Hopefully the LCD touch screen starts working for you. Kinda sounds like between the 4 Black and 4 Silver that GoPro has a few bugs to iron out. Maybe the latest firmware updates will fix it.
Hahaha I just got mine in the mail a few minutes ago. Had to come back to this video to make sure I don't break anything opening it up. I hate reading instructions.
Discount Why don't Get GoPro HERO4 SILVER with price Very Cheap at here: amzn.to/1cLWdR9 1. Time lapse is very fun if you avoid distant objects (like the sun..who wants to shoot epic sunsets anyway.. i mean besides me) 2. Shoots high quality video (watch those import settings guys) 3. ...umm time lapse.. again? 4. Small size 5. Can be used as a heater in survival situations 6. 2 words "Dog Mount"
Kyle, love your vids and really appreciate all of the info that you share. I just got the GoPro HERO4 Silver and so far I absolutely love it ... the integrated LCD touch screen on back is amazing. Thanks so much for all of your help ... keep them coming!!
Regarding the touch screen: If you're going to post a product review, you may want to be familiar with the device you're reviewing. Not knowing how to activate the touch screen for use, and then calling the camera "buggy" is inexcusable. Could've been corrected in editing. Also, as far as the "no excuse for not having a touch screen on the Hero4 Black" : Apparently, the heat generated by the higher-powered processor required for 4k resolution in the Black edition would render an LCD screen inoperable.
Good point, but if you're bothered to be criticizing the guy can't you be a bit more positive and tell us how to unlock the touch screen for those don't know how?
Hold your finger on the screen for a moment, then after the lock icon pulls up slide down to unlock position. I appreciate him doing a review. I just thought he could've been familiar with the lcd first.
Keith Collins still only seems to work when it wants to, once it works, its all good. then i turn off the cam and it doesnt work when turned back on. Then in a min or two, it works. Frustrated.
Ya the silver has a LCD touch screen but most the time we have the camera on a pole, helmet, or car. The few times that you would use the LCD screen you could just use a smartphone or tablet. Plus the battery won't be drained out of the camera as fast. GoPro Hero 4 Black for me!
Ahor Vashum if you have the LCD screen on and recording, it will run out of battery after 1 hour 55 mins. But if you have the LCD screen off and recording, it will run out of battery after 2 hours. So hardly any difference
Just for anyone who was wondering why the Hero 4 silver does NOT shoot 4k at 30fps but the black does, is because of the touch screen itself being able to shoot for 4k at 30 FPS creates too much heat for the touchscreen to safely function at.
when you try to use the touch screen right when you tap it, it should have an unlock feature. somewhere like slide the circle and it can be used as a touch screen
I wouldn't miss the touch screen on the Black Edition.. Bought a bacpac for my first HD Hero, used it one time. Ofc it wasn't touch, but still have 3 generations and newer used it..
Just got one of these as a birthday gift.. It's in the mail on the way to me as I type this. It's my first GoPro, and first HD video camera to begin with.. And I'm super excited! Thanks for the review, I didn't know too much about the camera, or this specific model:
I have the hero black. This tutorial has helped me out a lot. I am new to GoPro but went fo the best camera so that I do not have to buy another model.
I just bought the hero4 silver but I'm a little confused as to what resolution to shoot videos at. Would you say in general just shoot at 1080p 60fps for POV and action vids and for like stiller videos 4k at 15fps? A video explaining all the different resolutions would be super helpful.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the same price of the Hero 4 Silver, one could get the Hero 3+ Black, that also comes with the dive housing (60 bucks) and the wireless remote (80 bucks?).. Wouldn't that make the Hero 3+ Black a better deal?
Thanks for the previous vid. Is it possible for you to do a vod of two GoPro 4 silvers mounted side by side and review a video shoot of one cam recording in in 2.7k and tbe other 4k. Test subjects would incude night, day and under water recording. I am primarily interested in the 2.7 and 4k modes under water with fast moving in the background. Really would like to see the comparison of the FPS between the two modes. Only if this feasible. Thanks Larry
You have to unlock the touch screen by draging your finger down and holding it on the right side of the screen. If you don't know what i mean watch goprotutorials for mor information.
