The cinema- quality video has 2X the resolution and 2X the frame- rate of previous models delivering 2X better low light performance. The Hero 3: Black Edition’s photo performance is 3X improved, now boasting 12MP burst capture at 30 frames per second with excellent low- light performance. 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 photos- per- second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.

No expense was spared during the development of the GoPro Hero 3: Black Edition. Not only is the Hero 3: Black Edition faster, smaller, and lighter, the video imaging is sharper with less distortion, and the audio system has been redesigned. The GoPro Hero 3: Black Edition features a reduced distortion 6- element aspherical lens combined with user- selectable ultra- wide, medium, and narrow field of vies to deliver more perspective- capture options than ever before. GoPro understands that the visual is just as important as the audio; therefore, the engineers at GoPro completely redesigned the audio system for the Hero 3. The Hero 3: Black Edition is now able to capture more subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the immersive sounds of sport. GoPro also improved wind- noise reduction, ensuring that you hear more of your passion and less of the wind during high speed activities. Another upgrade from the prior model is that the Hero 3: Black Edition now features built- in Wi- Fi and comes with both the Wi-Fi Remote. 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’. Download the GoPro App for free on your iPhone or Android phone or tablet.
