Hi All,

i never own any go pro before. need advise. if i use it for diving, riding and record some flying scenery. does the fps in silver enof for these sports under 4k 15fps, or 2.7k 30fps?

coz i prefer with screen. and im not sure if black edition with add on screen. will it cost lot more and higher risk with extended dive casing.

besides, does the resolution makes lot quality different?

Thanks
Regards

For me, frame rates is very important, anything under 24fps is unacceptable.

Get the silver.
2.7k at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps is far enough for your needs.
The screen will benefit you more.

Getting the black plus the screen add on will only make it more expensive and reduce its battery life which btw is way shorter than what you would expect.

black got 4k with 30fps which is decent, but tbh 4k tech is still too early. even most monitor can do 30fps on 4k, kinda not worth. 1080 + 60 or more fps better in my opinion.
