Combined with powerful new features and technologies—and improvements to audio, usability, wireless connectivity and more—HERO4 Black is the most advanced, highest-performing GoPro ever.

4x the resolution of 1080p
4K30, 2.7K60, 1080p120, 720p240—HERO4 Black is the first camera of its kind to feature ultra high-resolution, high frame rate video as powerful as this. Once the exclusive domain of large, costly cameras, HERO4 Black delivers truly professional video quality in a tiny package. Stunning clarity, liquid-smooth slow-motion playback, and cinema-quality capture. HERO4 Black brings it all.

Fast, powerful photo capture
HERO4 Black captures gorgeous 12MP photos for all your production needs—from creating album art to documenting life on tour. Choose from a variety of modes to nail the perfect shot. Burst mode shoots up to 30 photos in one second—perfect for drum solos and other fast-action sequences. Time Lapse automatically captures photos at set time intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds. It’s great for instrument-mounted shots when the shutter button is out of reach or capturing a series of photos so you can pick your favorites.

New settings for after dark
Capture super low-light scenes in a whole new way. New Night Photo and Night Lapse modes offer customizable exposure settings of up to 30 seconds for single and Time Lapse photos. Whether you’re shooting the crowd in a dark venue or a detail onstage before the lights go up, get the flexibility you need to create powerful images in any ultra low-light scenario.

Control, view and share with built-in Wi-Fi + Bluetooth
HERO4 Black features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing you to connect to the GoPro App, Smart Remote (sold separately) and more. The GoPro App transforms your phone or tablet into a live video remote for your camera, offering full control of all functions and settings, easy shot preview and playback, plus sharing via text, email, Facebook and more. The Smart Remote allows you to control multiple GoPro cameras from distances of up to 600’ (180m).

Professional audio performance
Featuring a powerful new audio system, HERO4 Black captures clean, high fidelity sound. Its cutting-edge microphone delivers nearly 2x the dynamic range, while a best-in-class audio algorithm ensures your recordings sound smoother and more natural than ever. Plus, with its new, integrated ADC (analog-to-digital converter), HERO4 Black is compatible with a wider variety of professional low-sensitivity external mics3 for immersive stereo audio capture and enhanced performance, whether recording voices, an acoustic jam session or a live show.

Small, lightweight design
Weighing just 3.1 ounces, the tiny HERO4 Black camera ensures it’s your performance, not its presence that holds your audience’s attention. The small size makes it ideal for mounting to instruments and low-profile capture onstage.

Ultra wide-angle lens
Fit the whole band in the frame thanks to HERO4 Black’s ultra wide-angle glass lens. It’s great for capturing large groups in small spaces—like a cramped rehearsal room or crowded club—and delivers an expansive field of view for dynamic, engaging footage.

HiLight Tag your best moments
HiLight Tag, a new HERO4 feature, enables you to mark key moments while recording so you can quickly locate your best clips later for convenient playback, editing or sharing using the GoPro App or GoPro Studio. Just press the dedicated button on the camera or Smart Remote (sold separately), or use the GoPro App to tag your highlights.

Time Lapse videos made easy
Love the Time Lapse videos you’ve seen on the GoPro Channel? Now you can easily create one yourself—without spending hours in the editing room. In Time Lapse Video mode, the camera captures a Time Lapse video automatically. It’s a great way to showcase an entire show or jam session as a short, shareable video.

Auto Low Light mode
Whether you’re at a late-night festival or jamming in your garage, Auto Low Light mode intelligently changes frame rates based on lighting conditions for optimal low-light performance. The camera does the thinking for you, so you can capture crisp, clear footage in darker environments without having to adjust your camera settings.

Protune, now for photo + video
Protune unlocks the camera’s full potential, delivering minimally compressed, cinema-caliber video optimized for professional productions, and advanced manual controls for photos and video. Flex your creativity with customizable settings for Color, ISO Limit, White Balance, Sharpness and Exposure—and enjoy the greatest degree of manual control available in a GoPro camera.
