GoPro Hero4 BLACK for the Professional Videographer
The new GoPro action camera, released in October 2014, comes in three models.
The trio are the GoPro Hero4 Black, the GoPro Hero4 Silver and the GoPro Hero.
Top of the range, is the GoPro Hero4 Black, which is the focus of this post.
What are the selling features that attracted me?
At S$700 (US$500) for a small and light camera, I will go for it. I intend to travel with it shooting time lapse day and night stock footage in 4K 30fps. I may also use it as a b-roll cam for seminar shoots.

PS: Please note this is not a regular camera which you can zoom in and out. The lens is always wide… very wide at 170 degrees.
