GoPro HD3 October ???

Chris Medico · October 19th, 2012, 07:43 AM

Anyone seen their credit card charged that have ordered the new camera? I was going through my account last night and looks like they have charged mine.

Hopefully we will start seeing them in the wild next week.

From where did you order the housing with 25 foot cable ? I am thinking of using this to film kingfishers diving for fish from an overhanging perch.

Hi Neil... it's this one.
Eye Of Mine Underwater Video Out Housing GoPro

I just got it today. Looks good. Of course this means the housing is a lot bigger than the standard housing. But it does allow a cable to be connected to the camera.

The 25-foot cable is very pliable, with an RCA plug at the end.

Just went out and picked up a GoPro 3 Black edition on my lunch break, will try to shoot some video tomr. I still need to purchase a micro SD card which card do you guys recommend.

I saw 32 GB Sandisk class 10 cards at Costco About $26. These are the same cards sold on the GoPro website.

Best Buy has a few.
There is a charging bug showing up in a lot of cameras and I haven't heard anything good about the WiFi yet. IQ is good and so far protune is behaving.

At the risk of sounding like a whiner, wee bit annoyed that they did that big release night with the countdown timer on their site, which I stayed up till 2am for and spent an additional hour dealing with the site timing out/crashing to get my order in and it's showing up in stores before mine has arrived. Actually don't even think they've even shipped it yet.

My wifi worked briefly, but as soon as I tested out the remote, the option on the camera to connect to the GoPro app disappeared for good.

Buba Kastorski · October 26th, 2012, 06:27 AM

rtfm, firmware upgrade need to make wifi work :)

Kevin Walsh · October 26th, 2012, 10:58 AM

First thing I did Buba.

Ian Newland · October 26th, 2012, 04:06 PM

Kevin, have you enabled both in the menu.

Kevin Walsh · October 26th, 2012, 04:54 PM

Hi Ian,

After I updated the firmware I was able to enable the GoPro app in the camera's menu. No live preview, but the controls worked. Next I tried the wifi remote and it worked, but the menu option to enable the GoPro app. disappeared when I did this.

Now the only options under wireless controls are for the remote.

Best Buy in Houston, I had a problem charging one of the HD3s I removed the battery and put it back the cam takes a charge now.

Sorry Kevin, things changed again, just realised this,

For HERO3:
App compatibility with the HERO3 will be available for White and Silver Editions on November 12, 2012, and for Black Edition Dec 14th 2012. A software update for your HERO3 camera will then be required before using the GoPro app.
