screenshots from some of the aerial reels i took this week
non-stabilized so i didn't bother de-fisheye/level the horizon
last pic managed to get golden ears and port mann in one frame (12km apart)

I'm quite tempted by the hero 4 silver.
These go pros seem alot more versatile than what I originally thought, but when I saw the price tag I died a little. :(

Would you say that the Hero4 is a better alternative than the Hero3+?

Either going to be getting: http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHY-40...MTXY3NB9CNV14A

or

Amazon.com: GoPro HERO3+: Silver Edition: Camera & Photo

We're these shots pretty much poit and shoot? Or did you set your ISO and white balance beforehand?

oh damn, you just missed adorama ebay's hero4 black for 400 usd today
they seem to have it once a month

i'm not too familiar with the 3+ silver but if you're gonna spend few hundred then the 4 silver is the go-to option.

this is an awesome site for consumers in general.

those are actually VLC player screenshots of a 4K30 wide video. I'm unable to take photos in the air without a gimbal. Most are set at Protune (GP version of RAW), WB auto, ISO 400, Sharpness High before I fly. I touched up the colours a bit in LR.

Looks like it's still going on

This one right?

Has anyone managed to find any sort of protection for the LCD screen on the hero 4 silver? There doesn't appear to be anything available locally. Seems like the only option is to order from gopro - $15 shipping for a $10 item

^ not an expert on gopro's but do you mean this? HERE

He could be looking for this thing: http://shop.gopro.com/accessories/he...ABDSP-001.html

Since the HERO4 Silver comes with a built in LCD screen at the back. If it is that you're looking for and its just a screen protector you can just cut a phone one or something.

That's what I'm looking for TOS'd. Unfortunately I've never had good experiences with cutting my own screen protectors. I'd rather it be cut perfectly to fit. I'm ocd like that :(

I thought only the 4+ Silver have LCD and not the 3+...
But I'm sure you can find ones similar to this
GoPro Hero 3+ lens protector set | GoPro | Best Skins Ever

the Hero4 Silver has an LCD built-in whereas you need the LCD backpack for the Hero3+.

I don't think the Hero3+ back plate cover will be the right size for the Hero4 Silver LCD. I do have some spare screen protectors if you can get over your OCDness lol. Wonder if I can find dimensions for the LCD screen.

Seems like buying a DIY protector from London drugs or something is my best bet. Unless I'm able to find something at crystal mall or something..

It's hard to believe there is no market for these. GoPros are the ipones of action cams wtf..

I found them on amazon.ca/ebay.ca but they require shipping and you asked for local so I didn't bother mentioning them.

So I ended up not getting the Black :( sat on it too long and then it went back up in price.

I'm back at looking at the Silver4 and was wondering which bundle would be best out of the ones listed on Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHY-40...keywords=gopro

Would 32GB be enough for a days worth of activities? Or should I look at getting backup cards as well?

I'm thinking either the starter bundle or the surf bundle.

edit: ended up just getting the starter bundle as I don't think I'll be using the surf mounts as much

went to tofino over the weekend
had a polarizer on but the highlights were still really strong

just got the hero 4 silver , all the extra accessories ( charger, spare batteries, mounts, etc ) adds up

Got my hero4 silver for $360 tax in, I was a happy camper :fullofwin:

You guys think a Hero4 Silver for $340 USD tax in is a good deal? Or would you guys wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and Boxing Day sales first.

I got mine on shop.ca.
Free shipping and 100$ off seemed like the best deal I could find.

I paid $360 cdn tax in.

Where!?

Well I just capitalized on some deals.

Rexall was selling sport Chek gift cards where you buy $50 gift and get $10 off. So I bought $500 worth(so I only paid $400).
Sport chek had a deal if you spend over $200, they give you a $50 gift card.
And if you sign up online for sport Chek new letter you get 10% off.

So $400-10%-$50 gift card = $350 for hero silver 4

Anyone ever have problems with updating their Hero 4 Silver? Turned on my brand new camera and attempted to update it with my phone. Everything was going fine until the camera starts flashing red lights, shows "camera updating" on the screen, turns off, and then repeats over again. Can't access any other functions and the touchscreen isn't turned on.

It does that a few times until the update is complete.
