Just for those with a GoPro HD camera, the LCD screen is now available. It comes with extra cases to allow it to be on full time and both open and closed doors.

Here's the link

Finally - I asked for this a year ago.
Shame now as I have cameras coming out of my ears.
Now have 2 x still cams, 2 x bike cams a flip HD, a divemask cam and various phone cams......

All I ever asked for was an HD waterproof cam that did not look stupid, and had an LCD.....

Yeah, I saw that too. There's a website that is selling them for US$65 with free shipping to the US. Now, who knows someone in the US?

Or who has that forwarding service? Buy you some :drinkup:

Yeah, that Drift camera looks like a pretty good all round package cos it has the external mic jack and an LCD screen, but since I've already got the GoPro HD...

This would help when setting up the camera on the bike at the start of the day.

Get it off ebay. You can get a Go Pro HD for about $200 bucks less than what trademe or any other store is charging.

Ebay has the LCD Bacpac for less than $160 NZD shipped

I could get my dad to pick one up since he ends up in LA every other week :yes:

Edit: Never mind he said he's on holiday for a few weeks now...
