The camera has a lot of options available as far as video formats go, and you can also go beyond purely automatic operation when shooting in ProTune mode. It's a little clunky to use, since the camera has only three buttons I found myself mixing up which button advanced through settings and which changed them, and the LCD isn't backlit, making it almost impossible to read when not under direct light.īut you can also adjust every camera setting via the Wi-Fi app. The small monochrome LCD on the front shows the various menus. You can even turn the camera on using the app (as long as it's in standby mode with Wi-Fi enabled), a plus for remote control operation. You just need to enter a short six-digit number to pair, and Bluetooth remains on even when the camera is off, so your phone won't lose sight of it. Pairing with your phone is also pretty easy. It's not waterproof on its own, but when paired with the case and the solid rear door it can go as deep as 131 feet. When removed from its case it's a tiny rectangle (1.6 by 2.3 by 1.2 inches, HWD) that weighs just 3.1 ounces, and 5.4 ounces when nestled inside the case (which increases the size to 2.6 by 2.6 by 1.4 inches). GoPro didn't change anything, design-wise, with the Hero4 Black ($400.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) -it's physically identical to the Hero3+ ($109.00 at Adorama) (Opens in a new window) and similar cameras. It's expensive, but it's our Editors' Choice pick for action cams, ousting the lesser-priced Hero4 Silver ($279.88 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) from its perch. The go-anywhere device (a waterproof case is included) can roll 4K footage at a smooth 30fps capture rate, and supports HD footage at higher rates-perfect for slow-motion fans. Its top-end model, the Hero4 Black ($499.99), is priced at a premium, but it's also the most capable camera the company makes. It goes to show you just how much success the the company has had in the point-of-view camera market. ![]()
