RHill Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Might have to pick up one of these or try to score a used gp2 from someone who is upgrading. It would be cool to edit multi-views together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I saw them on FB last night. Pretty cool hopefully it drops the price of the other models down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 They only came out with it because I bought the Hero 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 and its still that HUGE box shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) They only came out with it because I bought the Hero 2.Right. I just got the underwater housing, the LCD bacpac, and the battery bacpac. I wonder if the batteries/bacpacs are interchangeable?**EDIT**Well, I found my answer...sweet.The HERO3: Black Edition is compatible with all GoPro mounting accessories and older generation BacPacs™ along with the newer generation LCD Touch BacPac and 2nd generation Battery BacPac. However, as all HERO3 cameras have a new size and shape they require HERO3-specific Wrist, Skeleton and 3D housings so be sure to check for HERO3 compatibility when purchasing any new housing accessories. **Edit 2** clarification - compatible with the LCD TOUCH bacpac, not the regular LCD backpac Edited October 17, 2012 by ScubaCinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Been waiting for the 3, awesome set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopLeft Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 But 197' depth. I need a housing option for deeper dives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Damn that looks tasty and the promo video was really great.I think we need to take up a collection to get Nivin 3 or 4 of these and watch the magic happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIJI-9-Brother Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 just added this to my xmas list and took everything else off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would love one but not feeling the $399 price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'll prolly sell my Hero2 and get the black edition...trying to figure out if it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 But 197' depth. I need a housing option for deeper dives...That is way deep already. Almost at the toxicity limits of air. Commercial dives I'd assume? Trimix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopLeft Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 That is way deep already. Almost at the toxicity limits of air. Commercial dives I'd assume? Trimix?No commercial diving, but technical instead. Most assuredly trimix, I'm a big believer in helium past 175'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saacattack Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 looks sick as hell!BUT...not worth the price in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 If gopro 2 was bought for 299 I guess it's comparable, better model with wifi package can be had for this price. But will wait for the price to come down by another 50 bucks in next 5 months or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Wake me up when they have an auto-start and auto-stop feature (vibration based, if they can't have a wire connect to it due to the need for a waterproof housing). Oh, and a cycle-record option would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDad Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 so you do alot of deco dives. mix gas? surface decompression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopLeft Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 so you do alot of deco dives. mix gas? surface decompression?Impirically, all surface intervals are controlled deco, so yea. Mandatory decompression is a common theme to about 90% of my dives now. With that in mind, I'll need to wait for a housing that operates in the 350'+ range. Most external controls are spring operated and at those depths, ALL buttons are depressed which wrecks havoc with everything. I've abused depth limits on quite a few things that didn't cost much, but a $400 camera deserves the best fighting chance I can give it.

flounder Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 This pisses me off substantially.. May have to sell the Hero 2 with wifibackpac, and remote and step up to a 3.Anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think I may just keep the 2...there's nothing that compelling about the new one. The size of the 2 doesn't bother me, I'm happy with the vid quality and I already have all of the accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
