Stiftung WarentestCoolsein ist nicht alles - Action-CamcorderReleaseJuly 2016

Expensive. For a hefty 465 euros, the action cam delivers satisfactory videos. It disappoints in low light, suffers from shake protection and backlight reflections. The device takes very good underwater pictures and good photos. The sound is not convincing; among other things, wind noise is distracting...

The GoPro Hero 4 Black is the only cam in the test with 4K video recording at 30 frames per second. It is still the best choice for film professionals.
