Q: QuestionWhich one should I get? I don't know if the touchscreen will be good as the 4k 30fps

Asked 10 years ago by Beastmode12.

• A:Answer If you prefer to film and grab still shots from a 12 mp frame, then go with the Black version. I had a Hero 3 where I would film my still shots in 4k (was only 12 fps), then switch back to 1080p for my action shots. With the Hero 4 Black, I can nearly always shoot in 4k 30 fps and pull still shots anytime I want. I have the Touchscreen Bacpac and find myself not using more often then not. More important to me is the Battery Bacpac because these are battery hogs, thus making the built in touchscreen pointless.

Q: QuestionBattery life in cold weather?My son snow boards a lot, how long will battery last ?

Asked 10 years ago by Danimal.

• A:Answer The stock battery lasts up to 2.5 hours, and the backpack gives you up to 2.5 hours more. In cold weather, you may loose 10 to 15%, but in the waterproof case the warm camera itself will keep the battery warm enough to negate much loss if any.

Q: QuestionDiffernce between silver and black modelsWhat is the difference between silver and black models besides $100. They seem to have the same specs but different price?

Asked 11 years ago by pix.

• A:Answer Black has no touchscreen but increased Frame-Per-Second capabilities. If you want to grab stillshots from 4k video (30 fps vs 12 fps), go with the Black. If a viewfinder is more important, then go Silver.

Q: QuestionWhat is the best sd card to use in GoPro 4K?I was wondering what is the best sd card to use in a GoPro 4k?

Asked 10 years ago by Dave.

• A:Answer Go for the SANDISC Extreme 64GB version. It's the biggest one usable by the camera, which will give you the longest record time. I tried a different brand and it gave me an error are 25 seconds of recording as it didn't allow the camera to write to the card fast enough. It's expensive at around the 100 dollar mark but it's more expensive missing the action shot where everything happens - usually around the time you run out of space on a smaller card . Hope this helps

Q: QuestionHow good is the sound mic? Could you record a live band, for instance, without audio distortion?

Asked 10 years ago by tg.

• A:Answer In short yes, but lots of variables to consider. You would want to use the GoPro without the protective case and with no audience interference. If it were me, I would want the end xternal mic for even better audio.

Q: QuestionWhat all comes in the box with it?Battery charger, battery, memory card, clear housing, WiFi remote ??? I thought you could get the HERO 3+ with the WiFi remote. Seems like an abnormally high jump in price over the 3+ for what you're getting plus the batteries aren't compatible between the two.
