For all the people here that have a hero3 black that is crashing on you or cutting recording short you should head to the GoPro site and update to the new firmware v3.0 the wifi app v2 has also been released which allows for playback via wifi some files off the camera.

The new firmware has a card check and this appears to do a card test and only supported cards will get 45Mbps write speeds and unsupported cards such as the Sandisk Ultra's limited to 35Mbps which should eliminate all the stability issues that were caused by under performing cards.
Here is the new list of recommended cards and looks as if GoPro are pretty pissed with Sandisk as they have taken all their cards off the list as they were the main cause of stability problems on the hero3 black.
