The GoPro HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver now supports a number of high framerate options including a whopping 240fps at 720p with the latest firmware update.
HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver
Time lapse video mode - Capture Time Lapse videos automatically—no post-production needed. Showcase a sunrise, road trip or family gathering as a short, sharable video.
30/6 burst photo - Introducing a new way to never miss a moment. Capture 30 photos in 6 seconds—perfect for longer duration fast-action activities like surfing and snowboarding.
Auto rotate - Automatically adjusts capture orientation to right-side up when the camera is mounted upside down.
Add HiLight Tags during playback - Now you can mark key moments both while recording video and playing back content on the built-in touch display to quickly find highlights for easy editing and sharing. [HERO4 Black requires LCD Touch BacPac to utilize this feature]

I love how many options we're getting... but it's odd to me we have ALL this resolution and framerate control but still no exposure control!

So stoked for this..updated mine instantly.
2.7k60p is going to be my new default, go to mode for my GoPros.

My relationship with the Hero 4 Black is much more troublesome than it was with my Hero 3 Black.
Problems: Cannot get the preview to work on my iPod. Can get it to work on my Samsung tablet though. Also, the new icons are so TINY that I need a magnifying glass and a lot of light to be able to use them.
Advantages: 4K
It is a balancing act and so far, 4K is winning.

The post from GoPro is a little bit confusing if you don't look into the details. The Hero 4 Silver does not get the 2.7K 60 or 720p 240. Here are the details.
