I run 720 if I think I'll want slo-mo for the frame rate, otherwise 1080.  I'll have to look at the website and see if I can get a good card on Amazon or something.
With the black edition?

Yup.

Am I doing it wrong?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Nope it should be 720 @ 120fps if your doing slow mo shots.
The biggest factor people dont take into play is the exposure rating for the gopro that goes along with the fps. (May not matter for what your doing) but for better picture in lower light settings go with the lowest fps you can. Bright situations, high fps... low light , low fps.. it will help with overall color.
Back to the slow mo. It very would could be your sd card. The slower mbps cards arent able to pick up the full potential of the picture the camera is actually putting out, thats why the better card you get = better picture. Itss able to read and store what the cameras actually doing and not dumb down some of it like lower grade cards do. Some of the low grade class 10's are even know to lock up your camera just because its overworking. I typically always use 720 60fps for my standard shooting because its a good balance and I dont really need to fiddle with mym camera much. The new gopro that just camme out recently has somme ammazing 1440 settings.

First of all, the caps button is located on the left labeled "Caps Lock" why dont ya go ahead and give that a press one time.  :tup:

The Hero 3 Black is of the top of the line HD action cams on the market right now, So it all depends on what your trying to shoot.
If its for hunting specifically, a GOPRO may not be your best option... If its for bird hunting it may be a decent option as to its POV and versatility.
If you want something to record hunts, hold a lower profile, and be able to mount to the side of your head like some of the solvid camera head mounts, the CONTOUR may be a better option.

Again it all depends on what your looking for.

THANX SMOSSY !WHERE WOULD I FIND THAT SIDE MOUNT , CONTOUR,AND WHAT PRICE RANGE AM I LOOKING AT,or better yet ! know anybody getting rid of a used set up ?again thanx this is a whole new world to me in hunting,mainly for elk with a bow.just tired of come back with nothing but stories,I've been hunting elk all of my 55 years practically and i think this could really be some fun,so any help is a big help.i keep asking this question,but no response ?,so here goes again,have you seen these guys that scope spot big mulies ,then slowly move in on the deer behind a movable blind that two guys move along with sometimes taking hours, and usually get the critters they seek !they get out of there trucks and stART stuffing this blind piece they have with the things that are growing on the ground where they park,method of choice is a bow ,so I'm completely in , and doing this next season,but I'm hoping to find somebody that has seen this or knows something about it,maybe just because? (IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DREAM I HAD, UP AGAINST A TREE ONE DAY,I JUST DONT KNOW !!?? )BUTIT JUST MIGHTTWIRK ?? :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :IBCOOL:
