[About the GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition]
Thinner, lighter and more efficient than the GoPro Hero 3, 3+ is a good evolution of board camera which so much ...
It is really tiny and came with a lot of accessories to attach it to various media. The remote control is useful and use a smartphone to control the GoPro is nice.
You still have (and this is normal) a few days to get used to the beast. Nothing at the level of the WiFi settings, it is not necessarily super simple to understand how it works exactly: either using an iPhone (or other smartphone), or the remote, but not the two simultaneously. For example;)
I usually shoots in 720p (even if it goes up in 1080 ... And even more!) At 120 frames per second, which allows me to mount slow the speed of the video by half without loss of quality (really light slowmotion nice). The wide angle GoPro 3 was great, the SuperView mode 3+ is monstrous! On the corner of my kitchen, I get to see my kitchen, my living room and my dining room in a picture! It's amazing. The image (as in any large angle when abused some) a little distorted, but the feeling is fully restored in sports sequences.
Underwater, it's beautiful! Clear, clean, efficient, the waterproof case at 40m (manufacturer data) is carefree: not a drop of water inside after complete immersion.
Pictures taken are nice enough, although it is not a camera, I was pleasantly surprised.
I burn the battery in less than 3 hours, it leaves time to do a lot of videos no worries. While I think I take a secondary battery and an external charger.
The application is useful GoPro is possible to have a live preview (with a lag of less than one second) that the camera filming, as well as consultation of all its contents and modify its parameters (quality , etc.).
The videos and pictures in dark places and night are not great, but I suspected a little. It is not really made for that :)
I just blame the terrible and horrible packaging to open !!! But once unpacked everything, is that of happiness ...
[Verdict]
Solid (in his case), good quality, the GoPro Hero 3+ is a really friendly onboard camera whose video (to see examples on Youtube) are of very good quality. Pictures are not left because the camera offers the possibility to take pictures with a wide angle of sick :)
Clearly geared for sports, I do not regret this little camera that has great potential !!!
