By Stan Horaczek | Published Oct 1, 2013 9:09 AM EDT

GoPro’s latest flagship, the HD Hero3+, arrives with a series of noteworthy upgrades that make it a compelling choice for both enthusiasts and professionals.

Key enhancements include:

  • 30 % sharper lens technology for clearer, more detailed shots.
  • 20 % reduction in size, giving it a slimmer, more ergonomic form factor.
  • Improved low‑light performance for vibrant night footage.
  • Faster Wi‑Fi connectivity and upgraded audio quality.
  • Battery life extended by up to 33 %, translating to longer shooting sessions.

The Silver variant now supports 1080 p at 60 fps and 720 p at 120 fps, expanding its versatility for high‑speed filming.

Pricing: the existing HD Hero3 Black will be discounted to $329, and the Silver version to $249. The new HD Hero3+ Black retails at $400, while the Silver edition is priced at $299.

We expect to receive hands‑on access to the HD Hero3+ this weekend and will share footage once we have had a chance to test it in real‑world conditions.
