Ray, we’re pumped to see how you’ve put HERO11 Black through the paces so far. Those trail running images are insane! We can’t wait to see what you do next with SuperView, Night Effects and auto highlight videos.
Your products are overpriced and super small incremental upgrades and buggy AF not too mention overheats fast, annoying constant battery size changing.
Unfortunately no major upgrade. I have the Gopro 9, I didn't see any significant differences to buy the Gopro 11. I was expecting to see a 1'' sensor (for better low light handling and better depth of field) but sadly disappointing. In low light, in the afternoon, its reception is unacceptable.. even the quality of the phones is not enough.. I will also see with the new Dji 3 and compare it
I’d be upgrading from a GP9, so I’ll upgrade but yes for GP10 and vlogging probably not worth it unless you colour correct. BTW, love your vlogs, Karl. Hoping to get to India and Pakistan next year.
I've watched a whole bunch of TH-camrs reviews on the GoPro 11. I think yours is the best hands down. A lot of the other TH-camrs seem to be rattling off talking points. You actually went outside and tested the GoPro through actual situations that GoPro users would like to do.
I love the Hero 10, but I ordered the Action 3, much more compelling for my use. I mostly use action cams in the ocean, when I go spearfishing. Max depth of my spots is 10m, average of 6-8m. The Hero 10 never had a problem without the dive case (the case makes the image softer). The Action 3, with a deeper rating, gives me more confidence, I can take it to the occasional 15m deep reef without a case. Also, the 2-hour battery life is a nice upgrade. Anyway, even if I have spare batteries, I can not change them when the camera is in the ocean or not rinsed and dried. The DJI Osmo Action 3 has a better price. I prefer the GoPro flat colors, but in the end, the DJI has usability improvements. Now I use the Action 2 mounted on my speargun, as it is very light. But battery life is not great, and the field of view is very wide and shows distortion at the edges. But with any of these cameras, you can get great footage. I actually I like the still photos I get from the Hero 10, raw files that I can edit in Adobe Lightroom. Hero 10 also improved the write speed of the burst mode still photos. I pre-ordered the Action 3 but will skip the Hero 11.
@@adriant.7457 The Action 3 was backordered. So i actually got the Hero 11. Quality is very good. The Hero 10 sd card slot failed after warranty was over by a month or 2, GoPro still replaced it at no charge. That impressed me. The DJI osmo action 3 order was cancelled after waiting for too long. The focus issue and the lack of transparency by DJI about it are worrisome. I still like the DJI usability, menu system, i may get it in the future. I have used Action 2 in the water, but the battery life and internal memory are very limited and limiting. Actually in 11 degree water, 52F i believe, it stopped working with a message about low temperature. The GoPro had no issue with the same temperature. Overall GoPro takes also very good stills with very good resolution and dynamic range. The DJI has better usability, menus and supposed water resistance. But I trust more GoPro's claims. A single battery, SD, usb port/door is better for water resistance than 2 separate doors, like the OA3. GoPro image quality seems generally better
Great video, really like watching your vids as there’s no bs and they’re straight to the point what I want to know!! Waiting for AW Ultra in depth review
Thank you so much!!! 🙏That's the review i needed to decide if it's worth upgrading from my GoPro 10. I see no dropbox link yet, hope you add it soon. Really curious to see what a difference the 10-bit color makes. That would be my main reason to get the GoPro 11.
It is so exhausting to listen to you I quit watching after 5:14 minutes. If you could slow down while speaking and give your viewers a break for 1 or 2 seconds now and then, just to help them understand what you just said if of any importance that would help. Also be quiet for 1 or 2 sec after cutting the video for your next whatever you wanna talk or continue talking about. This will help to keep the viewers attention instead of brainwashing their brains. Thanks!
Wow you talk really fast, no pauses hardly at all, it’s hard to take in what you’re saying, so much info blurred into one long sentence, good review but maybe chill a bit 😂
first off dude, another awesome video. Thank you! Also, in your opinion, do you think those night video modes will be on the GoPro 10 in an update eventually? Those features I am liking a lot. I currently have the 8 and 10. I would do a trade in for the 11 and pay the difference for the 11 and keep the 10 but it seems that is gone from the site :/ I do have a subscription and it is DEFINITELY worth having btw!
For me the 10 bit colour is a game changer. Shooting in a Flat colour profile gives you more dynamic range and 10 bit colour means you have less issues with colour banding when grading. This also makes it easier mix the footage with stuff shot on professional cameras, without it looking out of place.
