Smaller, lighter and 2X
more powerful, again.
Wi-Fi
enabled HERO3: Black Edition. No expense was spared during its
development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter
and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear
mountable, waterproof to 197' (60m), capable of capturing
ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video and
12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second, the HERO3: Black
Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro
App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote make the HERO3:
Black Edition all the more versatile, still.
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 (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 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*.
The GoPro App enables full camera control and scene preview on any
compatible iOS smartphone or tablet. * A software update for your
HERO3 camera is required before using the GoPro app.

Notes
1.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.
2.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.
3.Using protune mode will increase power consumption. May vary per
mode and camera edition.
Audio
• Mono, 48kHz, AAC compression w/ AGC
• Supports optional 3.5mm stereo mic adapter **
Storage
• Memory: Not all Class 10 microSD cards have the same data
write speeds. If you plan to shoot in 4K, 2.7K and Protune™
video modes with your HERO3: Black Edition camera, we recommend
using one of the following microSD cards for the best
performance:
• Lexar 32GB SDHC 600x (sold here)
• Lexar 64GB SDXC 300x
• Delkin 32GB SDHC
• Delkin 64GB SDXC
• Samsung 64GB SDXC
• With the camera software update released July 29, 2013,
using other microSD cards with your HERO3: Black Edition camera
while shooting in 4K, 2.7K and Protune video modes may result in a
reduction of the data stream rate at 45Mb/sec to 35Mb/sec.
