GoPro Hero 4 vs. GoPro Hero 5 | Review & Tips

[@takatuka2840]

Best timelapse in the end!

[@GBLynden]

Good video but your video test footage made it less valuable. Why the diagonal shots when you loose most of the sky? It made it harder to compare them. The stabilization tests are among the best on KZbin, so thank you for those.

[@ChinHungHsu]

hey dude, this is the best hero 4 & 5 comparison video on youtube, so clear!

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Chin Hung Hsu wow thank you very much!

[@Happymali10]

I think the fact that you can record while charging is also great for filming in cars, since it helps lengthen the pretty poor battery life.

[@greyjohnson4124]

Max S. this works with all GoPros

[@ktrigg2]

Wow, it seems the image stabilization might be the pivotal factor really. That's quite a differnce.

[@vipindharmadan]

I bought this camera on 2016 boxing day which was attracted by a description on best buy website "night vision". However there is no night vision option on this camera. I purchased a memory card to use it on Hero 5 Black, according to the description given on the gopro website. Unfortunately card stop working after 17 minites continuous shooting. I noticed following defects on Hero 5 back which are given below 1. Lens portion of camera is heating up after 15 minits continuous shooting. 2.There is no good video quality for 4k video (my canon 6D have better quality on 1920*1080 video shooting than Gopro) 3. Misleading information on remaining battery charge information. 4. camera stop working after exactly 17 minits shooting..

[@KevinHPhotography]

Still impressed by the fact that you printed your own dual GoPro mount

[@jowiedizon6397]

need help i dont know what to i ill go with hero5 or her4 silver i cnt see any diff aside off vid stabilization, build in water prof, voice comand hero 5 is more expensive hero 4 less? help pls

[@PolymerJones]

can you remove the door on the panel so you could have an external mic without the flap hanging open??

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Paul Fisher yes that's possible but you'll need the original (!) GoPro USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter to get any microphone working.

[@nige]

Great review. I was hoping you would have more of a verbal opinion as well as showing the differences.

[@RabiiHayani]

Plz the name of the track in the minute 6.20

[@danpaduano101]

do you think it's worth upgrading from the hero 4 silver to the 5 black? I use my gopro for my backpacking trips and it seem like the image stabiliser in the 5 will help, also without needing the waterproof housing on the 5, you can prob hear the video nice and clear vs with the 4 right? I'm also concerned about the internal battery, does it die as fast as the hero 4 interchangeable batterys?

[@welfarestates8465]

danpaduano101 I personally don't think it's worth upgrading for. There are others who will say differently though.

[@danpaduano101]

Welfare States thanks man, I appreciate it.

[@anastacioabat5326]

what specs do you use in the time lapse on the last part of the video?

[@HaysClark]

Could you do a specific Timelapse feature comparison video? With side by side testing low light, battery life, etc. I'm specifically curious about 4k.

[@LifiaTubeHD]

great video. I wonder how do you use software to edit in 01:03 Thank you very much

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Lifia Niala hey :) you have an impressive channel! I use Final Cut Pro X for every edit. The lines in the video are made with a special plugin for FCPX :) Feel free to ask again!

[@andthentheresbob]

Hi there... I was just wondering if we were going to see part 2 of your hyperlapse tutorial anytime soon?

[@govidz531]

How would you see a difference if they are both on the same settings?

[@beau-urns]

Great video. The techno cut was a bit jarring though

[@unnamed9254]

I know this is old but would you consider upgrading

[@AlexErika]

Nice comparison! I saw the thumbnail and thought of Casey's comparison he did. Great video and feedback.

[@sandrinericordeau1388]

Nice design, works well and very easy to set up.

[@crispinshipp2624]

so which one should i get???

[@nickhawtin7243]

Can you connect an external battery for long nightlapse photo and the camera still be waterproof ?

