GoPro deserves credit for breathing life back into the stagnant camcorder business. While traditional camcorders have lost their luster, action cameras have gained popularity. Competitors from Sony to Polaroid have challenged GoPro for this turf, but it remains king of the mountain it built.

Great video and photo quality, Simple yet sophisticated, Vivid touchscreen, Highly stable Wi-Fi

Limited battery life, Some issues with pixelation, Can’t handle bright, direct light
The GoPro Hero4 Silver takes everything we liked about the Hero3+ Black -- especially the solid video quality -- and adds in some handy new features including a touchscreen, making it one of the best little action cameras around.

The GoPro Hero4 Silver produces some great video for an action cam. Its abundant resolution and frame-rate options will satisfy beginners and experienced shooters. The built-in touchscreen makes previewing and reviewing and changing settings a breeze.

It still needs a housing to be waterproof. Battery redesign means you can't use your old batteries and battery life will still be too short for some. No option for in-camera digital image stabilization.
Underneath the surface, the GoPro's Hero4 Silver is basically the Hero3+ Black Edition—and that's a good thing. Its top-notch performance and new touch-screen display justify this action cam's $400 price tag.

Excellent video quality. Capable of 4K recording. Versatile shooting modes. Touch-screen LCD. Improved menu system.

Expensive. Short battery life.
The GoPro brand is synonymous with action cameras. The company, which is one of the pioneers of this category of cameras, has released a new model — the Hero4 Silver. It’s a mid-range model but the first GoPro to come with a built-in touchscreen.

Supports multiple resolutions and frame rates; captures high-quality videos and photos; has a handy 1.5in touchscreen.

Short battery life; not compatible with older GoPro batteries.
The GoPro HERO4 Silver includes full HD video at 60 FPS, 720p HD video at 120 FPS, 2.7k at 30 FPS, and yes, even 4k capability.

Protune mode for truly excellent video quality, Touchscreen LCD display, Best time-lapse system, 2.7k 30p video allows cropping and stabilizing in post without loss of quality, Records video and time-lapse, simultaneously, 30 FPS 12-MP still photos, Excellent built-in audio (mono), Best mounting...

Pricey compared to some other options, 4k at 15 FPS isn’t really useful, No built-in image stabilization, Awkward, blocky form factor
The GoPro Hero 4 Silver didn't blow us away with any new ground breaking features, like 4K footage or super high frame rates, but the refinements employed by GoPro were not only necessary but handy.

Useful built-in screen, great image quality, loaded with features, good low-light performance.

The Hero4 Silver is GoPro's second-billed camera (behind the Hero4 Black), but it's actually the best one for the money. The Silver offers the same detailed image quality and steady-looking video as the Black, along with advanced recording modes with the image-quality and adjustment tools for...

Video and photos can look a tad hazy, Case muffles audio
This GoPro may be silver, but it's hard to call it second best.
This camera worked great for a couple months. Then problems started with videos freezing during recording, and the display screen locking up. GoPro will give you a run around about buying new high speed microSD cards ($$$) and going through a variety of firmware upgrades to fix this problem.

Good video quality for a couple months

Well known problems with camera's freezing/dying after about a year
Despite some of the extras not being made for the GoPro, it is still worth the bundle just because buying a memory card and a GoPro would have cost more than this bundle costs. So it did still save money even if you don't use the tripod or bag.

Buying this bundle saves you money on buying a memory card. GoPro is amazing of course, awesome camera for action sports

The tripod is not meant for a GoPro. You can't actually mount the GoPro to the tripod. When I asked if I could have it switched out, I was told no, it is an additional gift with my purchase.
I did not think I would use everything in this bundle, but have found it all to be quiet handy! I have used almost every piece, in one setting or another. I highly recommend!
Please disregard this test review. Thank you.
Use it at work to keep track of thing. Take with me on weekend outings.
