GoPro HERO4 BLACK takes Emmy® Award-winning GoPro performance to the next level with our best image quality yet, plus a 2x more powerful processor2 that delivers super slow motion at 240 frames per second. It boasts incredible high-resolution 4K30 and 2.7K601 video combines with 1080p120 and 720p240 slow motion to enable stunning, immersive footage of you and your world. Protune™ settings for both photos and video unlock manual control of Color, ISO Limit, Exposure and more. Waterproof to 131’ (40m) with 12MP photos at 30 frames per second and improved audio, HERO4 Black is the ultimate life-capture solution for those who demand the best.
With a 2x more powerful processor, 2x faster video frame rates and even better image quality than its best-selling predecessor, HERO4 Black delivers footage that’s sharper, richer and more detailed. Combined with powerful new features and technologies—and improvements to audio, usability, wireless connectivity and more—HERO4 Black is the most advanced, highest-performing GoPro ever.
Owners of the Hero3/3+ Black will notice some subtle but important changes with the Hero4, the biggest being the new battery compartment design. It no longer slides in the back, but drops into the bottom, which works just fine and makes swapping them out easier.
With 12MP Burst photos at a blistering 30 frames per second, HERO4 Black helps you capture the moments you don’t want to miss. Capture single photos, or choose Time Lapse mode to shoot photos automatically at set time intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds—great for gear-mounted shots when the shutter button is out of reach.
HERO4 Black features SuperView™, a GoPro-exclusive video mode that captures the world’s most immersive wide-angle perspective. It allows you to capture more of yourself and your surroundings in the shot—resulting in captivating, ultra-engaging footage of every adventure.
Love the Time Lapse videos you’ve seen on the GoPro Channel? Now you can easily create one yourself—without spending hours in the editing room. In Time Lapse Video mode, the camera captures a Time Lapse video automatically. It’s a great way to showcase a sunrise, road trip or family gathering as a short, shareable video.
The new GoPro HERO 4 Black is pretty sweet. I love the fact that I can capture my adventures in 4K at 30FPS. I REALLY love the HERO 4 Silvers built-in screen, which would make this camera PERFECT. I am willing to sacrifice the built-in screen for 4K at 30FPS.
See the 4K footage and it should convince anyone that the HERO 3+ Black Edition is the predecessor. The only set back from owning a GoPro camera is that the mounts are pretty expensive. Though the OEM mounts for the GoPro attachment method still has not changed.
The Good
The GoPro Hero4 Black delivers best-in-class video at resolutions up to 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 120fps. Wide assortment of mounting options from GoPro and third-party manufacturers.
The Bad
Battery life can feel painfully short and due to a redesign you can’t use older batteries with the Hero4. No option for in-camera digital image stabilization and it still needs a housing to be waterproof.
The Bottom Line
The GoPro Hero4 Silver is still our top choice for most people, but if you need the best video quality with the most shooting options, the Hero4 Black is it.
