- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2015Style Name: Adventure Edition (English-French Language)Verified PurchaseI am no video expert but this camera is great. It's easy to use and the video quality produced is simply excellent. The integration with PC's, tablets and phones is excellent via well written and useful apps. The shear flexibility of video modes is great giving multiple options for resolution, framerate and FOV as well as clever features to help capture the "right" moments. The wide FOV modes are awesome for filming action - even when moving point the camera in broadly the right direction still gets what you were trying to record - you may not win an Oscar for your cinematography but you won't miss what you were trying to film!
There are loads of accessories available out there for it enabling lot's of creativity in terms of filming.
I was slightly surprised by the battery life, however. It is shorter than I expected and I'd recommend getting a spare battery if you plan to try to capture on than about 20 minutes of footage at any given time.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2016Style Name: Adventure Edition (English-French Language)Verified PurchaseI've had slight love/hate relationship with this GoPro, but it could all be down to being unlucky..
I'm now on my 3rd GoPro Hero4 Black Edition, after returning the previous two due to similar hardware/software issues. They would work great for the first month, but after some simple usage, would not record properly to the SD card (It would record a green, flashing, screen, with distorted audio, and sometimes no audio). I have three, GoPro recommended, SD cards that I tested with the faulty GoPro's to ensure consistency.
You might be wondering why I've given 5 stars after these issues. Well the GoPro customer support is absolutely outstanding. Probably the best I've ever dealt with. They get right to the point, and if your problems are unsolvable, have no qualms about sending you a new device in an expedient fashion.
The GoPro itself is fantastic, and I love recording @ 120fps to get the insanely smooth slow motion effect on the videos once editing. Produces wonderfully crisps quality @ 4k & 1080p. I'd suggest however, that it only be used for activities, sports, and any action-type moments. Trying to use this to capture to beautiful architecture of a city is not the way to go, as the nature of the fish-eye lens makes the buildings seem too far away, even when up close. May seem pretty obvious, but I learnt the hard way after a trip to Rome!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2016Style Name: Adventure Edition (English-French Language)Verified PurchaseHaven't looked back. What an amazing piece of kit. Managed to pick it up on a lightening deal early one morning.
Great wide angle to capture a fantastic range. Yes there is no view finder but you learn to trust the unit, point and click and the huge wide angle captures what you were after and more with ease.
Easy to use. Rugged Managing to survive sea, winds and children. No issues fogging up with ours after a good few months of use mainly in water. I know this can be an issue and little anti fog strips are available.
So many adapters and ways to attach it to so many things. Working our way through many of the options.
I was lucky to get this on a seemingly rare Amazon Lightning deal and was happy to snap up the camara for the deal price. For the amount of use we have got from it and the fantastic images and memories we have captured it has defiantly been worth it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2016Style Name: Moto EditionVerified PurchaseProduct arrives in term and it was as described. I would recommend the product and the seller. Thanks.
About the camera, display way to small. forget about film in low light - terrible results even in a dark day.
Battery life poor if you consider there's no big display or lights. The 4k is just great, the camera is so small and robust. That's all i got to say so far... hope it helps.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2015Style Name: Adventure Edition (English-French Language)Verified PurchaseOverwhelmed with how good this camera is. I purchased this GoPro to record a kickboxing event consisting of 17 bouts over 4 hours. Coupled with a RavPower Xtreme 2300 external battery pack and a SanDisk 64gb micro sd card the job was executed with ease. I recorded at 720p (as I wasn't sure how much i'd be able to fit on the card) and the quality was fantastic and without any issues. The GoPro was mounted up high above the ring on a ringside light stand so I needed to be able to control it from a distance enabling full control of each fight from to start and finish. This was done with the free GoPro app downloaded to my iPhone. This allowed me to view what was being recorded and put marker points at the desired points of recording. I could change the settings remotely which was brilliant.
I've also recently recorded in 4k and i'm blown away by the sharpness, colour range and focusing. Great accessory for anyone interested in normal video recording, time lapse, night time lapse, slow motion etc etc etc.
