GoPro Hero 4 Silver Edition Reviews and Updates: Hero 4 Silver Aces Video Stabilization but is Quite Pricy for an Action Sports Camera

The GoPro Hero 4 Silver Edition is a new middle of the range camera from the action sports camera company of record. It keeps the same form factor as the older GoPro Hero cameras however but shots tiny new modes, resolutions and really high frame rates. It will shoot 2.7k at 30fps, 1080p @ 60, and 720p at 120. You are really missing from the Hero 4 Black which is 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 120fps. There are also some higher resolution and frame rate combinations. It also has a nice built in touch screen. The best way to categorize the new GoPro models is to imagine them on a sliding scale of experience or rather difficulty like a video game.

One noticeable thing about the Hero 4 Silver is the video stabilization has had a bit of work meaning you can go hand held like we did in a few of those videos and still not get a shaky unusable video. The GoPro's app has also had a bit of work since the release, meaning it is now a great way to not only view your photos remotely, but it is also a great smart remote where you can change every setting that you ever dreamt of controlling.

Unfortunately the Hero 4 Silver has not been in the office for long enough to test out all of the features and so it is not possible to tell you what the Night Photo and Night Lapse features are actually like. Based on the control system, however, we can only assume it's a pain to set up but a great feature if you pull it off. The only bad thing that we have found about the GoPro Hero 4 Silver is it is pricy. The Hero 4 Silver is $498 from Australia's GoPro Distributor. You still get amazing quality for the price you pay but for one who has never invested in an action camera; it would still be a big ask.
