GoPro HERO4 Silver Edition Action Camcorder

I've been using video products all of my life, but never used an action cam like this. I was shocked by what a punch it packed for such a small camera. For non camera-knowledgable folks: choose a mode, press record. You'll be totally pleased with how easy this camera is, and how great the quality is. For camera people: I was a little worried about the color, and I leaned that shooting with a GoPro demands correction for a professional look. I use FCP-X, and like a GoPro LUT that cost $30 online. I shoot ProTune, medium sharpness, flat white balance. Then I bring out the colors in post. Overall thoughts: -I LOVE the Silver, because I love the screen. Being a video guy, I'm used to checking my exposure, frame the shot, etc. This screen helps so much. -It would be nice to shoot 4K at 30fps (because who shoots 15fps?), but it's really not a huge dealbreaker. -I bought bundle packs of mounts and accessories for cheap on Amazon. Don't buy the GoPro official ones unless you must for some reason. Enjoy your new GoPro!

We purchased a cheaper knock-off brand last year and were very disappointed. We decided to try the Hero 4 Silver and have been pleasantly surprised. The Silver has playback viewing on the screen and great video capabilities. Note, it does not come with an HDMI cable.
