My start with a Gopro camera started with the original over 12 years ago. At that time, the unique features were the small size, ability to mount almost anywhere, and the extreme wide angle. The video quality of that first generation camera was very poor and the super wide angle was the only good thing about it. Of course, Gopro has come a long way since then and they are still on top when it comes to action cameras. The next Gopro I bought was the 2014 Hero basic model. For me, that camera worked great even with the internal battery and the video quality was very good and sharp. I unfortunately got it wet about 3 years ago and couldn't bring it back to life. I bought a few Apeman A80 cameras. They are very dependable for a cheap price, but you will not get a wide angle whatsoever with that camera even with the 170 degree setting. Also the video quality up close is decent but overall is poor compared to a Gopro. So finally my review of the Gopro Hero 4 Silver. It is an amazing little camera with wide sharp video and very good realistic color saturation. Just what I needed and a big upgrade from the Apeman. The LCD screen on the back works flawlessly and the quick capture function means I can just tap one button to record and and then tap off again, perfect while making my fishing videos. Since the camera is on a stable mount I don't have to worry about stabilization which this camera doesn't have, the video is smooth without any shakiness. Finally if I were selfish and was planning on buying another Gopro Hero 4 Silver, I might not mention Southtown Camera, who sent me a camera in great shape that I have confidence in. Thanks to them. You will not be sorry in 2020 if you buy this camera over all the Apemans and Akasos with limited field of view and inferior video quality. Great little camera.

購入してから二度旅行に持っていきました。コンパクトなのでバッグに入れることもできるし持っていても軽いのでストレスを感じません。小さいのに音声もちゃんと拾って、夜間撮影も問題なくこなしてくれました。

Came within a day after ordering even though shipping says 5 days. Was very pleased with it. Works amazing and is an awesome camera. Have experimented with it under water and so far the pics are super clear. The only thing that bothers me is it doesn't have zoom but it's great for landscapes and underwater shots.

This GoPro is expensive and worth every penny. I bought this camera to use as a dash cam and I'm blown away by its capabilities. The GoPro can be used for any purpose one can imagine and there are mounts for every purpose as well. Many of the excellent YouTube videos are produced by a GoPro. The mechanical engineering of this piece is exceptional and extends to the mounts included with the original purchase. There are more settings at this time than I can remember but the simple basic settings and the defaults produce excellent, sharp, clear and colorful videos of whatever the camera is aimed at. Night photos are also excellent.I purchased the GoPro 4 Silver because it has the viewing screen at the back which makes it simple to aim the camera perfectly to get the best views of the road traveled. This rear screen is especially nice when initially setting up the camera on a permanent adhesive mount most often stuck to the front window in the center to one side of the rear view mirror. The rear screen makes it easy to mount the adhesive in the perfect position on the first try. I spent a few days getting up the courage to finally mount the GoPro PERMANENTLY ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD using the very permanent 3M mount (supposedly easily removed by heating it up first). I've never mounted anything permanently to my front windshield and even had a hard time adding cup holders to a car that didn't come with them. My fear was unfounded because the rear screen made it easy as pie to position and aim the camera and mark the exact spot that gave me the best view of the road in front, keeping in mind I'd have to remove the camera whenever I left the car. No problem here.The GoPro 4 Black is an extra $100 for a few more setting details but then you have to buy a separate rear LCD screen for another $100 or so if you want the same capability for ease of installation if you want to use your GoPro as a Dash Cam. I picked the GoPro Silver from the beginning because I called the company and asked them which camera they recommended for use as a Dash Cam. When I called I knew NOTHING about dash cams or about GoPros.When the GoPro arrived I was unable to "unbox" the camera until I read the instructions and watched an instructional video on YouTube, titled "unboxing your new GoPro - for beginners". I say this to emphasize that this was my first experience with a Dash Cam. I never saw a GoPro up close until mine arrived. Without instructions I'd still have the GoPro boxed up. The attachments and means of attaching the GoPro were different from anything I was familiar with but it all makes perfect sense and ends up easier than most familiar attachments once you see it for the first time.I decided to go with this most expensive Dash Cam (except for the GoPro Hero 4 Black) because I never saw a bad video taken with a GoPro. I'm thrilled I made this decision because everything about the GoPro is exceptional. The GoPro Hero 4 Silver camera has some of the best engineering I've seen on any electronics product I've purchased over many years, including digital cameras and computers. The quality of materials is also superior. With all the exceptional features and capabilities, this camera is easy to set up and use. It is a simple camera and it does what it claims to do and does it exceptionally well.Once I got myself to take the step of a permanent front windshield mounting, I was set up and ready to go. All I need to do is press the button to start the video and remember to remove the camera once I've arrived at my destination. The quick mounts and disconnects make this simple.The GoPro is suggested as a Dash Cam only for users who already own one because there are Dash Cams selling for $29.95, making the GoPro 10x as expensive. This is bad advice! Once a person buys a GoPro it's only a matter of time before other uses for this camera show up. The GoPro is so exceptional it can be easily used to memorialize any activity one is accustomed to performing.The GoPro photos and videos are so excellent a person is encouraged to find new uses for the GoPro all the time. All that's necessary is the purchase of a specialized mount. Many mounts can be used for multiple purposes. For instance, I may want to mount my GoPro on a headrest. I found the mount used to attach a GoPro to one's head, hat or helmet is perfect for attaching to my headrest. This is a great place to mount a camera to watch out the rear window if one wants full coverage. I'm thinking of buying a second GoPro for this, but first I have to save up many pennies. This is what happens when one has the capability to take excellent quality videos and photos with little effort.If you are thinking of buying your first Dash Cam, I suggest going with the best. Spend the money and buy a GoPro. You will be inspired to find many other uses for this marvelous little camera once you see how easy it is to use to take perfect photos and videos.

