GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition One Color, One Size

Got Hero 3+ Silver to replace a previous underwater camera that offed itself after one too many deeper snorkel dives. Personally, I think the Silver version provides 85% of the benefit most people will need from their Go Pro, but if you are super serious about this stuff maybe go for Black for advanced settings and higher res settings. Everyone else, save the cash - this thing rocks. First, upgrading firmware, software is pretty easy if you have basic computer skills - dont be nervous - follow website/Amazon review instructions and it will be easy, as will be wireless setup. Go Pro App is sweet - can control camera, preview, review footage all immediately on phone through wireless. Be aware though - wireless range is pretty limited - not sure but Go Pro wireless remote might have longer range - seems to based on advertising. We used this for trip to Dominican Republic, primarily for snorkeling, but also general photos and vids. Default 960p/60 fps (think its 60 fps) vid (can go to 1080p too) is awesome and the camera does pretty well in low light - adjusts quick - I placed the camera several times under a coral outcrop (get the clear Go Pole - must have accessory) and in seconds it adjusted and captured great footage. Def does better closer to object than far away in regards to detail, but as long as you dont expect super zoom type of detail, it will meet your needs. As others have noted, lens does impart somewhat of a fish eye type of effect, but nothing that made me terribly upset. 10mp pics came out nice - once again, closer to subject better. Time lapse and burst are awesome for catching the perfect shot in a dynamic situation. Housing is well made and camera and housing are durable. No problem down to 25 feet snorkeling and rated to like 90+. Antifog inserts a must for underwater or humid conditions. Battery life was excellent - I found myself able to have the camera on and filming on and off for at least an hour and then be able to review footage on phone through wireless for at least 30 min before battery gave out - get Wasabi backups and charger - seems to work just fine with Go Pro battery - charging through USB is a pain to me. Would also be nice to be able to effectively transfer stuff to PC through wireless, but at size of vids and pics easier to just remove from housing and do through USB.

I have been debating buying a GoPro for a long time. I couple years ago I decided to take the cheap alternative for my honey moon and buy a knock off GoPro which had great reviews and was only 1/3 of the price. Easily one of the worst purchases I've made on Amazon. The waterproof case broke the first time I used it making it completely worthless for what I intended to use it for (places where I could not use my phone). Naturally when I got back from my honeymoon the company had gone under making it impossible to buy a new case and making the camera worthless. This GoPro is the complete opposite of that camera. This GoPro is at a great price point for those who want to grab good video footage but don't want to break the bank on a newer/higher end model. I recently went down to Cancun for a wedding in which we sailed and went snorkeling. The GoPro did not disappoint. I took multiple hours of video and the GoPro handled it without missing a frame (get it ahahaha)(sorry bad joke). The videos came out sharp although they did need some color tune up post upload. I had zero problems with the water proof casing. I opened/closed it several times and I can confidently say that it is very well made unlike my previous purchase. Just make sure to buy some extra batteries, SD cards, and purchase the accessory pack. PROS -Very well made -Great video -Small and compact for easy carry -Easy to upload -Good battery life CONS -It's not cheaper -No LCD screen

I enjoyed the camera but sadly was only able to use it for two weeks before it was lost on a fly-away drone. In the time I had it, I enjoyed using it under water, taking time lapse video and trying out the various straps and accessories I had also purchased. I will consider a replacement but not right away as I would need to reevaluate my use case before considering a replacement.. There are other suitable and significantly less expensive cameras that I would use in the future on a drone. Here are some of the high points of the camera: + Compact size and water proof case + Okay picture/video quality (not great) + 240 FPS 720p video for slow motion (top feature for me) + 1080p 60 video + Large selection of inexpensive aftermarket mounts. + Great community to inspire new use cases Drawbacks - Wi-fi range is significantly shorter than expected; began to question the value of this feature except for initially framing a shot. - Picture quality, specifically the loss of resolution when switching from the wide mode to narrow mode. I don't care for the "fish eye" look at all but if you switch from "wide" to "narrow", the resolution goes from 12 megapixels to 5 megapixels. The photos look okay but the loss of resolution limits cropping/post editing possibilities. This is a pretty significant disclaimer in my experience. The drawbacks warrant a one star deduction. Would probably drop another half star if I could. Once I lost the camera and began assessing replacement options, I quickly discovered that there is a large copy cat market of cameras with the same form factor and many of the same features at a fraction of the cost of a GoPro. The number one feature of these cameras is the form factor and ability to go under water, which is matched by the others out there. I don't regret the purchase but to this point, I don't feel any urge to replace this camera right away. If I do, I will consider the White model. I have an extra battery and accessories so that will factor into my evaluation.

