As a preface: I was searching an action cam, on which I can rely on in all situations.
Of course, a GoPro comes as directly in the head. So far I have heard only good things about these cameras, so I'm obviously range addressed with very high expectations of the whole thing. And this much I can now say this cam has exceeded my expectations very high ...!
For Packaging:
The GoPro is very well packaged. Nothing is loose, everything presents super. I like and directs already in the store to look directly at the Cam. After the camera was finally unpacked (it took a little) came tons of accessories to days!
The accessories:
Super. More can not be said! In the Adventure version the following things are: The GoPro housing (waterproof up to 40m), a short and a long quick release buckle (for mounting the chassis), a straight and a curved adhesive mount (for mounting on helmets, etc), a three -way swivel arm, a replacement door for the housing, a small fuse rubber and a USB charging cable (unfortunately without socket adapter)
Everything testifies to a great quality. Especially the pads have impressed me. These come with a 3M VHB Tape, which adheres firmly to bomb all possible documents. Even skydiving on the helmet!
This is by the way also used for the assembly of disks on skyscrapers!
The Camera:
Small and compact. So should be like a Actioncam! The operation is very simple and by the built-front display all settings capture super. The camera has not a built-in display at the back (such as the 4 Silver, but sold separately), but you shine with your inner life.
Full HD at 120 FPS and 4K footage in 30 fps. Even photos with 12 MP are not a problem. A mode for night and low during the GoPro 4 also new and an absolute high-light.
I use this cam skydiving and am just thrilled! The quality of photos and videos is just absolutely awesome. I particularly like the Timelapse function. So you can very quickly create time-lapse!
All in all a Super Action cam!
The battery:
Unfortunately, the usual problem, as it is known also from any mobile phone. He is just too weak!
After 1.5 hours of full-HD recording, unfortunately, it was over ... There remains only the handle to spare batteries.
Charging using the supplied USB charging cable took about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately still missing a socket adapter, so you have to charge the battery in the camera to your PC if you look At length no such adapter.
The Software: GoPro Studio
This program is available free of charge on the GoPro website and is open to all amateur filmmakers and newcomers that !!! no experience with all the professional and expensive Have Videobearbeitungsprogrammmen.
Imported your clips, it cuts, backed them with music, and adjusts the colors. Finished!
Can be so simple video editing!
Conclusion:
The GoPro is simply no alternative. Class processing (both Cam and accessories), super lots of accessories (sold separately most) and a quality that has just hit me off my chair.
Unfortunately, the price of 479.00 is a bit much. In addition, indeed, one also needs a suitable SD card (Class10, U3). This suggests to book with up to 60 yes to size.
Nevertheless: I would buy this cam again? Yes! Would I recommend this Cam? YES!
