Product Information

Protune allows GoPro users the ability to shoot at a higher quality with less compression. You can adjust settings such as color, ISO limit, and white balance. You can choose a flat, neutral profile to make it easier to include the footage in a professional workflow. Exposure value compensation can also be adjusted to adjust brightness. These three new accessories join the many others available for GoPro devices and fit both the new and old versions of the Hero3.

Time Lapse video mode enables you to easily create static, time-lapse sequences. Or, using the updated TimeWarp 2.0 function, you can create moving, handheld sequences ideal for travelling over a distance, or for conveying the passage of time. A nifty new feature enables you to switch between real-time and time-lapse recording with a tap of the touchscreen – a facility that we felt actively encouraged us to get creative and inject more fun into our videos. The Ultra Wide option is approximately 15mm equivalent in 35-mm format, medium is about 22-mm equivalent and narrow is roughly 30-mm equivalent. Sensor Size The headline video improvements are those high frame-rate modes, but there are also some more enhancements. GoPro has been doing some algorithmic tinkering, and its GP2 chip brings local tone-mapping – an HDR processing technique for improving dynamic range – from its photo mode to video as well.The most noticeable difference between the HERO4 Silver and HERO3+ Silver is the one you see as soon as the cameras are turned around. The HERO4 Silver is the first GoPro model to have a touch LCD screen. All of these GoPros use reasonably fast fixed F2.8 aperture ultra-wide-angle lenses. The GoPro HERO4 offers a lens aperture of f/2.8, while the GoPro HERO3+ offers a lens aperture of f/2.8. The GoPro HERO4 is therefore capable of capturing images with greater clarity and detail than the GoPro HERO3+. Field of view (FOV). Despite all the GoPro generations listed above, there isn’t really anything significant that has changed with each iteration over the past five years.

Max– A blend between the Hero and the Fusion. Records in 360-degrees but also can pretend to be a Hero…more or less.If you’re on a budget, buying a second-hand GoPro may be attractive, but we don’t advise it since the GoPro battery life of used models is usually poor. The original casing's larger size and more secure lever design means that GoPro will continue to sell it, but it has been rebranded as the Diver case. As the name suggests, it can be used to a greater depth (maximum 60 metres), compared to the new case's 40 metre limit. An LCD screen drains your battery faster than other screens. If you want to prolong the battery’s life, you should turn off the LCD screen or only use it sparingly. GoPro has always offered a good selection of recording resolutions for video and this Hero3+ edition adds to them with SuperView. This mode captures footage at 1080p, but rather than use a 16:9 aspect ratio, it pushes it to 4:3. It does this by stretching the edges of the footage to 4:3 format, so the center footage retains sharp definition, whilst the edges are usually overlooked due to the wide angled perspective of the lens. However, pay close attention to the GoPro camera comparison, especially if you plan to use yours as your main stills and video camera.

Similarly, in photo mode you have four customisable options to choose from: Photo, LiveBurst, Burst and Night, plus the ability to create and store your own custom settings here. Be aware that enabling features such as Wifi, Bluetooth, and Voice control can noticeably reduce battery life. Repeatably turning a GoPro off and on also drains a lot of power. The menu navigation system remains the same as before, requiring you to use the buttons in combination to swap through the menu items, select and confirm. At first it can be difficult to find the options that you want, but after a short time (and once you find the settings that suit your activity) this stops being an issue. Wireless control Superview, a GoPro video mode that captures a wider angle view and more immersive footage, is clever. The camera shoots at a four to3 aspect ratio and uses the entire height of its sensor. After that, the sides are dynamically stretched to create a widescreen 16-9 aspect ratio. The GoPro HERO4 Silver is an amazing camera that captures beautiful video footage. However, the GoPro HERO3+ is even better because it has a faster frame rate and is more durable. HD recording

Battery Power

In recent years, the size and shape of the GoPro camera have not changed significantly. The nude dimensions of all these action cams (when not in protective housings) are 41 x 59x 21/30mm. The depth measurements will vary depending on whether or not the protruding lenses are taken into consideration. You can also add an LCD touch screen as an option. GoPro LCD Touch BacPac is the best option. It adds an additional cost, and not a small one. The screen attaches to the camera, so it won’t fit into the standard waterproof housing. The built-in screen on the HERO4 Silver will drain the battery faster. As with the previous case there are spaces on the inside of the casing around the camera for moisture patches. These are essential if you plan to take the camera underwater or if you go skiing - they help stop the inner casing from steaming up. GoPro has not yet revealed the size of the sensor in the Hero 3+ Silver. However, we know that the original Hero3 Silver used an even smaller 1/2.7 inch type sensor. 4K Recording
