Tech – GoPro Hero 3: Black Edition
Words: Gentleman's Journal
Hailed as the worlds most versatile camera, GoPro continues to reinvent themselves, and what started off as a simple idea, has now become a worldwide phenomenon. The Hero3: Black Edition has yet again gone further resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than it’s predecessor. It really is astonishing the quality they have achieved with a camera that only weighs 2.6 ounces. The video performance is 2X the resolution and 2X the frame rate of the previous model, whilst also delivering a much better low light quality. Other improvements include a better slow-motion performance and of course the ultra-high resolution quality. All of these improvements show and create some of the most unbelievable footage for those who only have the slightest amount of filming know-how. The sharpness has been improve and the distortion reduced, thanks to the 6-element aspherical lens, which has user-selectable ultra-wide, medium and narrow options. Underwater the improved flat-lens waterproof housing creates a beautiful image and a sharpness that is quite frankly amazing.
The Built in Wi-Fi of the Hero 3: Black Edition means that filming can now be monitored from your iPad through the GoPro App, giving you complete control over everything you film. The Black Edition offers both flat and curved mounts further improving the camera’s filming versatility, and online there are a range of mounting accessories to help capture the perfect footage.
GoPro continues to develop and reinvent themselves, inspiring another generation of amateur film makers, whilst at the same time becoming the equipment of choice for those professional film makers. With this in mind and priced at only £359.99, the GoPro Hero3: Black Edition should definitely be on the wish list this year. £359.99 gopro.com
