🏙️ Gopro Hero 2014 Vs Hero 3

Back when GoPro announced the new GoPro Hero 3+ model many were left wondering if the upgrades made to the camera were really worth upgrading from a Hero 3. The new Hero 3+ Black Edition boasted a smaller size, better Wifi, Better Battery Life, a New Lens, and several other features – but nothing that really jumped out at you as *THE* feature that makes it worth a $70 upgrade. The guys over at Rhino Camera Gear just released a new comparison video on YouTube where they took both cameras out side by side to really test them and see if the improvements made in the 3+ are really all that noticeable. Check it out below: So, what did you think? Personally I thought the footage from the GoPro Hero 3+ Black looked better, had better sharpness and was overall much more pleasing to my eyes. That is not to say the original GoPro Hero 3 Black looked bad, but in comparison I think it is safe to say that the Hero 3+ Black Edition is definitely an improvement. The Wifi performance on the new Hero 3+, while not quite as good as GoPro claimed, was still much much better than the old Hero 3 wifi. So if that is a feature that is important to you then the new GoPro Hero 3+ would definitely make a good purchase in my mind. Now is it worth an upgrade if you already have the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition? That is up for you to decide, personally I don’t think its worth running out to upgrade unless one of the improvements is something that you feel like you absolutely must have. Is the new GoPro Hero 3+ better? Yes, clearly. Is it so much better than the Hero 3 that the Hero 3 is no longer worth using? No, not in my opinion. What are your thoughts? Did you find the footage from the GoPro Hero 3+ better like I did? What are your thoughts on it being worth an upgrade? Let us know in a comment below. [via DIY Photography]

Technology ciupa / Pixabay GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO)’s latest action camera Hero4 is a sweet treat for adventure junkies. The company said at its third-quarter earnings call that initial sales of Hero4 Black as well as Silver Edition have been very strong. The new actioncams have many new features such as an improved 4K video recording. Let’s compare the high-end Hero4 Black Edition with the the company’s previous flagship Hero3+ Black Edition. 1- Dimensions & weight GoPro hasn’t changed the shape and size of its cameras in the past few years. Both Hero4 and Hero3+ come with 41x59x30 mm dimensions. They both are compatible with the same cases. GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition, which has a touchscreen display, comes with the touchscreen-friendly Touch Backdoor. The Hero4 is slightly bulkier at 88g compared to 74g for the Hero3+. With housing, the weight goes up to 152g (Hero4) and 136 (Hero3+). However, the excess weight might not make much West Outperforms, Buys Undervalued Lockheed MartinOld West Investment Management's All Cap investment portfolio slumped for the year to the end of June, outperforming the S&P 500's loss of 21% and the Nasdaq's decline of 30% over the same period. Writing in the firm's first-half investor update, Joseph Boskovich, Sr. Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Old West, notes that Read More 2- Lens aperture & sensor size All the GoPro action cameras sport the aperture ultra-wide angle lenses. Both Hero4 and Hero3+ Black use the same 1/ inch sensors with 4000 x 3000 pixels. 3- 4K video recording & HD recording Both cameras have 4K video recording capabilities. But the Hero4 stands out by shooting at double the frame rate (30 fps compared to 15 fps for Hero3+) than its predecessor. It also shoots better footage, thanks to its 50 fps frame rate. In terms of HD recording, Hero4 stands out once again. It can record at frame rates of up to 120 fps at 1080p, compared to just 60 fps for Hero3+. 4- High bitrate A higher bitrate means better video quality. Hero4 has a high bitrate ( of 60mb/s, better than 45mb/s for the Hero3+. 5- Protune Protune allows users to record higher quality videos with less compression. With Hero4, protune can be used for videos as well as photos. But you can use it to shoot only videos on Hero3+. 6- Wireless connectivity The latest Hero4 cameras offer Bluetooth as well as built-in WiFi connectivity. But its predecessor has only WiFi connectivity. Anyway, both cameras are compatible with GoPro App and Smart Remote. 7- storage All GoPro cameras use microSD cards with storage capacity of up to 64GB. They require a UHS-1 or Class 10 rating. 8- Battery Battery is one very important thing for action camera fans. In terms of battery, the Hero3+ seems to have an edge. It comes with 1180mAh battery compared to 1160mAh for Hero4. Though the difference in battery capacity appears to be small, power-hungry Hero4 saps battery much faster. 9- Hero4 vs Hero3+: price GoPro has priced its Hero4 Black Edition at $ much higher than $ for Hero3+.

