20Nov Tehkron Gopro hero 3 Cage Pro – A Blunt Review

The Tehkron Cage pro showed up this morning. I forgot I had preordered this thing after seeing it on twitter a few months ago. For those of you not familiar with the Tehkron Cage pro, it’s basically a hero 3 cage that allows you to power and charge your hero 3 with standard Canon LP-E6 […]

15Nov Gopro Hero 3 black edition dwindling inventory

It was around this time last year that I picked up a Gopro hero 3 black edition. I don’t do any extreme sports and I don’t often jump out of plains so I wasn’t sure how much I would really use this little guy. Surprisingly it’s been a major benefit as a POV cam during […]

10Sep Metal Gopro Hero 1/4 20 tripod mount

Scouting around on ebay, I came across this metal 1/4 20 Gopro adapter (on the right). There really isn’t anything wrong with the Plastic adapter (on the left), but the metal adapter is machined from a single piece of aluminum and feels pretty nice. It took a week or so to ship from China and […]

03Sep Gopro hero 3 Black edition price drop to $329

More and more companies are entering the action cam market and a lot of them like Garmin’s Virb Elite, are offering more features at a lower price. It looks like Gopro is responding to the competition with a price drop on the Hero 3 Black edition. Last week the price on Amazon quietly dropped from […]

29Aug Gopro Hero 3 Combat Cage

I backed the kickstarter campaign for the Gopro Hero 3 Combat Cage awhile back. It’s a nice cage for the Hero 3 and there are lots of mounting points, but I’m feeling a little burned. The kickstarter was for $110 and now that it’s been backed you can find the cage on B&H and on ebay […]

It also adds video playback and sharing for mobile devices. The update is also supposed […]

24Apr Hero 3 Protective slip on lens protector

If you need to use the microphone port or HDMI port on the Gopro hero 3, you’ll have to use the naked case which doesn’t provide any protection for the lens. If you are like me you’ll still be exposing the hero 3 to danger even if you aren’t planning to dunk it under water. While the hero […]

12Apr Gopro Hero 3 Aluminum Cage

I’ve already signed up for the Kickstarter Gopro Hero 3 cage, but Redrock Micro’s offering does look pretty nice. They are calling this the “Cobalt Cage” and I had a chance to play around with it for a bit at NAB. The fit and finish looks great and the price isn’t too bad at $99. […]

31Mar HERO 3 Black Edition USB audio adapter cable test

Here’s a quick test of the USB to 3.5mm adapter cable for the Gopro Hero 3. The waterproof housing for the Hero 3 doesn’t allow access to the usb port so for this video I simply set it on top of my field monitor. The wireless mic is set to the same output level as I use […]
