If you look carefully, you’ll frequently see them at work in any number of action or “reality” TV shows.įor example, a couple of GoPro Hero2 cameras are frequently seen being used for the in-car video in “Chasing Classic Cars” and “Mythbusters”, which tells you that the video quality of the GoPro units are pretty good. Indeed, GoPro “Hero” cameras have become the de facto standard in many sports. The square design isn’t as difficult to work with in some sports as it is with motorcycling.

We’ve had mixed feelings about GoPro video cameras in the past, but the video quality coming out of these strangely square boxes has pretty much been a notch or two above the competition.

One good thing though wins out: in the end, the stunning video quality from the Hero3 trumps the yestertech hardware design! Which begs the question: Why isn’t a live view standard on a $400.00 camera?Īnd without the BacPac (even with it, for that matter), the menu system is just as cumbersome as ever.

The square shape of the Hero3, despite being marginally smaller than its predecessor, is still difficult to successfully mount on a motorcycle helmet.Īt least the legacy design allows the older GoPro BacPac live view with its deeper cover to fit on the new Hero3. It is still somewhat crippled by its legacy form factor.įor example, it requires the bulky GoPro waterproof housing with the proprietary “fork” mount. The Hero3 Black Edition has the best video quality by far of any motorcycle video camera we’ve reviewed. In fact, we named it our Motorcycle Action Camera of the Year for 2012. The Black edition comes with a Wi-Fi remote (normally a $79 accessory), a small dongle that lets you wirelessly stop and start recordings, as well as see at a glance how much charge is left on the camera.The new GoPro Hero3 delivers the goods, no doubt about it.

Additionally, the Black model can take 12-MP photos at up to 30 fps, and has pro low-light performance.
#GOPRO HERO 3 PLUS 1080P#
The top-end Black edition ($399) can shoot 1080p video at 60 fps as well as 4K video at 15 fps. It can record 1080p video at 30 frames per second, take 11-MP stills at up to 10 frames per second, and has built-in Wi-Fi. To be fair, GoPro sells a battery BacPac for $49 that should double its endurance.Ĭlick to EnlargeWe tested the Silver version of the GoPro Hero3 ($299), the company's midrange model. That's two hours less than the Drift HD Ghost, and an hour less than the Contour+2. Recording video continuously at WVGA resolution and 30 fps, the GoPro lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes on a charge. The reds and blues of ski jackets were most lifelike, and the GoPro was better at picking up individual snowflakes as they fell. We give the GoPro a slight edge over the Contour+2, as well as the Drift HD Ghost. Colors were true and saturated, details were crisp, and contrast was excellent. What's missing is a one-click video uploader for social networks.Īmong the cameras we tested, the GoPro Hero3's video quality was the best.

GoPro users can also download the free CineForm Studio, which offers some good editing tools. The app also has a "locate camera" feature, that, when activated, causes the camera to beep intermittently. The app was easy to use, and we like that you can link it to more than one camera at a time, and even turn cameras on and off remotely. Likewise, the Drift Innovation HD Ghost is an even bulkier 4.1 x 2 x 1.3 inches and 5.9 ounces.Ĭlick to EnlargeLike the Drift HD Ghost, GoPro's iOS app lets you remotely connect to and control the Hero3 via Wi-Fi (Contour's app uses Bluetooth), which means you can't use Wi-Fi for other purposes when using the camera app. By comparison, the Contour+2 measures 3.8 x 2.4 x 1.3 inches and weighs 5.8 ounces, and that's without its waterproof case.
