GoPro cameras from Woodman Labs are not that expensive but many iPhone 4 owners are buying them because it turns the smartphone into a very reliable substitute for a POV camera. Adventure seekers will love this piece of news because GoPro might already have this in stock. It was noted in early October of 2011 that Woodman Labs is working on ways on how to turn your iPhone into a POV camera. The action case as people from the lab call it is a shockproof case that makes it possible for the iPhone 4 to be mounted through GoPro.

GoPro offers the world’s most versatile cameras. These cameras are waterproof, shockproof and are of course great for adventures. The brand offers professional cameras, the most well-known of which is the HD Hero.

According to the blogosphere, the action case has built in shock pads to protect your iPhone 4S. The material is a polycarbonate plastic but it is not waterproof according to makers Bajza and Ozawa. The two said in an interview however that they are working on a fully submersible case for the iPhone 4. This is very good development especially for a smartphone that is deemed to be quite fragile and this means that GoPro is going the extra mile to make the case a good buy for iPhone 4S users.

Analysts say however that this is a bad time for GoPro to be selling such an accessory because of the imminent release of the iPhone 5 next year. Many are hopeful though that this piece of product is a good thing for the millions of iPhone 4S users allover the globe because they no longer have to buy a separate camera for their adventures. If you would like to get a professional helmet camera however, the GoPro HD Hero camera is a good choice.