Ohh, so if you press that button once, it shows you what your camera sees. And when you press and hold - it unlocks it for you to make changes and stuff? That seems like a clever solution to me: this must prevent unwanted touches and changes
Got the Silver precisely because of the little screen. I also have an Osmo and I am not happy always having to keep my iphone connected just so that I can see what I am actually shooting at. I't worked so far, though I've just got it today.
hey man great video and youve taken unboxing to the next level, i must say!!! gonna buy the hero4 silver soon, been thinking about it since it released im going to the states so i thought id pick it up there, do you know if the warranties(not gurantee) will be void when i return back to India? does gopro have international warranties? also i dont see a spare touch backdoor for the silver, on the site they only have bacpac backdoors... what are your thoughts on this? THANKS A LOT in advance...
Looking to treat myself to my first go pro, is there much difference in spec between the hero 4 silver and hero 4 black ? pricewise in the UK its £40 difference. from what I have see, researched the only differences are is that the silver records 4k at 15fps whereas the balck records 4k at 30fps, and the silver has the touchscreen but the black does not. have I missed anything ? or any other differences with regards to spec ? thanks
Well, is there a Hero 3 Black Edition? That's what you said. "I was so disappointed for that the GoPro Hero 3 Black didn't have the touch screen". I don't know. Just wondering :)
LOL thanks for this vid. I could NOT get the camera unmounted from the packaging until I watched your vid. Thanks so much. Also watched the rest of the video; going to look at more of yours.
One of the best unboxing ive seen. Very detailed! Did you say that the black version has prores as a codec for 4k?? Thats awesome! Pls confirm :) thanks
Kj Misael David if you stick to official tech specs, it's mp4 after all. See here: shop.gopro.com/Marketing/cameras/hero4-black/CHDHX-401-master.html - in 'Video Format' section
The Hero 3 and 4 look to be the same....all messed up! I love my 3+ Black Edition. Looks like you will have to wait for the Hero 4+ to have a normal working camera again. Glad I am happy and keeping my 3+ Black Edition. :)
Hello, thinking on getting this on Christmas and I got questions, since I never had one of this my first time on buying one. Do I really need to cover the camera or use the housing for it to be waterproof? And the storage of the camera like is it 16GB/32GB(Without MicroSD) or I really need to buy a microSD? Thanks!
I would like peoples opinion, when in cycling on my road bike, my GoPro is on my helmet, should i put the waterproof case on in case i crash or it rains?
Will you be able to turn on or off the lcd screen while inside the standard housing? Or do you need to take out the camera from the housing to turn it on or off?
Is there a warrenty for the camera? like if damaged? because i cracked my screen on the Hero 4 Silver and was wondering if i can send it some where to get it fixed for free or not.
THe reason that the Black has no screen is that it becomes very warm when shooting in 4K at 30 fps. According to GoPro, it would cause the screen to malfunction. You can also still get a BakPak screen for the Black.
i was planning to get the 3+Black w/remote but hero4 silver LCD is tempting (without remote). this would be my 1st gopro just want to know your thoughts on this. thank you
Honestly get the hero 4 black. Later in life you will want to do really good slow motion effects and get the best quality. Why have decent quality when u can have the best. Go big or go home. You will later want the better camera. Trust me
You can buy a wifi remote, it has a shutter button and a power button, as well as a small screen that mirrors the screen on the camera Btw, I mean the small screen in the front, not the one in the back that shows what the GoPro sees There is also something called Removu, it's a screen (not sold by GoPro) and I don't have one, but it's pretty much a screen that shows what the GoPro sees, as well as a shutter and power button You can also get the GoPro app, it allows you to assess the settings, screen, buttons, and stored videos and pictures on your GoPro I have the Hero 3+, with the LED Screen, but I prefer to watch my videos on the GoPro app You should definitely get a GoPro, but if you drop it in water without a case on for even a second, it's pretty much dead right away, but if you have its case on, it can survive basically anything I hope this helps you with your decision
How solved the problem of touch screen not working in Hero 4 silver which happened here in the video? I'm thinking to get one that's why i want to know what to do if something same happens with me too.
