Polar Pro Venture3+

The Venture3+ is a set of three lenses for GoPro Hero3+ cameras.

Durable ABS plastic frames

The lenses are made from glass surrounded by lightweight ABS plastic frames. Each lens has a microfiber pouch to protect them when not in use and clean them before you start shooting.

Push on, pull off

The filters fit snugly on the housing included with the Hero3+ cameras. Just push one on and you're ready to go. When you're done, just pull it off.

Polarizer filter

The fixed horizontal polarizer helps reduce glare off of water or snow or really any reflective surface. It will also make landscapes look more vivid and reduce haze.

Neutral Density filter

The ND filter basically slows down the shutter speed of the Hero3+; doing so adds motion blur, helps cut down on wobble from rolling shutter, and reduces blown highlights in really bright scenes.

Macro lens

This lens allows your GoPro to focus as close as 2 inches from a subject.

All three for $60

Each one sells separately for $30, but you can pick up the combo pack for $60 direct from Polar Pro, or $50 from Best Buy's site (though it doesn't look like they're for sale just yet).

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