This was awesome. I was debating waiting for the 10 getting discounted with the 11 out, but now I’m thinking the 11 might be worth it. Never had one so I wouldn’t be upgrading.
Just ordered the 11 with the subscription. I had borrowed one from my friends before, it was 6 years ago, Hero 4 I believe, had a good impression, always wanted one for my own. Now I have some time to biking so I am ready to get one. It should last around 5 years or so.
@@AlenMajetic By doing it on camera or with purpose built apps, you can better utilize the gyro/accelerometer data, getting far better results than post processing typically does in a generic video editor (unless it has access to that data).
Love you GoPro reviews. Whenever a new GoPro is released yours is the first channel I check out. You pack so much information into your review that I have to playback at 75% so I catch everything. Keep up the great work really like your stuff.
I was rather let down by the Go Pro 10 due to its overheating. I used the go pro to record in an aeroplane cockpit with an over the shoulder view. (You can see an example of the set up on my channel, look for this video “Unexpected Mig-15 encounter in the UK” I used a GoPro media mod to get the audio from the in aeroplane communications onto the GoPro recordings using the 3.5mm jack. I removed the internal battery and powered it with an external power bank. The settings I used were 4k 30fps with the 2nd lowest setting for stabilisation. The Go Pro would still overheat around 40-45 minutes after it started recording. I’m now looking to 3d print a fan mount for the GoPro. The Go Pro 10 can record some amazing footage but oh boy has it been not reliable.
I'm so stoked for the Mini, The 9/10 is noticeably heaver on a helmet to the point that I still use my 8 for FPV helmet cam shots. the Mini is exactly what I have wanted since the Hero 9
You obviously know your material very well. This video would have been better if you could have broken it up into two videos then covered the same material but a tad bit slower. Anyway, thanks for the video.
My GoPro10 would overheat 10mins into a POV drive in 4k/60 and it always bummed me out haha Did a poll in my community section and 82% of people said they watch TH-cam in 1080p, or the auto-resolution their phone sets based on connectivity (720p-1080p). MOST videos you must choose to watch in 4k to view it in 4k. What i'm looking forward too is the night vision, and if it's improved at all! Great video DC!
The problem is that shooting in 4k is preferable even if your end product is 1080p, as it gives you the ability to crop shots and maintain 1080p quality
You should teach a master class on presenting information. You have the best style of anyone on Utube. . The facts and nothing but the facts , as Jack Webb use to say on dragnet. You speak my speed.
As a rookie TH-camr I went for a Insta360 Go2 but it has its limitations, was waiting for this video to show up! Can’t wait for the full video for the ‘noobies’. Thanks man, you’re really handy for the community!
Can you make a video showing the interior of a home moving from room to room? I am into real estate video blogs, and the lighting is always an issue with my Gopro 9. 😀Great Video
This is what I'd really like to know too - does the bigger sensor give better performance under indoor lighting, something I'm not too happy with on my 9 as well
I really wanted to upgrade from 7 black. Will upgrade when there is a real upgrade. This is great but I still use go pro 7 black and get all the accessories super cheap.
Loved it! But comparing 16:9 to 8:7 is kinda false because you can do 4:3 in 5.3k on the 10. Still more pixels but not that crazy before/after comparison. Moving closer to a perfect square sensor for social
my question would be, is the software still as buggy and clunky while often freezing and making me miss tons of shots? Can it now hold reliably a remote connection to my phone 1 1/2 m away?
Nice review Ray! For the change of aspect ratios in post productions, I've been seeing Insta360 doing it for a while though, isn't something entirely new - Same as Horizon Lock. As someone who owns both Hero 10 and Insta360 X2, it's not really convincing to upgrade though.
Thank you for this! I just got one and I love it and I love the simplicity of the packaging and all but it doesn't give a lot of detail. One suggestion from a novice like me @dc Rainmaker, great video, but speak slower.
"it's hard to see in the TH-cam video" Actually it's not. If one watches the video in a higher resolution and on a high-end phone screen, the difference is actually noticeable. Not a night and day difference but it's noticeable, if one looks for it.
Great review as always! Curious to see your thoughts on the microphone and clarity of sound versus the 10. I have the microphone mod set up on my 10 now and I find it to be muffled when facing outward. When vlogging and doing resort and room tours, I tend to shoot with the microphone and camera facing the view versus myself and I’d love to hear your feedback on that. GoPro says the 11 has “Enhanced Audio Capture” but that doesn’t tell me if there’s an upgrade there or not.
