Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Camera That Started a Movement
Born from a passion to capture your adventures from your perspective, the completely redesigned HERO3: Editions line of cameras are the most advanced GoPro cameras, ever.
Versatility
Unprecedented Durability
Shockproof and waterproof to 197' (60m), and proven in heavy surf from Tahiti to Northern California and everywhere in between, GoPro cameras can handle it thanks their highly engineered polycarbonate exoskeletal housing. Ready for action—from scuba diving to dirt track racing, and tough enough to take a spin across the asphalt or launch into space, GoPros are built to take a beating and keep filming. Replacement lens kits and housings are available, so there’s little worry while going for glory—even while diving with sharks.
Wear it. Mount it. Love it.™
GoPro mounts enable you to capture a fully immersive experience of your most exciting moments while ensuring your camera is securely attached and with you for the ride. Helmets, poles, boards, vehicles—and even yourself—whatever you’re into, there’s a GoPro camera mount that will help you get the perfect angle and POV for your most epic adventures. The HERO3 comes with a few basic mounts to get you started.
HERO3: The Most Advanced GoPro, Ever.
Camera Features
Smaller, Lighter...Better
Weighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than previous models.
2X Faster Video Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema-quality video at 2X the resolution and 2X the frame-rate of previous models while delivering 2X better low light performance. Slow-motion aficionados and industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black Edition's 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video modes while those desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 2.7KP-30 fps and 4KP-15 fps (Protune only) video modes.
3X Faster Photo Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition's photo performance is 3X improved, now boasting 12MP burst capture at a staggering 30 frames per second with 2X better low light performance compared to previous models. Still Photo and Time-lapse Photo modes remain the same but are now joined by a new Continuous Photo mode that captures continuous 12MP stills at a steady 3, 5, or 10 photo-per-second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.
Improved Sharpness, Less Distortion
The HERO3's reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens combines with user-selectable Ultra-wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to deliver more perspective-capture options than ever before. Add the totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning image sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the most powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.
Redesigned Audio System
Understanding that sound quality is as important as image quality, GoPro engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at capturing the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's already famous wind-noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of your passion, be it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind during high speed activities.
Built-in Wi-Fi
Built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Remote Included)The HERO3 Black Edition features built-in Wi-Fi and includes GoPro's Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available as a $79.99 accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition. The Wi-Fi Remote is waterproof, wearable and can control up to 50 Wi-Fi-enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600'. The HERO3's built in Wi-Fi means it can also be controlled by iOS smartphones and tablets running the GoPro App.
Protune™—Powerful Control for Professionals

Notes
- Extreme cold temperatures may decrease battery life. For use in these conditions it is suggested to keep camera in a warm place prior to use.
- To maximize HERO3 battery life when shooting longer duration activities, it’s is best to use camera with LCD Touch BacPac turned off or unattached altogether. Turning off Wi-Fi will also help conserve power.
- Using protune mode will increase power consumption. May vary per mode and camera edition.

When you first hold one in your hand, you'll be surprised at how small the camera really is - I mean the pictures don't do it justice. It's about as big as two key fobs put together! Its amazing that so much performance can be crammed into such a little product. But it can and it works fantastically!
I purchased this Black Edition specifically because I wanted the capability to have a higher frame rate in 1080p and 780 (up to 60fps in 1080 and a whopping 120 in 780!), capability to do 30fps in 12MP camera mode and because of the WiFi remote that comes with it. First, I'll mention the remote. The remote is great, especially to mount to your motorcycle, your wrist, or anything while the camera is mounted in an inaccessable or incovenient area (something as simple as mounting it on a helmet can make it a worthwhile accessory). However, since GoPro now has an app that can control the camera through your WiFi enabled device, it all but makes the remote obsolete (except in extreme cases where it is better to have the small remote). The remote works good though it takes some practice to get a hang of the using the buttons (but so does the camera).
The Black Edition is a must have for anyone that will actually use higher frame rates and actually produce, whether amatuer or professional videos. I am very much an ametuer on video level but having the capability to record what some of the very best (and very expensive) cameras in the world do in such a small, practical device is simply amazing (and reassuring that it'll be relavent for at least a few years). It allows you to record cinema-quality video in a tiny little device. Depending on the setting, you can also take photos simultaneously with video (for an excellent time-lapse video, too).
The only thing I and some people will be dissapointed with is the battery. I've only used it for up to an hour of video and stills, but it quickly approaches low battery in a matter of no time, especially when using WiFi (I suggest only using WiFi when focusing using the app or when absolutely necessary when using the remote to control the camera). The optional battery that plops on the back of the GoPro will likely extend the battery enough to make it useful where longer shooting times are necessary (for me, motorcycle trips are a prime instance). If GoPro figures out a way to have a waterproof case that can accept a charger for constant use, I'll be all over it.
