IMPORTANT NOTE! WE HAVE NOW SOLD OUT OF THESE HERO1 & HERO2 BUBBLE LENS FILTERS!
However, we still have plenty of stock of the square shaped HERO1 & HERO2 'Dive Housing' Lens Filters.
With a bit of DIY/modification, it is possible to create two bubble lens filters from a 'Dive Housing' filter!
Please read the 'Installation' tab for more information on this! Thanks!

 

 

 

(If you order this item, you will receive a rectangular 'Flat Lens Dive Housing' Polarising Filter so you can
make two circular bubble lens filters from it following our instructions)

 

Bring your footage to life with stunning contrast and saturation!

 

The GoPro HD HERO and HERO2 cameras are fantastic for filming HD footage and have superb automatic colour
and brightness correction built in. However when filming in bright conditions with a lot of reflective surfaces like water
snow, or clouds, the light levels can be so high that the footage is overbright and loses a lot of detail and definition.

 

To increase the quality of your GoPro videos, you can fit one of these polarising lens filters.
These help by reducing the glare/bloom caused by those highly reflective surfaces, and also
increase colour saturation and contrast to make your footage a lot more vibrant!
As well as practically eliminating all glare, these filters really make the colours pop out in your videos
without having to perform any post-process colour correction. The greatest difference is usually noticed in
the sky, becoming a pure deep blue colour, rather than the washed out near-white often seen in amateur footage.

 

There is a very good reason why professional photographers and film makers use polarising filters on a daily
basis! Now you can achieve the same great results, at a fraction of the professional cost!

 

This filter has been proven to work in almost all conditions just short of when it is dumping snow or dark and gloomy.
Glare is often present even when it is cloudy, and although the filter may darken the video slightly, it is much easier to
lighten up a slightly darker video, than trying to correct an overexposed video.
When it is Sunny or Partly cloudy it is a sure bet that this filter will help improve your video quality.

  • Polarising Filter Eliminates Glare with your GoPro HD HERO or HERO2
  • Also increases contrast and colour saturation
  • Easy fitting to any standard GoPro Outer Housing, no tools required!
  • A Non-Permanent filter, can be removed when not required
  • Recommended when filming in sunny or partially cloudy conditions

  • Official GoPro HD Outer Housing (waterproof)
  • Official GoPro Skeleton Housing (non-waterproof)
  • Official GoPro Wrist Housing
  • GoPro 3D HERO System

IMPORTANT NOTE! WE HAVE NOW SOLD OUT OF THESE HERO1 & HERO2 BUBBLE LENS FILTERS!
(If you order this item, you will receive a rectangular 'Flat Lens Dive Housing' Polarising Filter so you can make
two circular bubble lens filters from it following these instructions)

 

Instructions for making 2x circular bubble lens filters from a single 'Flat Lens Dive Housing' filter:

 

The original Polar Pro circular bubble lens filters were 21mm diameter circle shaped. This is about the size of a 1 pence piece.
The Flat Lens Dive Housing filters are rectangular sized 45x35 mm.
This means you can cut two circle shapes from the rectangle to make yourself 2x bubble lens filters!

 

 

 

Simply lay a 1p coin on the dive housing filter and carefully draw around it with a fine pen, being careful only to draw the minimum
amount you need as a cutting guide. Move the 1p coin to the opposite corner, and repeat the process.
Then carefully cut out the circle shapes, and you will have two bubble lens filters.
Using this method you can create Red, Magenta, or Polarising bubble lens filters!

 


 

INSTALLATION
To install the polariser filter, you'll need to remove your GoPro camera from the outer housing.
Then handling the filter carefully by the edges, orient the lens to the point where it appears darkest.
Place it into the lens bubble cavity in the same orientation, and tap the case gently until the filter is centred.
Then re-insert your GoPro camera and you are good to go!
Compatible with:
  • GoPro HD Housing / Outer Housing (AHDRH-001)
  • GoPro Skeleton Housing (AHDSH-001)
  • GoPro Wrist Housing (AHDWH-001)
  • GoPro 3D HERO System (AHD3D-001) (2x filters required)
Here's Polar Pro's offical how-to video on fitting the Lens Filter:

Comparison videos of footage with / without Polar Pro Polarising Lens Filter:

Due to no longer having stock of the original Polar Pro bubble lens circular filters, this pack will contain a single Polar Pro rectangular Polarising Lens Filter originally designed for the 'Flat Lens Dive Housing'.
As shown in the instructions on the 'Installation' tab, you can modify this
into two (2x) circular bubble lens Polarising filters!
