Capture. Charge. Relax. That’s all it takes to get incredible highlight videos sent to your phone automatically.1 Start by capturing your adventures with HERO11 Black—the most powerful GoPro yet. It features front and rear LCD screens that let you frame your shots perfectly, plus a new image sensor that unleashes the tallest and widest field of view ever on a HERO camera. The result is higher image quality, better video stabilization and the flexibility to turn your footage into wide cinematic shots or extra-tall vertical shots for social posts. 5.3K video and 27MP photos help you relive your best moments in stunning detail, while Emmy® Award-winning HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilization with Horizon Lock keeps your footage straight even if your camera rotates a full 360°. After your adventure, simply plug in HERO11 Black to charge and kick back. While you’re relaxing, your footage is uploaded to the cloud, automatically turned into an amazing highlight video and sent to your phone—ready to share.
Revolutionary New Image Sensor: expansive field of view ever on a HERO camera out of the box. This gives you an extra-large canvas for your creativity by capturing more of the sky and horizon in every shot. Zoom in, crop your shots, change digital lenses, adjust aspect ratios and more while keeping the rich textures and sharpness of your footage..Maximum Video Bit Rate : 120Mbps. ISO Range - Video : 100-6400, ISO Range - Photo : 100-3200, Exposure Control : Yes, Operating Temperature : -10º C - 35º C.
Unbelievable Image Quality: With 5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p, HERO11 Black captures the action with crisp detail and cinematic image quality. A water- repelling lens cover even helps eliminate lens flare and other artifacts to make your photos and videos even more stunning.
High-Res Photos + Videos, High Frame Rate: HERO11 Black’s new image sensor boosts photo resolution up to an incredible 27MP while delivering 5.3K60 video with amazingly fluid motion that you can use to grab stunning 24.7MP stills of your favorite shots. Plus, record 2.7K240 video that can be played back in 8x slo-mo to catch details that can’t be seen at normal speed.
Emmy Award- Winning HyperSmooth Stabilization: HyperSmooth has never been better. And now it’s won a huge award for its insanely smooth footage—a 2021 Emmy for In- Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization. HyperSmooth 5.0 raises the bar even more with Horizon Lock, improved stabilization for 4:3 aspect ratio footage thanks to our new image sensor, and AutoBoost for maximum stabilization with minimal image cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get some awesome pet POV shots—even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth.

Title: Where do you start with one of the most popular products ever conceived?
Review: I finally took the plunge after all these years by getting the Hero 11, and I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed.The ability to record at high resolution is great.The ability to configure for frame rate, resolution, image field, and multiple other customizations is almost dizzying with how many ways to adjust it.I have alreay used it for one video of myself (using the head strap) successfully hunting a coyote.The picture quality is excellent, and it captured the entire hunt just as I had hoped.I have since learned that there is a preset that allows less of the "fisheye" effect when recording, so I have switched to that for most of my purposes.Using that setting, I am able to get about 75 minutes of uninterrupted recording time, and operating at this setting makes the video much less distorted at the (no big deal for the style of recording that I want) expense of a narrower field of view.Some things to know about the GoPro (or other action cameras) is that this type of camera can be susecptible to overheating, especially at max resolution and frame rate, with the camera moving (image stabilization working hard), and with poor or no air flow to cool the camera.I have not had any of those problems, but then I have been using mine in cooler climate and with moderate frame rate and resolution, but I wanted to inform anyone apprehensive about overheating that there are some ways to avoid that issue.I have researched the overheating issue, and here are some ways to avoid it:1) Use the camera with good air flow or in a cooler environment.2) If possible, run at a more moderate frame rate and resolution.3) If in a very hot or poorly ventilated environment, don't run for long periods, as action cameras are mostly intended for videos of about ten minutes at a time.4) This one is often overlooked, but a major way to help avoid overheating is to use the recommended class (speed) of microSD card that allows the camera to record with the microSD card able to keep up with the large volume of data being written to it, with GoPro recommending a U3 card.It's tough to go into all the attributes of what makes a genuine GoPro so popular, but to summarize the basics for of you who don't already know:1) This is a very rugged piece of gear, with the bare camera (there are hard cases that allow considerably greater waterproof ratings) waterproof down to 33 feet.2) The camera can operate at various resolutions and frame rates, allowing both time lapse and slow motion video.3) It has replaceable batteries, so you can keep spares on hand for long recording sessions.4) The lens defaults to an extremely wide angle view particularly useful for capturing events with fast-moving action or for capturing movement going nearly horizon to horizon; but (as mentioned above) the angle can be adjusted more narrowly for less of the "fisheye" inherent with wide angle lenses.5) The camera body is ruggedized, and it has an integral folding mounting bracket to allow the camera to be attached to one of the huge number of systems that allow the camera to be worn on a hat, on the head via a strap, onto the chest, onto a tripod, to a gimbal, or to just about any other system that can be adapted to the now ubiquitous GoPro mounting system.Yes, this is an expensive piece of gear, but quality often comes with a bit more money spent, and I'm very satisfied with it.Two upgrades to this camera that I would recommend are to get a remote for it (GoPro makes one, but there are third party ones as well) and a silicon lens cover because.The lens covers available are held on by friction, and it's a bit of a mystery why GoPro doesn't include one.The main reason that I find the remote a worthy purchase is because it's particularly useful when having the camera mounted where it's difficult to activate and be certain that it's recording, and the remote will power the camera on without having to touch it, start recording with a second press of one of the buttons on the remote, and show the battery charge level of the camera and the time of recording.

