Hey dude this is the best video I'd found about this 2 gopro, u have no idea! Thank you very much, u really helped me to decide which one to buy! Keep doing it well! Greetings from Mexico
whitch? :)
Great review. I use the HERO to record my flights. Still, I think it's the best value between the two.
Thank you so much for this comparison! I'm so excited because I might getting a GoPro very soon, and this helps a LOT!
Very good video, keep up the good work man. You are good at these kind of technical video. Have nice day!
@xplssmio Can't respond to you directly because of your privacy settings. I have other videos at night in Disney with other cameras or maybe even these. What exactly are you looking for?
Hi, Thank you for the video. It's very comprehensive.
Im a new user and just had a Gopro Hero+ without the LCD, given to me as a gift.
I was wondering if I can get a LCD to attach to the camera for a better experience.
Awesome review!
Was on the fence between the two but decided to go with the Hero+ because of the WiFi capability!
Thanks again!
+Jessica Gomes We also have a review of the +LCD with these 2 cameras cameras that covers a bit more. ua-cam.com/video/49ncmDVT2mc/v-deo.html
Damn... the best review side by side... keep up the good work...you have new subs...
Thanks for posting and taking the time to make this comparison..
+robert martinez :D
It's just me, or the sound on Hero+ is worse than the Hero 2014?
Cosmin2Day ye it does sound bad...
LOL
i might have remembered seeing someone filming this at disney lol
Hey! Excellent video and I really like the menu you made in the beginning
+Cheng Zhang It's good for second viewing references and respecting the viewers time :D
Just stumbled upon your video man, and I must say, the most in depth and detailed video, and you earnt a Sub, just a quick question, you said in the video that you can run your GoPro Hero (2014) with a battery pack while recording? How do you do that, I tried doing that with my USB battery pack, and I wasn't able to record while charging
Utkarsh Anand It's needs to be providing a certain level of voltage to record and charge at the same time. If you're battery backup has 2 USB ports (one meant for tablets for example and one for phone) plug it into the tablet or higher voltage port. Should work.
great video I just picked up the hero+ for my cruise...
Thanks Mark. You answered my questions. For a beginner the Hero is the one to get. Mainly due to the difference in cost. Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening) No worries Bob. I wish the LCD version was cheaper. It makes the whole experience so much better but it's hard to drop $299 for the alone.
Very thorough, nice work.
I just bought the hero+. did a night drive video and when I watched the footage on the computer it was extremely pixelated.
my biggest let down between these two cameras are the audio. I noticed in my video the audio was very fuzzy and did not pick up lower spikes while in your comparison video the hero with stereo audio was AMAZING. I'm extremely upset with that being a $300 camera. either way I'm looking forward to the rummage shoot quality and editing in studio. I may try to split the audio and clear it and boost it a bit the import it on 2 channels. see what that does.. I'd also be bumping the contrast up some and testing out the spot focusing for the lighting.
+Dillon1791 For audio, did you have the Open back door on or the underwater one?
@markhawkcam Firstly, thanks for this lovely video and beautiful images and subvideos inside. I was think to buy one and know a lot alredy. Basicly you're showing how a comparison can be made between two cameras or similar devices at the same time. Good job!
+Faris Atmaca Thanks :D
thank you it helped me see the difference between the two
Great review! Thanks a lot!
which of the two makes videos with better quality?
This was very helpful. Thank you.
what cover did you use for this by the way? Is it the open one or the waterproof one (guessing the open one)? Can you make a sample of both gopro (if possible gopro 4 silver too) with the waterproof cover on?
Great informative video! I was just wondering if the audio on the hero and hero+ without the lcd is the same? I want all the features of the hero+lcd without the lcd cause it's cheaper, but the audio on the hero seams a lot better which I want. So I'm looking at buying the hero+ but want to make sure the audio is as good as the hero.
+Charlie Egen I would check out this comparison where we put all 3 side by side. Should help show the differences between the + and +LCD. ua-cam.com/video/49ncmDVT2mc/v-deo.html&lc=z12dvbk41ru5gtzgi04cedtjbzqpc1rxcc0
+MarkHawkCam Ya I watched that video before and the only thing it didn't compare was the audio between the 3, other than that it was an awesome video! I just ordered the hero+ Thanks though!
Thanks! Now I know what to expect !!
I'm just curious where the Internal Mic is on the Go Pro Hero I see no holes ??
Hi Mark, I have to decide between this two model gopro, the Hero+ and Hero4 Session. Based on your opinion which is better ? The price tag is same right..
+Aiman. Mohd Nor I'd go with the Session. Not really sure at it's current price who the GoPro Hero+ is meant for. Session has a few advantages that to me out weigh it's cons to me. Also has some great and strong support from GoPro going forward. I can see the Hero+ being discontinued sometime early next year.
