Cyclocrossers keep making more handlebar, helmet and seatpost videos of cyclocross course previews, exploits and crashes and wide-angle broomstick timer-based photos, and the market for bike GoPro camera mounts is becoming big business. The new Hero 3+ will only make it easier to create even more of the awesome, and boring cyclocross POV videos.

The updated GoPro Hero 3+ comes in the same three editions as the GoPro Hero 3, with the White ($199), Silver ($299) and Black ($399) editions.  The higher models add more megapixels, more video resolution, and the Black edition adds a WiFi remote.
