For those wanting to buy the GoPro Hero 5 Black , can look at Qoo10 sia.. with the $499 pricing, dunno if can offset $50 with the Paypal coupon... If can, then $449, is one of the better price out there sia

Im using feiyu tech spg. Compatible with smartphones like iPhone 7 plus as well as action cameras like gopro because it uses a flat clamp so not limited to a specific camera. I think it should fit gopro hero 5 (i got a 3+). Got if off aliexpress. Blazing fast DHL shipping. Received it within 24 hrs. US$259 after US$20 off discount. It's about $360 sgd.

Mind sharing which vendor you bought from?

Hi,

Need some advices.

Is there really a lot of diff in video quality between Hero 5 and Hero 4 silver?

I will only use it twice a year during my diving trip so wondering if I should invest in a 4 Silver(cos of back LCD) or a Hero 5 with 4K video?

Thanks.

Hero 4 silver is using Ambarella A7 chipset not capable of 4K 30FPS
Hero 4 black is using A9 chipset capable of 4K 30FPS
Hero 5 black is using A12 which is 2xA7 and this is cheaper than A9 and not as advance as A9.

This is why you see Hero 5 is cheaper than Hero 4 black.

My suggestion get hero 4 black or Hero 5. Why invest in Hero 4 silver unless you are paying it at $200

But Hero 4 black has no LCD thus don't know what and where am I shooting at.

So your call is to get Hero 5?

What about other competitor brand? I need those red filter for diving as a lot of competitor brand does not have those and none is compatible with GoPro accessories..

Am using the same card, no problems. A friend of mine who bought the same card experienced the same issue as you, went down to distro to change a new card and everything was resolved.

Get a second hand 4 silver. Since using only twice a year. Also consider if your editing setup can support 4k decently else you are better off shooting fhd.