As always great job mate! I got my GoPro 10 just 9 months ago and as I can see some pros of the latest version they're just not enough to justify an upgrade... I guess I'll wait another year for GoPro 12 or Osmo Action 4 ... ;)
Hey Ray, you did an excellent job as always! Every time I buy something for myself I have to search from your channel if you have an in-deep review of the said item. I have GoPro 8 Black for my MTB ride, with few batteries but my issues with GoPro batteries, it easily gets bloated, some of my GoPro batteries are less than 6 months old and it's really hard to pull out because it is bloated, do you have any experience with this? all my batteries are original from GoPro purchased in BestBuy. By the way, I am using GoPro - Dual Battery Charger. Any tips and advice? Thanks!
Thanks for the informative video! I have an 8 and was happy to upgrade to the 11. I was sold on the car lights and star trail features, something I was reluctant to get into with DSLR cameras.
Amazing video, thanks so much. I've got the Hero 9 and I think a few of these features are worth upgrading for (I was thinking of buying the max lens mode for the 9, but if it has the horizon lock built-in on the 11 that's a great benefit!)
I just learned that the Hero 9 can turn on the max lens setting without the lens, and turn on horizon lock. I just tried it and it works. The 11 might do it better. If I had both I would compare.
I'll give it a go, I didn't know that. I saw there was horizon lock on the linear mode, but it only works to a 45-degree turn of the camera; you can't turn the camera completely upside down and have it locked. Have you found a way to do that?
@@ChrisBranch Yes I spun my camera in a full circle and the image stayed locked with the horizon. You need a lot of light to make it look good, but all things considering it seems to be a good shot. Just turn on the max lens setting even though you don't have it on, then the lock horizon option is available in the recording settings.
I found your reviews years ago while shopping for a watch. They are awesome! thank you. I've just upgraded to the 11 from the 8 and I am figuring out how to utilize the features. I would buy the mini, but I don't want to toss the camera when the battery dies
Been a sub for a few years now. Thanks for this great review. Have the 9 and with the media mod, it likes to overheat. I think the 11 will be more forgiving. Look forward to your next GoPro 11 videos. THANKS!!
interested in how often it locks up and crashes resulting in a battery pull?? lost footage? i'm swinging OA3 way with issues on my 8,9 and 10 all sold and stuck with the 7b till now
Planning on getting a new GoPro for our adventure rides on our motorcycles. We currently are using a GoPro Hero 7 Black and a Hero 9 Black. Do you recommend the Hero 11 Black or should we stick what we have now? Thanks for the advise and I love watching your videos, they have helped me so much doing my videos for TH-cam......
I'd say for the Hero 7 Black it'd be a massive upgrade. For the Hero 9 Black, a modest upgrade, specifically in that case around the SuperView modes and frame rates.
@@Dcrainmaker Thank you for the advice, I'll probably be going with the new Hero 11 Black then as we are stamping out a half dozen videos a month and the best quality is what we are after. Again, Thank you for the advice and of course taking the time to answer my question......
Really enjoyed how you captured everything so quickly, GREAT video ! I am upgrading from my Hero 3+ (Silver) so this is all very overwhelming to say the least but this video was A+
My Hero 9 constantly locks up ( won't turn on even with a full battery and holding the On button for over 15 seconds ) between usage. Was this vetted out in the Hero 11?
Err, no. Not every camera overheats. Hell, overheating only really became an issue in GP10. And still no standard mic attachment. FFS GoPro Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Nah, every camera overheats. It's only TH-camrs putting it on desks in 2021 that finally realized it (while concurrently ignoring it for oft-sponsored other action cam videos). As I showed in my previous overheating videos, the Hero 9 overheated the same way, as did the DJI Action cam and (far worse) the Action 2.
I'm currently searching for my first action camera and this video helped me alot! thank you for the review and I can't wait for the HERO 11 vs Action 3 video!
I am a big fan of your reviews! Just to note, I am starting to loose faith in GoPro. Just too many issue, with freezing, losing amazing videos, corrupt files etc. Going to watch your DJI review now. Thank you
You said selecting battery saving could reduce 'resolution or stabilisation', a little less real isn't too much of a worry, but stabilisation is - can you give more detail on this? I will be recording dog walks - tromping along paths, turning, bending, throwing balls! Would like to understand more on this. Great video by the way 👍.
