A Flight Video Comparison of a GoPro 4 vs. a GoPro 3+ Black

I got a GoPro 4 and after seeing some videos with it wasn't so sure i was getting anything better than my GoPro 3+ Black was doing.
So I mounted a '4' on one wing and a '3+' on the other wing and made a split screen video to compare the video from the two cameras.

Check out the video and see if you can tell which camera was on which wing

Thanks for doing this comparison. I've been wondering about the video quality difference too. I am quite happy to keep using my GoPro 3+

I thought the right was the 4 assuming the better color quality would be the new technology. I think I will stick with my 3 for now. Excellent pilot report.

An example of where the 4 does show better sharness / resolution that the 3+ is at 1:23 into the video. Be sure to change to 1080p on YouTube once of the video is playing.
But overall, i was expecting more out of it...
