November 19, 2013 by thebeantownbaggers

After reading the review of the Go Pro Hero3 Black, you’re likely ready to go out and buy one. Questions you’ll have are: How much is it going to cost? What accessories should I buy with the camera?

These will set you back, but the price points are no different than a good headlight trim or set of […]
