Smaller, lighter and 2X more powerful, again.
The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear mountable, waterproof to 197' (60m), capable of capturing ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video and 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second, the HERO3: Black Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote (normally a separate $79.99 accessory) make the HERO3: Black Edition all the more versatile, still.

Smaller, Lighter...Better
Weighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than previous models.

2X Faster Video Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema-quality video at 2X the resolution and 2X the frame-rate of previous models while delivering 2X better low light performance. Slow-motion aficionados and industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black Edition's 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video modes while those desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 2.7KP-30 fps and 4KP-15 fps (Protune only) video modes.

3X Faster Photo Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition's photo performance is 3X improved, now boasting 12MP burst capture at a staggering 30 frames per second with 2X better low light performance compared to previous models. Still Photo and Time-lapse Photo modes remain the same but are now joined by a new Continuous Photo mode that captures continuous 12MP stills at a steady 3, 5, or 10 photo-per-second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.

Improved Sharpness, Less Distortion
The HERO3's reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens combines with user-selectable Ultra-wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to deliver more perspective-capture options than ever before. Add the totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning image sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the most powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.

Redesigned Audio System
Understanding that sound quality is as important as image quality, GoPro engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at capturing the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's already famous wind-noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of your passion, be it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind during high speed activities.

Built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Remote Included)
The HERO3 Black Edition features built-in Wi-Fi and includes GoPro's Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available as a $79.99 accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition.

Who created
Nick Woodman is a surfer from California (United States) who enjoys surfing and other sports, but also like to record it. The idea came when he was surfing on the beach with friends and had no way to record the moments in the waves with friends. So he created a small camera that can be placed anywhere and shoot in high definition, so sports can practice and record the moments without having to be holding the camera.

Then he created the GoPro, a small camera with very good quality (1080p HD), which accompanied by a rigid waterproof box, can be taken anywhere, whether in the desert, a mountain full of snow or even under water, can be taken anywhere.

GoPro é a empresa de câmeras com crescimento mais rápido

Quem criou
Nick Woodman é um surfista da Califórnia (Estados Unidos) que gosta de fazer surf e outros desportos, mas também gosta de os filmar. A ideia surgiu quando estava na praia a fazer surf com os amigos e não tinha maneira como registar os momentos nas ondas com os amigos. Então criou uma pequena câmera que se pode segurar em qualquer lado e filmar em alta definição, assim consegue praticar os desportos e registar os momentos sem ter que estar a segurar a câmera.

Qualidade e durabilidade
Então criou a GoPro, uma pequena câmera com muito boa qualidade (HD 1080p) que acompanhada por uma caixa rígida e impermeável, pode ser levada para qualquer lado, seja no deserto, numa montanha cheia de neve ou mesmo debaixo de água, pode ser levada para qualquer lado. A câmera vem acompanhada por outros acessórios que possibilitam que seja colocada conforme a necessidade: seja numa prancha de surf, num capacete, em cima do carro, numa mota ou bicicleta, num avião, ao peito, etc, dá para ser montada em qualquer lado.

Sucesso
Criada em 2009 o seu sucesso foi imediato, visto estar numa época onde a partilha de vídeos pessoas na Internet estava com um enorme crescimento, muitas pessoas ficaram a adorar esta câmera ideal para isso. Visto a visão da câmera poder ser muito perto do desportista ou mesmo a sua visão, os vídeos na Internet fazem um enorme sucesso, dando a alguns o lugar dos melhores vídeos na Internet. Só 2011 foram vendidas 800 mil câmeras por todo o mundo, fazendo a empresa arrecadar 250 milhões de dólares.

Publicidade
E empresa quase não precisa de fazer publicidade à sua câmera, visto que os seus os seus clientes partilham na Internet os seus vídeos, é estimado que a cada dois minutos seja enviado para o YouTube um vídeos com uma GoPro, e os utilizadores sabem claramente que é filmado com uma GoPro. Mas a empresa faz questão em estar presente em eventos radicais e desportivos, sejam competições de Skate ou competições de Ski.

Quem as utiliza
Não só é utilizada pro amadores, mas é a primeira câmera procurada por amantes de desportos radicais e como cada vez mais profissionalmente, realizadores de programa da televisão cada vez mais usam estas câmeras, por exemplo o Discovery Channel. A sua qualidade de imagem excelente e durabilidade do equipamento, faz com que qualquer produtor se interesse por a usar.

Videos virais
Os video que são colocados na Internet são tão impressionantes e espectaculares que atingem milhões de visualizações. A empresa quando lançou o novo modelo «GoPro HD HERO 2» ofereceu as novas câmeras a vários desportistas e aventureiros, e com despesas todas pagas, levou-os a lugares impressionantes para que eles pudessem registar esses momentos. Com todos esses momentos recolhidos, a empresa criou um vídeo de 5 minutos e colocou no seu canal no Youtube, de um dia para o outro era viral, toda gente queria ver, toda gente gostava de ver, e em apenas 3 mêses no YouTube o vídeo teve 10 milhões de visualizações.
