what's up guys Lew here back with a brand new video and today we're taking a look at something that is exciting and I know I say that every single time but this one is really exciting to me I've been waiting for it for a little while and by that I mean not like waiting in the mail not like there's been a package in the mail for far too long but I just never got around to picking one up this is a GoPro and it's the hero4 black edition it is 4k in the palm of your hand like the title of this video implies it's a tiny little camera that can shoot 4k at 30fps or it can shoot higher frame rates for slow-motion at 1080p it really has a huge number of different recording formats and like all other GoPro products you have a huge number of accessories and mounts so that you can use it in a number of different environments including harsh ones this thing is tough its rugged and the reason I picked one up it's a bit of a long-winded introduction is because I'm going to be shooting some hockey stuff many of you don't know I'm actually a hockey player myself I still play twice a week even though I'm an old man so I'm going to take a couple of these on the ice along with some other equipment to see if I can get some cool shots so anyways here we have it the hero4 black edition you have the camera that standard housing a rechargeable battery a couple of mounts skeleton backdoor USB cable quick-release buckles and a pivot arm also it requires class 10 memory or uhs-1 and that's micro sd so there's not a huge selection on the market but I'm gonna try to link some popular choices that are approved by GoPro down in the description because as you know with 4k video it's going to require a fairly fast card what am I talking about this isn't hard to get into I feel like an old bird was a lot more difficult to open up and this one is either that or I'm just a pro now this is the top-of-the-line version so there is a silver version as well which doesn't shoot 4k but it actually has a feature that this Black Edition doesn't have and that is an LCD a touchscreen LCD on the back of it that's not a huge deal for me these things are so wide when they shoot video that you don't really need to see what you're shooting point-and-shoot literally just aim this thing and it's probably in the frame plus if you absolutely need an LCD you can always add the optional accessory to the black edition and of course I wanted the 4k recording so you can see it's in a basic housing here which I'll open up real quick I know a thing or two about GoPros I just haven't got this version yet look how tiny these are that gets me every single time just how tiny the GoPro is but that's a huge selling feature of the GoPro it's the reason these cameras are so popular or one of the reasons you can stick them anywhere anywhere also inside the package we have the remaining accessories and these are what really puts the GoPro into action there is the skeleton backdoor a couple of 3m mounts some different mounting arms over here the little battery which of course you can get an extra one and keep that on hand so you don't run out in the old days replacing the batteries and GoPros was a little bit harder to do and then you have a mini USB cable obviously that's going to be used to charge up the device now this mount on the top looks to be sort of part of the plate so you're not getting that off you have no extra mount with you see the thing is here you can get like Motorsports accessories you can get diving accessories helmet mounts and so most people get these will sort of expand on their GoPro package as time goes on but this is your very basic housing here so taking a closer look at the tiny little GoPro Hero 4 black addition you'll notice it has fairly simple input you just have this power slash mode button a little LCD above there with some indicator lights you've also got a button on the top of the device that's going to be your record button along with another light indicator on this side of the device you have a Settings button and then on the back you have this expansion port as I mentioned before that port can be used for expanding to either an LCD BacPac if you want to see what you're recording or interface with the device that way or it can be used for a battery backup for example if you want to get extended battery life on the bottom you have a little door where your battery is going to live your internal battery and then the remainder of your i/o happens over here on the side here you have an HDMI output as well as a USB output and then a micro SD card slot as I mentioned before you're going to need a fairly high speed micro SD to take advantage of those high bitrate recording modes that the black edition hero4 supports so that wraps up this unboxing and overview the gopro hero4 black edition if you guys are interested in pricing and availability and you want to shoot 4k in the palm of your hand I will drop a link to this down in the description and since it is a camera it only makes sense to show you guys some sample footage so I will layer some in at the very end of this video but before we get there I want to give a shout out to the AT&T YouTube channel because I did a couple of videos for them that's right yours truly featured on the official AT&T YouTube channel you see how far we've come me you all of us together so I did a couple of unboxings for them and they wanted to get the unbox therapy treatment so I unboxed the note for AT&T version as well as the LG G watch R which I don't believe that video is up yet but anyways I'll link whatever's available down in the description so go show some support and some love that wraps this one up thanks as always for watching and now let's roll into that footage from this hero4 black edition check this out you
