GoPro Hero 3 Edition Camcorder - Silver (11MP)

Product Information

You can also add an LCD touch screen as an option. GoPro LCD Touch BacPac is the best option. It adds an additional cost, and not a small one. The screen attaches to the camera, so it won’t fit into the standard waterproof housing. The built-in screen on the HERO4 Silver will drain the battery faster.

Superview, a GoPro video mode that captures a wider angle view and more immersive footage, is clever. The camera shoots at a four to3 aspect ratio and uses the entire height of its sensor. After that, the sides are dynamically stretched to create a widescreen 16-9 aspect ratio.GoPro has not yet revealed the size of the sensor in the Hero 3+ Silver. However, we know that the original Hero3 Silver used an even smaller 1/2.7 inch type sensor. 4K Recording Note: The Settings/Tag button is compatible with HERO4 cameras only. GoPro Smart Remote Hero4 | Hero 3+ | Hero 3 – Whats included Users wanting to capture more pixels also have the option of capturing video at 1440p (4:3 aspect ratio) at up to 48fps, 4K Cinema at 12fps, or 2.7K Cinema at up to 30fps. These ultra high resolutions are too pixel dense to be displayed on anything but the most cutting-edge monitors and the 15fps cap of 4K Cinema almost renders it useless for anything but slow, panning establishing shots, but I can see the 2.7K and 1440p resolutions being useful for users who want to have some extra pixels for image stabilization or cropping software to work with. By default, the app enables you to see a streaming preview of what the camera is seeing. While there is a short delay of about 1-2 seconds, it's a definite improvement over the last model. However, this delay is still a little annoying. Notice the absence of the terminal cover? It surfaced after a long vacation on the floor somewhere.

Not all GoPros are waterproof without a separate housing. Newer GoPro models are on their own, but older models (such as the Hero 2, Hero 3, and Hero 4) need a separate housing. Now there are some accessories that can allow GoPros to go even deeper. These are shown in the table below. Housing Another photo-centric feature worth mentioning is the Time Lapse mode, which allows all these cameras to automatically shoot photos at preset time intervals of 0.5 to 60 seconds. The Hero4 models now have Night Photo and Night Lapse modes that offer more flexibility for low-light shooting.

Touch Screen

Time Lapse video mode enables you to easily create static, time-lapse sequences. Or, using the updated TimeWarp 2.0 function, you can create moving, handheld sequences ideal for travelling over a distance, or for conveying the passage of time. A nifty new feature enables you to switch between real-time and time-lapse recording with a tap of the touchscreen – a facility that we felt actively encouraged us to get creative and inject more fun into our videos.
