SAN MATEO, CA – GoPro has unveiled its new Hero4 line of capture devices. The line-up will be available in two editions when it ships on October 5th: Hero4 Black ($499) and Hero4 Silver ($399). The Black unit offers a 2x performance increase over its predecessor with cinema-quality 4K video at 30 frames per second, 2.7K video at 50fps, and 1080p video at 120fps, allowing for slow motion effects. Hero4 Black also features an entirely-redesigned audio system that captures high-fidelity sound with 2x the dynamic range of previous models.
Additional enhancements include improved image quality and low light performance, highlight moment tagging, and an improved user interface that allows for easier access to key features and controls.
Hero4 Silver offers video capture at 2.7K30, 1080p60 and 720p120, as well as 12MP photography capability. The unit includes a built-in touch display for those who value convenience and ease-of-use over the no-holds-barred performance of the HERO4 Black.