If I was to use the Plus model to record a guitarist/singer, Would the quality be alright? Are there mids that can be attatched?
Is the audio with the go pro here with the closed case on the back m8? Any info would be i would be greatfull for thanks
Nice...this video answered my question about the battery...i was wondering if you can use the Hero+ while its charging with a usb charger. I like the review
+bboylawless Yes you can but you'd need the same power to charging something like a Tablet. Most outlet based charges push this out or tower computers. For battery back ups or laptops you might need to make sure it's putting out at least 2.4Amps
Great comparison. Thank You :)
You should do a video on hero 4 session and Hero+ without LCD since they are both now $199, it would help a lot
+Luis Madrigal It's being suggest a lot. Plan on starting it but I let a friend take it to see the Northern lights. When they get back ;)
as of right now which one would you recommend going for? I'm trying to get the one with the best quality
+Luis Madrigal Personally would go for the Session. GoPro supports it more, battery life is pretty comparable, and offers more features that appeal to me. GoPro isn't backing down on the Session design and I expect the Hero+ will be discontinued or become the base lower end model in 2016.
+MarkHawkCam so the session's video quality is better than the hero+?
+MarkHawkCam should I get the Hero 3+ Silver instead? I believe it's $230 on Amazon. Hoping for a video on Hero+ and Session will be posted very soon. Been researching on whether to get Hero+, Session or Hero 3+ Silver. Hard to decide...
Hey bud thanks for the review. What memory card did you say you had? Is it 10 and 32gb
+Michael Freeman I have a few suggestions in the more information section below the video. Some are the ones I personally use on these cameras, some are a little better, and a few user selected ones. :D
Very informative, great video! I just picked up the GoPro HERO for $129.00, what I have noticed it it suffers in low light (Gets blurry and lots of noise in the image quality) In your video you showcased the GoPro HERO+ LCD. Do you know if the HERO+ (Non LCD) shoots at the same bit rate? I am willing to spend an extra $50.00 for the 1080p 60fps but not 100.00 for the LCD option. Even with my HERO 3+ I do not use the LCD much. It's not a feature I have to have.
+Melita DeLeon I'll know this weekend. Going to try and pick up one Sunday before jumping on a plane for a trip. Expecting it to be on par with the Hero+ LCD but no way to say for sure.
+MarkHawkCam Thanks very much! I am curious to see the results.
how do you charge it and do you need a computer for it
Mark I need to know what kind of micro SD card u have here in this video tomake a long video.
I put a few suggestions in the more information section below the video along with some user suggestions. Keep in mind these cameras might only accept 32-64gb cards depending on which one you have.
+MarkHawkCam thank you for the reply I like your review,I got a hero+ thats why im asking about the SD card I hope u make a video comparison hero+ or hero+ LCD vs hero 4
thanks so much... just bought the hero+
Nice
Still don't know if to buy the hero 4 session or the go pro hero + lcd screen.
I don't expect much support for the Hero basic series going forward (Hero, Hero+, Hero+ LCD) since they've been discontinued. The Hero4 Session however is still in production and probably a becon for somethings GoPro hopes to keep doing in the future.
Im looking at filming soccer match to send to coaches for schlorships etc mainly ..which camera would be better? and this may be a stupid question but how do you know what your recording on the hero as theres no lcd screen i get the general direction of where aiming but when zooming or moving side to side on ttipod filming soccer match? Thanks
+S74T1C Your field of view is so wide that you quickly get use to where to angle it. For you though, you might want a camera that films in 1440p because you'll capture more verticle space. So you can not worry about aiming too low or too high. You get the sky to your feet. I would suggest the Hero3+ Black or Hero4 Silver. I would mount it to your chest better stability and the twisting/shakey head can be hard to watch on playback. I would wait till early October to see if new GoPro's get announced and if those cameras do, it'll drive the prices down of these. I'd also check out the Germin VirbXE. records a lot of on field stats (speed, heart beat, gps, etc...) that you could overlay and send to recruiters. Might be a good option, plus the quality is really good as well. Best of luck out there ;D
+MarkHawkCam thank you for the information i will check it out! However i wont be wearing the camera because im not allowed to once playing instead it will be on a tripod filming so what would be best for that? Reason im looking at action camcorders is because i would alos use the camera on days out and trips etc as in your video. I was only looking at £80/90 possible but after looking see this might not be possible now looking round £180/200 mark so hero 3 would fit into that?
Might want to check out the Xiaomi Yi. I put up a comparison with it against one of the newer GoPros. Might be the best bang for your buck.
thank you for your review. gonna buy one now. hero + :)
Have you tested the GoPro hero and the hero+ no lcd?