Let me begin by saying Not only do i love this but it is surprising me all the time. I will be proposing to my girlfriend tonight and you can bet that it will be there. She wont know thanks to the amazing feature of turning off all sound and lights. But its nice. The speaker is great and the image is something else. I ride dirt bikes and this is perfect for me. The camera is very durable. The wide angle lens is also something to be amazed at. You don't get very much fish-eye effect but the view can literally almost look at your feet form on top of you head. I have already use the higher frame rate for some really neat slow motion shots. I never planned on using it as just a photo camera but was actually surprised of its quality and now i use that every once in a while. I cant wait to get out on the slopes for some snowboarding this year to check out what it can do. When I start using it the first thing that I do is connect it to the Go pro app and make sure I have it set up exactly how I want it. Needless to say, if you are asking me I would tell you that you should have already clicked add to cart. Your cat does not need to eat this week/month, just do it. Imagine all of the fun you could be having right now. But instead you are wasting you time reading mindless comments from bored accounting specialists who would rather be riding.

Out of all the many cameras GoPro manufacture, this one is still the best for your money. I've been subscribed to the GoPro newsletters since I got this camera over a year ago, and not to my surprise, all of them seem to add new fluff that most people don't really need to carry around. The reason I say this is because stuff like ProTune, or Built-in LCD screen (unless you personally would benefit from it, but I don't) really are just extra things that I don't believe are necessary. Actually, if you really wanted a LCD screen, you can always get the LCD Touch BackPac for $80, no big deal. What carries from this camera are really just the essentials. - Changable Battery. I'm only just starting to see that GoPro is removing the ability to change out the battery on these cameras, and leaving it to the HERO4s. This means the cameras like the HERO4 session (dropped $100), HERO+, and some other entry-level GoPros are only featuring a built-in battery. I feel the benefit with built-in batteries is you can change out the battery with a longer lasting Wasabi battery. You could have multiple batteries and SD Cards, and you could end up recording for a long time without having to switch cameras (because of built-in batteries). - No built-in LCD screen. The HERO4 Silver now has the LCD screen built in, but now $100 more, for Protune, possibly improved audio, and the same framerates? If you don't end up needing the LCD touch screen (like I mentioned above), it's only $100 less, and carries the same framerates (1080p60, 720p60). That being said, I can see why GoPro would add some of those features, primarily I see it as being more "user-friendly" (being able to see what you're recording or watching recorded videos off it, but I don't know since I don't own the LCD touch screen). But if you're looking for something that would get you more for less, perfect comparison being the HERO4 Session since they're now the same price, this definitely would be the best buy.

Reliable, durable and with high-quality images

LOVE this GoPro. Gave it to my adult son for his birthday and he has made some ABSOLUTELY AMAZING videos with it. He loves it and uses it all the time. The quality is fantastic. We took it to the lake and he used it underwater (with the floaty back door) and while tubing. Ended up buying the chest mount harness, the floaty back door and the helmet front mount. He plans on using it when he does a 250 mile bike trip this summer as well as when he goes skiing next winter. Also has used it on a golf outing and a canoe trip. He edits the videos using iMovie (an apple program that makes editing extremely easy) and then posts them to YouTube! I highly recommend this if you love taking videos outdoors. He's even attached it to his dog for a fun, crazy video!!

I love my GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition. I think this camera is the best GoPro for the value and features. I researched extensively the other GoPro cameras and came to the conclusion that for the price and quality this is the best camera in the group. Going down a level you do not get the wifi connection and gopro app functionality, going up gives you higher resolutions and an LCD screen of which I actually didnt want on my GoPro. The wifi integration with your smart phone works very well so if you absolutely need a screen to look at this is your best option. I felt the very nature of the GoPro was not intended to have an LCD screen thus turning it into a smaller version of a point and shoot camera. That being said I get a lot of use out of this version and really enjoy the wifi connectivity. Keeping the wifi on continually does drain the battery very quickly as it does for all versions of the GoPro. Some additions that are handy to purchase with the GoPro: Extra battery, GoPro Bobber, Smatree SmaCase, Clip fast clamp mount.

