It isn't cheap.
Many accessories over priced.

The Gopro Hero3 remains the best action camera on the market at the moment. The black edition is the top of the range which is reflected in the price but it still remains great value.

It is handily the best action camera we've ever used. The footage it takes is simply unparalleled. The biggest ding against it is battery life, which is important enough to cost it half a star.

Despite its meager battery life and less-than-ergonomic shape, the Hero3 provides imaging performance superior to all of its competitors at a price that won't break the bank.
