Poor quality Review by motorcycledeluxe.com
Rating I bought one and mounted the GoPro and when I removed it the thread snapped clean off it! Really unimpressed by the quality, it's made of cheap brittle plastic. I didn't even tighten it that much (I know there are warnings). I've now got a redundant tripod mount for the GoPro as well as an egg timer with no bell. For the money, I was expecting something that would at least take some abuse in the camera bag and was hoping to get some use out of it.
I'm really disappointed! (Posted on 6/13/12)

Outrageous experience... Review by Carlos Eduardo Miers
Rating I rent this mask for diving in St. Thomas and now that I'm seeing the pictures I definetly must have it!!! Amazing images and awesome video with audio included. The best of this camera is that the diver has its hand free, you need just to look at ir and snap it. Perfect. I strongly recommend it. (Posted on 6/13/12)

Robero Review by Robero
Rating I have a sandisk 4gb ultra class 6 that I can shoot 22 fmares in rapid succession before slowdown. I have a sandisk 8gb class 6 extreme that I can shoot 32 fmares in rapid succession before slowdown. With the PNY class 10 I can only shoot 18 fmares in rapid succession before slowdown. I would think a class 10 should out perform a class 6 but it didn't happen. (Posted on 6/2/12)

So Far So Awesome Review by Brake
Rating I've had the Drift Powerpack for a few months now and over the last two weekends have finally had perfect oportunities to use it. Once at an east coast paddle symposium and then on a multi-day kayak/camping trip. I used the powerpack to charge multiple devices, primarily 2 GoPro2s and an Olympus camera, and definatley had more than enough charge left to charge some friends devices (cameras, iphones etc.). It also charges these devices pretty quickly, faster than plugging them in at home IMO. No other similarly purposed device, that I had researched, seemed to stand up to what the Drift Powerpack offered. I have to say I've been more than happy with it. So far so...Awesome.

Great for Underwater! Review by Hook
Rating Shot my last dive trip with the GP mounted on the X Shot. This allows you to get nice and close to things and also allows you to simulate zoom as you extend your arm out. You can also get pretty close to the critters without spooking them too! Drill a few small holes near the bottom to allow sea water to drain and wash after each dive. This hold up extremely well and I highly recommend it! Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwXJF8qgFXo (Posted on 5/23/12)

Don't Let Your GoPro Camera GoNaked! Review by Mountain Guide
Rating Recently I purchased the XSories Hooded Silicon Cover to integrate with the GoPro Hero2 camera w/ LCD Backpack.
I work as an off-road & snowmobile mountain guide & marketing manager, ski patrol member and R&D test rider for various product lines; so each and every day is another adventure waiting to be filmed... When I leave in the mornings, I always check for the basics: keys, wallet, phone, GoPro camera. These days, my GoPro unit doesn't leave the house unless the XSories Hood is on it.
The cover provides extra thermal protection & consequential extended battery life on my cold days in the snow; dust & impact protection from drops, rocks & machine vibration and best of all, I am able to view the LCD screen with ease in the brilliant sunshine we get all year long in the Nor Cal & Nev mountains.
The silicon material used in the making of this product is incredibly resilient to pulling, stretching and tearing. I does take a bit of a stretch to get it over the multiple angles and edges of the GoPro camera/LCD Backpack combination, but it always goes on and never rips! Keep in mind this does make it a slightly more laborious task of getting back in to change batteries, SD's and downloading. It also washes up easy in the sink with a little soap and water if you get down and dirty with your filming.
Another little side benefit is the how much of a conversation piece it has become; everyone asks what kind of camera it is, where do you get it, etc. etc. (don't worry guys, I send them directly to your pointofviewcameras.com site every time!) I opted for the Henry Ford black cover; it makes the whole set-up look super-stealth and high-end. Coupled with the GoPole Grenade Grip, this makes your GoPro HD a powerful tool to throw in your pack for the day and bring your adventures back home to the world!
Get it today, don't let your GoPro camera GoNaked anymore! (Posted on 5/13/12)
