GoPro Hero3+: Your Adventure Camera
Known to be the smallest and
lightest camera, GoPro has been one of the most popular cameras today. With its
capability to withstand extreme conditions, its great wide angle lens
(unconditionally genius anytime) and other features geared for versatility and
convenience, GoPro is a must bring device for travelers and adventure seekers
like I am.
This year, GoPro has released
their latest action camera – The Hero3+ which offers a better image and HD
video quality, only smaller, sleeker, and lighter.
The GoPro Hero3+ has three
editions–the white, silver, and black which comes with more accessories
included in the package. These include a waterproofed housing that withstands 40m
submergence, a 3-Way pivot arm, adhesive mounts useful on course activities,
and a whole lot more.
GoPro Hero3+ has also a number of
upgrades over its cheaper siblings. One brilliant addition is the WIFI remote
control which lets you operate the camera in distances without touching its
buttons. It allows you to control 50
cameras simultaneously within a range of 600 feet. Plus, with the GoPro app
installed, you can even set it to various modes. With a built-in WiFi hotspot
or access point, you can connect your camera to an Android or iOS device. Sweet!
On top of that handy feature, the
latest version of GoPro is screaming with an improved image quality. It has
higher resolution of 12MP, a little higher than the Silver edition’s 11MP and White
edition’s 5MP. When taking pictures on a fast moving setting, the Burst rate
feature comes in very useful. The Black edition’s maximum burst rate is three
times higher than that of the Silver edition’s 10fps which gives you a maximum
of 30 consecutive frames per second. For those who don’t require quite so much speed,
the Black Edition has 3fps, 5fps and 10fps continuous shooting rates.
Sound quality is as important as
image quality. The Hero3+ Black edition features upgraded audio performance,
capturing even the most delicate of sounds—whether you’re documenting voices,
music or the splash of water on a spirited dive in the sea.
Another
feature of GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition is the time-lapse mode, where the camera
can be set to shoot at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, and 60-second intervals. It all
adds up to plenty of scope and flexibility.
Of course, the
majority of people looking to purchase a Hero3 will probably be much more
interested in its video capabilities than its still image prowess, and here
again, the Black Edition enjoys a distinct advantage over its two supporting
models. While the Silver and White editions support a maximum resolution of
1080p at 25fps, the Black Edition can capture 1080p Full HD video at 50, 48, or
25fps in PAL mode and 60, 48, and 30fps for NTSC capture. Furthermore, 720p recording
can be captured at 100 to 50fps PAL or 120 - 60fps NTSC, which enables smooth
slow-motion playback of high-def. movies.
So if you’re a
person who travels a lot and loves adventure, the GoPro Hero3+ must always be
on your backpack. GoPro has already improved its battery life to last 30%
longer. It will be your partner in capturing your meaningful experiences.
Whether it’s surfing, sky diving, bungee jumping, biking, or racing, the GoPro
has got you covered. You can bring it to places and occasions you’d normally
think your usual cameras would not survive. (Reginald Agsalon) FOCUS
