GoPro HERO4 BLACK

I am no video expert but this camera is great. It's easy to use and the video quality produced is simply excellent. The integration with PC's, tablets and phones is excellent via well written and useful apps. The shear flexibility of video modes is great giving multiple options for resolution, framerate and FOV as well as clever features to help capture the "right" moments. The wide FOV modes are awesome for filming action - even when moving point the camera in broadly the right direction still gets what you were trying to record - you may not win an Oscar for your cinematography but you won't miss what you were trying to film!There are loads of accessories available out there for it enabling lot's of creativity in terms of filming.I was slightly surprised by the battery life, however. It is shorter than I expected and I'd recommend getting a spare battery if you plan to try to capture on than about 20 minutes of footage at any given time.

I've had slight love/hate relationship with this GoPro, but it could all be down to being unlucky..I'm now on my 3rd GoPro Hero4 Black Edition, after returning the previous two due to similar hardware/software issues. They would work great for the first month, but after some simple usage, would not record properly to the SD card (It would record a green, flashing, screen, with distorted audio, and sometimes no audio). I have three, GoPro recommended, SD cards that I tested with the faulty GoPro's to ensure consistency.You might be wondering why I've given 5 stars after these issues. Well the GoPro customer support is absolutely outstanding. Probably the best I've ever dealt with. They get right to the point, and if your problems are unsolvable, have no qualms about sending you a new device in an expedient fashion.The GoPro itself is fantastic, and I love recording @ 120fps to get the insanely smooth slow motion effect on the videos once editing. Produces wonderfully crisps quality @ 4k & 1080p. I'd suggest however, that it only be used for activities, sports, and any action-type moments. Trying to use this to capture to beautiful architecture of a city is not the way to go, as the nature of the fish-eye lens makes the buildings seem too far away, even when up close. May seem pretty obvious, but I learnt the hard way after a trip to Rome!

Haven't looked back. What an amazing piece of kit. Managed to pick it up on a lightening deal early one morning.Great wide angle to capture a fantastic range. Yes there is no view finder but you learn to trust the unit, point and click and the huge wide angle captures what you were after and more with ease.Easy to use. Rugged Managing to survive sea, winds and children. No issues fogging up with ours after a good few months of use mainly in water. I know this can be an issue and little anti fog strips are available.So many adapters and ways to attach it to so many things. Working our way through many of the options.I was lucky to get this on a seemingly rare Amazon Lightning deal and was happy to snap up the camara for the deal price. For the amount of use we have got from it and the fantastic images and memories we have captured it has defiantly been worth it.

Product arrives in term and it was as described. I would recommend the product and the seller. Thanks.About the camera, display way to small. forget about film in low light - terrible results even in a dark day.Battery life poor if you consider there's no big display or lights. The 4k is just great, the camera is so small and robust. That's all i got to say so far... hope it helps.

Overwhelmed with how good this camera is. I purchased this GoPro to record a kickboxing event consisting of 17 bouts over 4 hours. Coupled with a RavPower Xtreme 2300 external battery pack and a SanDisk 64gb micro sd card the job was executed with ease. I recorded at 720p (as I wasn't sure how much i'd be able to fit on the card) and the quality was fantastic and without any issues. The GoPro was mounted up high above the ring on a ringside light stand so I needed to be able to control it from a distance enabling full control of each fight from to start and finish. This was done with the free GoPro app downloaded to my iPhone. This allowed me to view what was being recorded and put marker points at the desired points of recording. I could change the settings remotely which was brilliant.I've also recently recorded in 4k and i'm blown away by the sharpness, colour range and focusing. Great accessory for anyone interested in normal video recording, time lapse, night time lapse, slow motion etc etc etc.Great for underwater recording too coupled with a selfie stick for range.

I bought this thinking I'd take it backpacking and make awesome videos and take cool pics etc etc. Basically fell for the marketing campaign. Don't get me wrong it's a great piece of kit but unless you know what your doing with it and have all the right accessories for the activities you're doing, it's kinda useless. Pictures are okay but not better than my phone (at the time HTC one m8). Video quality is really good as you would expect but make sure you have the right memory card and plenty of spare batteries. Extracting the pics and vids is a job on its own. I was trying to do everything with my phone as I didn't travel with a laptop and tbh I got fed up after a while and stopped using it. I'm sure with all the right add ons and a decent laptop the whole experience of owning a go pro would be much better. Its just not for me.
