If you’ve ever had a cat, you’ve almost certainly spent an abnormal amount of time with a laser pointer in your hand as the cat chased it in futility. GoPro used some cats and laser pointers to show off its new GoPro HERO3 cameras and their powerful slow motion capabilities in its latest commercial, which you can see below.
The new GoPro HERO3: Black Edition serves as the flagship of the new lineup with up to 1440p at 48fps, 1080p at 60fps and 720p at 120fps, all of which aid in the slow motion prowess of the new camera.
No doubt that there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the new GoPro Hero3, and for good reason. It’s the best specs we’ve seen on an action cam to date. Check out the above promo video for the Hero3 Black Edition, which contains footage 100% from the Black Edition.