Yeah, plenty of people mount it in their vehicles to do timelapses of road trips and what not. I probably wouldn't use it as a replacement for a dashcam, but for a roadtrip timelapse it's cool to take photos every few seconds and then compile them into a video to show the whole trip.
im about to buy the Gopro Hero 4 Silver, and I've seen many reviews where people complain about the camera constantly freezing, and also problems with the LCD not responding of just completely not working. Please can you tell me if these problems have been solved, and if you think its still a good buy, even with the changes camera giving trouble.
You have gotten it, Kyle! :( I'm jealous. Anyway, honest question GoPro Tips and Tricks , would you be able to give a bit of tips between requiring the new HERO4 (Silver/Black) or just the HERO3+ Silver/Black? More of like a "Do You Really Need A HERO4" kind of tips.
It is too late to buy the Hero4 Silver Edition ? Should I save money for Hero5 even if its release date isn't announced ? I had Hero3 Silver Edition, just selled it. Thanks
I think you should just get the hero for silver because when the five ever comes out it's going to be probably twice as much as the four as it is now if you wait a few months after that the price will go down also when the price does go down you can also get it even cheaper off Groupon.com:) my honesty
thanks for the unboxing video, it verified that i have a defective unit. I just unboxed mines the lcd screen doesn't display anything the lens sees other than the numbers on the top and bottom of the screen, also it freezes up after pressing the menu button, after that the touchscreen or buttons don't work. your touchscreen is defective because mines does respond, again after selecting something from the options it freezes. POS!!
+Marina Prado i might be late, but my GF got me one for my birthday and i was super excited, so i think it would be a great gift, especially if he has a beloved car he likes taking pics of. :D goodluck!
Hello, I just unboxed my silver 4 as well and my touchscreen had the same issue as yours in the video. How did you solved it? I will appreciate a bunch your response.
The reason they didn't include a screen on the Hero4 Black is because of the heat it produced. It got to the point where it got too hot and destroyed the camera. Plus I think if they had a screen on it, then no one would buy the Silver.
I am thinking of getting a GoPro hero 4 session but when I watched this video, I am now not sure what to get, I chose the session bec. It was cheaper but is the silver worth the it
The only thing that I can recommend is that the GoPro session has no screen and can't be just mounted on the chest or head, on the other hand the GoPro hero 4 silver can be mounted on your chest and head ect.... But also another great thing about the silver and not the session is that the silver has a screen for viewing the stuff you are videoing
nice review!! I just got mine Today and actually I was thinking the same than you till the shop seller told me about the 4K feature!! even only 15fps is still awesome to have it on the silver with lcd touch integrated! going on vacations with it in 2 days, let's see how it works and the videos I get! :)
You have to hold down on the screen, then it should say "To unlock screen slide the orange circle to the lock and hold" :)
Thanks for the tip!☺
That’s for the backpack
Keep a finger stationary and hold it on the screen for a few seconds. This will unlock the screen and the swipe and touch functions will work.
Yeah, I think he would put this on the screen bescuse there's a lot of people who dont know this
I actually still have a brand new in box hero 4 silver if you want to do an unboxing comparison to the hero 4 to the newest gopro
Amazing. The hardest part about owning a camera is opening the box. Glad this guy gave an in depth tutorial on how to do that.
+Andrew Hernandez thanks dipshit
Hopefully the LCD touch screen starts working for you. Kinda sounds like between the 4 Black and 4 Silver that GoPro has a few bugs to iron out. Maybe the latest firmware updates will fix it.
im still having trouble taking the camera off the top of the box smh...
Hahaha I just got mine in the mail a few minutes ago. Had to come back to this video to make sure I don't break anything opening it up. I hate reading instructions.
OMG SAME! I just got it in the mail an hour ago and mine was tilted at an angle which made the screw impossibly hard to remove
Use a screwdriver....
