Hands down the best review of the GoPro on UA-cam. It's obvious that you spent a lot of time on putting this video together and wanted you to know that it's greatly appreciated. To all other reviewers out there, this is how you do a review!!! Excellent job!
I enjoyed the review as I just purchased the Hero 4 Black, but something I'm really NOT impressed with is your general lack of interaction with your audience. On many of your videos you have comments with very good questions that you could easily provide an answer to for your viewers, but 90% of the time you simply ignore everyone who posts comments/questions. Kinda renders all the work you put into these reviews (50% useless). I hope you will genuinely work on improving that.. It will help your ratings go up a lot. Thanks for taking the time to create the content; excellent quality.
A very detailed introduction. Thank you!!! You cleared quite a few things to me. This are quite complicated cameras for someone who is handling this device for the first time. Your explanation for sure is not a master class but for more detailed explanation I better should pay quite a few bucks in a GO-PRO class anywhere , they are quite expensive, so, thank you again for your "starter impulse".
This is an EXCELLENT video review! Even at 23 minutes It was no problem to watch the entire thing. I wanted a Gopro 4 black after seeing the "adventure of a life" promo video in 4K at work. I was blown away by the quality of the video. Now I see that one can actually use the button on the side to go through all the pertinent menu items, which is a big plus. Thank you! Mark
I just bought a premium used GP4 and you never mentioned linear mode that removes the barreling lens distortion. How can you criticize the lens and not mention this feature? I guess you didn't do all your homework.
Nice review man, have the go pro hero 3+ was considering the 4 but might wait for the 4+ I would like to see a better frame rate at the 720p. Thanks for posting.
Kudo's.. Very comprehensive and well laid out details of this camera and it's capabilities. Job VERY well done. As another suggested which I agree, the best on UA-cam. You would make an excellent instructor. ✔✔✔✔✔+
Why does the GoPro doesn't have a LED lighting, To Light up though your search??? It's really Impossible to Look at The I-Cons unless if You put a Light really Close into the Go pro.
Great detailed video. Only complaint is the location you were shooting in. Would prefer to see sunny skies, blue water etc. My action vacation or activities will not be in overcast rainy location.
Very good video, I do have a question or two as to my use. I plan to use it more in my car as a dash cam. What settings would be best for eliminating the round horizion and give me good clear videos for three hours of battery life [or the most battery life for a decent quality video?Also is there a way I can run it off of my car battery? My GoPro is the Black 4.Vin
I have a sony hdraz1 and not happy when the battery runs out then the files crash and come home to have only 2 outta six videos I pissed!going to sell it and maybe get this but the battery issue got me thinking what to do!Thanks for the great review thumbs up!
I charged the battery for about 4hrs and the recording did not last close to 1 hour? Maybe 20 minutes. The store I bought the gopro4 black does not have extra batteries but wouldn't this one battery last at least 45minutes?
I just checked my HERO4 and found out I do have a 16gb Sandisk MicroSD, Which works perfectly fine with 4k. I've filled up the entire SD with it once, and it was fine. Class 10, too.
Would you recommend this camera for shooting 4k videos in a semi truck? I'm worried now that the camera heats up fast after just 45 minutes and I want to record for hours.
Hi. first of all I wanted to say thank you for the review ! I have a question : for some astronomical purposes we have to open the shutter for about 1 hour or even more . Is this possible in this cameras ? And I wanted to know if Go pro cameras have the ability to be updated(software) ? I mean if there's something that the camera is able to do but there is no option in software , can the GoPro company release some kind of an update that fixes the problem ?
Is it worth to buy the gopro hero 4 or a less expensive video camera?I am going to use it more like indoor events and shooting videos but i would love to film extreme sports like skiing, kayaking etc.
I'd say it's worth it. From my experience it's very versatile. I've used it from school movie project filming to mounting it to an RC car and getting super smooth high quality video, even on jumps and high speed 80kph driving.
Got my gopro hero 4 with a gopro suction cup mount and a gopro selfie stick for 250$ Very pleased with the picture quality, although the battery life really sucks....
It's a fantastic camera. The quality is crystal clear and looks marvellous when I mount it to my RC car. Even at high speeds and high vibration environments, it will prevail to look amazing. It really depends on the lighting. If the thing you're recording is dark and indoors, you may need to look for some tutorials to improve your lighting. Overall, just from my experience, the GoPro HERO4 Black is an amazing camera.
***** I haven't tried workout videos but the massive FOV means you can get heaps of content into the shot, which is excellent because you don't have to worry about the camera not capturing you. You can move all over the place and it'll still capture you. So, I imagine it would be great for workout videos. Just mount, press record, and no worries.
Great GoPro Hero 4 Black review. The GoPro Hero 4 Black really is a great GoPro camera but it really is true, GoPro changing the battery again in the release of the GoPro Hero 4 Black is really disappointing. I still bought a GoPro Hero 4 Black so I can't be that disappointed :-)
Can you make vlogs on this camera? Like does it have a good mic? Because I wanted to use this for my channel to get longer and better recordings so can u answer this question please
guys,, can anyone help???? i would like to get the narrow field of view (ideal for diving,, makes objects look closer and more real) and get the maximum quality out of my camera.. with the gopro 4 black.. on the gopro 3 i was using 1080 narrow field of view.. no narrow field of view in 4K mode.. can anyone explain the term scaling?? or maybe filming in 4K and then zoom in editing,, do i lose quality if i go for example from 1080 wide to 1080 narrow??? why size remains the same( 1080 x 1920)??excuse my ignorance))) thnx a lot for any explanation!!!