With that said, if it weren't for the amazing capabilities as far as imaging goes above the Silver, I would have, and recommend for most people, the Silver Edition GoPro. But you won't be disappointed by spending an extra $100 (at the time of this review) on this Black Edition!
Pros:
Huge range of movie quality settings
Useful 30fps max still image burst rate
Remote and app control
Top-notch video and photo quality
Good range of accessories
Cons:
Supplied software a little limited
Built-in microphone is overly directional
The GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is a small but tough camera and camcorder designed to be used in the harshest of conditions. If you've ever watched the Deadliest Catch you'll know the astonishingly exacting the conditions it is filmed in are. Can you guess what they use to film? That's right it's GoPro cameras. That's how tough they are.
As the flagship product in the GoPro range, the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition has a number of upgrades over its cheaper siblings. First and foremost, the big addition for the Black Edition package is the supplied Wi-Fi remote control that lets you control the camera – handy if the camera itself is attached to a helmet or anywhere else that might make reaching the buttons tricky. We’ll deal with the set-up and operation of the remote in more depth later on, but for adventurous souls looking to mount their camera somewhere they cannot physically reach it, the Wi-Fi remote is sure to appeal.
In addition to the supplied Wi-Fi remote, the Black Edition also has a beefed-up, higher resolution 12MP camera. By way of comparison, the Silver Edition gets an 11MP snapper, while the entry-level White Edition only gets a 5MP sensor. In addition to the full 12MP, the Black Edition also shoots at 7MP and 5MP if needed.
Perhaps more useful to the camera’s target audience is the Black Edition’s 30fps maximum burst rate. This is considerably higher than both the Silver Edition’s 10fps and the White Edition’s 3fps. It’s a useful advantage because, in the fast-moving world of adrenaline sports, the ability to fire off 30 consecutive shots is much more likely to bag you exactly the shot you want.
For those who don’t require quite so much speed, the Black Edition has 3fps, 5fps and 10fps continuous shooting speeds, too. Last but not least the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition has a time-lapse mode, where the camera can be set to shoot at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60-second intervals. It all adds up to plenty of scope and flexibility.
Of course, the majority of people looking to purchase a Hero3 will probably be much more interested in its video capabilities than its still image prowess, and here again the Black Edition enjoys a distinct advantage over its two supporting models. While the Silver and White editions support a maximum resolution of 1080p at 25fps, the Black Edition can capture 1080p Full HD video at 50/48/25fps in PAL mode (60/48/30fps for NTSC capture). Furthermore 720p recording can be captured at 100/50fps (120/60fps for NTSC), which enables smooth slow-motion playback of high-def movies – something neither the Silver or White editions are capable of.
The Black Edition also supports 4K capture at 15fps, or 4K Cinema at 12fps.
Alternative video settings include:
1440p at 48/25/24fps (48/30/24fps for NTSC)
2.7K at 25fps (30fps for NTSC)
2.7K Cinema at 24fps
960p at 100/48fps
WVGA capture at 240fps.
If you’re into extreme sports and are looking for a camcorder/still image camera that you can strap to your person to capture the action with, irrespective of whether it’s in the water or on dry land, then the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is currently best option on the market.
The remote control, along with the GoPro smartphone/tablet app for Android and iOS, only adds to the overall versatility of the Black Edition, making it a fantastic piece of kit at a very reasonable price.
Top reviews from other countries
There is a lot of accessories to attach the camera to practically anywhere.
I recommend it to any person who wants to record amazing moments doing any sport!
Ich war sehr skeptisch, ob diese Kamera auch wirklich meine Wünschen gerecht werden würde. Klar, als Action-Cam war sie mir durchaus schon bekannt und nicht selten habe ich auf Youtube wirklich grandiose Filmchen gesehen, die angeblich mit einer GoPro gedreht worden sind. Dennoch war ich weitgehend skeptisch und vermutete hinter den Aufnahmen oftmals andere, teurere Kameras. Daher wollte ich die Qualität der GoPro (Hero 3 Black Edition Outdoor) endlich einmal selbst testen. Hier die Liste meiner Eindrücke:
+ Die Cam verfügt nur über drei Knöpfe! Die Bedienung ist daher weitgehend selbsterklärend. Falls es doch einmal Probleme geben sollte, dann gibt es online eine gefühlte Million von "Nachschlagewerken", die einem in jeder Situation schnell und zuverlässig weiterhelfen können. Bei mir ging es konkret darum, wie man das Piepgeräusch ausschalten kann, welches beim Drücken der Knöpfe ab Werk eingestellt ist. Problem gegoogelt und keine zwei Minuten später war es auch schon aus der Welt geschafft. Das spricht nicht nur für die einfache Bedienung der Cam selbst, sondern auch für eine grundsolide Community, in der man sich schnell und einfach über das Gerät informieren kann.