GoPro HERO amzn.to/1HDrJhQ Best Price

silver has touch screen and its cheaper, black has no touchscreen it $100 cheaper than the black but the black has better rez.I got a silver today
General Jake you will be really happy
Kyle Martin "GoPro Tips and Tricks" Will the back touch screen effect the battery life? How long can you record at a stretch?
well the back touch screen turns off when recording when u start recording for 1minute it turns off. its great ive been to Hawaii and back with it
Ahor Vashum if you have the LCD screen on and recording, it will run out of battery after 1 hour 55 mins. But if you have the LCD screen off and recording, it will run out of battery after 2 hours. So hardly any difference

That side button you hold in and then the unlock screen pops up.. I believe
The Hero 4 Silver is my first GoPro. I had zero issues with the touch screen out of the box. No clue what was going on with yours
I wouldn't miss the touch screen on the Black Edition.. Bought a bacpac for my first HD Hero, used it one time. Ofc it wasn't touch, but still have 3 generations and newer used it..
Thanks for the video, I was planning to buy the 3+ but I saw it doesn't have a screen to see what you recording , thanks I will be buying this one.

I don't think the LCD screen would be capable of supporting 4K video and that's what GoPro is really wanting you to use the black edition for.

Hi great video!! I just wanted to ask if the standard housing affects the response of the touchscreen. Thanks!
yes the standard housing affects the touch response, that is why you need to put on the waterproof touch screen housing on that it comes with
Nice review!
When using the GoPro as a dash cam in a car, can it be used to record whilst being charged via the 12v cigarette lighter socket?
***** but can it still record while it's plugged into a power source?
Buy this Amazing Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger for GoPro HERO4 at amzn.to/1Jd2LmM

you have to hold on the screen and slide down on the lock slide to make the lcd screen work
Great video, thanks.
We just bought a Silver today.
Dumb question: We are in England, we need the setting to be PAL don't we?
Does the black and silver hero 4 get really hot like the 3+ black did? Will they overheat?
Cool GoPro Hero 4 Silver Unboxing. The GoPro is such an amazing value but I still decided to buy the GoPro Hero 4 Black.
Are you sure that both holes are microphones? I think one is the speaker and the other one is the microphone, but which one?
Should I buy it now?
You have to unlock the touch screen by draging your finger down and holding it on the right side of the screen. If you don't know what i mean watch goprotutorials for mor information.

THANKS A LOT in advance...
Very knowledgable it helped me decide on what go pro to buy thanks Kyle!!
Just ordered one myself. Did you work out why the touch screen wasn't working? Thanks
I love your watch! what kind is it?
Just purchased the GoPro Hero4 Silver...Thanks for an honest review.
maybe i eventually missed it so how can i use the flat base that the gopro is on at the beginning? i just got my silver today:) thanks
Kyle
I was thinking about getting hero4 silver for a cruise vacation do you think is good shois?
Got a Question which one should I buy now I got hero 3 black Thinking about hero 4 silver or hero 3 + black ??
Looking to treat myself to my first go pro, is there much difference in spec between the hero 4 silver and hero 4 black ? pricewise in the UK its £40 difference. from what I have see, researched the only differences are is that the silver records 4k at 15fps whereas the balck records 4k at 30fps, and the silver has the touchscreen but the black does not. have I missed anything ? or any other differences with regards to spec ? thanks
Well, is there a Hero 3 Black Edition? That's what you said. "I was so disappointed for that the GoPro Hero 3 Black didn't have the touch screen". I don't know. Just wondering :)
I have the first gopro hero and I plan on purchasing the gopro hero 4 silver. Is the housing That comes with this model waterproof?
LOL thanks for this vid. I could NOT get the camera unmounted from the packaging until I watched your vid. Thanks so much. Also watched the rest of the video; going to look at more of yours.
The night quality video and night timelapse is the same that 4 black? there's a quality difference?
Is the black's performance better? I have no budget. I just want the best gopro possible
My Gopro 4 silver has been having problems with the touch screen. Did you fix the problem with yours and if so, how?
I know this is noobish but, when you turned it on and off, can it pause and go straight back to the video??
the screen comes locked so you have to swipe the tab on the far left of the screen out and then hold down the lock
One of the best unboxing ive seen. Very detailed! Did you say that the black version has prores as a codec for 4k?? Thats awesome! Pls confirm :) thanks
In tech specs on official site it says that it's h.264 for all video files
Denis Agenorov yes I understand its h.264 but is it MOV or Mp4? I'm hoping MOV format.