Just a note for those wondering about all the features of the HERO11 (and in most cases the 10 & 9), with Labs firmware your camera can do (and you can do to it) much more than it’s advertised on the box and what’s in the user manual. Most importantly, it’s actually very easy to use, especially with the QRControl mobile app (Android & iOS). With Labs firmware installed you not only get all the goodness of the latest general release firmware, you also get: 200 Mbps recording Motion detection recording Speed detection recording Audio decibel (noise) detection recording Global tone mapping On/Off Local tone mapping On/Off Global and Local tone mapping Max shutter angle control Exposure damping control Extra long (days) time lapse on one battery GPS time synchronization USB power trigger Burn in overlays Custom file naming 12GB file length chaptering GPS synced Sunrise/Sunset recording Time code support via LTC Auto generated Adobe style proxy files On screen histogram Burn in lap times Luma sweep Embed personal logo into video Control length of Hindsight timeout (instead of default 15 minutes) Increase digital gain of audio Clean monitoring without overlays Mute one or more channels of audio True 24.0 (Cinema) frame rate (instead of broadcast 23.976) Increased write frequency for higher precion file recoveries Alternative exposure controls ........ and more.
I will be buying the Gopro Hero 11 I have never used a GoPro camera before and I heard the GoPro Hero 10 had heating problems is that still a problem with the Hero 11?
Ordered a Hero 10, it hasn't even arrived yet, but that didn't stop Gopro sending an advert for the 11 at the same price as the 10. Now the 10 has been reuced by £50. I am a TH-camr and a long time user of both GoPro and Osmo. I feel badly let down by GoPro, they knew the camera I was odering would be replaced by a newer model before it even arrived, that is no way to treat customers if they want to keep them. I have invited GoPro to do the right thing and refund the reduction or better still replace the 10 with an 11. If I don't get a good result, I will be returning it to make the switch to the Osmo 3. Thanks for the video, especially highlighting the diference between the 10 and the 11.
how's the connection to the app? I have the 9 and the app connection is horrible and unusable. Dropped connections, cant check media, live view can't connect..
I feel like on balance, the 11 is: "same shit different day".... eh take my money anyway 🤣 Marginal gains, useful for sure, but can't see the average user needing to upgrade if they have the 10. Some of these things seem like firmware adds that *could* be applied to the 10, but not my call to make lol. Love the idea of the mini, dumping the Hero session was stupid, this will make a lot of people happy. Some of the creative modes are pretty damn cool, though, when are we going to get a larger sensor to maximize on that! I wouldn't mind a larger body (while still pocketable) that can give you some of these cool options! Great primer, as always, while us plebs wait for the retail releases to show up in the mailbox 😅

واضح العجز عن طرح الجديد المميز
Hit that like button!!** He did a great job with so much information to give us!
Loved it! But comparing 16:9 to 8:7 is kinda false because you can do 4:3 in 5.3k on the 10. Still more pixels but not that crazy before/after comparison. Moving closer to a perfect square sensor for social
can you tell me how to setting still camera 16:9
Great video. Has there been any significant improvement in "low light" performance? Thank you.
None that I can see. Perhaps a bit more 'recoverability' with 10-bit enabled, but it really isn't going to save the situation a ton.
my question would be, is the software still as buggy and clunky while often freezing and making me miss tons of shots? Can it now hold reliably a remote connection to my phone 1 1/2 m away?
Nice review Ray! For the change of aspect ratios in post productions, I've been seeing Insta360 doing it for a while though, isn't something entirely new - Same as Horizon Lock. As someone who owns both Hero 10 and Insta360 X2, it's not really convincing to upgrade though.
Thank you for this! I just got one and I love it and I love the simplicity of the packaging and all but it doesn't give a lot of detail. One suggestion from a novice like me @dc Rainmaker, great video, but speak slower.
"it's hard to see in the TH-cam video"
Actually it's not. If one watches the video in a higher resolution and on a high-end phone screen, the difference is actually noticeable.
Not a night and day difference but it's noticeable, if one looks for it.
Great review as always! Curious to see your thoughts on the microphone and clarity of sound versus the 10. I have the microphone mod set up on my 10 now and I find it to be muffled when facing outward. When vlogging and doing resort and room tours, I tend to shoot with the microphone and camera facing the view versus myself and I’d love to hear your feedback on that. GoPro says the 11 has “Enhanced Audio Capture” but that doesn’t tell me if there’s an upgrade there or not.
