GoPro - HERO4 Black 4K Action Camera - Black

The GoPro - HERO4 Black never ceases to amaze me; super high resolution in a device so small you can close your fist around it. The image quality is like nothing I've ever seen in a large, expensive camera. Learning all the settings was a matter of experimenting while taking it out hiking, rollerblading, even to the zoo. I bought several of the GoPro mounting accessories; head/helmet, chesty, 3-way selfy stick, etc., and found them easy to use and easy to switch from one to another. I especially like the versatility of the 3-way, adjustable stick. When I downloaded the videos into GoPro Studio for the first time, I was amazed at what I saw, especially the rollerblading footage. I extended the 3-way, adjustable selfy stick and held the camera out so that it could seemingly "fly" through the many trees and foliage that surround the path where I skate, getting as close to the leaves and branches as I could. Every leaf of every frame seemed to be in perfect focus with almost NO motion blur. With all the settings that are possible with this camera you get a wide variety of ways to capture your experiences. It's so good, the only way you would not get the best shot possible is if the camera was turned off.

Wicked action camera for the money! What i like about the hero 4 black: -Burst rate is better and faster -Long exposure is decent -4K at usable frame-rates (hero 3 could only do 15fps) -Sweet 120fps slow motion at 1080 -More wireless connectivity(some hiccups, but can work) -More slow-motion -Sharpness is satisfactory -Low-light is decent enough -More manual control What's not to like? -Battery still not great -No rear touchscreen -Doesn't make bacon pancakes **New manual controls: Finally, you can make exposure adjustments! For instance: for night time-lapses, you usually want longer exposure times/shutter speed, and you can now do it with this little cam. *photos uploaded are from the beach, early morning shore-break photographed some waves using the "30/1" burst shot with the stock water-housing the Gopro came with.

I have had an awesome time with my new GoPro. I would recommend getting extra batteries. When shooting 4k video, you lose battery life very fast! The camera takes spectacular videos as well as photos. Overall a great product.

Having purchased my GoPro Hero 3+ already, the GoPro Hero4 took me by surprise. It is very easy to operate and the new 4K quality along with the one-touch button makes this the camera to have. It takes a few times to get use to the operation change from the Hero 3+ but it's worth it. One of the best features of the Hero 4 is exporting still frames from the videos I shoot. The quality (as seen in the attached photo) proves my point.

This thing is a great. We bought it for our dog who will be apart of my fiance and I's wedding since we did not want to pay for a videographer. The video is beautiful, I cannot believe how good it looks on my macbook. It is actually forcing me to look at 4K TV's in my very near future. At first we only bought this for our wedding. We immediately saw that we will be taking this thing everywhere. We are looking at all kinds of attachments as there are hundreds to pick and choose from. It is very simple to use, I believe I have become very comfortable with it with just about 5 hours of tinkering and playing with it (if that). The only thing I really don't like, is that the attachments are really expensive. You are looking at least $50 for any kind of attachment for this thing. I was also disappointed that it didn't come with at least a hand holding attachment.

I already had a GoPro 3 black so buying another GoPro (4 black) was difficult to justify but when you had a sale, Kristen at Southgate Best Buy convinced me. She explained the superior quality of the digital videos. The 4 K is awesome. A number of my Kayak videos have been turned into GI-TV so a Grosse Ile Township video can be developed to promote tourism and entice visitors to visit Grosse Ile, MI.

I love the camera! I use it everyday as a dash camera. I use the heck out of the time-lapse feature, both night and day modes. Battery life is fine for me. Shooting 4K video will of course drain the battery rather quickly, but shooting video at 1080P at 30fps it will last between 2-3 hours. I have a harness that I use on my dog.. good times! Honestly can't say enough good things about the camera. Thus the rating is based on the purchase of the camera. Side note, GoPro software and GoPro Studio Software are a bit finicky. (Free to download from manufactures website) You will need to have Quicktime installed on the computer in order to be able to import your media. However, Quicktime does not need to be used nor set as a default program for the GoPro software to function. Which is great for us Windows users. If you have questions, their tech support has been their to help. Some techs are smarter than others but overall I would give them a "B" grade in support. To some things up, If you enjoy shooting all types of photography and video I would strongly recommend this camera. I would do some research on which model works best for your wants/needs but since the Hero 4 Black was on sale, I couldn't resist.

Whats to say that hasnt been said about this camera. Its really nice and shoots beautiful video. I chose this over the hero5 due to the hardcase and it saved me when i dropped it into a waterfall and it went flying off my headmount. Capturing video along the way. Only downside is that it uses the older type of charger that none of my electronics have and having wifi activated and shooting in 4k will drain the battery fairly quickly.
