The GoPro HERO3 Waterproof Housing is a fantastic bit of kit, but the glass plate is completely clear
so has no fixes for colour or glare balancing.
This Polarizer filter is part of the Slim Frame glass filter line for the Hero3 Waterproof housing.
The filter easily snaps right onto the Hero3 Waterproof, Bacpac or Skeleton Housing.
This filter is made out of glass for the sharpest optics possible as well as maximum scratch resistance.
A polarizer filter is the most popular filter for photography and now you can use one with your GoPro HERO3 camera.
A polarizer is designed to reduce glare and increase color saturation leaving you with sharp, crispy, footage.
Using a GoPro without a filter in bright conditions can lead to washed out or bleached out footage and photos which are near
impossible to correct in post-production back at your PC or Mac. The theory goes, by lowering the glare and increasing the
contrast, not only will you achieve crisper and more defined images, but it's far easier to brighten these up if you need to when
editing later!
Whether shooting cinematography in the wild, filming out near or on the water, skiing and snowboarding on pistes or
jumping cliffs in the backcountry, this polarizer filter is sure to give you the best looking video possible!
(For underwater colour correction filters, you should take a look at the Red or Magenta Glass Filters below)
You will want to use your Polarising filter on bright days where sunshine will be bouncing off snow, water or other
bright surfaces. This snap-on filter is absolutely perfect for changing light conditions as you can simply pop the lens filter
on and off depending on the light and glare at the time, which is not possible with other filters that are installed inside the
lens housing. This also means you don't need any tools to fit the lens, and no modification of your Waterproof Housing is required!
Compatible only with GoPro HERO3 Waterproof, Skeleton and BacPac Housings.
NOT COMPATIBLE with the new GoPro HERO3+ smaller Housing.