+ Videoaufnahmen: Schlichtweg grandios. Ob im Wasser, an Land oder in der Luft - die Bildqualität ist (in der höchsten Auflösung mit "Fischaugen-Effekt") einfach nur grandios für eine Kamera, die nur halb so groß ist wie eine Schachten Zigaretten. Ich war schwer beeindruckt.
+Bilder: Natürlich bekomme ich mit der EOS bessere Aufnahmen hin. Wer aber beispielsweise bei 40°C und bei 85% Luftfeuchte durch Port Louis marschiert, der hat gerne ein kleines, kompaktes und leichter Gerät bei sich, das zudem auch verwertbare Bilder schießt. Und genau dieses Anforderungsprofil trifft vollumfänglich auf die GoPro zu: Die Bilder sind wirklich herzeigbar und nicht wenige haben wir inzwischen auch in Fotobücher mit aufgenommen, obwohl zwischenzeitig auch mit viel besserem Equipment fotografiert wurde.
+Verarbeitung: Das Case ist fabelhaft verarbeitet. Die Cam ist mir schon öfter runtergefallen, ohne dass sich dadurch irgendwelche Probleme ergeben hätten. Beim Tauchen war sie bis 35m wasserdicht, sodass angenommen werden kann, dass die Angabe von 60m prinzipiell zutreffend ist.
+Updates: Gehen schnell und einfach per drag&drop. So hat man binnen kürzester Zeit die neueste Firmware auf dem Gerät.
+App: Sehr cooles Gadget, welches das fehlende Display ersetzt. Durch den von der Cam erzeugten Hotspot wählt man sich einfach mit dem Smartphone ein und kann somit beinahe in Echtzeit (Verzögerung ca. bei 1 Sekunde) Bilder von der Cam streamen oder bereits gemachte Aufnahme anschauen.
+Zubehör: Ist zwar einiges dabei, aber ich habe bisher eigentlich nichts davon gebraucht oder verwendet. Schade ist nur, dass das wirklich nützliche Zubehör inzwischen sogar zu einer Art Cash Cow für die Hersteller geworden ist, mit der sie ihre Kunden geradezu melken. :-(
Fazit:
----------------
Tolle Action-Cam, die alles mitmacht und (vor allem!) auch alles aushält. Ich würde die GoPro wirklich jederzeit wieder kaufen und bin wirklich beeindruckt von der Qualität der Bilder und Videoaufnahmen, die diese Cam abliefert. Robust und mit vielen Features in den Einstellungen - ein treuer Begleiter für jeden Urlaub!
Klare Kaufempfehlung vom Technik-Laien!
2- Viene sin cargador, así que la única manera de cargar la cámara es mediante el cable que conectas entre PC y cámara (se carga mediante el PC, tarda entre 2 y 4 horas, con cargador he leído que entre 1 y 2h).
3- Las instrucciones vienen en inglés y en francés, si quieres saber como funciona espavilate por internet, aunque es bastante intuitivo todo.
4- No puedes ver a tiempo real lo que grabas pero con la aplicacion movil gratuita de GoPro puedes ver con una latencia de unos 3-5 segundos lo que grabas desde tu movil o tablet.
Aunque haya puesto la mayoria de cosas malas es porque las buenas las sabemos todos, solo hay que ver videos por internet, graba increiblemente. Cosas buenas que destaque dentro de la "normalidad" respecto otros productos por ejemplo es que en la web oficial está muy bien explicado paso a paso como hacer las actualizaciones de firmware.
PD: muy importante, comprate una tarjete microSD de clase 10 como mínimo, recomendable más de 8GB, yo tengo de 64GB, me costó 54€ por amazon mismo, la cámara te sale más cara como vas viendo poco a poco entre posibles accesorios, tarjeta de memoria y si quieres una bateria de repuesto que creo que rondan los 25€/u.
Si te lo montas bien puede salirte por 100€ más de lo que cuesta la cámara en si, pero vale la pena, la Silver es la GoPro calidad/precio más asequible y aunque parezca un poco caro la verdad es que vale mucho más la pena que otras cámaras.
Rendibilidad máxima, enserio estoy muy contento, aunque nunca está de más saber de antelación que te tocará pagar más con las tonterías de tarjeta de memoria y algun que otro accesorio, por eso lo advierto antes, pero un 5/5 se lleva porque la cámara es increible y esto es el futuro, modernidad al dia :D
