My mounts I got with my Moto HD2 all work as well... Finally, it comes with its own battery and includes a USB cable and the waterproof case with a spare door. **Q: How long does the battery last?** A: Running the video camera on 1440 I get about 25-30 min on a mini battery. **Q: What else is NOT included with this Camera that I will have to buy? Memory? Charger? etc.. I asking about necessities, not options or accessories. Th** A: As folks are saying, you'll need an SD micro memory card. You'll want a Class 10 card if you're planning on shooting HD video (Class 10 means that it can record at 10Mbs per second. You can get away with Class 6 or better, but it's not a huge price difference.) The size will depend on what you plan on doing with the camera. Static photos will generally be about 5.5 MB (100 MB to a GB), a 60 second video shot at 720dpi 60 frames a second, will run about 108MB. The battery will run about 2 hours (provided wifi is off), so figure about 12GB for a non-stop video (It's a bit more because of the limitations of how the camera can write to the card.) For what it's worth, I picked up a 32GB card for mine.There are a few other things you probably want to consider (tripod mount with a gorillapod, extra batteries, USB auto charging port, etc.) but you didn't ask about those. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent action camera - doesn't seem to get the credit it should. *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013* All of the adrenaline junkies will tell you how good a GoPro is, but to everyone else, it seems to get written off as a costly camera. Make no mistake about it, it is fairly pricey. There are plenty of cheap(er) cameras out that that may satisfy the bulk of the public and thus explains what I hear or read. But you get what you pay for!When you first hold one in your hand, you'll be surprised at how small the camera really is - I mean the pictures don't do it justice. It's about as big as two key fobs put together! Its amazing that so much performance can be crammed into such a little product. But it can and it works fantastically!I purchased this Black Edition specifically because I wanted the capability to have a higher frame rate in 1080p and 780 (up to 60fps in 1080 and a whopping 120 in 780!), capability to do 30fps in 12MP camera mode and because of the WiFi remote that comes with it. First, I'll mention the remote. The remote is great, especially to mount to your motorcycle, your wrist, or anything while the camera is mounted in an inaccessable or incovenient area (something as simple as mounting it on a helmet can make it a worthwhile accessory). However, since GoPro now has an app that can control the camera through your WiFi enabled device, it all but makes the remote obsolete (except in extreme cases where it is better to have the small remote). The remote works good though it takes some practice to get a hang of the using the buttons (but so does the camera).The Black Edition is a must have for anyone that will actually use higher frame rates and actually produce, whether amatuer or professional videos. I am very much an ametuer on video level but having the capability to record what some of the very best (and very expensive) cameras in the world do in such a small, practical device is simply amazing (and reassuring that it'll be relavent for at least a few years). It allows you to record cinema-quality video in a tiny little device. Depending on the setting, you can also take photos simultaneously with video (for an excellent time-lapse video, too).The only thing I and some people will be dissapointed with is the battery. I've only used it for up to an hour of video and stills, but it quickly approaches low battery in a matter of no time, especially when using WiFi (I suggest only using WiFi when focusing using the app or when absolutely necessary when using the remote to control the camera). The optional battery that plops on the back of the GoPro will likely extend the battery enough to make it useful where longer shooting times are necessary (for me, motorcycle trips are a prime instance). If GoPro figures out a way to have a waterproof case that can accept a charger for constant use, I'll be all over it.With that said, if it weren't for the amazing capabilities as far as imaging goes above the Silver, I would have, and recommend for most people, the Silver Edition GoPro. But you won't be disappointed by spending an extra $100 (at the time of this review) on this Black Edition! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars If you’re into extreme sports best option on the market. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2015* Lets Start with Pros and ConsPros:Huge range of movie quality settingsUseful 30fps max still image burst rateRemote and app controlTop-notch video and photo qualityGood range of accessoriesCons:Supplied software a little limitedBuilt-in microphone is overly directionalThe GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is a small but tough camera and camcorder designed to be used in the harshest of conditions. If you've ever watched the Deadliest Catch you'll know the astonishingly exacting the conditions it is filmed in are. Can you guess what they use to film? That's right it's GoPro cameras. That's how tough they are.As the flagship product in the GoPro range, the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition has a number of upgrades over its cheaper siblings. First and foremost, the big addition for the Black Edition package is the supplied Wi-Fi remote control that lets you control the camera – handy if the camera itself is attached to a helmet or anywhere else that might make reaching the buttons tricky. We’ll deal with the set-up and operation of the remote in more depth later on, but for adventurous souls looking to mount their camera somewhere they cannot physically reach it, the Wi-Fi remote is sure to appeal.In addition to the supplied Wi-Fi remote, the Black Edition also has a beefed-up, higher resolution 12MP camera. By way of comparison, the Silver Edition gets an 11MP snapper, while the entry-level White Edition only gets a 5MP sensor. In addition to the full 12MP, the Black Edition also shoots at 7MP and 5MP if needed.Perhaps more useful to the camera’s target audience is the Black Edition’s 30fps maximum burst rate. This is considerably higher than both the Silver Edition’s 10fps and the White Edition’s 3fps. It’s a useful advantage because, in the fast-moving world of adrenaline sports, the ability to fire off 30 consecutive shots is much more likely to bag you exactly the shot you want.For those who don’t require quite so much speed, the Black Edition has 3fps, 5fps and 10fps continuous shooting speeds, too. Last but not least the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition has a time-lapse mode, where the camera can be set to shoot at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60-second intervals. It all adds up to plenty of scope and flexibility.Of course, the majority of people looking to purchase a Hero3 will probably be much more interested in its video capabilities than its still image prowess, and here again the Black Edition enjoys a distinct advantage over its two supporting models. While the Silver and White editions support a maximum resolution of 1080p at 25fps, the Black Edition can capture 1080p Full HD video at 50/48/25fps in PAL mode (60/48/30fps for NTSC capture). Furthermore 720p recording can be captured at 100/50fps (120/60fps for NTSC), which enables smooth slow-motion playback of high-def movies – something neither the Silver or White editions are capable of.The Black Edition also supports 4K capture at 15fps, or 4K Cinema at 12fps.Alternative video settings include: 1440p at 48/25/24fps (48/30/24fps for NTSC) 2.7K at 25fps (30fps for NTSC) 2.7K Cinema at 24fps 960p at 100/48fps WVGA capture at 240fps.If you’re into extreme sports and are looking for a camcorder/still image camera that you can strap to your person to capture the action with, irrespective of whether it’s in the water or on dry land, then the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is currently best option on the market.The remote control, along with the GoPro smartphone/tablet app for Android and iOS, only adds to the overall versatility of the Black Edition, making it a fantastic piece of kit at a very reasonable price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just amazing *by J***R on Reviewed in Canada on January 14, 2014* The quality of the camera is perfect.
