    The HERO 3 is going to be on Pop Mechanics top 10 greatest inventions.

    From what I've seen "seat time" is the 4k video @15 fps is astonishing for such a small device! It's camera function is totally stellar especially in burst mode!

    You will no doubt kick yourself if you get the HERO 2. Hard for me to see them getting any better than this. buy one!

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Have an older Hero Wide, looking at the 3, with all the goodies, it might be a toss up for a Hero3 or a new Ipad MINI 4G with a mount to enjoy bigger gauges in the MINI. :)

    Actually, I'm an addict, so it might be both. :crazy:

    Does anyone have real handson or own one of these yet?

    So the GoPro black series can shoot 4K resolution but there are currently no hosting services that allow this video to be streamed.....

    Just returned from Sema and stopped by Go Pro a couple of times, The new unit is very small compared to the last two, lens is much higher quality. The new blutooth will let you view what you are recording on your iphone or ipad. plus the remote start/stop/ function wrist unit will control several cameras.
    Overall very impressed with it, sure will make the older ones obsolete.

    Liked it so much I signed up for a show special, saving some green.
