GoPro HERO11 Black - Waterproof Action Camera With 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

1) Hero 11 BlackThe build quality is superb. There are too many settings to go into here, suffice to say that they cover picture quality, frame rate, slow motion, image stabilisation, scheduled recording, interval recording and much more.Key features are:- waterproof to 10 metres- video up to 5k at 60fps- excellent image stabilisation- voice control- GPS- remote control via Quik app (free)- front and back screens (the front screen can be configured to show the image being recorded, the current settings or nothing at all).Points to note: The waterproof door to the compartment containing the battery and micro-sd card slot is extremely difficult to open at first use, but becomes a little easier in use. The camera can become quite hot in long use, however it will cut out to protect itself if it becomes too hot. The source of the heat appears to be the battery. I ran it for 2 hours 52 minutes continuously using the Volta (see below) without a battery installed.(2) Media ModThis wraps round the GoPro and add front and back directional microphones, which have a removable foam wind baffle. On the outside of the casing are two cold shoes for holding accessories such as lights. The casing also has has connections for an external mic, usb c (for power or charging the GoPros battery) and a mini-hdmi output port for connecting to an external display (cable not included). There is a gap in the bottom of the casing which allows the fingers on the bottom of the GoPro to be extended. Finally the GoPro’s shutter and mode buttons are replicated on the Media Mod. Connecting the Media Mod adds extra items to the GoPro’s settings. Something that I haven’t seen mentioned in reviews and isn’t mentioned in the manuals is that connecting the Media Mod adds a microphone level display to the screen when recording video. NB the Media Mod is not waterproof. Full details of the use of the Media Mod can be found on the GoPro website.(3) Light ModThis is a light with 3 levels plus strobe. It is charged via USB C. It has a diffuser that can be added to give a warmer light. NB the Light Mod is not waterproof.(4) VoltaThis is a holding stick which opens out into a small tripod. It contains a large rechargeable battery which will power the GoPro for 2 hours and 52 minutes (my test) and can be used separately or in conjunction with the Enduro battery. It is charged via USB C and powers the GoPro via a tethered USB C lead. It can be used to control the GoPro either via the USB C connection or via Bluetooth. It has shutter and mode buttons. It has a three fingered connector on the top and a pop-out two finger connector on the side. It has a standard female screw connector on the bottom which can be attached to a tripod. It has a lanyard connected to the bottom. NB Volta is not waterproof.(5) Other ItemsThere are a number of other items, which are included with one or other of the above when sold separately.an Enduro battery. This runs the GoPro for 1 hour 20 minutes (my test)two thumb screws two very short USB A to USB C leadsa curved adhesive backed shoetwo different three-fingered mounting bucklesa USB C pass through door. This is required to allow an external USB C power source (e.g the Volta) to be connected.a 2-Finger to cold shoe adapter(6) A CaseThe case is semi-rigid with all the components stored on two tiers. One small point of criticism is the cardboard dividers.NOT Included:A micro-sd card. Recommended cards can be found on the GoPro website.A charger. Any standard charger can be used.Manuals, but they are all available online.The cost for the kit was £599. At the time of writing the cost of buying the components separately is £692.99.

I lost my other GoPro which is now floating somewhere in the Atlantic.The Mini is a great bit of kit and a cheaper option. Only downside is I miss the red screen to line up the camera and sometimes forget to use my phone App to do this. You really need a remote as well as battery life needs to preserved as you can’t hear the bleep if it’s on your helmet.The quality is superb for such a small unit

Before buying an 11 Mini, I'd read on the internet about issues with the camera freezing and becoming unresponsive. When you feel you really want something there is a tendency to dismiss this kind of thing as isolated occurances etc. and go ahead with your purchase. So less than a month after purchase here I am with an unresponsive Hero 11 Mini. It will not switch on. One evening I fully charged the camera for use the next day. On that next day it would not power up. I connected it to a charger and after a while manged to get the GoPro Quik app to connect. It showed the battery at 1%. Somehow, while switched off, the Mini flattened it's battery over night. From that point on opertion of the camera by it's buttons was hit and miss. I tried a factory reset and manually reinstalling firmware but there was no improvement. So at the time of writing the 11 Mini will not switch on at all. This is the first electronic item I've bought since 1999 that I will have to return to Amazon as faulty. Edit: Because returns and refunds are so easy with Amazon, I took a chance with getting another 11 Mini. So far the replacement one has been perfectly fine. Edit number 2... the replacement camera has now also started behaving in the same way, huge issues with not swtiching on etc. Junk product, avoid!

The media could not be loaded. Highlights:➔ Great Video Quality: The HERO11 Black captures stunning footage—I shot everything from scenic beach views to action-packed adventures, and it all looked professional.➔ All-in-One Convenience: The Creator Edition came with everything I needed. The Volta grip was especially handy for holding steady shots and doubling as a tripod for group videos.➔ Long Battery Life: The external battery kept me going all day, so I never missed a moment.Things to Consider:➔ Flash Cover Issues: The flash cover falls off far too easily. I nearly lost mine a couple of times, so you’ll want to keep an eye on it.➔ Size: Compared to similar products from DJI, this setup is much bulkier, which makes it less travel-friendly.➔ Overheats: I noticed it got a bit warm after long recordings, especially in the midday sun, so I had to give it breaks.➔ A Bit Complicated: It took me a while to figure out all the settings, but once I did, the results were worth it.➔ Pricey: It’s not cheap, but the quality and features made it worth the splurge for a big holiday.I bought this to take videos on my holiday and share them with my family, and it did not disappoint for capturing memories. From hikes to snorkelling to dinners, the GoPro handled it all with impressive quality. However, the bulkier size and fiddly flash cover are frustrating, especially compared to smaller, more portable options like those from DJI. If you prioritise video quality and battery life over size, it’s still a solid choice!

Works wonders, I’ve had multiple GoPros in the past and it’s exactly what you would expect from this company, easy to use and awesome quality videos, built well, good footage and easy to connect to your phone and download footage on the go

Good little camera, battery could be better but external power pack does the trick

I use mine mounted upside down on my bike handlebars, with a battery pack connected, which will give me hours and hours of recorded footage at 2.7k. The quality is beyond adequate for my needs and I am very happy with it. I also use helmet and hat mounts from time to time. I am not using it currently to make professional footage, so I'm not missing the screen.I am happy at the price I got it.
