I just got a Hero3 Black. Though the remote is nice it is not always reliable. Several times on OLoA it simply would not work. Link them up, everything seems to be working fine, then poof..... Nope. Have to remove the battery to get them to re-sync.

The video also stops, then restarts a new file, after about 3.8G's of memory is used in 1080 mode. It did this on one of my BMW and VIR runs.

The audio is horrible. Whoever designed it needs to be kicked in the nads. It's that bad.

Carl,

This firmware is less than two weeks old, appears to have fixed my audio issues.

Hi Scott,

We would like to ask you to update your Black Edition the the latest firmware we released last week. This latest firmware fixes audio issues and we think it will solve the one in your camera:

This is the only video I've had a chance to shoot though......

The audio track is the camera recording the car stereo.

What about the Replay XD 1080?

Another one that "has" potential but what little I've seen indicates the audio is mediocre and it video capabilities are weaker than the other "players" in the market.
