Three Awesome Accessories For Your GoPro Action Camera

The GoPro HD2 is widely regarded as the best action camera on the market, and it's hard to argue that a camera as feature-rich as the GoPro doesn't deserve that accolade. Full HD (high definition) 1080p recording, a super-sharp wide angle lens, a small & lightweight body and 11MP still image capabilities are just a handful of features that make this camera a certified market leader.

Better still, there are a wide range of accessories available that further enhance the performance and versatility of the GoPro. Listed below are three of the best accessories available:

GoPro LCD BacPac

When compared to some of its competitors, one of the features that the GoPro lacks is an LCD display. While this doesn't affect the camera's performance, it is undoubtedly a handy addition. If an LCD screen is high on your list priorities when looking for a camera, and you have your heart set on a GoPro then look no further than the LCD BacPac.

The LCD BacPac comes in the form of a detachable LCD screen, which can be attached as and when it's required (most commonly used for lining up shots or playing back footage). It's small and lightweight so adds little weight to the camera and has a simple one button design, making fast forwarding, fast reverse and photo playback a breeze. There's also an integrated speaker with volume control.

GoPro 3D HERO System

It's official - 3D is cool again. Thankfully we've come a long way since the days of dodgy 90s graphics and flimsy red & blue glasses but the underlying technology remains the same. However, the advancement in camera technology means that the world of 3D is now accessible to just about anyone with a couple of HD cameras and some editing software.

The 3D Hero System allows you to combine two GoPro HD Hero cameras into a single housing to record professional 3D footage while simultaneously recording in 2D. A synchronisation cable connects the two cameras, which enables them to capture videos and photos in perfect unison.

The package includes free 3D editing software - GoPro Cineform Studio - allowing you to convert 3D files into viewable footage with ease. It should be noted that the 3D Hero System is not compatible with the HD Hero 960 or standard definition cameras.

GoPro WI-FI BacPac & WI-FI Remote Combo Kit

Introducing the newest member of the GoPro family - the GoPro GoPro Wifi BacPac. One of the most highly anticipated gadgets of 2012, the lightweight, durable Wifi BacPac snaps onto the back of your HD HERO2 or HD HERO camera and delivers some truly cutting edge functionality.

The WI-FI BacPac Wi-Fi enables your GoPro camera, allowing long range (up to 900ft or 300ft with added Cameras) video remote control via the Wi-Fi Remote. The remote gives you the option to control of up to 50 cameras at once, which makes it a great accessory for shooting multi-angle footage and managing large, complex projects.

If the remote isn't 'tech' enough for you, there's also a free App available that lets you pair your smartphone, tablet or computer to act as an additional remote wherever a Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot is present. Additionally, the App will let you stream your video recording online - live - and directly to your smart-devices or computer (GoPro HD2 only).

The versatility of the Wifi BacPac is astounding; you can even record one video stream to your camera's SD card while sending a second video stream via Wi-Fi to your smart-device, computer or the Web.

The ever-growing range of accessories available for modern-day action cameras allow the humble action sport enthusiast to capture some truly remarkable footage. What was once only achievable by professional videographers can now be replicated by anyone with a modest budget and a computer; so get out there and get filming!
