I'd been looking at investing in an action cam for my upcoming trip and one of my subscriptions (Wiltshire Man - awesome outdoorsy videos if that's your thing) sold me on the "Poor mans GoPro", called the SJ4000. So my dear parents bought me one for my birthday - which is in three weeks so I'm not allowed to play with it until then. I'll let you know how it performs. But thanks for the detailed look at it. Seems this is the way forward.
You really convinced me to get one. I 'm traveling next week and on my last trip to Mexico I missed to take one . On this trip I will not miss the chance to take one with me. THANK YOU!!.. You are awsome! Greetings from Ushuaia (The ass of the world!)
This was really helpful. I hesitated between normal camera and gopro and decided to purchase a gopro, because it is small and video quality is very good.
I searched 'gopro' on youtube to see what it has on them- your channel and this vid comes up- I bought the black edition (was on special offer) watching few of your vids- got me into the travel bug again- wanna go to peru- I love anchient civilizations. Saving up now- thakyou- Your advice and vlogs are great. yes- gopros are amazing- n yes I Need more accessories!!!lol
I've just bought the GoPro Hero 4 Silver and I was worried at spending so much money.. After watching this video I feel so much better about spending that much for my travels around Australia! Thank you Psychotraveller 😃
Your video is extraordinarily good. I've been contemplating acquiring a Go Pro for quite some time now but preferred to use my expensive Nikon DSLRs since I could shoot video. Your excellent video and bubbly personality sold me on the idea to get a Go Pro Hero4 so that I could shoot videos of my upcoming 6,000 mile AMTRAK Train trip from Chicago to Seattle-San Francisco and returning to Chicago via the Rockies. Keep it up.
just got mine a few days ago and i didn't know you can view your photos in the go pro itself! thanks for that haha and the time lapse as well, haven't discovered that feature yet
I'm also thinking of getting this go pro, I'm so excited!! I also want to use it for traveling, but do you think it's necessary or handy to have an additional battery for if you're traveling, or do you do well without it?
Dear Aly, I bought my first GoPro (HERO4 Silver) last Sunday based on your review and recommendations, thanks a lot for the advice, absolutely looooove your channel, I've been planing a RTW trip for a while and my first stop is NZ so your videos have been helpful on things to do. Keep up the awesome job!!!
+Voylin's life Because most of the time when you'll be using it in the case, sound won't be that important. Such as scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding etc. Most people would add music to these videos. When filming a gig or a review etc where sound is important, such as above you won't need the case so the audio will be fine :-)
I'm will buy a GoPro for my Travels, but not yet sure if it will be the Hero3+ silver or the Hero4 silver. Any advice...I liked the phone app you showed with the 4, I guess the 3 doesn't have that...
Does this video also come with £280 I'll need to buy it?;) no for real this really made me want to get this for when I go to Australia, but unfortunately I think I'll just have to deal with the panorama setting on my iPod for now
How many GB micro SSD do you recommend for me to buy? The price does not matter to much since I work in a store where I get a good amount of discount, I have considered 32GB Kingston Class 10 Micro SSD..
What do you use to edit your videos? I used my GoPro (same as yours) to film a couple of videos and used windows video editor and in the end it came out looking horrible. Any tips?
Bumped into your channel 'cos I'm starting a youtube channel and travelling at the same time. I was tossing between buying a vlogging camera, which isn't ideal for intense adventures, or buying a go pro instead which serves both. Now that I see the quality for just plain videos, that's it, I'm buying one. Hahaha
After choices, and countless youtube videos I finally got a go pro 4 and I still think its the best one out there. And yes I agree on situations where I wish I had a gopro or wish I recorded videos. Thank you for your videos, it really inspire me to venture into travel videos as I do travel already anyways. please come by and say hi to me on my channel.
AHHH my gopro came in last night! It's such a cool fucking little thing. There's so many cool things you can do with it. I would absolutely recommend you get one if you're gonna start your travels soon. Love your videos PsychoTraveller xo
First video I watched and I loved it !! You're awesome haha
Hey there

Ohh man!! I love that wide angle view !!!
Very informative vid
I love your review of this camera! You have definitely sold me on this product. I'm buying without regrets!
Just found your channel! Your great! Keep it up!

This has helped so much! Thanks for such a great video!
Thank you so much, super helpful. Best GoPro review I have seen yet!

Tilly Snell No problem! They are definitely worth the investment! You'll capture some amazing memories and you won't regret it!
OMG I really didn't want to get one for my trip to Australia but because of you right now I need this in my life 😂
I love the way you explained it. Keep up!

Hi I recently bought a gopro after watching your vid! I was wondering what settings you use generally. Thanks :D
just got mine a few days ago and i didn't know you can view your photos in the go pro itself! thanks for that haha and the time lapse as well, haven't discovered that feature yet
I'm also thinking of getting this go pro, I'm so excited!! I also want to use it for traveling, but do you think it's necessary or handy to have an additional battery for if you're traveling, or do you do well without it?
Yeah the one second time lapse is nice
You are really funny. I dig your videos and your sense of humour :)

i go backpacking with my nikon coolpix aw120 and i would also recommend that. it takes fantastic photos and videos!
How does the go pro sound with the water proof case onit? you didn't talk during the recordings while on the water so xs
Sounds like shit m8
yeah I guessed as much :/ why can't they make a action cam that can support the second most important thing about video making, SOUND :/
+Voylin's life Because most of the time when you'll be using it in the case, sound won't be that important. Such as scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding etc. Most people would add music to these videos.

What is the sound like with the waterproof housing on? It must be covering the mic so can you still talk to camera?
you can get an hero 3+ black or had the same specs but doesn't have a screen but lts cheaper
how can you control the go pro with bluetooth ?=)
Thanks for sharing!
How many GB micro SSD do you recommend for me to buy? The price does not matter to much since I work in a store where I get a good amount of discount, I have considered 32GB Kingston Class 10 Micro SSD..
Daniel San Sounds like a good one! Mine is a 32GB, however I fill it very quickly! Gives you a good 2 hours of recording space though :)
Okay, that sound good enough, then I will just buy two!
Thanks for the help. :-)
where in Indonesa did you go swimming or diving
Awesome video thanks!!
Just a quick question what was that crackling noise during the diving?
What do you use to edit your videos? I used my GoPro (same as yours) to film a couple of videos and used windows video editor and in the end it came out looking horrible. Any tips?
