GoPro's top-of-the-line action cam gets a bit better with the Hero3+ Black Edition

2013-12-13
hey there i'm josh golden was seen it and if there's a company that defines the actioncam market it's go pro and last year its hero 3 black edition was definitely a big step forward for the company and although not without issues it turned out some great video for 2013 the hero 3 plus builds on that success improving things like Wi-Fi and battery life and adding some shooting features to keep the Black Edition as a leader in the category the design is still the same though you now get a smaller lighter and consequently less waterproof housing the controls are the same for better or worse and the ports and battery size are the same too now a big issue with all action cams really is battery life and gopro now claims up to two hours but that's with Wi-Fi often recording at 1080p at 30 frames per second your mileage may vary of course and you'll probably still want to buy extra batteries Wi-Fi performs better with the GoPro app giving you less delay with the preview and the app is also the best way to make setting changes because navigating with the onboard controls or the included Wi-Fi remote can be frustrating there are a couple other additions like an auto low-light option that will drop frame rate so necessary but really it's all about the video and that's still really good if you're just looking for something to upload clips to YouTube you and your bank account might be better served by something else but if video quality is most important this is it I'm Josh Goldman and that's a look at GoPros hero 3 plus black edition
