A new GoPro camera has been revealed: the HERO4. This is said to be the most powerful GoPro cam to date as it boasts of 4K recording capabilities at 30 fps. That’s a big improvement from the 1080p resolution of its predecessor.
GoPro promised faster processing with this one. It can capture twice the high fidelity sound and its low light capabilities have been improved with the nightlapse setting. The $499.99 HERO4 may be known for its 4K capability but GoPro will also release a 1080p version which is also a bit cheaper at $399.99.
Two variants will be available: the HERO4 Black and the HERO4 Silver. The HERO4 Black features 2.7K50 and Ultra High Speed 1080p120 fps video capture. Meanwhile, the HERO4 Silver comes with a touch display for easier self capture and sharing. Other features include better image quality, highlight moment tagging, and a redesigned user interface. Both HERO4 Black models will be available this coming October 5, Sunday, at select retailers and on GoPro.com.
The HERO4 will also work with the GoPro app for Android. The app allows easier controlling of the camera remotely with any Android device. You can take a photo, start or stop recording, and adjust settings on your phone or tablet. You can easily play back videos and view photos before sharing with family and friends via email, SMS, or on your favorite social sites like Instagram and Facebook. Another nice feature is access to the GoPro channel so you can watch other GoPro videos from all over the world.
