An Action Camera for a Real RC Pro
The GoPro HERO3: Black Edition is an action camera that has been a long time in the making. It comes as no surprise that RC hobbyists have been waiting a long time for this Wi-Fi enabled GoPro cam. Just think about some of the amazing things it can do:
• Wearable and gear mountable
• Waterproof (mount it to your RC boat!)
• Tiny and light, this Go Pro camera weighs only 2.6 ounces (makes it a great camera for aerial photography)
• Video performance twice as fast as previous models with twice the resolution
• Photo performance three times as fast as before – 30 frames per second!
• New lens captures sharp images anywhere – even under water
• Redesigned sound system with improved wind-noise reduction (another reason the HERO3 is the perfect camera for aerial photography).
These are just a few of the awesome features that RC hobbyists have been anticipating during their wait for this spectacular high-tech action camera.
Wi-Fi Cameras
The GoPro HERO3 is a Wi-Fi enabled camera, means that you can control if from your iOS smarphone or tablet; all you have to do is download the GoPro app. Not only does the app give you full control over GoPro cam from a distance, it also allows for live scene preview!
More serious RC hobbyists may want to try the Wi-Fi Remote, which is waterproof and wearable, just like the HERO3 itself. What is even more impressive about the Wi-Fi remote is that it can control up to 50 GoPro Wi-Fi cameras at the same time, at a range of 600 feet.