Thank you
Are we able to connect an external mic to either option?
ChesBrothas yes
VyprMoto no! you cant
thank u the vid helped me alot
great review
I just bought a gopro hero+, have yet to open it but now I'm watching all these videos that really just proves that it's audio sucks..... Should i got the hero 4 session instead? would like to vlog.... audio matters a lot to me.
Help!
Is the Gopro hero+ waterproof????
was the battery test conducted with wifi on or off?
+ThePoolboy789 off
Hy ! I have a older Gopro 960 and it just stoped to see the memory SD card. everything seems to work fine, only it doesn't see the any card. It charges, I can move through menus etc. Maybe you can give me a sugestion ? Ty !
I had the same problem with my go-pro hero. Try the SD card in another device, my SD card was apparently broken so that was the problem not the the go-pro itself.
So i guess the older version is better?
hey i just made this purchase and want to know what should my setting be i have the hero+, so far i made a couple of videos and took some pics can you help me set it up please
Personally I keep a lot of what the defaults are for the Hero+. 1080p 60fps or 30fps if the sunlight is starting to get limited.
thanks for the video!
hello i have gopro hero i do so some videos i wanna share them and facebook he dont accept them whats the solution please
Not too sure. Should upload without issue. I assume it has to be an export issue. I would try a different export format. .mov or .mp4 should work without issue. I'd contact facebook support or google the rror you're getting to google to see if others have faced the same issue you have.
The only difference I see is color temp differences.... I doubt the camera components have changed at all, but instead GoPro probably just tweaked the color temp on the Hero+ to be a bit cooler. With current firmware can you adjust color temp on the Hero+ or Hero? If you can't then this is just another reason to get the Hero 4 Black.
So... Which one would you buy? Hero or hero+? Im looking for opinions, ty
personally I would go for a used hero3+ as its the same price and the housing is removable,if u are looking for a cheaper GoPro then the hero 2014 is the way to go. the hero+ LCD is a risky bid
+n1sm0 thank you😊 i will keep that in mind
very good comparison.. presentation was helpful.. =)
I need an answer...I'm using the SanDisk Extreme Plus 32gb for my hero+ and my videos are choppy when I play it on my phone(through gopro app) why is that?
Panduh same dude
Nice Video!
Can i get the HERO + to look warmer??
Using the free GoPro Studio software, yes. In the camera you are locked to the Color Profileon the camera. You can also buy any Hero4 filters to put on this camera like these: amzn.to/29t8Fou
have 2014 model ... looking for anyone who has done experiments with this model ... has any 1 tried to use external flash drive as extended memory
Can gopro hero+ can connet ur phone and use the gopro capture app ?
The GoPro hero+ can connect to the capture app on the iPhone, but the GoPro Hero is only connected to the laptop or computer to view pictures
I don't get why they don't add a dashcam feature on the GoPro Hero, like they do with the other versions. I mean, just allow it to continuesly record in a loop. Should be perfectly doable via a firmware upgrade
+NesS0007 they do have loop.
not on the cheapest model
NesS0007 which one do you have i have the hero + which has the loop.
Good video bro thansk
I know this is so long ago so I doubt anyone will reply but I'm making a video and the beginning will have clips with the Original hero I lost this camera at the lake so I was going to invest in the hero plus do you think the video will look bad if I have two different go pros recording the segments throughout the video? I'm just not sure whether to get the same camera or a different one so I can have the LCD.
Great thing about the Hero cameras is they are all fairly similar in color profile. I think you'd be find with either camera you go with the exception of the Hero3 series. Those were very warm. I'd say go with the Hero+ LCD (really ended up liking this model even if it was expensive) or the Hero4 Session (Good bang for the reduced price plus really smart firmware updates)
Shit, GREAT VIDEO! Bravo! Very informative. Hell, GoPro should hire you.
Is The GoPro Hero+ The Same As The GoPro Hero+ LCD As Far As Quality?
+MeleeKill Just wrapped up recording a side by side from Orlando this week. Wer'll have a 3-way side by side with GoPro Hero as well up sometime by weeks end I hope.
GoPro Hero $199 ? And the LCD $299 ?
But when i see on the website they said the Hero just $129.99 & the LCD is -+$329
So where is the true price ?
VJ Weming Hero is roughly $129. Can you point out where I said it was $199? I'll add an correction
MarkHawkCam Like at the part where you said if it's worth paying the differences, first showing night scenes...idkk
+VJ Weming The Gopro Hero + LCD (the one he's using) is $299, the Gopro Hero + (same thing but without the LCD screen) is $199, and the Gopro Hero is $129 I think.
Dude I just bought a Gopro hero and the audio isn't nearly as good as this. I'm confused.
