GoPro HD Hero3: Teardown and Giveaway
We’ll be up to our usual shenanigans at DesignCon, which will take place in Santa Clara, California. Join our teardown specialists at 2 p.m. as we tear down the Hero3—a Wi-Fi-enabled, 4K-resolution-capable camcorder that can be submerged 197 feet underwater with its protective case. We will also have an attendee drawing for a GoPro HD Hero3: Black Edition camera at the end of the presentation.

Sonos Play:3 Teardown and Giveaway
Teardowns are like cookies: one is never enough. At DesignCon, we’ll also be tearing down a Sonos Play:3 on Wednesday at 3:35. We will have another attendee drawing, this time for a Sonos Play:3, at the end of the presentation. Don’t miss it.
