Best GoPro Cameras: Full HD Recording Format

GoPro HD HERO3 White Edition

Rating: 4.9

One of the oldest action cameras from GoPro is still available for purchase. It ranked our rating due to its relatively low cost. In the Russian stores for this little one they ask for no more than 19 thousand rubles. And if you buy the device with it, you can save at least half of this amount!

Like other cameras GoPro Hero, the device is amazing miniature size and weight, not exceeding 56 grams. The product comes with an underwater case. A camera packed into it almost ceases to hear external sounds, but inside it, even divers and divers can use the device. On the body of the gadget you can find just a couple of keys. It is with their help that all controls are implemented. However, it is more convenient to work with settings using a smartphone that synchronizes with the camera via Wi-Fi.

This action camera was announced and released a long time ago. In this regard, some of its characteristics have become obsolete. In particular, it is unpleasantly surprising to write video at 60 frames per second only at HD resolution. If you choose the quality of Full HD, the frequency is reduced exactly twice. Otherwise, this is a very undemanding camera that is capable of storing content on a memory card of almost any class. It also boasts a very long time.

GoPro HERO4 Session

Rating: 4.8

For a long time, GoPro company produced only flagship action cameras. But it gradually became clear that it was time to compete with the Chinese, who flooded the market with low-end devices with their products. As a result, GoPro HERO4 Session came into being, without which our rating would be incomplete. This device has turned out the most compact, and it can shoot in Full HD resolution or some lower one. The lack of a powerful processor here has contributed to an increase in the duration of the shooting - in some modes the camera can work up to two hours.

On some elements of the design, the American manufacturer decided not to save.For example, he introduced two microphones here, thanks to which the software tries to fight wind noise. Also, the camera is endowed with familiar Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules.

The device does not have an LCD display in the usual sense of the word. If you want to do cropping, you will have to organize synchronization with your smartphone. Such a crumb weighs only 74 grams. The case of the gadget is waterproof - no underwater case is no longer needed. The disadvantage of this solution is a non-removable battery - if the charge ends, then you can continue shooting video only by connecting an external battery.

Best GoPro Cameras: UHD 4K Recording Format

GoPro HERO4 Black

Rating: 5.0

Wonderful action camera, which is still used by many video bloggers. The device was born a few years ago, but this does not prevent him from being in demand now. The gadget got into our rating due to good photosensitivity - this camera shoots in the dark is already noticeably better than its predecessors. Also, the American manufacturer introduced optics here, the viewing angle of which can reach 170 degrees. To someone such a picture may seem ugly. However, in the settings you can always choose a less wide angle, the camera in this case ceases to use the edges of the 12-megapixel matrix.

This device can shoot video in 4K resolution - the frame rate will be 30 FPS. When shooting some tricks, high-speed mode will come to the rescue when the frequency rises to 120 frames / s with Full HD resolution. It should be noted and the fact that this action camera is great for shooting photos. They can be done even during video filming, which is also good news.

On the body of the gadget there are familiar interfaces. You can connect not only a charger or a computer to the USB port, but also an external microphone - you only need a special adapter. There is also a HDMI-out here, thanks to which the video can be watched on the TV at any moment. As for the wireless modules, their set is standard. NFC, as it is easy to guess, is missing. However, the loss is small - the above-mentioned chip is used only during the very first synchronization with a smartphone.

GoPro HERO5 Black

Rating: 4.9

At one time, the American company GoPro decided to significantly reduce the price tag for their products, as sales began to sink. She did this by eliminating the underwater box. In the case of GoPro HERO5 Black, it has to be bought separately. However, such a need will arise only among scuba divers who need to descend to a depth of 20-30 meters. The fact is that the body of the action camera is waterproof by default. He is not hindered by not only rain, but also two or three meters deep.

HERO5 Black became the first GoPro camera to receive a GPS chip. It is usually used to write geotags in photos.But it is also useful during road or bike trips - in the future, you can provide the image with information about distance and speed, and even a mini-map. Like its predecessor, the camera can shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second. If you want to get a slow-motion video of any trick or experiment, then you should choose a resolution of 720p - in this mode, the frequency rises to 240 frames / s.

On the back of the device is a two-inch display. With it, you can see everything that falls into the frame. It is also here that the manipulation of the settings. Finally, it should be noted the increased quality of photos. They can be saved in the RAW format, which then allows for full editing using any computer program. One can not but mention the voice control - it allows you to make a frame without touching the shutter button (this reduces the likelihood of blurring the picture).

GoPro HERO6 Black

Rating: 4.8

At the time of this writing, HERO6 Black is the best creation of the American company GoPro. It cannot be said that the product received a very large number of innovations, if we compare it with the model released the year before. Nevertheless, the manufacturer tried to squeeze the most out of the existing form factor. He improved the quality of microphones, and also added the ability to shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second, thanks to which the device turned out to be in this rating. If the shooting is carried out at 1080p resolution, then the frequency of 240 frames / s becomes available! Unthinkable for some time values! Of course, to use these modes you will need a UHS-3 microSD memory card. But the extra cost is worth it!

The structure of the device includes a two-inch LCD display, which allows to get acquainted with the fact that right now falls into the frame. It is also used for camera settings. It is recommended to drive on the screen only with dry fingers, as it reacts not to the best on wet ones. However, most often the display is not required at all - an adequately functioning voice control is implemented in the device.

If we compare GoPro HERO6 Black with its predecessors, then we must mention the presence of a GPS chip here. Its use is relevant, for example, during cycle trips, when you want to add a picture with information about speed, distance and route. Will delight the buyer and the opportunity that appeared a year ago to drop an action camera into the water. Purchase of underwater boxing is required only for scuba divers, descending to great depths.

Conclusion

These are the best action cameras GoPro among the existing at the moment. There is no doubt that in the future the American manufacturer will definitely try to surprise us once again. But it is not necessary to wait for this moment - you can buy an action camera right now, you will not be disappointed in it for sure!
