The GoPro Hero 3 action camera is totally rad

Summer is about to arrive officially in just a week. For many that is going to be an ideal opportunity to take few days off work and leave the noisy city. And while some would spend that time chillaxing on the beach or hiking in the forest, others might choose to unwind in a more extreme manner – surfing, scuba diving, or taking a ride downhill on a mountain bike. The GoPro HERO action cameras are made for the latter type of people.

What is a GoPro HERO camera?

The GoPro HERO can be described as an extreme sports camera. The new HERO3 model, in particular, has a 6-lens optical system with ultra-wide field of view and it is capable of shooting high-resolution video at high framerates. When placed in its waterproof housing, the little snapper can be safely taken down to 60 meters (197 feet) underwater, while accessories allow it to be mounted and worn on one's head or chest. On top of it all, the GoPro HERO3 has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows one to control the camera'ssettings and the shutter remotely. Totally rad, isn't it?
