24 Мар. 2015 г.Экшн камеры gopro hero 3Additionally, the HERO3 is mounted in the same align-and-tighten fashion as previous versions, which is good news that most older accessories are compatible.While under the hurried pressure of some shooting situations, this feature on HD HERO2 was really frustrating and difficult to accomplish. Navigating a camera with only two buttons is not easy, yet somehow GoPro continues to improve it with every new release. The 4k frame size is almost four times the size of normal high definition 1920x1080 pixels. Setting the camera to 2.7k you can shoot in 24fps or 30fps, which are the standard frame rates for film and television. Having handled its competition recently -- the Action Cam from Sony and the Contour+2 -- we can say that the Hero3 feels smaller and lighter than both of them. Reviewing the footage from after the comparison test, we immediately noticed the audio differences between the two cameras. On the plus side, the 4k frame size is so large you can pull usable screenshots from the footage to use as stand-alone photos. The manual for the HERO3 is not included in the package so a lot of users do not take the time to go online to read it. Affordable and amazingly compact, this camera can go with you anywhere and mount easily in a variety of ways. The human eye can process 10 to 12 separate images per second, so a frame rate of 12 or 15 is only slightly above that, making the video look a bit choppy if used on a subject or scene with a lot of motion. We didn't get to use the Hero3 for its stated purpose just yet, but we'll be filming with the thing tomorrow, so stay tuned for all the POV footage. Compared to the HERO2, which tends to overexpose highlights and completely lose the dark areas, the dynamic range of the HERO3: Black Edition footage allows for those areas to be recovered. You'll never miss a shot with a wide selection of time-lapse settings and the speedy 12MP photo bursts with as many as 30 photos a second. Plus, the top of the case sports a newly designed safety slider lock to prevent the accidental release and opening of the case underwater. Neatly tucked underneath are the components: a small 1050mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery and various adhesive mounts to stick the camera in creative places. Included with the HERO3: Black Edition is a non-waterproof backdoor with openings for improved audio while using the camera in less than 100 miles per hour winds. It's about the size of a couple of matchboxes stacked together and is quite lightweight, yet still feels sturdy. The WiFi remote that comes with the Hero3 Black Edition is similarly solid in its construction, though we wish it had the same textured skin as the camera instead of its smooth exterior. A cube of hard, see-through plastic surrounds the camera, boldly showing off its small design, futuristic flat lens and included Wi-Fi Remote. It's a camera that pushes the boundaries of technology, offers a variety of useful features, and helps us make our films more creative by being portable and able to mount essentially anywhere. If you're still looking for better quality than 1080p, the HERO3: Black Edition offers two modes that are still almost double in size. Mounting the camera in wild places such as on top of a 30-foot pole, or shooting from the bottom of the swimming pool is a cinch with the Wi-Fi Remote. GoPro also added an exclusive Wi-Fi button on the side of the HERO3 to shortcut access to Wi-Fi settings. This means not only will the camera perform better in indoor and nighttime situations, it will also be superior when shooting directly into the sun. The GoPro HERO3: Black Edition has two 4k modes that have slightly varied aspect ratios and frame rates.  Even without the housing, the HD HERO2 sounded tinny and faint, but the HERO3: Black Edition sounded surprisingly clear, somewhat usable and comparable to the on-camera audio of a DSLR. GoPro additionally improved the wind noise reduction algorithm, which translates to less audio distortion when traveling at high speeds or on a windy day.Next, we tested the low light performance. After testing this camera side by side with the HD Hero2, it is apparent that three major features have been significantly improved: the in-camera audio, the low light capabilities, and the internal menu usability. I agree that the HERO3 is amazing, considering its size, I can't believe it has so many features. Right off the bat, this camera feels different.Being a long-time user of the previous GoPro models, this camera feels familiar on the outside but there are significant improvements to the brains of this brand new Black Edition. The biggest wow factor for most video-minded people is the 4k resolution of this tiny camera. Now, with the improved HERO3, the settings menu allows the user to hold the record button and swiftly jump out of the menu and back to camera mode, ready to go.Overall AwesomenessIt's a camera like the HERO3 that excites our passion for creating videos. The HERO3: Black Edition was noticeably better when it came to the extremely dark environment. Pair the immense video and photo potential of the HERO3: Black Edition with the integrated Wi-Fi and waterproof remote and capture all the action, even when you are the subject in front of the camera!The camera can be controlled completely by the wireless and waterproof keychain remote. First things first, the Hero3 is tiny, particularly when considering that it shoots 4K video (albeit at a paltry 12fps), a resolution usually reserved for much larger, cinematic cameras. Not only can you see what you're recording on your smartphone or tablet, you can also change recording modes and take video or photo bursts with just the touch of the button from as far as 600 feet away. Compared to the White and Silver HERO3 models released in October 2012, the Black Edition is the top performer, and a giant step up from the HD HERO2 model.Designed for professional use, yet with the beginner videographer in mind, this little device is easily learned, quickly mastered and ready for a multitude of applications. After reading through the entire manual, we found a subtle but handy feature that makes navigating the menu notably efficient. The standard 24fps and 30fps are available at the lower resolutions in addition to some fancy high frame rates. On the outside of the casing, all the mounts are the same, which is great news for HD HERO or HD HERO2 owners who have extra accessories lying around. This tiny HERO3: Black Edition may not shoot footage like a cinema camera, it may not take photos like a DLSR, and it may not have all the bells and whistles of a full-sized camcorder, but it doesn't need to. For mountain biking and other shots where a 4:3 aspect ratio is suitable the 48fps at 1440p feature is great to get more of a squared frame. In order to exit the settings menu on the HD HERO2 you had to repeatedly click the Mode button until you found "EXIT." Heaven forbid you missed it, and you'd have to cycle through all the options hoping you would not skip it again. The Wi-Fi enabled camera can be controlled by the included remote or even by a smartphone or tablet. The GoPro HERO3: Black Edition is in a class of it's own, pulling features from all shapes and sizes of cameras and packing it into less than two cubic inches. Walking down into a dark basement armed with the HERO3: Black Edition and an older Hero2, a dimmable LED light helped us compare the low light performance of both cameras. GoPro just revealed its new flagship action camcorder, the Hero3, and we managed to get our mitts on one this evening. The footage from both cameras was full of video noise, but what was fascinating was the amount of dynamic range in the HERO3: Black Edition footage.  |