Which bac door are you using?
I just figured out opening it helps. I'm an idiot. Hahaha
haha, I can't recall if it's included with all Hero models but there is a more open bac door. If you aren't near water, I'd use that one.
Thanks for the video. Someone just gave me one of these 2014 heros. I dont have a small enough SD to try it yet. It looks almost as good as my hero 6. But somehow my 3 year old galaxy phone takes better video 😂 weird.
3:33 Tom Sawyer Island?
I miss that voice :)
GoPro hero+ or hero 4 session?
+VICKE VIRE Working on it currently. Just need some underwater footage.
MarkHawkCam thank yuo
thank you!!!!
wat about likegopro hero plus vs hero 5 stuff like tat

$120
+MennoGFX dollars and euros are different COMMON SENSE
Is this a hero+ LCD?
Andy Nguyen yea I think he's talking about the + Lcd sine he sad the + has a screen
Thanks because they are affordable now
The perfect video for me.
Alex the Jalapeno Thx for it!!!
Alex the Jalapeno Awesome Man great job, love you vids.
Alex the Jalapeno Thanks :D
MarkHawkCam Dude, the Panasonic hx-a1, I'm waiting on you!
***** have my money tied into the new Garmin line right now. Been an expensive spring. Not sure I can fully swing it as much as I want to. :( Been trying to get a review copy but haven't heard back. Maybe if enough people tweet at them to send me a review unit we could get somewhere ;)
MarkHawkCam I'm on it! I'll get everybody I can to tweet to them. I'll call Panasonic too!
Bruh, no low light footage in Disneyland, other than inside Star Tours? I'm disappointed. I've been looking for low light Disneyland footage all over. Once I saw you were at the Disneyland parking structure, I thought for sure I'd get to see what I was looking for.

Dude that's seriously offensive. She can't help it, you douche.
They're filming midgets!

Cancer Man osmo pocket people now
i can't find to buy the gopro hero+!!
Why are you comparing 30 frames vs 60 frames if the video is going to be in 30 frames?!
+BATTLE Troll When you film at 60fps in some cameras there can be a huge quality dip. If you were buying the Hero+ mainly for the 60fps but wanted to know if it made any quality sacrifices or if those sacrifices made it worse the the Hero+'s 30fps, this test was designed to show that.
2019
Forever gopro hero 2014 fantasty
Disneyland!!!! Hahahahah awesome
finally!
Hero is way better looking at the price difference. That much of a price difference for slightly better quality and an lcd screen? Might as well get a hero 3 and buy lcd instead. The hero is way more worth it
+BeysGamez Or just buy the hero+ w/o lcd
The gopro hero looks better to me
To me its to warm and not as realistic
Hero is 129
Unless you have $260 buy hero barley different
Too much time spent of comparing the image quality. The major differences are the settings for time lapse and frame rate. .... and the LCD scene is very usful. I have a Hero not the plus.....My advice is ...go for the hero and if you really want to go better get the silver.....not the plus.
+ROY F There is no LCD on either of these models.
you uploaded in 30 fps and your trying to show the difference....
Yep, a lot of the formats are limited to 30fps. The 60 vs 30 section is playing back at 30fps so there is no loose of frames. You are still seeing all the information recorded. If you wanted to see which has better smooth playback, it'd be the same as playing that section at twice its speed. You'd still have all the frames if you wanted to do so.
MarkHawkCam I still don't understand why you didn't upload in 60 fps to truly show the difference, do you have any other videos that show it?
+Isaac Pittman (Don't have many videos at 60fps. Below is why. Will link to one featuring the As200 when I get home.) I can't upload at 60 because a lot of the resolutions and formats record at different frame rates but most can do 30fps. This is the manufactures best ideal settings. Playback at 60fps is not the best quality in terms of bit rate / image quality. It's not far off. Our 60fps section recorded at 60fps but playback is at 30fps. If I could export something that ramped the frame rate through UA-cam I would but it's frame rate is baked in. So you aren't missing frames playing at. It's playing back slower but it's giving you twice as much time to see each frame then you would if it was playing at 60. Playing back at 30 is also a gold way to see if the camera is taking any shortcuts to film at 60fps. Things like interlacing frames, really lowering the bit rate, or other data stripping to write to the card or appear to fake doing true 60fps.
+Isaac Pittman At around 1:12 till 1:40ish we are using the AS200V at 60fps.

MarkHawkCam thanks! really like that video!
dinsey world?
+fifamonster 123 DisneyLand
+MarkHawkCam ok
thank you so much for the video! That's what I was looking for
lol this is why I'm going to buy hero+ over hero and for me it's only a 10 dollar difference and it has wifi and a LCD screen
