GoPro Hero3+ New Edition Black Bonus 32GB SD and Wasabi Battery $458.84 US Delivered

80

They won't ship to Au

Looks like GoPro is doing a incremental update like apple
Beware Paypal and other providers charge a conversion fee

From the front, the Hero 3+ Black looks all but identical to the Hero 3 Black. Upon closer inspection you'll see that the lens looks ever so slightly different. That's because it's been rebuilt. The new f/2.8 lens is a major improvement. Everything is much sharper than it was before. GoPro has clearly tweaked its imaging software, too, because color balance is greatly improved. Also, look at those first surf shots in the video. Despite the fact that the sun is behind me and shining directly into the camera, you can still see my face really well. That's a real improvement in dynamic range. There isn't as much image distortion or ghosting, either. GoPro claims a 33-percent improvement, though we're not sure how we'd quantify that.

There are also improvements to the optics, which GoPro claims gives a 33 percent increase in image sharpness, while reducing artifacts by a factor of two. Feature-wise there's a new 1080 "SuperView" mode which takes footage from 4:3 aspect ratio, and presents it in an immersive 16:9 view. Other improvements include a new auto-low light mode that will adjust the frame rate on the fly, revised audio internals, four times faster WiFi and wireless camera updates via your phone. Despite all of these additions, and the smaller form, it's claimed that your new GoPro will potentially offer up to 30 percent extra battery life, too.

  • This just got released yesterday?

  • Keen but never used one of these, since they don't come with a screen how do you set them up for a well framed shot? I feel like I would want to check the positioning before an important shot, so I would need the add-on screen presumably, then it's a ~$600 kit all up..

      This deal is for the HERO3+ Black, not the HERO3 Black.

    • Nm

  • Is it worth buying this or the somewhat cheaper version of Hero 3?

    • Depends on if image quality matters to you.

      • Maybe wait for some real reviews and comparisons
        For me the footage I film is priceless so image
        Quality and low light are essential

  • Just got a reply for my order from mpgear.com, apparently they are unable to ship GoPro's to Australia and are refunding orders that have been made.

    • Scumbags! Thanks for posting I was just about to sell
      My black3 now it's not worth it.
