GoPro HERO3 Black Edition Wearable Camera
The most advanced and versatile GoPro camera ever. The Wi-Fi enabled, HERO3 Black Edition is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous GoPro cameras. Wearable, gear-mountable and waterproof to 197', the HERO3 captures ultra-wide, fast, cinema-quality video at 2x the resolution, 2x the frame rate of earlier models and 2x better low light performance. Slow-motion fans and industry pros will love the 1080p-60fps, 720p-120fps, WVGA-240fps, 960p-100fps and 1440p-48fps video modes, and those who want a more cinematic look will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 2.7kp30 and 4kp15 video modes. Photo performance is 3x improved, now boasting a 12MP burst capture at a rate of 30 photos per second. Reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens with three user-selectable, field-of-views give you more perspective-capture options than ever before. Updated flat-lens waterproof housing delivers stunning image sharpness both above and below water. Redesigned audio system with improved wind-noise reduction captures the immersive sound of the sport and less of the wind during high speed activities. Integrated Wi-Fi is compatible with the Wi-Fi remote that controls up to 50 Wi-Fi-enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600'. GoPro App allows full camera control and live scene preview on any compatible iOS Smartphone or Tablet.Key Features:
