Gopro Hero 4 Black - Issues.

[CaptainFresh]

Well, Hello anyone who reads this.

Ok, i bought a Gopro hero 4 black edition, the memory card i have does not work apparently But that is not the problem... The problem is ( see attached photo )

This is the Preview screen. I like the Quality of the camera, Dont you?

Now, the memory card I tried is the one out of my hero 3 black, which worked fine. Apparently its old tech, so doesnt work properly with the new ones..

But when i did get it to work Briefly. In a 1 minute video, It appeared like the photo for atleast 20 seconds of it.

Now i am hoping this is just a memory card issue BUT that is what the Preview looks like the whole time.

I've read that some people have had this issue, and it looks fine when you watch a recording.


My Computer is more then up to the task of watching it and as you can see this was with the go pro app on my phone.

I will buy a new memory card tomorrow, and hopefully that solves my issue. if not im Screwed as i bought this From someone off gumtree "Brand new in sealed box" which it was but i Dont have a Reciept or any clue of when it was bought etc. so warranty could be an issue.


Basically does anyone else have experience in this problem? or any suggestions?

memory card is of high enough class to record the HD video? Class 10 or some such?

The memory card I tried using was the one from my hero 3. I'm hoping it's just the memory card being old and not up to the task.

The photo attached was actually without a memory card in, this is the Preview screen on the GoPro phone app.

Apparently some people have the same issue but when they record it turns out perfect. So hopefully this post turns out to be pointless and I'm just a noob who should have bought a memory card at the same time.
