Re: GoPro4 v GH4?
If you think a GH4 can do better than this, go for it:

Let us know your experience with M690. Now that DJI doesn't have GoPro mount in the Inspire1, I am wondering when GoPro will launch their own quadcopters. |

Re: GoPro4 v GH4?
From Wall St Journal, yesterday:
GoPro Inc. is developing its own line of consumer drones to expand from its core business of making wearable video cameras popular with surfers and other sports enthusiasts, according to people familiar with its plans. The company plans to start selling multirotor helicopters equipped with high-definition cameras late next year, aiming for a price tag between $500 and $1,000, according to these people.

Re: GoPro4 v GH4?
Talking about one camera verses another is always such a "religious" debate, add to that any discussion about which is the best multirotor and gimbal, and well, wars have been started over lessor issues..
The GoPro aerial footage from "Over the Tregor" was very nice but the image quality hardly compares favorably to the GH4 aerial of New Zealand. Sure we can debate whether the added quality of the aerial GH4 footage worth the additional expense, how difficult was it to acquire the GH4 aerial versus the aerial GoPro footage etc., but I think the right answer, as cliche as this might be, is the right setup is the one your willing to use. If your uneasy about flying $4000+ worth of stuff then your not likely going to get good shots no matter which camera you use. So like most technology purchases there's a lot of other things to consider that will probably make the right choice self evident. But if your just comparing GoPro aerial to GH4 aerial then I'd say that the GH4 footage is definitely worth the added expense. |

Re: GoPro4 v GH4?
I am fortunate to fly both cameras but in many cases the GH4 gear is to difficult to travel with and budgets do not pay for the risks involved.
When flying the GoPro 4 I use a modified unit. The fish eye lens is removed and replaced with a rectilinear lens that is about a 35mm. Amazing how un GoPro it appears. |

Re: GoPro4 v GH4?
Is that replacement lens one of gopro's accessories and can you do the replacement yourself?

But also, once you move beyond DJI there are multirotors available that in my opinion are more dependable, trustworthy and almost as easy to deploy with a GH4 as a Phantom with a GoPro. I have a Hero4 but have not changed the lens, also keep in mind that if you change the lens on a GoPro it might change the balance enough that it won't work with a lot of the small 3-axis gimbals. |