Kj Misael David if you stick to official tech specs, it's mp4 after all. See here: shop.gopro.com/Marketing/cameras/hero4-black/CHDHX-401-master.html - in 'Video Format' section
The Hero 3 and 4 look to be the same....all messed up! I love my 3+ Black Edition. Looks like you will have to wait for the Hero 4+ to have a normal working camera again. Glad I am happy and keeping my 3+ Black Edition. :)
I have a question... does the memory card come with the GoPro because I am thinking about getting one
battery consumption comparisons !!! that will be the the thing for choosing betwin the black and the silver
Hello, thinking on getting this on Christmas and I got questions, since I never had one of this my first time on buying one.
Do I really need to cover the camera or use the housing for it to be waterproof? And the storage of the camera like is it 16GB/32GB(Without MicroSD) or I really need to buy a microSD? Thanks!
yes. You do need to put it inside the housing and buy your own microSD card.
I would like peoples opinion, when in cycling on my road bike, my GoPro is on my helmet, should i put the waterproof case on in case i crash or it rains?
Sorry if this question may seem stupid but what does 2.7K video at 30 frames per second mean? I'm totally lost here.
Will you be able to turn on or off the lcd screen while inside the standard housing? Or do you need to take out the camera from the housing to turn it on or off?
I got the Silver and the LCD is all black. And after a few seconds it freezes. Changing it tomorrow.
Is there a warrenty for the camera? like if damaged? because i cracked my screen on the Hero 4 Silver and was wondering if i can send it some where to get it fixed for free or not.
Are those minimal accessories that brings Hero 4 Silver?
THe reason that the Black has no screen is that it becomes very warm when shooting in 4K at 30 fps. According to GoPro, it would cause the screen to malfunction. You can also still get a BakPak screen for the Black.
i was planning to get the 3+Black w/remote but hero4 silver LCD is tempting (without remote). this would be my 1st gopro just want to know your thoughts on this. thank you
Honestly get the hero 4 black. Later in life you will want to do really good slow motion effects and get the best quality. Why have decent quality when u can have the best. Go big or go home. You will later want the better camera. Trust me
Can you connect this to your phone to control it ? I'm looking into to buying a GoPro
They have a go pro app that lets you control it
You can buy a wifi remote, it has a shutter button and a power button, as well as a small screen that mirrors the screen on the camera
Btw, I mean the small screen in the front, not the one in the back that shows what the GoPro sees
There is also something called Removu, it's a screen (not sold by GoPro) and I don't have one, but it's pretty much a screen that shows what the GoPro sees, as well as a shutter and power button
You can also get the GoPro app, it allows you to assess the settings, screen, buttons, and stored videos and pictures on your GoPro
I have the Hero 3+, with the LED Screen, but I prefer to watch my videos on the GoPro app
You should definitely get a GoPro, but if you drop it in water without a case on for even a second, it's pretty much dead right away, but if you have its case on, it can survive basically anything
I hope this helps you with your decision
thanks Mattmontan11 that helped alot
*Near Cyber Monday Shop Gopro Hero 4 Discount Price: **Top-goprohero4.blogspot.com** .* ##!!!!!!######
+Andrew Jihad thanks I didn't know that, I wanted the silver for the screen but now I want the black
How solved the problem of touch screen not working in Hero 4 silver which happened here in the video? I'm thinking to get one that's why i want to know what to do if something same happens with me too.
would this be a good vlogging and sea diving videos?
+Eli Nathan FUCK YEAH :D
Yep
For sea diving you should get a special lens it makes the colors underwater better and more clear
Thanks for sharing is this camera really only for sports can it be mounted in my car to film while I'm driving.
Yeah, plenty of people mount it in their vehicles to do timelapses of road trips and what not.
I probably wouldn't use it as a replacement for a dashcam, but for a roadtrip timelapse it's cool to take photos every few seconds and then compile them into a video to show the whole trip.

im about to buy the Gopro Hero 4 Silver, and I've seen many reviews where people complain about the camera constantly freezing, and also problems with the LCD not responding of just completely not working. Please can you tell me if these problems have been solved, and if you think its still a good buy, even with the changes camera giving trouble.
Yeah it's solved u just need to update the GoPro
I have a gopro hero 4 silver and it has no problems at all !
