What we like about GoXtreme Black Hawk Plus 4K

  • Affordable budget-friendly price point compared to high-end competitors
  • Delivers sharp and great quality footage in native 4K at up to 60fps
  • Comes with a wide range of useful in-box accessories and mounts
  • Compatible with standard GoPro mounting systems and accessories
  • Features a clear rear display screen helpful for framing shots
  • Includes Enhanced Image Stabilization for smoother action videos
  • Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for smartphone app operation
  • Deep waterproof protection up to 60 metres when using the included case

What we don't like about GoXtreme Black Hawk Plus 4K

  • Short continuous battery life lasting only about 45 to 90 minutes
  • On-board microphone delivers poor, muffled, or quiet sound quality
  • The camera unit itself is not natively waterproof without its external case
  • The interface and button navigation system can feel fiddly and unintuitive
  • Does not feature a responsive modern touch screen interface
  • Noticeable chromatic aberration and barrel distortion in high-contrast environments
  • App limitations restrict downloading or viewing full 4K files directly over Wi-Fi

Verdict

The GoXtreme Black Hawk+ 4K is a high-performance action camera that records native 4K video at 60fps and captures 14MP still images with a Sony sensor and a 170° ultra-wide-angle lens. Key features include a 2-inch (5cm) LCD display, Enhanced Image Stabilisation (EIS) for smooth footage, and built-in WiFi for remote control and social sharing. Its main advantages are the high-quality real 4K resolution, an included waterproof housing effective up to 60m, and a comprehensive bundle of mounting accessories. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively short battery life of approximately 45–60 minutes, poor internal audio quality, and a lack of a touchscreen interface.
