If you get one. Please. Send me some detailed photos and I'll see if I can use my lab to reverse engineer something similar for a fraction of the cost.

It looks like it's nothing more than a PCM circuit converting 9v-30v down to 3.7v for the GoPro. I'm sure it can be built for a lot less than they are selling it for.
