Fitted onto sports cameras, GoPro accessories are made to increase the versatility of these small machines. There are three models currently or previously available, targeted towards both amateur and professional sports photographers. As is often the case, adding functionality to these cameras is done by purchasing additional products that increase the abilities the cameras have.
The models issued are called HD Heroes, with the suffixes 'professional', 'original', and '960'. This is also the order of price from most to least, as well as functions. There is video and still photo ability on all of the options, but there is more than a two-fold increase in megapixels on the highest-quality camera compared to the other two.
Because these cameras are intended to be small and light for the purpose of toting along on sports outings, some of the parts that normally included on the camera are detachable and sold separately. One of these offerings is the LCD screen, which is present on most digital cameras these days. It allows the user to see what they are taking a picture or video of, instead of using the eyepiece.
For the original and professional models, there is an additional battery 'backpack' that can be attached to your camera. This device adds to the length of time you can use the camera, increasing it to double the usual 2.5 hour battery life of both models. This can be an important boost for a sports camera, which is often used when the photographer is out and about.
An interesting device that is coming soon is the Wi-Fi backpack. This hooks onto the camera and attaches to a remote control that the photographer uses to work it. It also interfaces with a smartphone or computer so that you can see what you are taking pictures or video of. If you want to go underwater, look no further than the dive housing, good for up to 197ft underwater.
If you want to get some interesting footage of your favorite sport or site in 3D, the HD Hero can do that for you. Or rather, if you have two of them, they can do that for you. The two cameras fit into a housing that positions their lenses an appropriate distance apart, and allows them to take both 2D and 3D footage. The system comes with a special 3D video editor, too.
GoPro accessories add to the functionality of the cameras they are designed to attach to. While keeping the cameras themselves small and light, the additional battery pack and LED screen add life and precision to the cameras when necessary. Diving is no problem with a dive case, and you can even take exciting 3D footage of your favorite sport.
