GoPro Light Mod light is now available
GoPro has announced the $49.99 compact GoPro Light Mod, a waterproof standalone light that is rechargeable and compatible with all GoPro mounts. The light can be mounted on a GoPro or as a wearable light using existing GoPro camera mounts which are all compatible with Light Mod. For example, it can be used as a headlamp with the Head Strap, as a floating light with The Handler or a belt-light on the new Magnetic Swivel Clip. Light Mod users can choose from four levels of brightness or use the strobe mode for signaling or visibility. An included light diffuser offers an additional level of creative control, reducing heavy shadows and creating more flattering light.
Light Mod is available now in the US and rolling out globally in the coming weeks.
In addition to its standalone use with all GoPro mounts, Light Mod is the first of three HERO8 Black modular accessories designed to add functionality to the camera. Light Mod will attach to HERO8 Black via the Media Mod, a rugged wraparound frame with a built-in directional mic to capture crystal-clear audio with reduced wind and ambient noise, the company said. Media Mod also boasts an integrated 3.5mm mic port for an additional external mic and HDMI-out port to monitor or playback footage. Finally, two cold-shoe mounts allow users to mix up the placement of the Light Mod or to attach other lights, mics or LCD screens.
