Each of those modes has even more options deeper down. What we experienced was somewhat different.The Hero3 has five basic camera modes (selectable by scrolling through a menu on the tiny LCD screen on the front of the camera): video, photo, photo burst, time lapse, and playback. We expected that getting the Hero3 ready to go would be easy. The old Hero3 Black Edition is no longer for sale directly from GoPro (although the entry-level White Edition is available), but you can still find it at a variety of places, including Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H. It weighs only 2.6 ounces (without the waterproof case), and with the right accessories it can be attached to nearly anything without much worry of it sustaining any damage. At 1.2 x 2.3 x 1.6 inches the Hero3 is tiny. It features everything that has made the GoPro a favorite image capture device for the action sports crowd. Until recently, when GoPro released the GoPro Hero3+, the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition was top dog in the GoPro Hero kennel. As we found out, that’s not exactly how it works. The downside is that by viewing some of the now famous footage, some believe that the only thing standing between them and launching off a 40-foot-tall jump on a mountain bike, free-falling 24 miles from space, or leaping from a 2,000-foot high cliff in Norway is the GoPro Hero3 (White Edition, $200) camera. Its ultra-wide-angle lens brings the world into frame and allows people create what Woodman calls “engaging life content.” With its tiny size and amazingly high-resolution images (plus a flagship model capable of shooting 4K resolution), the GoPro Hero3 is perfect for capturing personal action and then sharing it. First, the relatively recent narcissistic need to document and share everything, and second, the “smaller is better” shrink-it-all movement.

#HERO 3 CAMERAS PORTABLE#
When GoPro founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman came up with the portable action camera concept, he tapped into two cultural zeitgeists at once. Some would argue that GoPro has done more to change the way we view action sports than any other camera manufacturer ever. Never has a camera encouraged more people to try more things than the Hero series action, point-of-view camcorders – even though the sector had existed prior to GoPro’s arrival.

The professional quality images are what have made it a hit with pro photographers and cinematographers.Since its launch in 2004 the GoPro has quickly become one of the most aspirational camcorders ever produced.
