My hero3 with the newest firmware from Nov 12. version HD3.02.00,95 DID NOT fix the random freezing at start of recording. I am still experiencing this random freezing which is symptomatically the same as my hero2 freezing until I had reverted the firmware to the pre-protune version firmware.
Here is my video review of the new GoPro Hero 3.
I compare the video and audio quality to the Hero 2.
I also include some important info on the protune feature and camera freezing.
