The GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition is Smaller with Sharper Footage
Meghan Young — October 2, 2013 — Tech
While some people might think that the GoPro Hero camera is already pretty compact, the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition proves them wrong. Its new flagship model, it is not only smaller, it also provides sharper footage that will probably appeal to people more than its portability. More than that, it boasts a new 16:9 SuperView mode and faster wireless connection.
With its refreshed look, the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition is poising itself to stay on top of the market as other companies try to steal its spot. 20 per cent smaller than the original GoPro Hero3 with 30 per cent more battery life, there is more than a few reasons to make the upgrade. It is also "capable of shooting at 4K resolution at 15fps, 2.7K at 30fps, 1440p at 48fps, 1080p at 60fps, 960p at 100fps, and 720p at 120fps," according to The Verge.
