The GoPro HERO3 is a fantastic bit of kit, but the lens glass is completely clear
so has no fixes for colour or glare balancing.
Also when outside the case you have no protection
against damaging the lens of the camera itself!
This Polarizer filter is part of the new Naked Filter line which slides directly onto the HERO3 camera lens.
This is only for filming when the Hero3 is outside the waterproof housing, or while in the “Frame” 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 slide-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, and you get the added benefit of protecting the camera lens glass
while using the camera outside of the protective outer housing.
Compatible only with GoPro HERO3 or HERO3+ outside a case, or in 'The Frame' mount.
NOT COMPATIBLE with the new GoPro HERO3+ smaller Outer Housing.
NOT COMPATIBLE with GoPro HERO, HERO2, Original Outer Housing with bubble lens, or the HERO2 'Dive' Housing.
