GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition/Music camera bundleThe tools made by GoPro over the last few years have enabled some of the most engaging user-generated video content the web has ever seen. And now, they’ve turned their attention to musicians with a new version of their best-selling Hero3+ camera kit.
Going on sale at retailers across Europe today, the Hero3+ Black Edition/Music includes everything needed to capture professional quality photos and video of any music moment, from practice to performance.
The Hero3+ Black Edition/Music makes it easy for musicians and DJs to mount the camera to instruments, turntables, mic stands and other stage equipment to capture immersive GoPro-style footage and unique points of view. Artists can also use the GoPro App on a mobile device to control the camera if it’s mounted out of reach, while GoPro’s free editing software, GoPro Studio, makes it easy to edit professional looking videos for self-promotion on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and other platforms.
The HERO3+ Black Edition/Music has a recommended retail price of €449.
Instead of the waterproof housing that is normally bundled with all GoPro cameras, the Hero3+ Black Edition/Music comes with The Frame, GoPro’s lowest-profile camera mounting solution and the smallest, lightest way to mount a Hero3+ camera when waterproof protection isn’t required. The Frame provides easy access to all ports and full exposure to the camera’s microphone, allegedly delivering a superior audio recording performance. The package also includes:
- Removable Instrument Mount: An easy-to-remove, non-damaging adhesive mount that makes it easy to mount the camera to guitars, drums, turntables, keyboards and other instruments.
- Mic Stand Mount: Convenient mount for attaching the camera to a mic stand. Compatible with standard U.S. 5/8”-27 mic stands. Includes an adapter for European 3/8”-16 mic stands.
- Jaws: Flex Clamp: Opposable flex clamp that simplifies mounting the camera to cymbal stands, drum hardware, turntables and more. The opposable and removable neck delivers a wide range of camera-angle adjustability, and can be attached to the other included mounts for increased versatility.
The Hero3+ Black Edition captures professional production-quality photos and video in the challenging low light environments that musicians and DJs are accustomed to. Artists can now self-capture video up to 2.7K and stills up to 12MP wherever they may be performing. The camera’s ultra wide-angle, low-distortion lens captures expansive images ideal for music performances, and built-in Wi-Fi enables artists to control their camera via the GoPro App running on their mobile device or using GoPro’s Wi-Fi Remote, which is sold separately.
The HERO3+ Black Edition/Music was also engineered to last as long as the jam, recording up to 2 hours of video footage at 1080p at 30 frames per second. The camera also records impressive audio with a built-in microphone and features an external mic input and a 3.5mm mic adapter, allowing for the use of external microphones.
