Like the Hero3, the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition's strongest attributes are its excellent video quality and impressive list of shooting options. If that's what matters most to you, this is the action cam to get.

The GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition produces some of the best -- if not the best -- video we've seen from an action cam. Its abundant resolution and frame rate options will satisfy beginners and experienced shooters.

Navigating the on-camera settings menus still isn't the best experience. Battery life can be brief depending on the features you're using. Plan to buy accessories including a microSD card.
If image quality is your prime concern, there's no other option for you. If you want a great camera that is user friendly, has good mounting options, and good image quality; this is still your camera. If you have the cash to fork over, go check out the GoPro HERO 3+ Black.

If you make sure to record footage in an iOS-friendly format, the possibilities with the GoPro Hero3+ are nearly limitless. Apple's iPhoto and iMovie are great on-the-go tools for making quick edits on either iPhone or iPad.

From shooting 1080p slow motion at 60fps, or employing 4K “Ultra HD” video (albeit at only 15fps), the Black edition can handle almost any shooting environment and produce great...

Best value GoPro of the range, Smooth 1080p footage @60fps, Wider range of mounts than other brands, Matchbox design squeezes into small spaces

Screen is £80 extra, Main unit is vulnerable when not in waterproof housing, Tiny buttons, fiddly in use