Wow every time I open TH-cam this week I see a new vid from Ray! (not complaining)
Hahaha...it's just a bit crazy around here this week!
As always great job mate! I got my GoPro 10 just 9 months ago and as I can see some pros of the latest version they're just not enough to justify an upgrade... I guess I'll wait another year for GoPro 12 or Osmo Action 4 ... ;)
👍Extra, Good job 👏
Have a nice day ☀️☕✋
Regards djjanusz from Warsaw Poland ✋🇵🇱✌️
Dude you are one of very few channels that are left in the TH-cam world with unbiased review. Looking for detailed review
Hey Ray, you did an excellent job as always! Every time I buy something for myself I have to search from your channel if you have an in-deep review of the said item. I have GoPro 8 Black for my MTB ride, with few batteries but my issues with GoPro batteries, it easily gets bloated, some of my GoPro batteries are less than 6 months old and it's really hard to pull out because it is bloated, do you have any experience with this? all my batteries are original from GoPro purchased in BestBuy. By the way, I am using GoPro - Dual Battery Charger. Any tips and advice? Thanks!
Thanks for the informative video! I have an 8 and was happy to upgrade to the 11. I was sold on the car lights and star trail features, something I was reluctant to get into with DSLR cameras.
Are you afraid you will miss the bus or something? Do you think that if you speak faster than fast that your message will sound more interesting?
Actually, yes, I needed to catch a bus out of the national park.
Many thanks! As always: High-quality product test, unaffected by any sponsorship!
Thank you!
Amazing video, thanks so much. I've got the Hero 9 and I think a few of these features are worth upgrading for (I was thinking of buying the max lens mode for the 9, but if it has the horizon lock built-in on the 11 that's a great benefit!)
I just learned that the Hero 9 can turn on the max lens setting without the lens, and turn on horizon lock. I just tried it and it works. The 11 might do it better. If I had both I would compare.
I'll give it a go, I didn't know that. I saw there was horizon lock on the linear mode, but it only works to a 45-degree turn of the camera; you can't turn the camera completely upside down and have it locked. Have you found a way to do that?
@@ChrisBranch Yes I spun my camera in a full circle and the image stayed locked with the horizon. You need a lot of light to make it look good, but all things considering it seems to be a good shot. Just turn on the max lens setting even though you don't have it on, then the lock horizon option is available in the recording settings.
Cool, thanks ☺️🙏
Thank you for your review ... How bout low light on Hero 11 ?
I found your reviews years ago while shopping for a watch. They are awesome! thank you. I've just upgraded to the 11 from the 8 and I am figuring out how to utilize the features. I would buy the mini, but I don't want to toss the camera when the battery dies
Been a sub for a few years now. Thanks for this great review. Have the 9 and with the media mod, it likes to overheat. I think the 11 will be more forgiving. Look forward to your next GoPro 11 videos. THANKS!!
interested in how often it locks up and crashes resulting in a battery pull?? lost footage? i'm swinging OA3 way with issues on my 8,9 and 10 all sold and stuck with the 7b till now
Planning on getting a new GoPro for our adventure rides on our motorcycles. We currently are using a GoPro Hero 7 Black and a Hero 9 Black. Do you recommend the Hero 11 Black or should we stick what we have now? Thanks for the advise and I love watching your videos, they have helped me so much doing my videos for TH-cam......
I'd say for the Hero 7 Black it'd be a massive upgrade. For the Hero 9 Black, a modest upgrade, specifically in that case around the SuperView modes and frame rates.
@@Dcrainmaker Thank you for the advice, I'll probably be going with the new Hero 11 Black then as we are stamping out a half dozen videos a month and the best quality is what we are after. Again, Thank you for the advice and of course taking the time to answer my question......
awesome camera
Really enjoyed how you captured everything so quickly, GREAT video ! I am upgrading from my Hero 3+ (Silver) so this is all very overwhelming to say the least but this video was A+
My Hero 9 constantly locks up ( won't turn on even with a full battery and holding the On button for over 15 seconds ) between usage. Was this vetted out in the Hero 11?
Err, no. Not every camera overheats. Hell, overheating only really became an issue in GP10.
And still no standard mic attachment.
FFS GoPro
Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Nah, every camera overheats. It's only TH-camrs putting it on desks in 2021 that finally realized it (while concurrently ignoring it for oft-sponsored other action cam videos). As I showed in my previous overheating videos, the Hero 9 overheated the same way, as did the DJI Action cam and (far worse) the Action 2.
