GoProHERO11 Black Mini - Compact Waterproof Action Camera With 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 24.7MP Frame Grabs, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, 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

Worked fine for the first two weeks and the camera is good, the app used to move your footage about is ok.After 2 weeks the device has stopped charging and will no longer upload footage to the cloud account, definitely not worth the money.

The GoPro HERO11 Black delivers excellent video quality and has all the features you'd expect from a high-end action camera. The image stabilization is fantastic, and the footage looks professional and crisp. However, I did encounter issues when using it in the Thai heat — it failed too often in those conditions.While it performs brilliantly in moderate climates, it seems to struggle in extreme heat, which was disappointing for outdoor filming in hotter regions. Overall, it's a great camera, but keep in mind its limitations if you're planning to use it in high temperatures.

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.

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

I love the size of the mini camera. The image stabilization is amazing. The image size is really flexible. It's very easy to set up and use, especially if you create QR codes for the modes that you use most often - hold the appropriate QR code in front of the lens and the camera switches to those settings automatically; such a useful feature. The image quality is decent in daylight and terrible in the dark, as you would expect from an action camera. But the battery life is terrible - I wouldn't trust it to record more than an hour at 4k/60fps. That would be annoying with a replaceable battery, but with the battery sealed in to the camera I regret my choices almost every time I use it.
