Rich, I just got "The Frame" for my Hero3 from Amazon.
$40.00 list, and I paid $20.00. It's a genuine GoPro
accessory, and inside the box are TWO frames. One for a
plain Hero3, and one for a Hero3 with a "backpack". I don't have
a backpack yet, but it's nice of GoPro to include both! Also in the box
is a lens cover as the waterproof housing supplies lens protection
when the camera is installed in it, but the lens has no protection
when it's outside of the waterproof cover. Nice item to have as well!
There is also a "quick connect" attached to one of the frames with
an attachment bolt that can also be used for other mounts. One flat
adhesive mount, and one curved adhesive mount complete the
package. All in all, I feel like I really got my moneys worth on this
accessory. I also ran across a video that shows someone using one
of the LCD backpacks, and it looks to be MUCH simpler to manipulate
the camera with that than with the front panel LCD.
More info later as I find out more about the camera.............
