GoPro Hero 11

The GoPro Hero 11 Black is here – we've tested it, and this is what we think.

The GoPro Hero 11 Black is in many ways the ultimate in incremental evolution. That said, there’s certainly an argument that gentle upgrades ruffle fewer feathers, and ease of use has - if anything - been improved to widen the GoPro Hero 11 Black’s appeal - it’s easy enough for anyone to use, tech-savvy or not. As an upgrade for existing GoPro Hero 10 Black owners it’s an unlikely shout - it’s not that much better - but as an upgrade for earlier model owners it’s a good one to go for. GoPro have taken this fact a logical step further in the GoPro Hero 11 Black, grading the settings into ‘easy’ (the default when you power the unit on), and ‘Pro’, which allows you to unlock presets that let you choose the best settings for your shot (Standard, Activity, Cinematic, Slo-Mo and more), plus the ability to fine-tune all modes, settings and features. Indeed, apart from the new ‘11’ gracing the side of the unit, the two are indistinguishable - the only visual difference being that the GoPro Hero 11 Black’s rear LED appears to be white when off, rather than the darker grey/black of the GoPro Hero 10 Black - not much of a big deal. There are some limits on the tool at the moment (no burst or 360 for example), but as an easy way to enjoy an algorithmically-curated set of video moments it’s no bad idea - indeed, Google’s Photos already does a similar job on Android devices, as does Apple with the iPhone’s Memories feature. There are a host of benefits to having a new sensor under the hood, not least that the colour palette is considerably boosted - up to 10-bit. GoPro are calling this extended battery life ‘Enduro’, and as it has been achieved without physically increasing the battery capacity, there must have been some significant optimisations possible over the older software, unless it’s all down to underclocking that new sensor. The first key change is a new sensor, which is upgraded to a 1/1.9” Sensor. Speaking of which, the new battery (which is rated identically), has a small change - sporting a white surround rather than the GoPro Hero 10 Black’s blue.

A new 8:7 sensor and more powerful software plus added simplicity make GoPro's Hero 11 Black a champion action cam.

The Hero 10 Black is still a great package for anyone who doesn't need an 8:7 sensor, and it's still on sale alongside the 11 Black. The Hero 11 Black upgrades the 23.6MP sensor introduced on the Hero 9 Black, boosting it to a higher 27MP resolution, with a 1/1.9-inch size, and blowing it up to an 8:7 aspect ratio. The Hero 11 Black's 8:7 aspect ratio is also a standout highlight for content creators. The Hero 11 Black improves heat management when compared to last year's Hero 10 Black, especially when the camera launched. Given the fact battery life was a weak point of the Hero 10 Black, the new battery does help things along, but it isn't quite a game changer. But how does it stack up to the DJI Osmo Action 3, and is the Hero 11 Black a worthy upgrade if you're coming from a The new GoPro Hero 11 Black also brings back excellent connections too. Swipe up to pull up the media on your memory card, and pull down to access the camera’s settings. We have to say, the DJI mounting system on the Action 2 and 3, which combines magnets and clamps is quicker and easier in a pinch. You can't talk about GoPro without mentioning the brand's HyperSmooth stabilization, and for version 5.0, GoPro's introduced 360º Horizon Locking at up to 5.3K for the first time in a Hero Black camera.

Other than insignia on the Hero 11 Black's side, the latest GoPro looks identical to last year's model.

The Hero 11 Mini is $300/$400 respectively. Nearly a year after the GoPro Hero 10 was announced we get the next flagship action cameras from the maker – the GoPro Hero 11 and Hero 11 Mini. The design on Hero 11 is carried over from last year’s model down to the dimensions and black color.

Good things often come in threes. Case in point is the trio of GoPro Hero11 Black cameras – each ready to capture your travels in rich and vibrant detail.

Users with a GoPro subscription (AU$69.00/yr) can automatically backup photos and videos at the “original source quality” to the cloud simply by plugging the camera into charge.

The latest GoPro Hero 11 Black has just dropped and the big question everyone is asking is just how much better than last year's GoPro Hero 10 Black can it be? The answer is very complicated, as it has lots of improvements, but I would say “a subtle ...

The additional features to make it easier for new users to pick one up and start using it straight away with no prior knowledge are extremely well thought out and implemented while the hardware updates are enough to make you want to upgrade if you have an 8 or 9 but might not be enough if you currently use a 10. It’s really simple to jump into settings and get full control of the details via “Pro Mode” but as a solution for the novice, it’s really clever. I use the media mod pretty exclusively when I need to change the battery or SD card on a shoot, I need to unplug the mic I have plugged in, unscrew the device from the tripod, close the feet grips into the camera then take the camera out of the media mod. GoPro are extremely excited about a new “Automatic Highlight Videos” feature in the Quik App when your footage is uploaded to the cloud, and with good reason, it’s got really clever AI that takes your videos and turns them into a really interesting edit ready-made to upload to your social channels. For example, I think if you had a GoPro 8 or 9 they are very comparable, but then the jump to the 10 was extremely significant with the introduction of the front screen and the new G2 chip. This and the brilliant HyperSmooth stabilization feature which is now at 5.0 really make the accessories like gimbals a thing of the past as it’s all built into the camera.

For 15 years the team at GoPro have worked hard on improving the world's most popular action cam. Sometimes the differences between cameras are drastically ...
