At least until the GoPro Hero12 comes out.

Those looking for an even more immersive view should check out the Insta360 X3, which has a 1/2-inch image sensor and an equally impressive number of editing features.Īs someone who has been using action cameras for more than a decade, the GoPro Hero11 Black is the best I’ve ever used. The biggest tradeoff is that there’s no display, so you just turn the camera on, and edit things later. However, those of you who plan to use an action camera mounted to a helmet may prefer the upcoming GoPro Hero11 Mini, which has the same sensor as the standard model, but which is smaller and lighter. Undoubtedly, the GoPro11 Black is the best action camera overall (and, not surprisingly, the best GoPro). While it’s not quite as expansive as a 360 camera, the GoPro Hero11 Black’s larger 8:7 image sensor lets you capture more of what you see, and, thanks to some clever editing tools in the GoPro Quik app, you have a lot more options around what to do with your footage afterwards. According to GoPro, you should be able to record for up to 80 minutes when the camera is set to 5.3K/30 fps, and up to 137 minutes when recording at 1080p/30 fps. Good news for Hero11 Black buyers: That battery now comes as standard. When GoPro launched the Hero10, it also released a new optional Enduro battery, which offered roughly 40 percent more endurance, faster charging, and the ability to work in temperatures as low as 14 degrees F. In addition, you get advanced editing tools (such as the aforementioned ability to speed up and slow down segments of your video, filters and music), live streaming, discounts on GoPro gear, and a no-questions-asked replacement if your GoPro camera gets damaged or goes missing. When the camera is plugged in and connected to a Wi-Fi network, it will automatically upload all of the files on the camera to your GoPro account, saving you the trouble of having to do this manually.Ī GoPro subscription gives you unlimited storage of full-resolution photos and videos taken with your GoPro. If you have a GoPro subscription ($49.99 (AU$ 69.99)/year), you can enable another helpful feature in the Hero11 Black. An auto-highlight feature is also being added, but was not available while I was testing the camera. The one thing I wish it could do was lock on a subject, as with the Insta360 X3, but it’s a bit trickier to do if you don’t have a 360 lens.

When it comes to manual edits, you can speed up or slow down specific segments, add filters, and change exposure, contrast, and more. The other key benefit to this larger sensor is that it also gives you a lot more flexibility when editing video, and outputting it to the aspect ratio you want. The only other camera with a similar ability is a 360 camera, such as the Insta360 X3. And, thanks to the more square-shaped sensor, you can do so knowing that nothing will get cut off.

In addition, the Hero11 also has 360-degree Horizon Lock - you can literally rotate the camera in a full circle, and have the image remain steady. When coupled with Hypersmooth 5.0, you get incredibly great image stabilization. The biggest change to the GoPro Hero11 is its 1/1.9-inch sensor, which is not only larger than the previous model, but has a 8:7 aspect ratio, which really allows for some neat things.
