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

This is an upgrade from my Hero 2018. The Hero 11 may not be the latest model out there but when you balance the price with the features you end up ahead. The camera is practically bulletproof as long as you have the doors correctly closed. I use the GoPro primarily for off routing. The image quality is outstanding. Pro mode is the Way to go, almost unlimited settings with the ability to just color and speed. I would recommend finding a good YouTube video to help you walk through settings to achieve the best performance. The accompanying quick app, which is free to download, makes video editing, almost effortless with professional results.

If you enjoy making videos in the ocean or at the beach and capturing stunning views and photos of marine life, this camera is the perfect choice. It delivers excellent image and video quality, even underwater, allowing you to capture clear, vibrant details of the ocean and its surroundings.

Perfect

First, to address the many comments about the packaging - "E-commerce packaging". Even if you don't know what this means, the fact that it's so clearly stated in the title should tell you that it is NOT the usual, retail packaging. I can't believe people are complaining about this. The camera comes in a brown cardboard box with biodegradable packaging inside. I was happy to see this, I don't need pretty graphics and more plastic to put into the environment. I was not going to buy another GoPro after owning a 4 Black for years. That camera was just way too shaky for my use while MTB (Mountain biking) and was only moderately acceptable for skiing, which are my two primary uses for the camera. After reading about and seeing the video from the GoPro 11 with stabilization, I decided to give it one more try. And I'm glad I did! I've used this GoPro 11 Black on four MTB rides in the few weeks I've had it and the video is stunning. That word keeps ringing in my ears every time I view my recordings. I ride on some pretty rough trails, rocks, tree roots, bumps etc, and the video is amazingly stable! I also take capture frame grabs (still shots) from the video and they are so sharp it amazes me. I opted for the GoPro 11 over the 12 because it has the GPS function. But I haven't figured out how to use that yet! The manual that comes with this camera is pretty useless after about one day. I immediately went to the GoPro website and downloaded the Owner's Manual PDF. It is searchable so that works really well for me. Battery life: This still isn't what I would call "great" but it shows about 4 hours of record time when fully charged. I bought a 128GB SDHC storage card as well. That also shows about 4 hours of record time with my settings at 4k/60fps. I was shocked to see that a 3 min video is about 1GB + file size! Guess I'll be buying another hard drive to store these files on. One of the features I REALLY love in comparison to my GoPro 4 Black, is that I can power on & off the camera via the Quik app on my iPhone, and it automatically connects. That little feature is SO much better than the old process. And even the "low res preview" is still really good resolution, so it's fun to watch my video clips after a ride when I'm sitting at the bar with a beer. I have an iPhone SE (2nd gen) 128GB, and have had no technical issues with the camera. However, with file sizes over 1GB, I won't be storing a lot of video clips on my phone. I plan to buy the Enduro Battery and a charger soon, as that is said to have more cold weather tolerance which will be very important when ski season comes back around. Overall, I would recommend this camera. The recent price drop made it very attractive to me also.

I love my GoPro I just use it for my dj sets but can’t wait to take it to my next trip, it’s sad that the battery only lasts 30 mins tho

GREAT camera, very stable video, long lasting battery. Works great in pool or lake. Image stabilization is unbeatable. Well worth the cost.

I hate it. Is the video good? Sure. However these problems make it unusable. Years of using a Sony Action Cam which had NONE of these problems. 1. Overheats for absolutely No reason. I am in a kayak the outside air temp is 60 degrees. It overheats recording. 2. The battery life is horrible. You get 30-45 minutes then you have to swap batteries. (I have the GPS function turned off because that even makes it worse. I woudl like to use the GPS module and them removing that function makes me less likely to buy gopro too. 3. setup straight out of the box is horrible. You have to really watch a ton of youtube videos and experiment a lot to get the video to be right. 4. Wind noise is insane. Adding dead cats (with stickers) was the only thing that finally helped. So ANY wind. it is going to sound like a hurricane. 5. I hate the design of the battery compartment. It is always getting in the way of the screw mount. Does it take good videos? Sure if you play with it but you are going to get a lot of spoiled video that is unusable until you play with it a TON. Not impressed. I expected more from the flagship company in this space. This review is after using it 18 months.

Awesome Action and adventure camera, strong, durable with great quality video. Easy to edit footage. plenty of add on accessories to go with any sport or adventure. battery life is decent. Back ups are a must.

It came with the cardboard packaging. Case is not included. Looks brand new. Havent fully tested it yet.

The item received was as per description, however the carrying case was missing despite the ad mentioning it will be included in the package.

Great camera

Really love this camera. Been a year now since making this purchase. Been using it for videoing my outdoor adventures for my youtube channel. East to use great video quality.
