Known for its range of rugged and compact cameras, GoPro is a go-to brand which can be mounted on bikes and cars and also helmets, to shoot a paranormic view of a place. It sports one problem though - the user of the camera cannot see what they are shooting as there is no space for a screen to be incorporated in the device. The users were forced to use their phones and iPads as screens, but that was no match for a clear and handy LCD screen attached to the camera.

But this problem will soon become a thing of the past, according to NBC News, as GoPro is all set to release the Heroplus LCD screens which will be attached to the camera, making the art of videography much easier. It will obviously cost a lot more but it will also see a revamped version of the camera (a nicer silver colored model). The LCD screen will be attached at the back of the device, as per Gizmag.

This will make shooting a lot easier and will enhance the experience of getting that perfect shot. Also users can get the picture perfect shot in an easy way as they can see the composition of the shot on the screen and accordingly make changes in the compostion, as per the demands of the shot.

This touchscreen interface will let the users to trim clips on the camera, shoot videos on a frame to frame basis, and also change the recording settings without the use of a smart device. The new Heroplus LCD screen will allow the users to shoot up to 1080 pixels at 60 frames per second. In addition to this, the screen will also be protected with a water proof coating, so the users can use this in any kind of weather.

This version of the GoPro Camera, along with the Hero plus LCD screen, will hit the market next week and can be purchased for $300. It is a bit costly but the added convenience of having a screen on the camera will give a better user experience.