Great for underwater recording too coupled with a selfie stick for range.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2019Style Name: Adventure Edition (English-French Language)Verified PurchaseI bought this thinking I'd take it backpacking and make awesome videos and take cool pics etc etc. Basically fell for the marketing campaign. Don't get me wrong it's a great piece of kit but unless you know what your doing with it and have all the right accessories for the activities you're doing, it's kinda useless. Pictures are okay but not better than my phone (at the time HTC one m8). Video quality is really good as you would expect but make sure you have the right memory card and plenty of spare batteries. Extracting the pics and vids is a job on its own. I was trying to do everything with my phone as I didn't travel with a laptop and tbh I got fed up after a while and stopped using it. I'm sure with all the right add ons and a decent laptop the whole experience of owning a go pro would be much better. Its just not for me.

ManuelReviewed in Italy on 5 July 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars La mia bambina!
Esteticamente, la Gopro Hero4 Black assomiglia alla Hero3+, con la familiare forma e dimensioni tipiche della GoPro. La custodia impermeabile è circa la stessa, ed è inclusa con la fotocamera al momento dell’acquisto. Ma una volta che si inizia ad usarla vi renderete conto che ci sono stati alcuni cambiamenti significativi al design che fanno una grande differenza.
Alcune modifiche sono minimali – le luci LED che indicano lo stato della telecamera e del Wi-Fi che prima erano sul lato frontale, ora sono due piccole fessure illuminate a sinistra dello schermo a LED.
Sul lato destro del corpo il vecchio pulsante di accesso diretto al Wi-Fi diventa ora il pulsante Impostazioni – ma se si tiene premuto per un paio di secondi consente ancora di attivare o disattivare il Wi-Fi. Questo nuovo pulsante Impostazioni è parte della revisione del sistema di navigazione, ed è un grande miglioramento che rende effettivamente l’utilizzo della macchina fotografica molto più intuitivo rispetto alla versione precedente.
Infine, il vano batteria non è più accessibile dal retro della fotocamera, ma si trova ora nella base inferiore, e il tipo di batteria cambia da 3.7v 1180mAh a 1160mAh 3.8V. E soprattutto, è molto più facile da sostituire rispetto a prima.
Come per i modelli precedenti, è presente sul retro una presa di connessione per uno schermo esterno opzionale. Sul lato, protetti da uno sportellino, ci sono due connettori che consentono il collegamento diretto HDMI e USB oltre a uno slot per schede Micro SD.
La GoPro Hero 4 è una telecamera composta da due parti, la telecamera stessa e un alloggiamento protettivo impermeabile. La custodia può essere facilmente rimossa e sostituita con altri elementi di alloggiamento che offrono diversi livelli di protezione e caratteristiche a seconda dell’attività che si sta svolgendo.La qualità video è naturalmente ciò per cui la GoPro è nota, e per iniziare tutto ciò che dovete fare è attivarla e premere il pulsante di registrazione. Anzi con la nuova funzione Quick Capture premendo un solo tasto, sulla parte superiore, la videocamera si accende rapidamente e inizia automaticamente a registrare. A differenza di molte action cam questa GoPro vi consente una vasta scelta di opzioni sulla qualità dei video e questo è sia un punto di forza che, in alcuni casi di utenti poco esperti, una debolezza.
HERO4_Black_Feature_12_cameracontrol_1Per coloro che sono esperti di video e sanno come i filmati registrati saranno utilizzati e editati, la ricchezza di opzioni di registrazione è un sogno che diventa realtà assoluta, ma per l’utente medio la quantità di opzioni per la risoluzione e il frame rate possono essere un po’ disorientanti.
Per esempio ci sono 12 risoluzioni e una varietà di frame rate tra cui scegliere, che vanno dall’alta risoluzione 4K (3840×2160) a 24, 25 o 30fotogrammi al secondo (fps) alla bassa risoluzione WVGA (848×480) a 240 FPS.
