GoPro Hero3 is Finally Available!

If you have been following this you might know how really good this is! Looks like a real nice, cheap alternative to us indi film-makers...

See what this camera can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3PDXmYoF5U


Here are some of the things I liked about Hero3:
  • The camera itself can record at 4K!
  • With Protune you can encodes in H264 and at 24p
  • Protune lets you encode at about 45Mbps on the Hero3
GoPro offers the CineForm Studio editing software for free. They also offer GoPro iPhone app for free and with that you can see and control what your camera sees. Interesting:

But be warned that the visual creativity is seriously limited as the camera has auto ISO, auto f-stop and auto shutter controls!

But hey at $400 MSRP one can afford to let these take a back seat especialy if you want this to be your second camera that you can rig to the top/underside of your trucks and still want the footage to match with your main camera's!
