New Night Effects
HERO11 Black features three new Time Lapse modes that let you get creative after dark. Star Trails uses the Earth’s rotation and stars to capture beautiful light trails across the night sky. Light Painting lets you create brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Vehicle Light Trails uses night-time traffic to record stunning light trail footage.
Power Tools
Nail shots the easy way with Power Tools. HindSight captures up to 30 seconds of footage before you start recording—even if you press the shutter too late, you’ll still get the shot. There’s also Scheduled Capture, which lets you set your GoPro to turn itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance, and Duration Capture, which makes it easy to capture video clips from 15 seconds to 3 hours long.
Webcam + Live Streaming
Use the HERO11 Black as an ultra versatile webcam or live stream your next activity as you vlog with buttery HyperSmooth video stabilization and sharp resolution.
Rugged + Waterproof to 33ft (10m)
Completely waterproof and as tough as ever, HERO11 Black is versatile enough for any adventure. It’s built to take a beating and keep going, whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (to depths of 33ft/10m). The durable and scratch-resistant lens cover adds even more protection and can be easily replaced if needed.

Good camera, I use it while cycling. Image is super stable, even when I’m out of the saddle moving around going up hills the image is like I’m stood still. Using it for cycling I like the gps as well for showing speed and mapping, don’t get why they took gps off the new models.
Works great but I found GoPro Quik app impossible to download onto my brand new Android phone. I gave up and downloaded upgrade onto my pc and transferred to the SD card. It works perfectly without the software, and I’m very pleased with the GoPro 11.
It should be noted that I have never seen the Mini advertised as a walking cam, in fact it appears designed to be a small action cam, used to take short duration fast action videos. Obviously a walking cam needs to record over longer periods (2-3 hours in my case) and is moving in a more sedentary manner. This slower movement may be why I had overheating problems with the Mini, since fast action/movement may generate more airflow over the cam helping cool it. In my case, trying to record a walking video using 4K @ 60fps with surrounding ambient temperature 25-30 deg C, resulted in the Mini stating it was too hot and shutting down after ~10mins. However, when I lowered the resolution, i.e. using 2.7K @ 60fps, the overheating issue was completely eliminated. That said, if you are after 4K walking videos, this may not be the camera for you.
Another issue is that the Mini does not have a removeable battery, so you cannot switch to a fresh battery when it is getting low on power. With the 2.7K @ 60fps settings I get 75-80mins of record time. You can increase the recording life by bringing along a power pack and plugging it in to the Mini when needed – although obviously you now have another device wired to the cam.
Finally, in terms of the footage obtained – It is brilliant, absolutely no complaints. Even though I am only using 2.7K the footage is crisp and detailed, and the image stabilization is fantastic.
1) Hero 11 Black
The 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 Mod
This 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 Mod
This 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) Volta
This 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 Items
There 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 leads
a curved adhesive backed shoe
two different three-fingered mounting buckles
a 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 Case
The 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.
