Cameras Gadgets By Nick / 16th October 2014 Share Tweet Share Go Pro HD Hero 4 OrderedWas this the only one left in the south of England?This was always going to be a popular camera but not this popular. I thought I would "let the dust settle" after its release and then buy one for an upcoming trip I am going on to review it properly.I rang Go Pro Europe and asked about availability and shipping times and they couldn't guarantee a date. However, they did give me a list of all suppliers in the UK.Well, I called 10 of them and no-one had any in stock until the end of October!The last company I called was a cool little diving shop in Exeter. Lo and behold they had one Black Edition left so I nabbed it and just received this message:Hi Nick Stubbs, We have just sent you: GoPro HERO4 Black x 1"Cool.Review of Go Pro HD Hero 4 Black EditionI am going to give this a full workout and test it for the new good stuff I have read about:check 4K video at 30fpscheck 1080p at 120fpscheck Bluetooth connectivitycheck 12mp stills at 30fpscheck Image and sound qualitycheck Night Photo + Night Lapsecheck Auto Low LightI will soon see if the bad is as they say it is on forums etc: Poor battery life (at high frame rates and 4K) Artifact issues at 4K Overheating issues with extended run timesOverall, the feature upgrades are more than enough for me to upgrade from the HD Hero 3 which the 3+ was lacking in my opinion.I will also test it with some of my accessories to see how that goes as well as using it on a car, my motorbike, body and so on.I am also going to do a funky comparison with the Go Pro 1, 2 and 3 by lining them all up with the Go Pro HD Hero 4. I'll then see how this little marvel has progressed and improved over the years. Edit 17.10.14 – Go Pro 4 Has arrivedThis is a cool book on mastering any Go Pro camera:
