GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition

Very disappointed in this camera. My original GoPro takes A LOT better video than this overpriced thing does. On the phone with Tech support for over an hour downloading updates for the camera settings and remote pairing of camera to handheld remote. Which still won't pair to each other. Taking this back and getting my money back. GoPro really messed up with this one. IMO

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

Diode Dynamics · 10-17-2013, 03:14 PM

Really?

Because I've heard nothing but great things about it. Maybe you just got a bad one? Idk, I'd give GoPro a call and see what they can do for you

Odd......my buddy has a black edition and the videos he has showed me are AMAZING!

I have the black edition and nothing but good things to say

Any reason you bought another if you already had one?

I wanted upgrade to a remote for drag racing and the better resolution. I called tech support again ( 3rd times the charm ) and waiting for a tech Jason to get in touch with me. They said he knows this thing inside and out. I'll post once I receive my call back.
