GoPro's 2013 mid-range action camera — 1080p 60fps with improved low-light and WiFi built in.
The GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition was released in 2013 as the mid-tier action camera in the Hero 3 generation, with a maximum video resolution of 1080p/60fps. Waterproofing to 40m (131ft) is achieved via the bundled waterproof housing — the camera body itself is not natively waterproof. No video stabilisation. Body weight approximately 74-77g.
1080p/60fps maximum video (also 960p/60fps, 720p/120fps). Waterproof to 40m (131ft) with included housing only — not natively waterproof. No electronic image stabilisation. Wi-Fi built-in. Approximately 74-77g camera body. MicroSD card. Compatible with GoPro 3-prong mounting system.
The Hero 3+ Silver sits below the Hero 3+ Black (which added 4K video) in the lineup: the Silver's maximum 1080p/60fps was practical for most action sports at 60fps, while the Black added 4K/15fps as a higher-resolution option. The housing-based waterproofing is the Hero 3 generation norm — native waterproofing without a housing arrived with the Hero 5 Black in 2016. The compact housing-included form factor enabled early GoPro's reach into dive photography.
On the used market the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver is very affordable as vintage GoPro action camera. Condition checks: housing integrity and seal condition (required for waterproofing), lens element for scratches, battery condition (Hero 3 proprietary battery), and SD card slot. Maximum 1080/60fps — no 4K. No native waterproofing (housing required). No interchangeable mount.
