When will the GoPro Hero 3 be arriving in South Africa

Update: The GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition is in stock now at this link "GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition" 


The release date of the GoPro HD Hero 3 is has come and gone but when is it looking like it will arrive in South Africa? GoPro has told us to expect the Hero 3 to arrive late in November or early in December.

We've been told that the GoPro Hero 3 White Edition and the Hero 3 Silver Edition will hopefully arrive in the last week of November but that the Hero 3 Black Edition which is looking to be the most highly sought after Go Pro 3 model will be here around the 10th of December.

We know for sure that the limited stock which comes in SA will go quickly and we already have a long list of pre-order customers. If you would like to secure one of the first in SA for yourself or a Christmas gift for someone else then we highly recommend going to the pages below and placing your pre-order.

• GoPro Hero 3 White Edition 
• GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition 
• GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition 

Paid for pre-orders will definitely receive a unit when they arrive. If you are not sure that you want one but would still like to be put on the waiting list then please send your details through to gopro3 [at] actioncameras.co.za to be added to our waiting list. We'll then keep you up to date on the arrival and availability. You can always secure your pre-order closer to the arrival time if you prefer (provide there is still stock which hasn't been pre-ordered).

The GoPro App is now available

The long awaited GoPro App is now available for free download on the iStore! Get the iOS app now for iPhones and iPads, the Android App will be available soon too.

So, what's so awesome about this application from GoPro???

With the GoPro app on your phone you can log into the WiFi hotspot created by the GoPro camera and then do all kinds of awesome things to control it! As you open up the app it will bring up a live pre-view of what the camera is looking at, you can then simply start your video or take a bunch of photos and control this from your phone / tablet. Not only can you control all these important functions via the Go Pro App by you can also change all the settings remotely. Very cool!

So, if for example the camera with the wifi bacpac was mounted outside your vehicle or somewhere way out of reach then you can have absolute control over it through your phone.

The awesomeness of this app doesn't end there though. Now that you've taken a video you want to get instant reply right? Well, all you need to do it click on the GoPro app to download the videos and photos from the camera to your iDevice through the WiFi connection. It'll download two versions of each video and photo; one large size one for you to view in full quality, and another smaller version of that same file so you can quickly pop across to your facebook or twitter app and upload this smaller (easier and quicker to upload) file to your social networks for instant sharing online.

WOW!
