GoPro Hero4 Reviews

One of the best purchases for the discerning customer, the GoPro Hero4 camera is extensively in demand among tech enthusiasts. We finally managed to unbox the GoPro Hero4 and review it for all our readers. So, what is new about this model? It can surely match up to its predecessors, the Hero4 Black and Hero3+ Black. So, this review will give an idea of what’s in store for you with the stylish GoPro Hero4 action camera.

Key features

This pocket-friendly GoPro Hero4 silver camera is worth every single penny. It records videos at up to 4K resolution at 15 fps, 2.7K at 30 fps, 1080p at 60 fps, and 720p at 120 fps. This is very impressive, because in this category of action cameras, we genuinely found it to be a great steal. It captures every single frame with precise details and balanced color tones under low-light conditions.

Design and style

The stylish GoPro Hero4 camera has a waterproof system that lets it stay safe up to a good 131 feet. The lower bottom of the camera has horizontal and vertical quick-release buckles attached, along with its three-way pivot arm that allows you to house it from above or side. When we tried mounting it, the camera provided smooth functionality without any hassles. The Silver GoPro Hero4 is the first among the brand’s collection of cameras that features a built-in 1.5-inch touchscreen, which is extremely helpful. You do not have to depend on the tiny front screen while viewing captured images, and you can immediately view shots with ease. You can conveniently switch settings and change modes by swiping. This is one feature, which all the users spoke highly about while giving their reviews about the GoPro Hero4 camera.

Strong battery performance

Unlike the earlier versions of the silver GoPro Hero4, this new model’s battery is located at the base. It is no longer accessed at the back of the camera. In our opinion, this change seems like the best decision made by the makers, because it ensures easy removability and charging. The battery type, which was 3.7 V, 1180 mAh earlier, is now 3.8 V, 1160 mAh. This helps maintain an efficient power supply to the camera.

Wi-Fi and USB transfer

The left side of this GoPro camera features a micro HDMI, mini-USB port, and a microSD card slot that supports up to 64 GB. The ports provide multi-functionality, as they allow data transfer from the microSD card. A 3.5 mm stereo mic cable can also be attached whenever you need to use an external mic. Even though the layout continues to remain the same as the earlier GoPro cameras, it is interesting to see how the Wi-Fi button is now a ‘HiLight Tag.’ The gadget tags the recordings so that you can find them quickly while viewing on GoPro’s free smartphone app or studio software for the desktop. This smart feature of the GoPro Hero4 has also scored many brownie points among users and other expert reviews.

Convenient menu settings

GoPro has time and again updated their menu settings. The earlier models were equipped with menus that were complicated to operate. This silver GoPro model has a feather-touch and easy-to-switch menu. Its separate Wi-Fi settings make sure you don’t end up leaving it on accidentally in your bag and draining the battery.

The GoPro Hero4 has got excellent reviews from users. It offers crisp resolution and frame rate options that are excellent for both beginners and experienced users. If you want nothing but the best, then buy this model for recording your favorite moments.