Excelente compra. Fue atento amable y la cámara gopro llego en perfecto estado y antes de tiempo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Great first Gopro, does everything I ever expected a Gopro to do and then some. the free software works great and easy for doing most edits. Battery life gets a little more than two hours under the right conditions/settings. Back screen makes it very easy to change settings and adjust the angle to get everything you want in view. heat up the sticky pads with a lighter before applying to get maximum adhesiveness.

EL EQUIPO ES ORIGINAL EL EMPAQUE INTACTO, ENVIO MUY EFICIENTE. RESOLVIERON LAS DUDAS DE COMPRA DE MANERA INMEDITA. VENDEDOR MUY RECOMENDABLE

While I've always wanted a GoPro, I've never used one or even played around with one until purchasing (justifying the purchase)this GoPro HERO4 Silver. I am a casual user. I cannot talk/compare in 4k or that kind of description/comparison. My review is intended for the casual user who wants a waterproof action camera that is easy to use without having to read a thick instruction manual.I chose the Silver 4 because of the 12mp still images, the video quality & the Touchscreen LCD back. I like the LCD back because that is what I'm familiar with using my digital camera. The touchscreen back is not super sensitive & I have to press hard (through the case) for the screen to respond. Just remember that the display will lock if left untouched, so you will have to go through the unlock procedure again if you want to change from camera to video or access the screen options (touch top middle of screen & slide finger down - that will get you to the unlock feature, which is a slide down & hold feature).Unfortunately, my digital camera is not waterproof, so I decided that a small, waterproof/water resistant camera should be added to my collection. Since I was about to embark on a trip that involved ziplining, rafting, parasailing & a rainforest, I decided that a GoPro would be an ideal camera.The HERO4 Silver is a great little camera. I am still not completely using all of its features - the remote being the next item on my "to-learn" list - but the features I used - camera & video - produced beautiful, clear pictures & video. I used the clip to place the GoPro on both my zipline helmets & rafting helmet, and I used a homemade modified strap to wrap around my hand while parasailing. On all, since I wasn't submerging in water below 10', I used the camera housing that allowed for Touchscreen use.Camera battery lasted about 1-1/2 hours because of using the LCD screen off and on. As stated earlier, I still have to get use to using the remote app. I chose not to with my last adventure because I didn't want to carry my phone on a zip line, a white water raft or while parasailing.I will update this review as I go, but I'm very happy with the camera & video quality of the HERO4 Silver. Downloads to my tablet & computer were simple and no special software is required to view since the files are mp4.Overall, the HERO4 Silver is pretty easy to understand & use - even for those who are not photography experts.
