Rant - GoPro HERO3: Black Edition - Smaller, Lighter and 2X More Powerful

The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter & 2X more powerful than previous models. New resolutions and frame-rates include 4Kp 15, 2.7kp 30, 1080p 60, 1440p 48, 960p 100, 720p 120 and 12MP burst photo capture at 30 fps. Yes, for real.

I'm curious if the new flat lens is the dive housing incorporated into the standard housing now. I went snorkeling with just the fish-eye lens on my Hero2 thinking that it would be suitable, but it's not. The separate dive housing is an extra $50 too.

Wow, interesting. Those things have definitely come a long way since my first film based one.

I just made a goofy video using my Hero2 this past weekend crabbing. I've always been curious what the hell is going on down there. Now if only I could get a live feed to the surface...

Damn, dude, you scored.

Also, this is one of my favorite uses I've seen of the GoPro. Loved the film. Maybe the WiFi allows you to do a live feed? Anyone know? (Yes, I'm lazy webbing here. Sorry.)

How did they get everything to speed up and slow down like that? ಠ_ಠ

Seriously, though, it looks really cool. Also, people do a lot of crazy, dangerous-looking shit.

PS: Great crab and gull action.
