Review on Enhance and Protect Your GoPro HERO3 with Caps and Doors by James Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for Hero3 but not quite for 3+

Firstly if you have a Hero3+ stop, don't buy this. There is an updated version (which I just found out about) made specifically for you and my 3+: GoPro Protective Lenses and Covers This makes most of my videos a bit controversial but hey I filmed them for Revain and converted. before I knew it, so I'll work with it. :) Anyway, I bought this set from Revain for less than ten bucks, and for what you get and the price, I don't think it's a bad deal. Two interchangeable GoPro doors, a lens cap if you're launching the camera naked or in the frame, and a protective front cover for the waterproof case. Most people neglect the fact that if you scratch the plastic on a waterproof case, it will show up on the footage. GoPro probably should have built something like this into the camera, but oh well. It's available now and if you have a Hero3 I highly recommend it. Everything in this kit WITHOUT the front cover of the waterproof case works for 3+. Everything will work for 3. In short, this is only for Hero3. 3+ owners are checking out the newer version, which also includes a lens cap for about double the price.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