It could be a problem if you order it online and something happens with the box I'm guessing
Did you get the touch screen to work?
when is the comparison video coming I'm on the fence on what one to get
Is the SD card included in the box? or is needed to buy it separately??
Is this still waterproof just not able to use the touch screen underwater?
Hey man what kind of watch are you wearing? Does it come with that carbon looking strap?
That is a pebble watch steel. You can buy the strap with it.
Why would you not play the gopro in 4k all the time ? Does it take down the battery life
Are you going to buy the hero 4 session?
Is it worth it to buy hero4 now?
i have a gorpo hero 2, should i buy the 4 silver or wait for a 4+?????
You have gotten it, Kyle! :( I'm jealous.
Anyway, honest question GoPro Tips and Tricks , would you be able to give a bit of tips between requiring the new HERO4 (Silver/Black) or just the HERO3+ Silver/Black? More of like a "Do You Really Need A HERO4" kind of tips.
It is too late to buy the Hero4 Silver Edition ?
Should I save money for Hero5 even if its release date isn't announced ?
I had Hero3 Silver Edition, just selled it.
Thanks
I think you should just get the hero for silver because when the five ever comes out it's going to be probably twice as much as the four as it is now if you wait a few months after that the price will go down also when the price does go down you can also get it even cheaper off Groupon.com:) my honesty
What is the brand and model of the watch that you're wearing?
So , the touchscreen was broken ? or you did'nt knew how to use it ?
thanks for the unboxing video, it verified that i have a defective unit. I just unboxed mines the lcd screen doesn't display anything the lens sees other than the numbers on the top and bottom of the screen, also it freezes up after pressing the menu button, after that the touchscreen or buttons don't work.
your touchscreen is defective because mines does respond, again after selecting something from the options it freezes. POS!!
Just got mine, so hyped
Really like the watch
It may sound strange, but I hate how the her4 silver has the same colour 4 on the front, it's not silver like previous generations
Is it the same colour??
Matthew Bishop Yeah its weird
Have a look at my videos with my Hero4 Silver on my channel, they're good
Ooooh, so thats why I was confused with the pictures. Wonder why they did that, stupid!
What do u prefer the hero 4 black or silver
should you use protune and could you please make a video on how to edit it. please it would help alot
would this be a great birthday present for my boyfriend?
+Marina Prado i might be late, but my GF got me one for my birthday and i was super excited, so i think it would be a great gift, especially if he has a beloved car he likes taking pics of. :D goodluck!
dam thought it comes with the 3 way pivot arm as in the actual pole -.-
so the LCD waterproof door doesn't let you go 131 ft underwater?
Of course nope
+Zachary Michaud dang, how far under?
Hello, I just unboxed my silver 4 as well and my touchscreen had the same issue as yours in the video. How did you solved it? I will appreciate a bunch your response.
touch the screen for 2 seconds with your finger stationary and it'll unlock and then you can use the swipe and touch functions

Appreciate the info.
What was/is the problem with your touch screen? Does it work by now?
i have a gopro hero 3 white edition, but i am looking into getting a hero 4 also. would the sliver or the black be better?
Silver
just bought this bad boy :) really nice video lots of great infos thk
Do you know can i buy that plastic cover top of the camera somewhere?
The reason they didn't include a screen on the Hero4 Black is because of the heat it produced. It got to the point where it got too hot and destroyed the camera. Plus I think if they had a screen on it, then no one would buy the Silver.
I am thinking of getting a GoPro hero 4 session but when I watched this video, I am now not sure what to get, I chose the session bec. It was cheaper but is the silver worth the it
The only thing that I can recommend is that the GoPro session has no screen and can't be just mounted on the chest or head, on the other hand the GoPro hero 4 silver can be mounted on your chest and head ect.... But also another great thing about the silver and not the session is that the silver has a screen for viewing the stuff you are videoing
i just picked one up, the screens real responsive. must of been a bugger broo
nice review!! I just got mine Today and actually I was thinking the same than you till the shop seller told me about the 4K feature!! even only 15fps is still awesome to have it on the silver with lcd touch integrated! going on vacations with it in 2 days, let's see how it works and the videos I get! :)