A parte l’ovvia differenza di dimensione delle diverse risoluzioni, la parte che è di maggior interesse per gli appassionati di sport estremi è il frame rate. Il full HD o 1080p è attualmente la scelta più popolare e come tale sarà probabilmente l’opzione più utilizzata per la GoPro, anche perchè il 4k al momento è abbastanza ingestibile sui PC attuali medi. Solitamente i video 1080p ad alta definizione sono limitati a un rispettabile framerate di 29,7 fps, che offre una buona riproduzione fluida. La GoPro Hero4 Black consente la registrazione HD a 120, 90, 60, 50, 48, 30, 25 e 24 fps, ciò significa che con il frame rate più alto disponibile per la registrazione, 120 fps, quando editato e riportato a 29,7 fps, si avrà un rallentamento slow motion 1/4x uniforme e visivamente piacevole, una caratteristica che sta diventando sempre più popolare nel settore dello sport estremo.
Al fine di selezionare la risoluzione 1080p a 120 fps deve essere eseguito un breve “rituale” che prevede la continua pressione del tasto di selezione; prima di tutto si deve selezionare la Modalità video, quindi il pulsante Impostazioni sul lato. Il tasto viene poi utilizzato per trovare l’opzione, in questo caso la risoluzione desiderata che viene poi selezionata con il pulsante in alto. Il pulsante di modalità viene poi utilizzato per scorrere le opzioni di risoluzione e una volta che compare l’opzione 1080p si usa il tasto superiore per selezionarlo. Lo stesso processo viene poi utilizzato per impostare il frame rate o qualsiasi altra opzione che deve essere cambiata. Tutto bene se si sa cosa si sta facendo, altrimenti l’operazione è un po’complessa, ma è comunque molto più facile rispetto al sistema leggermente diverso della Hero3+.
La GoPro registra con un punto di vista di 170°, quindi un grandangolo molto spinto, e con una lente f/2.8 viene catturato quasi tutto ciò che si trova davanti a noi, quindi basta puntare la fotocamera più o meno nella direzione giusta e si può essere abbastanza sicuri che si sta riprendendo ciò che ci interessa.. Ci sono opzioni per cambiare il punto di vista e restringerlo in alcune impostazioni di risoluzione, ma per ottenere la miglior qualità nei filmati, è meglio attenersi alla vista grandangolare standard. Certo la mancanza di uno schermo posteriore integrato si fa sentire, è pur sempre possibile acquistarne uno esterno, ma non è possibile utilizzarlo con la cover standard impermeabile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecta, simple, multiusos
Muy buena camara, sobre todo en los videos, la calidad se nota en cambio de las SJxxxx y xiaomi.
La carcasa la hace que no te de miedo a posibles accidentes ya que se puede llevar con la tapa Skeleton y grabar el sonido perfectamente y no tener miedo a que se raye la lente o la camara en si (quizas la mayor ventaja que gopro hero5 no ofrece)
Los videos estan muy bien con luz natural, a oscuras o con luz artificial (sobre todo calida) cambia un poco y se ve algo mas de ruido.
Las fotos es su punto debil porque para hacerlas tienes que tener la camara en un sitio quieto y quien salga en la foto se quede quieto entre 1-2 segundos.
Tiene la opcion de mantener el obturador X segundos abiertos cosa que si manejais bien puede salir fotos muy chulas a oscuras con puntos leves de luz (tipica foto de la carretera y las luces de los coches flotando en el aire)
Su opcion de ver todo en streaming a traves del movil y la opcion de descargarte directamente al movil, lo hace todo muy facil a la hora de subir fotos a las redes sociales en cosa de segundos, aunque quizas en un futuro se reduzca el tiempo de retardo del streaming en vivo.
Ya veis, una camara multiusos con infinidad de opciones que podeis trastear, tambien se puede hacer lives desde periscope con la gopro conectada al movil.
Si no quereis algo profesional porque simplemente grabais algun video de vez en cuando sin tocar mucho los ajustes, ahorrar algo de dinero y disponer de pantalla, os recomiendo la gopro hero 4 silver (tambien comentan que por su procesador menos potente, se alarga la duracion de la bateria).
