This is the GoPro HD HERO3+ Silver Edition. The HERO3+ Silver Edition is the most advanced Silver Edition camera yet and is now smaller, lighter and mightier. GoPro took the HERO3 Silver Edition, made it 2x more powerful, and stuffed it into a case that is 15% smaller and lighter than the previous model! The HERO3+ Silver Edition is wearable, gear mountable and waterproof to 131’/40m, the 3+ Silver captures professional-quality video at resolutions up to 1080p60 and 10MP photos at up to 10 frames per second. With faster built-in Wi-Fi, enhanced low-light performance and 30% longer battery life, the HERO3+ Silver Edition makes capturing and sharing your life easier than ever.

Features:

  • Smallest, lightest Silver Edition yet: The HERO3+ Silver Edition is 15% smaller and lighter than previous models—making it the most mountable, wearable and versatile Silver Edition GoPro yet.
  • 2x more powerful: Boasting 2x the performance of its predecessor, the HERO3+ Silver Edition captures high-quality 1080p60 and 720p120 video and offers dramatically improved low-light performance.
  • Professional video quality: Stunning video quality has made GoPro the world’s best-selling camera company, and the HERO3+ Silver Edition continues this tradition. High-resolution, high-frame rate 1080p60, 960p60 and 720p120 video modes result in professional quality footage and allow for liquid-smooth slow motion playback.
  • Powerful photo capture: The HERO3+ Silver Edition captures gorgeous 10MP stills at up to 10 frames per second—perfect for fast-action sequences. Time Lapse mode lets you capture a series of photos at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 second intervals.
  • Enhanced low-light performance: Thanks to a vastly upgraded sensor, the HERO3+ Silver Edition delivers remarkable low-light performance and overall enhanced image quality.
  • Sharper images, less distortion: Enjoy crisper, clearer footage with reduced distortion. The HERO3+ Silver Edition boasts increased image sharpness and a 3x reduction in imaging artifacts.
  • Improved audio: Sound quality is as important as image quality. The HERO3+ Silver Edition features upgraded audio performance, capturing even the most subtle of sounds—whether you’re recording voices, music or the roar of your engine on a spirited drive. Advanced wind-noise reduction technology keeps the audio clearer during high-speed activities.
  • 30% longer battery life: Featuring a 30% increase in battery life, you can go longer and capture more with the HERO3+ Silver Edition.
  • Control, view, share—4x faster: With 4x faster (1) connectivity to the GoPro App, you can preview content in near real-time (2), and share your photos and videos quicker than ever. The GoPro App makes it easy to control your camera remotely with a smartphone or tablet—plus preview, play back and share your favorite shots via email, text, Facebook®, Instagram™ and more (3). Also enjoy enhanced connectivity to the Wi-Fi Remote (sold separately), which enables control of up to 50 cameras from distances of up to 600’/180m.