So you was able to get more than an hr out of the battery. Crap I got this and in scared to open the package.. battery life is a major when your on a bike. Wonder if I can plug in a steady power source and not worry about time limits
Well I opened it and im pissed. Less than an hr at 720 and I dont have a 4k tv. Plus a max of 64gb sd mini sux. My phone is 139gb....pffft. im taking it back
Well I took it back and swapped for the hero 3 plus silver. I think its gonna be good but I dont have a tv thats 1080p. Good thing I have a gaming laptop. I think I like it but the battery life is still sorta crappy. But I saw this awesome giant car battery for it and im gonna grab it. 8m actually playing with it right now and it looks good at night. Srill the true test is on my bike and its colder than ever out here so that may have to wait

The most comprehensive review on the Hero 4 Black ever created! Many thanks for your efforts!
thanks for the review, just got mine!
+6Foot4Honda how long in your use does the battery life last? Also would you suggest the reg hero4 instead for motovloging?

What a great review! Thank you!! Most "reviews" that I have tried to watch could not answer even one question that I have had. :]
You should clean the lens see allot of the shot looks like you have a smudge on the lens.
You sir have my like. You definitely deserve more recognition and subs :D
This is an EXCELLENT video review! Even at 23 minutes It was no problem to watch the entire thing.

Picked up mine today Hurrah !
Useful analysis my friend. Like it.
Great review. Great personality ! Thanks
Beautiful guitar playing, my friend :)
Very impressed with your indept review thanks! Btw do you live in Greater Vancouver BC? The places in your sample vids looks familiar
Your audio sounds great! What is your setup?
if only it was 2.7k super view 60fps
Nice review, very detailed. I bought one. I have the Hero 3+ Silver
and I hope the accessories work with it. Thx for sharing
Why does the GoPro doesn't have a LED lighting, To Light up though your search??? It's really Impossible to Look at The I-Cons unless if You put a Light really Close into the Go pro.
+iskadobadsf (+Matthias Koebrich), you get two additional backdoors with the LCD (waterproof and open).
Solid review! thanks!
Great detailed video. Only complaint is the location you were shooting in. Would prefer to see sunny skies, blue water etc. My action vacation or activities will not be in overcast rainy location.
I really want to see the hero 4 black edition compared to the 3+ black edition but i dont see any videos of that

nice work with GoPro
Which program you mount? When I mount on my UA-cam poor quality and you can see the pixels and squares and you do not have
I charged the battery for about 4hrs and the recording did not last close to 1 hour? Maybe 20 minutes. The store I bought the gopro4 black does not have extra batteries but wouldn't this one battery last at least 45minutes?
Gopro Hero 4 black does have the 720p @240fps option!
you didnt say what is the bitrate ( Mbits/s) when shooting video. Can you please tell me????

Will a class 10, UHS-1 memory card work using the 4K 30 setting? I only buy the SanDisk brand.
I just checked my HERO4 and found out I do have a 16gb Sandisk MicroSD, Which works perfectly fine with 4k. I've filled up the entire SD with it once, and it was fine. Class 10, too.
Good work!

Outstanding video. Simply outstanding. Thank you. I've subscribed! Ed
I wonder if the Hero 4 Black Edition would be better than my 3 for indoor tennis (not great lights) high speed video analysis.
Hi. first of all I wanted to say thank you for the review !

Is this possible in this cameras ?

