GoPro Hero HD LCD BackPac available for ordering!

I've spotted the fact that the long-awaited GoPro HD Hero LCD BackPac is now available for ordering. It gives much of the missing capabilities of a "normal" camera back to the GoPro HD Hero.

A) a way to check the framing of your shots!
B) a way to play back your vids/photos
C) a way to see full regular English menus instead of the shortened and cryptic commands on the small front LCD.
D) a larger speaker so that you can hear the audio better

GoPro has been very thoughtful with this kit and have included:

1 LCD BacPac screen
1 Waterproof LCD backdoor for HD HERO housing
1 Waterproof LCD backdoor for HD Wrist housing
1 Non-waterproof LCD Skeleton backdoor for HD HERO housing
1 Non-waterproof LCD Skeleton backdoor for HD Wrist housing
1 Year Warranty

This allows you to mount  your GoPro HD with the LCD BackPac installed and still use all of your mounts. This is a great addition to the lineup.

The only down size is that the GoPro LCD BackPac is not usable with the GoPro HD Hero 960 since it doesn't have the expansion connector on the back of the camera. For those with the full 1080p HD Hero, this one is a must-have!

Here are a couple of videos showing the LCD BackPac in action!
