Very useful, even in late 2022. I've had this thing in storage and just dug it out to use it. Couldn't remember a thing about it, so you helped a lot! I just hope the batteries still hold a charge.
This is so helpful, even 9 years after this video was posted! My dad's co-worked gave him an old go-pro hero 3, and this video helped me set it up! Thank you so much!
Bought the camera in 2014 to use with my quad copter. Stopped using the quad and the camera has sat since. Wanted to use it to video the fish in my pond in 2020 but could not remember the details on operating it. Could not find any info on the GoPro site so came here to RUclips. This video refreshed my memory enough to get me going again. Thanks!
Just found the Hero 3 I bought for my son some years ago that he never used... it's mine now! Your video was very helpful. Got my battery charging now and going to watch your video on updating the firmware. Hope I can still do it with the Hero 3 being somewhat old now. Thanks so much!
I just inherited a Hero 3 a couple of days ago. I was handed a box of parts and a camera that was missing doors and flaps. Previous owner is willfully tech illiterate and I think he gave it to me because he thought it was broken. Ordered new parts batt and remote charging cable plus assorted etc. Looking forward to getting cam back up to its full potential. Also wanted to say your videos are clear and consise so far and answered all the basics. Special shout out for pointing out the wifi button! Had my hands all over this thing cleaning it, and never saw it!
Glad it was helpful! Feel free to check out the tons of videos that feature accessories review, tips, and tricks! ruclips.net/user/iftibashirplaylists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=3
Such a good tutorial. I had to stop and start several times as I couldn't quite keep up. I now actually can use this thing. Off to Iceland I go with GoPro confidence. Thx tons.
Well here we are 7 yrs down the road from our last holiday i couldnt remember how to work the bloody thing lol. great video , and it got me started ..... Again lol. thanks for this, will need to see if i can do a firmware update. well done and thanks again .
I recently purchased my first gopro, a used Hero 3+ Black. I haven't received it in the post yet but I already know how to use it thanks to your videos! Thanks so much. Liked and Subscribed!
I bought the go pro 3+ in 2015 in Amsterdam Airport put it in a cupboard and left it unopened until May 2023, so a great video for learning the easy bits to start without reading the literature which can be a bit confusing Well Done
Very helpful video. I am challenged (!) when it comes to learning new technology and this video made it painless. I look forward to the next series of videos. Thank you!
The replaceable battery is so useful. If you ever plan on getting a GoPro, save up for 3+. Running out of battery on your GoPro when you're in the middle of the action sucks real hard. GoPro's that don't have a replaceable battery are not that reliable.
I have my new Hero3plus connected to my computer , no LED lights are on and I cannot access any of the various modes by repeatedly pressing the power button. The screen simply stays on the video mode and the moving charging bars at the bottom . What is the problem?
Loved the video, I got a issue with my hero3+ silver, I record normall, but when I go to the archive, there is no way I can view what I've recorded, its like corrupted :(
I paired the camera with the W-fi remote but when I press the W-fi power button the camera does’t come on. However, the W-fi remote and camera do communicate after I manually turned on the camera W-fi.
i am streaming on obs, but i cant get the writing off the video feed (the icons etc) so i have had to zoom in to miss out this writting. wandering if you can help? i have a picture of what i mean if that helps?
for the plastic hinge on the housing, I replace them same way as you are after 4change the right hinge cracked and broke, not sure if it's just bad luck or it's the way it is.
Sir.. I have a Hero 3 black.. I want to record some spearfishing while scuba diving in the GoM, here of the coast of LA. purchased a 32 gig Scandisk extreme.. is 32 gigs enough ?? What setting should I use to get good quality underwater footage and also best battery life?
so i've just purchased a gopro 3 white edition. video quality is not that good at all. is it that i haven't got the correct memory card for it and that is why the video quality is bad?
It would have been nice if it came with the instructions it said in the ad also with their warranty I took out an entry year warranty on it just to make sure as I received it today now I will test it out
Can lte or 4g be wifi for the gopro and do u have to have the thing that u put your microsd card in or could it be something else becuz my computer is very slow and has lots of pop ups
Do you prefer the gopro hero 3 plus or the sony wx300 for making video and taking pictures high and clear quality????? Thanks for answering my question answer back ASAP please
I cant get my samsung galaxy 4 to connect wirelessly.. ant thoughts? I have set them side by side and have cycled thru the menu to make sure it is on etc
2.00pm 24/07/15 - I've had our 2 x Hero 3 Whites now for 4 weeks and can't get the update to work. Keep receiving a FAILED message and that's updating using the cable. Can anyone help, the wife and I are off to a 80klm Mountain Bike challenge in 2 weeks and I'l love to get the cameras to work. I'll take a look at your clip tonight and let you know how I went.
Thanks for great vid , very helpful I have a question the screw to hold the camera casing to the stand die not do up tight ?? enough to stop the casing moving backwards & forwards ...am I doing something wrong ? or are they all like thi , just got mine so know ZIP about thee thing LOL
i have a problem with my gopro hero 3 after i turn it off and turn it on again it wont work it wont turn on i have to take out the battery then put it back in to make it work do you know how to fix that??
Hi i have a hero 3+ silver edition but i am not able to see the super view option it is updated to latest version too of 3.02v it is only showing me 4 resolutiins 1080/960/720/wvga can u pls help me how can i use all the modes.
I juts bought a Go Pro Hero3+ Black edition. I was wanting it to shoot my reviews with but I'm having trouble. When I upload videos to the GoPro studio they lag a lot. After I convert them though they seem to lose quality. It gets even worse when I try to edit them with my other video editing software. My question is this, what video editing software are you using? I need to be able to place overlays on the videos and all of that. Also, will a crappy laptop affect your videos final results. If you can message me or whatever with whatever tips you have for me making video reviews using my GoPro please let me know. Thanks a million
Are you using the Windows or MAC platform? What are the specs of your machine? A slower machine will lengthen the time it takes for you to create and render your video....
Very useful, even in late 2022. I've had this thing in storage and just dug it out to use it. Couldn't remember a thing about it, so you helped a lot! I just hope the batteries still hold a charge.
Me too! Just charging it right now. How did the battery do?
If the battery won't charge, Amazon sells them pretty cheap. My battery hadn't been used for years and it was dead. bought a pack of three on Amazon.
@@PatriciaMM90the battery worked but not well. I did not buy more because the camera is so old. I’m thinking about buying a more modern camera.
Same here mine still working properly! Great 👍
I just bought a used GoPro 3+ Cam... It's well preserved, lets see how the battery works
Here in 2024 after inheriting my late grandpa’s GoPro and the video was amazing💪.
Glad it still helps!
This is so helpful, even 9 years after this video was posted! My dad's co-worked gave him an old go-pro hero 3, and this video helped me set it up! Thank you so much!

Very helpful to a GoPro newbie. Just bought this beauty with loads of accessories from marketplace. Can’t wait to try it surfing.

+iftibashir 6:52 can you tell me what that long slot is just on the left hand side of the rear door opener? looks like its for some kind of cable
Can You View The Videos From Your Gopro On Your Phone?
If you want to attach an additional battery pack or a viewing screen it attaches there and on the back slot

Very useful to someone like me who's looking for one & is new to Gopro. Cheers.

Is the hero3+ silver compatible with a samsung s20 ultra mobile ?
