Note: I received a Best Buy gift card for writing this post. Opinions are, as always, 100% my own.
The minute I saw the new GoPro Hero+ LCD at Best Buy, I started thinking back to all the times I wish I’d had one. Like when I was riding on the back of a Harley Davidson through Joshua Tree National Park. Or when we were up in a hot air balloon in Scottsdale. Or my son’s recent dive in the tank at the Aquarium of the Pacific. (Yes, the GoPro Hero+ LCD has waterproof housing.)
Luckily, this new camera launches at Best Buy — the only place we buy our electronics — right in time for Father’s Day. That gives me a great excuse to buy one “for Michael.”
What I especially love about the GoPro HERO+ LCD is not only the fact that you can capture once-in-a-lifetime moments but that you can then relive them on the spot with the LCD display and share them immediately with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. Connecting to the GoPro App enables you to preview your shots, gives you total camera control and provides easy content sharing.
Imagine being able to get great shots like this one, above. Wow! The GoPro HERO+ LCD shoots 1080p60 video and 8MP photos.
Best Buy has a couple of great offers, which make this the best and easiest Father’s Day gift ever:
· Free $50 Best Buy Gift Card with purchase of the GoPro HERO4 Silver (Sku 8374096) or GoPro HERO4 Black (Sku 8374078). Valid 6/7-6/20
· GoPro HERO+ LCD (Sku 6954009) with free 32GB Extreme Plus memory card (Sku 9387066). Valid 6/14-6/20
I can pretty much guarantee that, if you give the GoPro HERO+ LCD for Father’s Day, you’ll be a hero yourself. Just keep the camera ready to record his reaction.

That’s a pretty good looking camera that takes pretty, good looking photos. What a great item for people who take adventures — away from home or in their backyard. Great timing for summer vacation.

I have been wanting a Go Pro for our upcoming trip to a water park. I will have to go to Best Buy and check this out.
Cheryl Nicholl says
I was just thinking about cameras today and with Father’s Day coming up- this just might fill both bills. Thanks!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I have been asking for a Go-Pro for a while now. I have a birthday coming up next month and I am hoping to get one then 🙂
Nancy Hill (@Nerthus) says
Oh I wish! I have to use every extra penny to go to Chicago and buy a wedding dress for my daughter’s wedding next year. But by next year and before the wedding, maybe, definitely on the list or “want by the wedding!”
Doreen McGettigan says
I need a new camera so bad. I love your way of thinking. Maybe I should get one for ‘John.’ 🙂
That picture is just awesome.
Ruth Curran says
We loved our Go-Pro in the underwater housing until someone on a dive boat opened the latch without us knowing and put it back in the water…. Time for a NEW one and this one looks perfect. Yes, Dan will totally love it and I will love the $50 gift card :)! Thanks so much!

I keep hearing folks mention Go Pro when discussing photography but I never knew exactly what it was (beyond being a camera). Thank you so much for the enlightenment… and for the new addition to my birthday wishlist!

I didn’t know they had a waterproof housing. That is so cool I have always wanted one. My kids will be zip lining next week and this would come in pretty handy!

I would love to get this for my husband for his birthday and/or Father’s Day, both this month.
Pam says
I have heard nothing but great things about the GoPro and would love one of these for myself. I will have to talk to my kids and see what they think about gifting this to their Dad this Father’s Day. I think he would love it too.
