The app lets you control all settings, switch modes, and power the camera on or off.
GOPRO HERO 4 BLACK APP PORTABLE
You can control both cameras through the GoPro app on your phone, and also download and edit clips directly to your phone or another portable device for instant sharing.
GOPRO HERO 4 BLACK APP MANUAL
The cameras also feature Protune settings for both video and stills, which is like a manual mode for your GoPro, letting you adjust the white balance, colour, ISO range, sharpness and exposure compensation. Photo capabilities are identical for both cameras, with a variable burst mode that can go as high as 30 frames per second, and timelapse intervals of 0.5 to 60 seconds. Both cameras support microSD cards of up to 64GB in capacity. The Silver forgoes some SuperView resolutions above 1080p.
GOPRO HERO 4 BLACK APP 720P
However, the Black packs in a more powerful image processor which is how it's able to handle higher bit-rate video like 4K at 30fps, 4K SuperView (GoPro's version of dynamically stretching a 4:3 aspect video to 16:9 ratio), 1080p at 120fps, and 720p at 240fps. The Hero 4 Silver and Black both sport 12-megapixel sensors with wide-angle lenses. It would have been nice to have had a tripod mount included in the box to get us started. The GoPros cannot be mounted on a tripod or anything for that matter without the housing, which is a bit unfortunate. The Silver also comes with one additional backdoor which lets you use the touchscreen through the housing. In each box, you get the standard waterproof housing, curved and flat adhesive mounts, quick release buckles, 3-way pivot arm, USB cable, and a skeleton backdoor for the housing. The Hero 4 Silver and Black both come in fancy packaging. However, both cameras still have a docking port on the back for attaching GoPro's external Touch BacPac display. You can also use this display to frame shots and do basic video editing on the camera itself. The big physical difference between the Black and the Silver is that the latter has a built-in touch display, which makes navigating menus a lot simpler. The rubber-clad bodies offer good grip too, in case you plan on using either of them without a waterproof housing. The cameras are extremely well built and feel like premium products, which they are. You also get Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth and recording status LEDs just next to the display on the front. There are three LED status lights placed along sides of the camera, so you can tell when it is recording even if the camera is placed at an obscure angle. Both also have removable batteries, which can be accessed from the bottom. The Hero 4 Black is a tad heavier than the Silver but it's a negligible difference when you actually hold them both.īoth models have a few features in common: a front-facing, non-backlit display with by a power/ mode button just below it a shutter button on the top a settings button on the left and a Micro-HDMI port, a Mini-USB port, and a microSD card slot covered by a rubber flap on the right. They have identical dimensions and are each about the size of a matchbox, which makes them relatively inconspicuous. Both cameras are part of the company's flagship tier and differ only slightly in terms of features and pricing.