[@fkselasi]

hello that's a great video.... i have receieved a used gopro 4 but there's a freezing fault... please help

[@brianp6097]

Nice comparison review , thank you . Love the time lapse recording .

[@bigearedmouse17]

In the Future the Hero 4 Silver will become a Classic.

[@jayboy189]

can you use voice command to turn it on aswell as off

[@bayanganfishingchannel6242]

Thank you for this review. . .it helps me a lot. .

[@larstrans789]

Splendid review. Covers the diffferences, which is really what You want to know. ✔️🙂

[@tylerm4473]

trying to figure out how to do nightlapse with the hero 5. my area has little light pollution but not too much. also the hero 5 is water proof right out of the box right? ive been afraid to dip it in water lol

[@1ali1996]

did u said " hla fox" in the beginning, cause "hla" means "hi or walcam or hello"

[@odlanorirom]

...the gyro orientation (auto orientation) only works if you're not recording, right? this is the issue i got from my hero 4 black...once i press the record button and tip the cam upside down, it stays upside down...

[@jonasbarakat]

ronnie mori all gopros have this feature and its for people who do backflips and stuff and don't want the camera to turn mid way

[@odlanorirom]

ok...tnx...

[@dennisperalta10]

Best comparison and review! Thanks

[@grayisagirl]

I have a question, if I turn on both Linear POV and Video Stabilization at the same time, will the Field Of View cropped by 20%?

[@rexczi6299]

grayisagirl c no

[@randomguy5221]

How you can compare Silver to new Hero5? You should compare hero4black.. to talk about improvement etc.

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+RandomGuy i wasn't comparing 4K so I think that's fine and in my opinion the hero 5 is a combination of 4 silver and 4 black so it doesn't matter which one I took ;)

[@enrwjes]

can you give me the Link for the filter of the hero4? please :(

[@art-vb5lg]

can you inform me plz by which camera did you record this video ? thanks

[@bernardojunior8784]

Good afternoon, what model of camera did you use to record this video ?, Canon T5i? 60D .....?

[@ikhonestyles7051]

nice review man. what you used to edit all of your video.

[@hackmyharley5587]

should i wipe front to back or back to front?

[@thedollworld4649]

[@dlnksn]

I'm thorn to which should I buy. is the extra bucks worth it for the hero 5 black?.

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Eds the Coverer check out my latest video! It's a Buyers guide :)

[@leovill2065]

Eds the Coverer Buy the Hero 5 Black the Screen is better and the voice command is worth it.The quality of the photo and video is slightly better and the battery life is also slightly better.Let alone its already waterproof.I have both and i was happy with the Hero 5 black.Its my go to camera from now on.

[@dlnksn]

Right. And and might as well get the latest version right?.

[@adamrosin5614]

That's a really good video! But I think you should have chosen a different location to compare the video quality . With more motion and contrast. But still a super good comparison man

[@viclenard183]

fyh

[@abhijithneo5799]

The timelapse last shown is it edited??!!

[@dailytravel9661]

Can you suggest which go pro is the best to buy?

[@dailytravel9661]

ŁK-liptus entertainment thank you how about hero silver or hero 5? Which one?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

I am currently working on a html-based program to choose the best cam for your needs!

[@rivalrygaming2898]

I thought the hero5 was amazing and great but now there are so many videos say older gopros are better then the hero5 black and session.

[@syntacticreality4855]

Can you put Hero5 into Hero4 waterproof housing? Does it fit??

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Sonic Boom No, the Hero 5 is bigger than the Hero 4. You have to buy a housing called 'super suit' by GoPro

[@petertriandos9642]

Hey great video, Do you mind assisting me? I have a MacBook pro late 2013 and I don't plan on upgrading for another 2-3 years and so hear is my question. How can I charge my gopro if i dont have any usb c ports?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Jordan Triandos The Hero 5 comes with a USB to USB-C charging cable, so you can use your PC or any powerbank with a USB-Slot to charge it :)

[@petertriandos9642]

The TIMELAPSE Guy sorry I misunderstood, they charge with usb-c. hahaha :)

[@petertriandos9642]

The TIMELAPSE Guy I just watched your unboxing

[@SidneyYi123]

Is it worth upgrading from Hero 4 Black to the new Hero 5?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Sid only if you want to film 4K and have a display

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Motolife but only with 15fps. That's defacto not usable

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Motolife oh yeah my bad I somehow thought about the silver edition!

