The GoPro Hero 11 and Hero 11 Mini are the company’s newest flagship action cameras, arriving over a year after the GoPro Hero 10 was unveiled. Hero 11’s design is identical to that of the model from the previous year, right down to the size and colour. The new Hero 11 Mini variant lacks the two LCD panels but has the same specifications as the original model in a smaller package (133 grammes). The Quik app from GoPro is your only option for most controls.
The 1/1.9″ size camera sensor is shared across the new 11 series and is now bumped up to 27MP resolution. It also records full 10-bit colors. You can shoot at up to 5.3K resolution for videos at 60fps or 4K at 120fps. The new FullFrame shooting mode lets users capture 8:7 content while HyperView mode lets you record in the traditional 16:9 aspects.
Vehicle Lights, Star Trails and Light Paint are the other new video modes for low-light scenarios. GoPro’s signature HyperSmooth software stabilization now brings an AutoBoost feature that deals with even the shakiest of videos. Automatic highlight videos compiles your most recent videos in a neatly laid-out manner. The feature is also available for owners of older GoPro cameras via the GoPro subscription service.
GoPro Hero 11 comes with the Enduro battery as standard which was an optional accessory on the 10th gen Hero. Hero 11’s box contents also include a carrying case, adhesive mounts, a mounting buckle with a thumb screw, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SD card and a USB-C cable. The camera is also waterproof at up to 10 meters
Without a GoPro membership, the GoPro Hero 11 Black starts at $399, while the standard price is $500. Each Hero 11 Mini costs $300 or $400. On the corporate website, open sales for the Hero 11 Black began today, while the Mini variant is anticipated to follow on October 25.