I mean if there's something that the camera is able to do but there is no option in software , can the GoPro company release some kind of an update that fixes the problem ?
What's the actual cost for this in the US? Really interested in buying one
Does your Hero 4 Black have the copter sound problem, when you are recording with Wi-Fi on?
Does the Hero 4 Black fit in the waterproof housing with the additional LCD attached?
Thx for sharing!
This one, or the AS100V? What do you think?
No need for an adapter to use external mics. Just buy one for micro-usb connection to fit the side-panel connection port on the camera :-)
Great Video, can you please help me, i can't set my gorpo hero4 black at 30 fps for 4K, what i have to do ?? . thank you
Please do GoPro HERO 4 black vs Sony Action Cam HDR-AS100V
Lol Sony Action cam XD
***** please stfu
what is the camera you are switching back and forth with in the end of the video and what frame rate are you using in both of those instances?
Please do a full review for the Go Pro Hero $130 I beg you
Please compare to the 3+ black!
Is it worth upgrading from a Hero 3 Silver to a Hero 4 Black? Mainly gonna be for motox and scuba videos.
+Johan Syffert not for another $500 unless you are making popular videos for viewers.
+MW Technology What camera did you use to shoot the photos/videos
Er... I searched up online and GoPro said it does 240fps at 720p
+Hackzilla_2 And 4k and 1080p and 1440p

Saad Ghiba I know right, I got lucky, some guy really needed money and I couldn't pass on a deal like that.
Marcus Nameless Is it the Black edition?
Can't tag you Consig1ere but, yes it's a black edition.
what is the camera and lens do you use for your blog ?
sony action cam vs gobro hero4 maybe?
Wtf the gopro image looked better before you turned up the brightness. I like the contrast between the green and the black. Just my opinion.
With the new update we (GoPro) have 240fps Hahaaaaaa awesome people. I say AWESOME!
Only for narrow view.
PeaceForever your right lol. Finally tried it yesterday. But the ability is there although I use wide and super wide 99.9 percent of the time lol
Yeah! Just tried that now and it's awesome. Would have never found out. Thank you.
i need a camera that could shoot good quality during concerts is go pro a good one?
Jocelyne Jimenez yes definatly
It's a fantastic camera. The quality is crystal clear and looks marvellous when I mount it to my RC car. Even at high speeds and high vibration environments, it will prevail to look amazing.

Why does all the footage look as if it was shot in a mist?
MW Technology What camera did you use to record this video?
guys,, can anyone help???? i would like to get the narrow field of view (ideal for diving,, makes objects look closer and more real) and get the maximum quality out of my camera.. with the gopro 4 black..

What did you use to mount it onto your guitar?
Cool
I love it
If possible, i would take the Hero3 Black edition any day. Way cheaper, awesome camera, and super value.
Can the overheating be fixed with a firmware update or is it a hardware issue?

thanks bro
wich cam did you do da front takes??
You has a nice house...where does you live exactly?
you meantion the gopro becomes really hot in 4k . does it have same issues at 2.7k and 1440p . ??
Never tried 2.7k myself, but I know that the camera does not heat up too fast in 1440.
um you can get a raw image from the go pro 4 dude
The battery life sucks indeed but an extra battery sets you back only 20 dollars or euros.
When you know GoPro you do not need a screen.
You can get 240 frames at 720p
Thanks
Good review but shame you didn` show night view video which is superb.
Yararlı sunum için teşekkürler
Does it have autofocus?

CRAZZZYbro Thank god Im not the only one
NO GO Gopro4...battery sucks.
Who doesn't have a smart phone?
4k superview is 3 hours of battery
So you was able to get more than an hr out of the battery. Crap I got this and in scared to open the package.. battery life is a major when your on a bike. Wonder if I can plug in a steady power source and not worry about time limits
Sounds like a good idea but be careful of heating up, get a cooling fan too 😋😋
Well I opened it and im pissed. Less than an hr at 720 and I dont have a 4k tv. Plus a max of 64gb sd mini sux. My phone is 139gb....pffft. im taking it back
Gold Vulcan loool must be the worst feeling
Well I took it back and swapped for the hero 3 plus silver. I think its gonna be good but I dont have a tv thats 1080p. Good thing I have a gaming laptop. I think I like it but the battery life is still sorta crappy. But I saw this awesome giant car battery for it and im gonna grab it. 8m actually playing with it right now and it looks good at night. Srill the true test is on my bike and its colder than ever out here so that may have to wait
doesnt seem like its worth it. way too many cons
4k is laggy
