One of the biggest areas that is overlooked when getting a video/camera setup for trips out is the speed of the your SD card. Many ask what is the best SD card for my GoPro camera? The GoPro HD Hero3 and 3 Plus series of cameras support Micro SD cards up to 64GB.
The choices of GoPro Hero 3 And 3 Plus micro SD cards is huge. Hopefully my trial and error over the last few years will point you in the right direction.
I have updated this post to ensure that the best cards possible are identified. This post also now contains references to the Hero 4 range of cameras.
The GoPro Hero 3 – white, silver, black and the even newer newer GoPro 3+ range use Micro SD Cards. Micro SD cards are roughly the size of a mobile phone sim card and are often supplied with an adaptor to allow them to be used within tech that uses full size SD cards.
Well here it is, the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition. In this Black Edition – First Look we will look at the camera itself, supplied accessories and initial impressions.
A year on and GoPro have tweaked the 3 series and have introduced the 3+. I have taken GoPros official release on the GoPro Hero 3 Plus and have added my commentary along the way.
So what is the difference between the Hero 3 and Hero 3+. Will you be underpowered if you have the Hero 3?
As standard the wifi password for the app is “goprohero” all lower case with no spaces. However a number of folk have had issues with this.
I’ve been using both the OEM GoPro and Wasabi batteries in my GoPro 3 with great success. However this triple pack (at under £15) from Duragadget are also doing really well. Reviews from across the net are confirming my findings that they are definitely up to the job and are superb value.
I also have a GoPro battery BacPac in for test, to date this is working really well. I don’t like the additional weight when wearing the unit on my helmet, but when it’s on the boat or tripod it is spot on.
After a couple of hours of paddling today I spied my HF Weasel Throwbag in the back of the car and had an idea. What if I attached my GoPro to the bag, what kind of footage could I get?
So…one Mount Star mount and a couple of zip ties later:
I receive a couple of emails each day asking about the GoPro setup that I currently have running, so here is an update.
I use both a GoPro Hero 3 Silver and Black editions, but I actually prefer the silver! Both have there firmware updated every time there is a new release. Continue reading
This is a really nice iOS app from Mount Star that allows you to view a summary of the GoPro Hero HD and HD2 handbooks on your iPod Touch or iPhone.
Some great shots from various GoPro setups. A really great resource and I look forward to seeing more.
