Video mode that captures the world’s most immersive wide angle perspective. One of the different/new features on the Hero 3+ is Superview. However I was getting at least these times using the Wasabi GoPro battery rated at 1200mAH, 3.7V, 4400mWh. With Wi-Fi On + Using Wi-Fi Remote – 1:45 With Wi-Fi Off + Using LCD Touch BacPac™ – 1:10 With Wi-Fi On + Using Wi-Fi Remote – 1:20 With Wi-Fi Off + Using LCD Touch BacPac™ – 1:20

With Wi-Fi On + Using Wi-Fi Remote – 1:40 With Wi-Fi Off + Using LCD Touch BacPac™ – 1:15 With Wi-Fi On + Using Wi-Fi Remote – 1:35 With Wi-Fi Off + Using LCD Touch BacPac™ – 1:25 With Wi-Fi On + Using Wi-Fi Remote – 1:50 So far, in pretty mild conditions and using a 16GB Samsung Micro SD Card I have found the settings to be fairly accurate. The chart below indicates the approximate continuous recording time (hr:min) you can expect when shooting in various video modes using a fully-charged battery. GoPro reckon that the Hero3+ has a 30% longer battery life compared to HERO3: Black Edition with its new battery rated at 1180mAH, 3.7V, 4366mWh. One of the biggest changes with the Hero3+ is a more powerful battery and some inner tweaks that allow the camera to run for longer. The design and features of the remote remain the same. The Hero 3+ Black Edition also come supplied with the remote in exactly the same way as the Hero 3 Black Edition does. This means that changing the panel will be possible if it were to get scratched or damaged in any other way. The lens area is much smaller and is fastened to the case from the inside rather than from the exterior. The changes in the case make the whole unit much lighter. I suspect there will be knack to getting it done, but I am actually reassured by the fact that it doesn’t just pop off. I have found that the clasp is pretty tough and can be difficult to release.

It doesn’t have the lock like the previous case but the clasp is quite low profile and looks as if it would be difficult to knock or catch. It is much smaller with a lower profile clasp.

The biggest physical change is in the case. Visibly there is little difference between the cameras, although you can tell that the lens is different.

The Hero 3 will fit in the Hero 3+ case and vice versa. As thought the form factor of the actual camera remains the same. Included in the package is the camera, wifi remote, USB leads for both the camera and remote, a skeleton back door and a couple of sticky mounts (one curved, one flat). The camera comes supplied in the standard GoPro packaging. The GoPro Hero 3 plus arrives just 12 months on from the release of the GoPro Hero 3 Black series.
