A:Answer Yes it will work for YouTubing, it does record in 4K just remember 4K does take up quite a bit of space on SD card so you may wanna pick up a extra one while ya there, the cable you use to charge the go pro is usb on one end and connects to go pro with the other end, I just plug go pro in on the one end and connect the usb end to the TV and/or my lap top, also down load the go pro app to your phone and u can wirelessly transfer anything/everything from your go pro to the app. Hope this helps you, the go pro is quite a bit of money but I’m completely satisfied I have mine mounted to my fishing kayak and it works awesome, def a plus that it’s water proof out of the box and voice activated.
