GOPRO HERO3 BLACK
This is arguably the most iconic of GoPro’s action cameras. It marked a huge technological leap over the HD Hero2 and confirmed the brand’s status as the one to buy (or beat).
With the waterproofing and mounting options we’ve come to expect from GoPro, it became a tool for a huge range of consumers: something you could take on family holidays or use to capture your most exhilarating sporty moments.
Recognising that it had garnered such a diverse audience, GoPro offered three levels of the Hero3 lineup: White, Silver and Black editions. Each had a different megapixel count and framerate, and it was the Black that led the charge with a12MP sensor capable of capturing better low-light footage and 30fps bursts of images.
