GoPro Hero4 Black Edition review

The GoPro Hero4 Black is as much a professional filmmaking tool as something you can just strap to your helmet to capture some action. A comprehensive array of new manual settings, plus dazzlingly detailed 4K at 30fps and silky slo-mo 1080p at 120fps make it a truly professional tool. It’s brilliant, but for most the Hero4 Silver will do everything they want - and it comes with an LCD touchscreen - for around £70 less.

GoPro Hero4 Black review

The Hero4 Black is a fantastic action camera that shoots great quality footage. It's expensive, but you get a lot for your money. Other 4K cameras are available, but none are as small, rugged or cheap as the GoPro. This makes it ideal for capturing extreme sports, using attached to a drone such as the DJI Phantom, or strapping to your roll bar (as we did) and recording a spirited drive down the back lanes.