Title: Perfect for Capturing BTS Footage
Review: As a photographer, the GoPro has been amazing for filming behind-the-scenes content during my shoots. Itâs small and unobtrusive, so it doesnât get in the way, and the video quality is great for sharing online. The stabilization makes even handheld shots look smooth, and itâs super easy to set up and use. A great addition to my kit!

Title: Awesome! Durable desgn
Review: If you are not planning an active extreme shooting, you'd better use an Iphone. But for the rest - it's GoPro, guys. Rugged and strong. Enduro battery drains a little faster, but it's ok if you are filming a 4K and higher. Definitely, five stars!

Title: Solid support
Review: I only had it just over a month and slipped and broke it. Devastated. Fortunately, their support is awesome and for a small replacement cost, got a new one shipped. This is such a great camera - versatile and take great footage. Very happy. Wish I hadn't broken it at all but, reorder fee didn't break the bank

Title: Worst purchase I've made this year
Review: I bought this thinking it would be a great addition to my 360 photo booth. It overheated very fast. It didn't matter if it was connected Wi-Fi or directly plugged into the iPad. I tried every recommended scenario. I finally gave up on using it as an option for the 360 Booth. That would be a terrible problem to have at an event. Well I thought maybe I could get some use out of it with making YouTube videos. However, it loses charge even when turned off and it constantly disconnects from any device I connect it to. It will say it's connected and then just shut off and then I cannot get it to power back on and whatever it was connected to cannot find it. I do make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as well. I'm so tired of trouble shooting this camera and I will never purchase another GoPro again. Total waste of money. So to summarize the issues I'm having: overheating quickly, shutting down randomly, not being able to power back on, battery draining when powered off, disconnecting from devices for no reason. Sorry GoPro but I don't understand how something with such great features can underdeliver so much.

Title: A Great Camera But The Battery Issue Continues
Review: I have had my GoPro 11 since December 2022. Over the years I have owned every model produced and use them exclusively for my ecology tour programs. Many pics are taken above the ground and videos are shot in a saltwater environment to photograph stingrays and sharks. The camera is easy to use and works well with a protective case. However, there is the issue of the battery overheating when I use the case in warm temperatures. The Bahamas has milder temps in the Winter/Spring but when April rolls around and the weather is warmer the battery heats up and the entire unit has to be submersed underwater to cool the unit down. This is the only complaint I have about the camera and I hope GoPro will read this review and produce a cooler lithium battery for WARMER climates. Once this issue is corrected the company will have a true top of the line camera suitable for any environment in any weather conditions.

Review: It met my expectations so am happy with the investment. Provided you understand the technical limits of this type of camera and you work out how to get good results (consistently) you should be happy with your purchase.
