HERO4 Black

I had 4 black many years ago. At the time it was a great cam. But it's very shaky, no image stabilization. All the cool videos from that era either had gigantic gimbals or heavy editing to not look like a jumbled mess. It's dated, unfortunately.

I had a GoPro 4 Hero Black, and was blown away by my guides photos of the same turtle with his 13 Hero Black. If you’re in the UK I got one from Argos for £250. The colour is white, but I don’t think the fish will care

It will work. All depends on your personal definition of "good images." Get the 6 and an underwater case and shoot away. Or just turn on video and take screen grabs. I have several underwater cameras and still use a GP4 on my airplane. Each iteration of GP adds features, so moving to 7 or 11 will be better. But the 6 will take decent images. All depends on your budget and what is "good" enough for you.

Gopro hero 4k. The cheapest no nonsense go pto

From personal experience I can say the following. Any normal version of GoPro will do as a basic camera for selfie shooting. Cameras like GoPro Hero 4K or Hero 11 mini. Great for shooting from a helmet (on the helmet, under the visor or on the side). Regarding the microphone, it is better to use a special helmet-headset with an adapter for internal mounting, for motocross helmets.When you have a microphone in your helmet, you can be heard better and there is less wind noise.

The GoPro Hero 4k is relatively cheap compared to flagship action cams, GoPro's Quik app is pretty decent for smartphone connectivity, and it's also fairly durable. I know that Insta360 makes a smaller, cheaper camera as well, but I believe it's more costly.

My guess is the Hero 4K will go the way of the White , Silver, and other attempts at an "entry level" camera: It will die and never be seen again. (I'd include the Session in that list, but that wasn't technically meant as an entry-level camera even though it also suffered the same fate). GoPro didn't mention Hero 4K sales in their earnings calls, and they did mention their revenue was largely from the flagship (Hero 13). That has me thinking the Hero 4K was a dud. I'd be surprised if they introduce a newer model of it.