[@danielr4027]

Ive still got a gopro 3 black is it worth me going all the way to the 5 or just going 4 silver cause as you said I dont think anything is much different unless 4k? Id like to be doing timelapse with it like you do. Thanks again I subbed I enjoy your vids.

[@Daveje90]

1:25 fourteen meters or fourty?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Daveje90 with the GoPro dive housing 40m

[@TechnoCraftGaming]

can you record while charching in the hero 4 silver?

[@Land-Shark]

Yes, you can, works great. :-)

[@robolyn]

what kind of battery life do they both have for continuous video?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

This depends on the resolution you are filming with. I would say for the Hero 4 on 2,7K it's something from 1,5-2 hours and for the 5er its a little less when filming in 4K

[@adamrosin5614]

Do you have video for the electric gimbal and the mechincal steadycam?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Adam Rosin not yet :(

[@TheTipsyRooster]

Do the new GOPro buckles fit within the old GoPro mounts (receivers)?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Trey Reedy yes they do :)

[@TheTipsyRooster]

Phew! Now I just need to Find/Make/Have made a GoPro adapter for my Motrr Galileo and I'll make the switch from 4 Silver to 5 Black! :)

What camera were you using to record?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

[@95Hatter]

Hey, does the gopro hero 4 silver have EIS features or anything that's similar to EIS?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Delta 101 what do you mean EIS?

[@welfarestates8465]

Delta 101 EIS means electronic image stabilization for fucks sake.

[@95Hatter]

The TIMELAPSE Guy electronic image stabilization...

[@johnyyj8580]

Well, thought of saving money and buy hero 4, but after watching your video, I decided to invest more abit to get hero 5.

[@aaronf.3265]

This isn't a good comparison. Hero5 outshines the Hero4 Silver. I'd recommended using the Hero4 Black vs Hero5. Also to note when you're allowing us to view the shots, make sure to place the comparison shots in their perspective place. I noticed that you had the Hero5 on the left but you put the footage on the left when showing us the comparison shots.

[@kvillapando02]

Hi, Can the Hero 5 Black do RAW photos in timelapse mode?

[@CarpKings]

Moinsen, sag mal wohnst du in Braunschweig?

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Carp Kings ja

[@CarpKings]

Welche von den beiden Kameras würdest du denn weiter empfehlen? Mir geht`s dabei ja eigentlich ehr um die Videoqualität, aber auch etwas um die allgemeine Bedienung. Bei der 4er ist ansich kein Display dran oder? Ich besitze im Moment die Actionpro x7 möchte aber eine Kamera mit besserer Auflösung haben.

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

+Carp Kings also die 4 Silver hat einen Display. Also wenn du auf gute Bedienbarkeit und hohe Filmqualität setzt, dann würde ich tatsächlich zu Hero 5 greifen.

[@ismaelnoursing4672]

But how about hero 8

[@alexseidel4552]

I hope you know that it is hard to see which one is better because the image is cut in half so your not seeing the exact same thing

[@TheTimelapseGuy]

Thats actually not the point. You just can't tell any difference because there is none.

How about external mix at hero 5? Bad too?

[@0bbb13]

@@DinMotorider udah dihual bro jadi ga tau kalo pakai external mic. Harus nya sih lebih bagus kalo pake mic eternal kaya merek rodhe. Saran saya mending beli gopro hero 6 atau 7. Gopro hero 4 bagus di gambar dan suara tapi sayangnya ga ada stabilizer video.
