GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition

We have two GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition cameras available for loan. They are versatile sport cameras that shoot in a variety of resolutions and can be waterproof with the use of the waterproof housing. GoPro also offers software to edit; render, import and colour correct video taken on GoPro cameras.  The cameras are to be used in tandem with a smart device. With the GoPro app for mobile or tablet the settings can be changed and the app offers a live stream of the camera. Through software and a special housing, the cameras can also shoot in 3D.
