Attached this to the front of my motorcycle while taking a 1,100
mile trip to Denver, CO. I used it with the wifi backpack and remote
control.

Be aware when purchasing that there are some
aspects to the new "improved" lens that may not be for everyone. This
week it has been fairly well documented (and confirmed by GoPro) that
while the new lens produces much sharper images under 4', they are
blurrier at distances greater than 4'. It does NOT focus at infinity.
For reasons not fully explained, they moved the focal point of the lens
in close and sacrificed distance clarity.
Update at bottom.
You
will get great shots under 4' and soft focus beyond that. Depending on
what you want it for, this camera may not be for you and the regular H3
might be a better bet. Since this is an effect of the lens it applies
to both stills and video. On the other hand, it's still a decent small
action camera, and if you take a lot of video in motion you may not
notice this at all. For YouTube uploads and streaming it may not
matter, I haven't tested this myself. If you want better clarity in your
images the 3B is a good choice. I personally will play with it this
week before deciding if I should return it. (Update: it's going back.)
It
boggles the mind that they have produced a camera that claims to have a
better lens and ignored the fact that it is in fact worse for 90% of
what you'll be filming. Great clarity on your handlebars but not so
good on the scenery.
Edit: other pluses- the color is much better
with the 3+ than the 3. Low light shooting is also better, although
sometimes lens flare from lights is a little worse, sometimes better.
No more chromatic aberration (yellow/purple fringing). Just do some
reading before buying this, they made some trade-offs in the new lens.Read more */-*-
