@@spazsi3838 It's an immense amount of data to transfer wirelessly is why it takes so long.

Also, I started recorded in 960, and even 720 sometimes, and it was much faster on the uploads.
I was just about to buy a new GoPro, but I randomly found this in my dad's garage (he recently passed), with the charger attached. Just ordered a memory card and I can't wait to start filming! Thank you for this!!
I agree with Ax S, see no reasons for a dislike. I got this Hero 3 a long time ago and never really used it much. Great video to help get going with it again. Thanks for sharing.
Oh man, thank you for making this video! I got a GoPro Hero 3+ back then and misplaced it, thought I had lost it. I was going through my old stuff in the storage and found this thing lol ... and now your video has helped me with the settings! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much! I'm an old fart and you saved me a lot of frustration and cut right to the chase! Even 7 years later. Some books don't last that long! Cheers!
Dislikes are from people who watched this whole video but realizing they’ve been up all night and they don’t have a GoPro and they need to be at work in 10 minutes.
Thanks for the help on vacation rn and found a silver 3+ in the branches on a (no one lives there so it’s not like I just stole someone’s GoPro)island the last files are from someone scuba diving in sunken ships in 2014
Thanks. Go to settings (Wrench) using the Mode button. Push Shutter button to select it. Push Mode button to switch from Video to Photo Settings and hit the shutter button to select it. Use the Mode button to select either: 12MP Wide, 7MP Wide, 7MP MED (Medium) or 5 MP MED. 12, 7 and 5 are your options on the Hero3 for MP.
This helped me but im in uk and its saids in the book that ntsc is in northern America and pal isnt in northern America so what u recommend for me to used
Question: Is there a way to pause the filming between shots or do you have to shut it off and on again? I jump horses so I was wondering how I stop the filming after a jumping round. I was wondering for editing purposes. Thanks!
There is no pause button. You can use the shutter button on top of the camera to stop a recording, then shutter again to start another, but this will make a new file. You can stitch them together in your editing software. Either that or just continue rolling, and cut out the excess footage in your editing software.
That cut to you flyfishing at the end has me excited. I use mine while out fishing. Want to get a chest mount because the head mount is hard to get an ideal angle on, but I use a chest pack when trout fishing. What's your setup?
Chest mount. I like the vantage point of having the reel and rod in a larger portion of shot. Plus, it is steadier. You can also use the Jr. Chest Mount, but just use the waist strap, not the shoulder harnesses.
@@AndrewSebrell Thanks for the response. Jr mount around the chest pack is a great idea. I've got a Hero 3 white right now and it's just not that great. Considering upgrading. Should I get an 8 or would an older model suffice?
@@aw00gaaw00ga1 I tend to upgrade every 2-3 cameras. I have the 7 Black, so I didn't get the 8. If you find a good deal on the Hero7 Black, I'd go with that. Alternatively, I think GoPro is having a trade up right now. You could send in your Hero3 for a Hero8 discount.

Hi..like your video..so simple and informative.Thank You..ok have one that was given to me ..the problem is I have nothing else . Where to buy the power cod? Please Help..

@@momogunsabah Try a different SD card without the firmware on it and/or a new battery. Connect your GoPro to a computer and manually update your software. You can do this through GoPro Quik on your computer. Plug it into your computer and turn it on and see what happens with and without an SD card and battery. The combo might tell you where the issue is stemming from.
With the Hero3 in this video, you'll have to connect it to your phone with the GoPro app. Then scroll through your videos on your phone. You can't do it on the camera itself. If you have a Hero7, you can do what you're asking on the back screen by tapping the icon that looks like a bunch of clustered boxes in a grid when you're in the video preview area.
Hi mate. I bought Hero3 Black today and While It was charging there was a red lights on the front but how can I know It is fully charged? Are these lights gonna stop or changes the colour?
Have you tried GoPro Quik on the desktop? As you watch your video and hit the Highlight button when you want to include a clip, then the software will build a video around your highlights. You can change the length by picking different music tracks, and edit each clips precise start and end point once it's made if you want. community.gopro.com/t5/en/GoPro-legacy-software/ta-p/595533#

It has to be the Hero3 Black to have 4K capabilities. An easy check is to look at the "3" on front of the camera. Is it white, silver or black. The color of the 3 refers to the model. If it's silver or white it can't shoot 4K video.
@@AndrewSebrell Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the 3 is white. I ask you one more thing (I'm a beginner). It is possible to load the fw of the hero 3+ on a hero 3. Hi
@@lucaferrando6465 the features like SuperView made for the 3+ won’t work on the 3. I tried a long time ago. The hardware doesn’t support it. I don’t think the 3+ firmware will add anything the latest software for 3 doesn’t cover unless you have the 3+.
Even in 2023, I found this super simple as I enter the world of filming with a GoPro and my first purchase. Thank you so much Andrew

Why my hero go pro 3 doesnt have 30fps and 50 fps. It only have 24,25,48,50 fps what should i choose?
Switching from PAL to NTSC will give you different options between 24/30/48/60 or 25/50 in the settings menu.
