I'm a bit confused about the critical review. Is the backpac design for use with the hero 3+ or not? Why would they sell something that can't be use

Apparently you can use it with out the housing ? I normal every day use you want this thing to be impact resistant , water proof etc. It a mystery to me why the even make this thin !

It is compatible, you just have to use the right housing when you have the LCD attached, mine just work great

There is no reason or use, it is the exact model of the 3+ hero case, it looks professional and classy with the Matt black finish.

the actual cameras themselves are the same size. its just the housings that are different. my gopro hero 3 fits just fine and considering the fact that the hero 3+ housing is smaller, i would say it would fit in this case!

Yeah, this is the 3+ housing. Which fits your old HERO 3. I got rid of the old bulky housing and got the new 3+ housing for my 3 and didnt bother getting a 3+. Though now I have a 4. Which also fits this housing! All good.

This mount works for the remote provided by GoPro with the Hero 3+. I use it on my motorcycle. The only problem is that when the remote is installed in this mount you cannot plug it into a power source to recharge. You have to remove it from the mount to recharge it.

I have a Hero 3 Black, and it fits fine. The direction you put the case in makes a difference though, so you might need to play with it. Also the case has to have the attachments taken off.

Well the same USB port to charge is the same as the mic on the Hero 3+ so you are right... You can do either one or the other. If you need more battery life, get the battery expansion kit.

I bought it to use while in Europe last April. I'm sure it works very well. Instead, though, I bought the simple Op-Tech hand strap to carry my (heavy) camera in one hand. I was only walking, though, and that option probably wouldn't be sufficient for someone hiking who needs to use his/her hands. In practice, it slides well into place and is well made. I also bought the extender straps. BTW: I believe Op-Tech has lost the patent on the device through some (I suspect) patent troll. If you want one and they're still available you'd better act. I'm afraid that when they run out, they'll be out. I bought it to use while in Europe last April. I'm sure it works very well.

Comparable? It's a pole and the hero 3 is a camera, so no but it's compatible as meant to have the gopro on it. That's what it's for.

Yes, it does work with the HERO3 and 3+. You just can't adjust the settings with the back pack, you have to do that with the shutter and menu button. But It DOES work...... and it is the same size as the newer touch model.

I have a Hero 3+. It fits the Dive housing (which is the same as for the Hero 3) and there is an adapter to fit the stock Hero 3+ housing.

I had this on my Hero 3 and work perfect to point exactly where i want to take the picture or the video; specially while scuba diving or riding my bike. But you are right if you have your phone, probably do not need it; just remember, exist a few seconds delay of the image when using your phone app.

This will not fit the newer low-profile cases. This will only fit the larger hero 3 version case, the ones with the lens screws on the front

I have seen some people do a review and side by side comparison of the Hero3 and Hero3+ and state they have the exact same size

Hi Bonnie, Since the GoPro 3+ is about 20% smaller than the 3, you should actually have more space around the camera in it's compartment. I am guessing that if you have the LCD Touch BacPac with the co back, it should be held in place by the cover padding.

You need to check with the manufacturer. Specifically recommended for the GoPro Hero 3 is works fab!

I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3. The Hero 2 did great photos but you have to reach up on top of your helmet or if mounted on your bars, reach up and press the button on top. The Hero 3 comes with the remote control built in, and you can have that on the tank bag, etc. and it solves the problem. I took over 200 "video clips" and there were times I was never sure if the camera was running or not. The Hero 2 is cheaper but if you add the remote to it, you're getting close to the cost of a Hero 3 anyway. Go with the newer technology, buy the Hero 3. IMHO. ;-) I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3.
