GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition

GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition

Tina Turner obviously never saw the quality of video from the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition when she proclaimed that we didn't need another hero. Building off of the success of the Hero 2, the Hero 3 Black edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than its predecessor. But this isn't just the same old thing in a smaller package. The Hero 3 boasts an unbelievable level of performance, capturing high quality video at twice the resolution and twice the frame rate of the Hero 2. An improved image sensor greatly improves this GoPro's low light performance and a sharper 6-element aspherical lens delivers crisper video that you have to see to believe. The Hero 3 Black edition was made to shoot motion, boasting video modes that shoot 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48. This tiny camera can now even record in Ultra High Definition, delivering the cinematic look of 2.7K at 30fps and 4k at 15 fps! At 1080p, the GoPro Hero 3 can shoot 24 frames per second for a film look up to 60 frames for smooth slower motion playback.

If motion isn't your thing, the Go Pro Hero 3 Black Edition also acts as a still camera which takes high quality 12 megapixel still images with every press of the button. Or you can get a burst of high quality pictures at a staggering 30 frames per second. The HD Hero 3 supports time lapse photography, taking a photo every .5 second with a Class 10 speed microSD card. But what is great video without sound? GoPro has redesigned the audio system on the Hero 3 to improve wind-noise reduction and capture those subtle, natural sounds of voice and music. Encased in a durable polycarbonate exoskeleton, the Hero is built to take a thrashing. Change the open back to the included waterproof backing and the HD3 is waterproof down to 197 feet! Now with a flat lens cover on the Hero3's housing, no matter the field of view you select, there's less frame distortion than on previous GoPro models.

Gone are the Wi-Fi Bacpacs of old, as the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition now has WiFi built in! That means you can use the included Wi-Fi remote to remotely control your GoPro without ever touching it, even underwater! Or if you have an Android or iOS device, you can download an app to control the camera and preview what you're shooting. This GoPro system comes with 2 mounts that attach to a helmet, surface or piece of gear. Like its predecessor, the housing of this video camera is compatible with all other GoPro mounts, so whatever situation you want to capture video from, be it the hood of a jeep on a bumpy trail, the handlebars of a bike as you race down a mountain, or to capture the sunset from your wrist, there's a way to do it. Go out and capture the world like never before with the GoPro HD Hero 3 Black Edition Video Camera.
