Under the plug, you will find a microSD memory card and a miniUSB connector (for some reason, GoPro utilizes this format instead of the more advanced and popular microUSB). There is no attachment to hold the cap in place, so it’s very easy to lose. This plug is perhaps one of the few design flaws of the camera. The rest of the ports and slots are placed on the left side and hidden under a plastic plug. Unlike its accessories, the battery is not compatible with devices of previous generations. The underside of the device has a lid to access the battery. The upper side of GoPro HERO4 houses a record button, a LED indicator, and a microphone.
In addition to the battery, the rear panel accommodates the proprietary connector for accessories “HERO port” and one more indicator. However, there is simply no room to place it on the back or on the side – the camera’s housing is pretty narrow and the battery compartment is situated behind. Location of the display on the front panel is not very convenient. Therefore, it does not have or need a touchscreen display. During use, the camera will be mainly sealed in a special plastic protective case. GoPro HERO4 Black is designed to withstand outdoor rigors and is waterproof up to 130 feet. The front panel hosts a prominent front lens, a monochrome LCD display with no backlight, two LED indicators, and a power button. On the outside, the camera does not differ from the HERO3 models, apparently, to preserve the compatibility with accessories. As of 2019, GoPro HERO4 Black can be purchased for $374 (check out our Best Price Deals section). The Silver version cost $100 less than the Black Edition. The original price reached a whopping $499 (for comparison, four years later its successor HERO7 Black hit the market with a price tag of $399). Let’s see why.īoth HERO4 Black and Silver were introduced at the end of September 2014.

Although it was released 4 years ago, the GoPro HERO4 series is still relevant today.
Nevertheless, the Black version is the flagship model of the GoPro HERO4 line. But, it can boast a touchscreen display and a more affordable price than the Black. The Silver Edition produces video with the same resolution but with two-times lower frequency. The GoPro HERO4 Black can record video in 4K resolution at a frame rate of 30 fps. These cameras are the same color, the only difference is in their specs. There are two popular versions of GoPro HERO4 – Black and Silver (a budget-friendly HERO Session turned out to be less successful). With the release of their HERO4 series, the brand started a new era of Ultra HD videos with impressive frame rates. GoPro has become a household name for action cameras.
