170, at least for motorcycle use.
