After several gagillion leaks over the endure few days, they're assuredly here: GoPro's 2014 band of activity cameras. As rumored, there are in actuality three models. There's the Hero, GoPro's new entry-level camera that comes in air-conditioned cheap; the Hero4 Silver, which is basically endure year's best activity camera additional an LCD touchscreen; and endure but in fact not least, there's the Hero4 Black, which seems to annihilate every added activity camera out there.
We've been spending some time with the Black and the Silver editions this accomplished weekend. Actuality are all the abstracts you allegation to know, forth with our antecedent impressions.
Let's alpha with the flagship. For starters, the Hero4 Black looks about identical to the Hero 3+ Black from endure year. The recording indictor buttons are in a hardly altered place, the button on the ancillary is hardly larger, and the array aperture is now on the basal instead of on the back. Added than that, alone tiny artful abstracts abstracted them. But, as they say, it's what's central that counts.
Frame Amount Heaven
GoPro's 2014 flagship camera assuredly brings a lot of the appearance professionals accept been allurement for, a lot of significantly: 4K video at 30 frames per second, and 1080p video at a adorable 120 frames per second. The GoPro Hero 3 Black could administer 4K at 15fps, but that wasn't advantageous for, well, abundant of annihilation really. 30fps is the industry standard, and as such, your activity cam can now shoot footage that will attending alarming should you appear to own a 4K TV or monitor, and future-proofs you for if you do. GoPro's new promo video was attempt in 4K, and I got to see it on a ample UHD TV. Indeed it is impressive. You can see my decidedly beneath absorbing 4K test-footage here:
4K will become added important, but until added humans accept sets that abutment it, the best new affection on the Black Copy is 1080p at 120fps. This allows you to shoot in abounding HD and again apathetic it way the hell down and accept the footage still attending buttery smooth. If your final consign is traveling to be a accepted 30fps, that agency you can apathetic your video down to 1/4 speed. Personally, I like the added accurate attending of 24fps, which agency I can apathetic that 120fps video all the way down to 1/5 speed. For activity shots, this is in fact killer. You can see my 120fps analysis footage here:
You'll apprehension that some of the calm and/or low-light shots don't play aback as smoothly. That's because I accidentally had the Lowlight advantage enabled which automatically slows your frame-rate down to let added ablaze in. I'll accomplish abiding that's disabled if we do our abounding review.
