They have now of course taken over the action camera world, and deservedly\u00a0so. Naturally they have gotten better with every generation. The last one, the 3+ is terrific.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is GoPros have never been a primary form of camera due to my type of work. After all, I am not a base jumper, skier, surfer etc etc&#8230;this is what they have primarily become used for. My use of GoPros had been for attaching to things. People&#8230;.cars&#8230;etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A lot changed for me though, when I used my 3+ in conjunction with something else, A DJI Phantom 2, and the result was magical for me, like a whole new dawn of freedom when it came to filmaking. The was also the first complete GoPro piece I have made! I had done some tests prior to this and some fun little time lapses but never anything considered like this.<\/p>\n<p>The GoPro will never become my main camera &#8211; it will always be for specialist stuff like flying or underwater, but as a tool I have always loved it, and I am always desperate for a new one as I know the improvements will be much needed! The GoPro is an essential part of my kit, and if it&#8217;s gotten a lot better then I will be very happy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"277\" data-src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/97455734?color=ffffff\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/97455734\">Koh Yao Noi<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/philipbloom\">Philip Bloom<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32416 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-670x494.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05404\" width=\"670\" height=\"494\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-670x494.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-310x228.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404.jpg 1300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/494;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32416\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-670x494.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05404\" width=\"670\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-670x494.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404-310x228.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05404.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32458\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32458 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-670x446.jpg\" alt=\"Same connections on side\" width=\"670\" height=\"446\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-310x206.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/446;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32458\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-670x446.jpg\" alt=\"Same connections on side\" width=\"670\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921-310x206.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3921.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Same connections on side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">IMPROVEMENTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The things that bugged me about the 3+ that I hoped would be rectified.<\/p>\n<p>Low light performance<\/p>\n<p>Battery performance<\/p>\n<p>Lack of manual control<\/p>\n<p>Usable 4K frame rates<\/p>\n<p>120 fps onto 720p<\/p>\n<p>The lack of a back button for menus, as they are fiddly.<\/p>\n<p>and probably lots more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I received the GoPro 4 at the end of last week just after getting home from filming at the Dead Sea for a week.

There is a new battery compartment with a new shaped battery with larger capacity, at the bottom of the GoPro instead of the back. The GoPro connector is still the same on the back, so the battery Bac Pac and LCD one still work. This should mean it will work with the older Phantom ZenMuse gimbals. The newer ones have changed and don&#8217;t use that anymore, which is a shame.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly\/ annoyingly the Black and Silver models confuse things a lot. The Black was always the top of the range, and it is positioned as such, but the silver has all the Black has, minus the 24,25p and 30p 4K AND it has a built in screen at the back! I would love a screen to be built in without needing the LCD Backpac. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if we see a Black + version with a screen at some point.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32451\" style=\"width: 549px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"GoP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32451 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/gopro_hero4_silver_edition_back.jpg\" alt=\"GoPro 4 Silver has a screen!

The app of course will be full compatible when the 4 is released. Still, I got the framing pretty good considering, as you can see below. This is ungraded and untouched, shot in 4K 25p in ProTune flat medium sharpness (next time low is recommended) and ISO max set to 400. This works well when you get to the end of this clip as I go into a car park.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure what other manual control there is apart from setting the max ISO. Setting it as low as 400 is great and wasn&#8217;t available with the 3+, but I would have loved shutter speed control (aperture is of course fixed) and electronic ND. One of the biggest giveaways of GoPro footage is that high shutter speed. Yes you can use clip on ND etc, but I was hoping for something internal to help teo. If it really is just limiting ISO then that&#8217;s a shame. I will need to look into this more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ddm\/clk\/277490477;104882576;x?http:\/\/vimeo.com\/pro\/new?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_medium=prosubscribe-pbloom-promo-desktop-20131108&amp;utm_campaign=8941\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/PhilipBloomAd_640x50_v1-1.png\" alt=\"PhilipBloomAd_640x50_v1-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"50\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px;

Using my Phantom 2 with it. It&#8217;s the same size and seems very much the same weight, plus it has the same rear connector for most of the ZenMuse Phantom gimbals out there. Although my H3-3D is the newer one, that has removed the rear connector and replaced it with the side connectors and a thin piece of ribbon. It&#8217;s a shame, as it&#8217;s nowhere near as robust, but the reason is to make it compatible with DJI&#8217;s excellent &#8220;Lightbridge&#8221; HD video relay system, which is what I used it with.<\/p>\n<p>So the new GoPro 4 appears to be fully compatible with the H3-3D, and of course I would assume the H3-2D&#8230;when I say appears to be, as mentioned above I have only used the newer version of the H3-3D. I have not tested it with the older one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32428 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-667x1000.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05301\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-206x310.jpg 206w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301.jpg 868w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 667px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 667\/1000;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32428\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-667x1000.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05301\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301-206x310.jpg 206w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05301.jpg 868w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32427 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-670x447.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05302\" width=\"670\" height=\"447\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-310x206.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302.jpg 1300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/447;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32427\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-670x447.jpg\" alt=\"DSC05302\" width=\"670\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302-310x206.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC05302.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Lightbridge gives you a massive range for first person view with crystal clear 1080 image, all the telemetry you would get from the iOS, plus you can also plug it into your smartphone and use that as a monitor (or just use an HDMI monitor).<\/p>\n<p>The image with lightbridge from the Phantom is perfect. It&#8217;s pricey though, so not for everyone. Its quality is equivalent to the Vision series setup, just with a much bigger range.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the software needs to be upgraded for the GoPro 4, as the image froze as soon as I hit record which was a pain. Flying blind isn&#8217;t much fun! I am sure it will be fixed soon though.<\/p>\n<p>The shots aren&#8217;t exciting, just a few to test out and share.

Tutorials<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sensor inside the GoPro is TEENY, and to squeeze 4K onto it is a fair bit&#8230;what&#8217;s the key though is the bitrate. With GoPro, we don&#8217;t have shallow depth of field. It&#8217;s all deep depth of field. Deep depth of field generally means more detail, and more detail means harder on compressed footage. I have been getting around 60mbit\/s which is not that much really. For HD fine, but for 4K? The shots I did in the park \u00a0are clearly a struggle with all that information. I need to do an HD\/ 4K comparison of the same shot to see which fares best. I feel the HD one will, as the ProTune bit rate for HD is around what I am getting for the 4K, yet for an image 4 times the size? The version you can download from Vimeo is not an original clip from the Phantom. I will add that as soon as I can.<\/p>\n<p>My feeling from this is that I will use 2.7K \u00a050p mode mostly (48p if shooting 24p), as the detail is excellent and the codec can handle it. I am not giving up on the 4K yet, but it does seem to be a bit much for it, certainly in the conditions I tried it with. Having 50\/48p in 2.7k is a big plus from the 3+, as this resolution was always my favourite for details and lack of image issues, but it couldn&#8217;t do more than 30p before.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a short test clip showing this mode (although Vimeo is giving me grief with the quality of the conversion, as it looks a bit shit here! I am working on it!) \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/107564878\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I will add to this flying section when I have done more tests.<\/p>\n<p>There was talk of a 240fps mode in 720p.
