GoPro Hero 4 Official Specs And Video

It’s here! The Hero 4 is finally announced and we have some real video footage to watch!

It’s been a few days since the original rumor about the Hero 4 came out. Since then, GoPro officially announced the GoPro Hero 4 Black, Silver and a new camera called the GoPro Hero.

Almost all of the rumors were spot on. The hero 4 Black will do 4K video at 30FPS, 2.7K at 50FPS and 1080p at 120FPS.

New Features

Here’s the full list of features for the Hero 4 Black Edition.

Doubled frame rate in almost every resolution (other than 720p)
Better audio with Two times the dynamic range of the old camera
Audio preamp for better external mic support
Auto low light mode (changes frame rates based on lighting conditions)
Night Lapse (long exposure time lapses)
Protune in videos and Photos
Built in Bluetooth on top of WiFi
Dedicated tagging button

The Hero 4 Silver Edition is missing basically two main features from what I can see. It can’t record at the higher frame rates like 4K at 30FPS and it’s missing the built in audio preamp. But with the Hero 4 Silver Edition you get an LCD touch screen.

Pricing

Honestly, I was expecting the GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition to be the same price as the Hero 3 when it came out 2 years ago, but apparently that’s not the case.

The Hero 4 Black Edition will be $499 and the Hero 4 Silver Edition will be $399.

Video

Here’s the Hero 4 video that GoPro just released! Over all, this video has some amazing shots. I even saw a few aerial videos (most likely taken with a DJI Phantom 2). There was a little bit of compression artifacts when I was watching the video, but I think it was just youtube acting up.

I believe drone enthusiasts around the world are going to love the new GoPro Hero 4.