ロードバイクにつけようと思ってる人はやめたほうが良いです。3ヶ月の旅に出るならまだしも、ただ何時も走ってる道なんて映してもすごくつまらないです。 MTBにつけようと思ってる人は是非買ってください。それでもって自転車のいろんな位置に取り付けて撮影してみてください。もちろんカメラの上をジャンプする様子をとったりも出来ます。おススメです。 これら以外にも、旅行先でぱっと撮りたいときにつかえます。

Llevo un mes de uso de la cámara y las expectativas que tenía ya se han visto superadas. Es una cámara muy ligera, muy pequeña y con muchisimas posibilidades. Estoy pendiente de recibir una serie de nuevos enganches para grabar desde distintos puntos de vista (tripode, brazo extensor, enganche bici, enganche casco, enganche pecho, muñequera, etc.). La 3+ Silver mejora algunos aspectos de la anterior, ya que hay un colega que la tiene y hay cosas que la suya no pilla muy bien. A contraluz es espectacular. La calidad de imagen perfecta, tanto en video como en foto estática. Merece la pena rascarse el bolsillo para adquirirla.

One of my better investments. I have found more uses for this camera then I ever thought I would. From fishing, to hunting, to capturing vacations. It is a great camera and with a few little accessories the possibilities are endless. I have had it in the waters of Cayman Islands to the bush mounted on my ATV. The picture and audio are great. I have zero negative to say about this camera other than I should have bought a GoPro years ago.

Semplicemente PERFETTA!! Ho già posseduto la vecchia HERO HD 1 e ne ero entusiasta per la marea di utilizzi che se ne poteva fare. Adesso il mio entusiasmo è arrivato alle stelle perchè con questa nuova gamma HERO3+ si è raggiunti una definizione nei filmati davvero impressionante. La versione SILVER EDIT differisce dalla BLACK EDIT per tre fattori: 1. risoluzione fotografica (10 MP vs 12 MP) 2. nella black c'è incluso anche il telecomandino wifi 3. con la black si può registrare video in 4k Le prime due caratteristiche sono decisamente trascurabili: 1. per due MP in più non farei i salti mortali e 2. il telecomandino wifi serve a poco visto che si può connettere la GoPro al cellulare tramite la App dedicata e controllarla via remoto con estrema semplicità con la possibilità di cambiare anche le impostazioni. La possibilità di registrare in 4k invece è la vera arma in più della BLACK EDIT ma se non si hanno schermi con risoluzione 4k su cui guardare le immagini diventa inutile quindi per l'uso che devo farme io era eccessivo il prezzo della black; con quei soldi risparmiati ho preferito prendere il Battery BacPc e altri accessori. Direi di potermi ritenere felicemente soddisfatto e consiglio l'aquisto a tutti quelli che non hanno l'esigenza di registrare in 4k. EDIT: c'è qualche professorone che si spaccia per "intenditore di immagini" e che ha recensito questo prodotto facendo assurdi paragoni con i livelli di HD delle videocamere professionali. Beh spiegategli che questa videocamera è un oggetto così piccolo da entrare in una tasca di un pantalone e non si può pretendere di avere risultati di livello professionale. Bisogna tener presente anche l'uso che se ne vuol fare, se siete in cerca di una videocamere dalle super prestazioni allora avete sbaglato articolo. Questa videocamera nasce per altri scopi e garantisce una resa ottima in considerazione del fatto che se si volesse utilizzare un'attrazzatura professionale per fare un camera-car oppure una semplice sciata con camera on-board allora dovremmo spendere migliaia di euro e avere pesi tutt'altro che leggeri. Fate attenzione alle recensioni dei "professoroni dell'immagine"!!

Die GoPro Hero 3+ Silver, war meine erste Action Cam. Ich hab lange überlegt mir wegen der vielen Negativkommentare die Black Edition zu kaufen. Ich kann keinen vergleich machen, aber ich bin voll und ganz zufrieden. Sie funktioniert einwandfrei, die Bedienung ist super einfach. Die Videos sind klasse. Hab bisher in 720p mit 60fps und 120fps gefilmt und konnte keine Mängel feststellen. Hab ein paar Kurzvideos gemacht und war von der Bildqualität begeistert. Im Moment warte ich nur noch auf die Lieferung der Helm und Brusthalterung. Werd die Kamera dann mal während eines Kendotraining testen. Als Einstiegsmodell passt einfach alles. Es kommt sicher darauf an, was man mit der Kamera filmen möchte, aber für einfach Actionvideos und kleinere Aufnahmen vollkommen ausreichend. Um richtige "Filme" damit zu drehen bezweifle ich doch sehr stark, dafür ist das Gerät aber auch nicht ausgelegt. Sobald ich alle Funktionen getestet hab und ein paar Videos gefilmt und geschnitten hab, werd ich die Rezesion noch erweitern.
