GoPro HERO4 – First Look

Delivering 4K video at 30 frames per second and 2.7K video at 50fps and 1080p video at a blistering 120fps, the GoPro HERO4 is making it easier than ever for adrenaline junkies to self capture and share eye-popping, professional quality content of their favorite adventures. The newly launched GoPro Silver and Black ($399 / $499 respectively) look much the same as their predecessors, but pack some major changes that make them the hottest new device on the market for camera-toting action fanatics.

“For the past twelve years, our passion has been to make it easy for people to self-capture jaw dropping, professional quality footage of themselves engaged in their favorite activities, that passion led us to embark on our most ambitious design and engineering effort ever, and the result is nothing short of the ultimate GoPro—the HERO4 Black. We can’t wait to see what the world captures with it.” -Nicholas Woodman, GoPro Founder and CEO