With the arrival of the entry-level ‘Hero’ camera, there are now four options when it comes to choosing a GoPro camera. If price is your primary concern, you’ll certainly be looking at the Hero ($199). However, the next model up in the range, the Hero5 Black($299), provides many significant extra features which make it worth saving up the extra cash. Let’s take a look at the differences between the GoPro Hero and the GoPro Hero5 Black. RELATED ARTICLES GoPro Hero Vs Hero6 Black: What's The Difference? GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Session: What’s the Difference? GoPro Hero6 Black Vs Fusion: What's The Difference? GoPro Hero5 Black Vs Hero5 Session: What's The Difference? GoPro Hero6 Black Vs Hero5 Black: What's The Difference? GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Introducing the GoPro Hero Currently the newest model in the range, the Hero is aimed at those wanting to dip their toes into the world of GoPro with the minimum financial outlay. With looks virtually identical to its more expensive stablemates, it’s also the least expensive way to buy a real GoPro as a gift without it looking like an obviously cheaper model. It’s not for everyone, however, as there are many important features missing which set it apart from all of the other GoPros in the current range including its closest relative, the Hero5 Black. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Overview GoPro Hero advantages: Reduced complexity, Price! GoPro Hero5 Black advantages: 4K video, higher resolution sensor, high frame rates, Protune, Night Photo, Looping Video, Night Lapse Photo, GPS, HDR Photo Capture, external mic input, Karma drone compatible, raw photo capture, raw audio capture. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Price The Hero is available direct from GoPro at a price of $199, replacing the smaller GoPro Hero5 Session which used to sit at this price point (see here for the differences). The Hero5 Black costs an extra $100 at $299, placing it midway between the Hero and the flagship Hero6 Black in price but much closer to the latter in performance and features. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Design & Dimensions Externally, there’s little to differentiate the two cameras, save for labelling and minor cosmetic differences. They also both weigh the same. GoPro Hero and GoPro Hero5 Black x x 33mm ( x x in) , 117g GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Battery Both camera models include the same removable 1220mAh lithium-ion battery, which could come in handy if you want to share batteries between GoPros of different types. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Key Functional Differences The GoPro Hero is fitted with a 10-megapixel image sensor where the Hero5 Black comes with a higher-resolution 12-megapixel version. This means the Hero5 Black is capable of taking higher-resolution still images than the Hero. Likewise, the Hero has a severely limited video resolution (see below). Additionally, the Hero5 Black includes a GPS function, lacking on the Hero, which enables location tagging of recorded media. It’s also vastly more configurable than the Hero in both photo and video modes, which enables higher-quality image capture and delivers output more suitable for professional editing software. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Video Specifications Perhaps the most obvious limitation of the Hero is that it’s restricted to 1440p resolution when shooting video. The Hero5 Black, and all other GoPro models in the range can shoot in resolutions all the way up to and including 4K, or beyond in the case of the GoPro Fusion. The Hero is capable of smooth 60fps capture at 1080p, which also allows for half-speed slow motion when played back at 30fps. The Hero5 Black, however, doubles this performance with capture speeds up to 120fps at 1080p. It also offers a large selection of alternative frame rates, including the ‘cinematic’ 24fps mode and several others in-between. The Hero lets you choose only 60fps or 30fps. At 1080p, the Hero enables ‘Wide’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Narrow’ shooting modes, whereas the Hero5 Black also provides ‘SuperView’ and ‘Linear’ modes for greater flexibility. SuperView enables the Hero5 Black to capture more of what’s going on around it while producing a slight ‘fisheye’ effect. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Audio Both cameras come with a trio of microphones and capture stereo audio, but the Hero5 Black is capable of capturing higher-quality, uncompressed audio in the .WAV format and can accept external microphones via a adapter. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Photo Specifications As mentioned earlier, the Hero comes with a lower-resolution image sensor than the Hero5 Black, so still images are less detailed. The Hero5 Black is also capable of capturing at various speeds up to 30 shots per second in burst mode, whereas the Hero is limited to exactly ten. It’s a similar situation when it comes to capturing time lapses: The Hero5 Black can snap at configurable intervals between seconds and 60 seconds, whereas the Hero is fixed at seconds. Plus, the Hero5 has dedicated ‘Night Photo’ and ‘Night Lapse Photo’ modes, not present on the Hero. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Protune When compared to every other current GoPro camera, the Hero is by far the most simplified and, as such, omits the majority of detailed configuration options found in other models. Most significant is the lack of ‘Protune’ mode. Protune enables a range of functions providing the advanced and manual controls you’d expect to find on a professional camera, including exposure control and raw capture modes. Without Protune, the Hero is more of a point-and-shoot option suited to beginners or those who don’t want to deal with a large array of possibly confusing settings. GoPro Hero Vs GoPro Hero5 Black: Conclusion Despite external appearances, the Hero and Hero5 Black are very different products. The Hero is a limited and much simplified entry-level device, whereas the Hero5 Black is a former flagship product with all the bells and whistles a professional user might expect. If you’re looking for a fun, rugged and waterproof camera to take on vacation, then both would fit the bill. But, the Hero5 Black will deliver superior quality and create output that’s easier to edit in desktop software, especially if you want to combine its output with other video sources at various frame rates. Despite the extra cost, the Hero5 Black makes much more sense for enthusiasts and is well worth the extra money for anyone who might want to go beyond the basics. The Hero, on the other hand, is a welcome addition to the range for those who prefer to stick to automatic settings and aren’t fussed about high-end features such as 4K or slow motion. Full specifications of all current GoPro models are available at the GoPro Shop.
