No more shooting the sky, helmet, or ground for 2 hrs (unless you want to)
  
This review is from: GoPro LCD Bacpac (Electronics)
If you use a helmet cam, you know you are paying for a specialty item.
When you buy accessories for a specialty item, you tend to pay more as well.
So, no strikes on the price. I knew what I was getting and the cost is fair.

The Key benefits
1. You CAN see what you are aiming it. Get the right shot, the first time.
2. It allows full text viewing of all your menu items instead of the cryptic lettering on the front
3. You can set the auto-off. It will go off after XX seconds and not use battery after.
4. You get a a bunch of housings, that if bought separately would be nearly the cost of the LCD.

Used it on a snowmobile ride recently where branches and other assorted issues cause the top helmet mount to be out of wack. Super easy to turn on the LCD, repoint the camera, and turn it off again. Worth its weight in gold for on-the-fly adjustments without having to pull the card or rig up some external viewer. Worth every cent if you do sports that leave the camera exposed or with the potential to not get the right framing.

Drawbacks:
1. Can be hard to see in overly bright days.
No strikes due to this for me. I can still see it well enough, it does it's job.

The perfect add on for a Go-Pro camera!
  
This review is from: GoPro LCD Bacpac (Electronics)
I found the LCD screen to be quite clear even though it is small. This BacPak does add about 1/2" of additional bulk to the camera, so if weight or size is an issue, then it can be easily removed and used with out.

What I really like about it is that the menu system displays now on the BacPac LCD in real words instead of only those cryptic letters on the front LCD screen That is a big plus in my opinion!

As far as battery life, the screen can easily be shut off in order to conserve battery life.

I really do like the flexibility of now being able to view pictures and videos immediately instead of having to wait to access a computer. This can make a BIG difference between getting the shot you are looking for instead of a shot of the sky or ground!

As a final comment, make sure you install the new firmware BEFORE trying to use the BacPak. Instructions are easy to follow and are available on [...]

Not always needed, but very cool when it is
This review is from: GoPro LCD Bacpac (Electronics)
Most of the time I'm using my GoPro, I only use the LCD for setting up shots or shot angles, but I always use it when I'm handheld shooting. You know what you're framing and can quickly adjust to get some really cool perspectives. Unless I'm handheld shooting, I usually set it to turn off a minute after the last button press in case i forget to turn it off myself. You can also adjust the brightness if you need to. I wind up using it a bunch to review pictures and videos too. It has a speaker, so you can hear the audio track. For whatever reason, most of my friends dig the instant gratification of checking out something that just happened, and now we can do just that.

Useful addition to camera
While it would have been nice for this to be much thinner and come with the GoPro Hero 1080p, the fact that it can be added makes it a no brainer.

Must have add on
This is a great item for your gopro. It makes adjusting, setup, and reviewing video so easy. If you use your camera a lot you will be real glad you got this.
by Louie

Use this all the time
I use the LCD screen a lot. It makes the GoPro so much easier to use in so many ways. The big thing is the menu system is much easier to use with this attached.
by snowboarder

Works well but might be a waste of money
I love the camera. I use it to video all my personal dives and work dives. (I dive for the State Police) I figured I would need the LCD to see what I was filming.

Finally a display for my Gopro
It is a must have item if you have a Gopro camera. The only good way to review Gopro videos and pictures on the run.