I like your shirt.
Can you use it as a Web cam ??
Please try to not talk so fast...maybe less coffee! :) Love your content but you had me hyperventilating.
Thanks for the video!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What are the thing I don't need to know?
I'm currently searching for my first action camera and this video helped me alot! thank you for the review and I can't wait for the HERO 11 vs Action 3 video!
I am a big fan of your reviews! Just to note, I am starting to loose faith in GoPro. Just too many issue, with freezing, losing amazing videos, corrupt files etc. Going to watch your DJI review now. Thank you
Sir,
Request tell little slow. U r too fast too process info. Just a request. Rest enthu is top notch
Speed @.75
Unfortunately the 10-bit is 420 rather than 422 😕
There's only so much you can squeeze in a tiny package. Its still a step forward and more than 90% of users will ever need.
You said selecting battery saving could reduce 'resolution or stabilisation', a little less real isn't too much of a worry, but stabilisation is - can you give more detail on this? I will be recording dog walks - tromping along paths, turning, bending, throwing balls! Would like to understand more on this. Great video by the way 👍.
Cant wait for your comparison b/w the 11 and the osmo action 3!
Just a note for those wondering about all the features of the HERO11 (and in most cases the 10 & 9), with Labs firmware your camera can do (and you can do to it) much more than it’s advertised on the box and what’s in the user manual.
Most importantly, it’s actually very easy to use, especially with the QRControl mobile app (Android & iOS).
With Labs firmware installed you not only get all the goodness of the latest general release firmware, you also get:
200 Mbps recording
Motion detection recording
Speed detection recording
Audio decibel (noise) detection recording
Global tone mapping On/Off
Local tone mapping On/Off
Global and Local tone mapping
Max shutter angle control
Exposure damping control
Extra long (days) time lapse on one battery
GPS time synchronization
USB power trigger
Burn in overlays
Custom file naming
12GB file length chaptering
GPS synced Sunrise/Sunset recording
Time code support via LTC
Auto generated Adobe style proxy files
On screen histogram
Burn in lap times
Luma sweep
Embed personal logo into video
Control length of Hindsight timeout (instead of default 15 minutes)
Increase digital gain of audio
Clean monitoring without overlays
Mute one or more channels of audio
True 24.0 (Cinema) frame rate (instead of broadcast 23.976)
Increased write frequency for higher precion file recoveries
Alternative exposure controls ........ and more.
Is this something like a Magic Lantern for SLR cameras? thank you
@@gilean6179 Sure, you could think of it that way.
Nice! Still stuck with gopro5 over here, so all these features sound amazing :D Thanks for the vid!
Can’t wait for comparison with DJI action 3 :)
I will be buying the Gopro Hero 11 I have never used a GoPro camera before and I heard the GoPro Hero 10 had heating problems is that still a problem with the Hero 11?
Ordered a Hero 10, it hasn't even arrived yet, but that didn't stop Gopro sending an advert for the 11 at the same price as the 10. Now the 10 has been reuced by £50. I am a TH-camr and a long time user of both GoPro and Osmo. I feel badly let down by GoPro, they knew the camera I was odering would be replaced by a newer model before it even arrived, that is no way to treat customers if they want to keep them. I have invited GoPro to do the right thing and refund the reduction or better still replace the 10 with an 11. If I don't get a good result, I will be returning it to make the switch to the Osmo 3. Thanks for the video, especially highlighting the diference between the 10 and the 11.
0:09 a wild Desfit appears!
I really wanted to watch this but only lasted 58 secs You are talking way too fast. Why do that? Sorry I can’t keep up.
Does the larger sensor mean better low light performance?
Another great video bud. I'd like to see the difference between Hyperview and SUperview with the Max Mod Lens.
Yup - that's a good idea to dive into!
DJI Osmo 3 will be my upgrade path from Gpro9.
how's the connection to the app? I have the 9 and the app connection is horrible and unusable. Dropped connections, cant check media, live view can't connect..
I feel like on balance, the 11 is: "same shit different day".... eh take my money anyway 🤣 Marginal gains, useful for sure, but can't see the average user needing to upgrade if they have the 10. Some of these things seem like firmware adds that *could* be applied to the 10, but not my call to make lol. Love the idea of the mini, dumping the Hero session was stupid, this will make a lot of people happy.
Some of the creative modes are pretty damn cool, though, when are we going to get a larger sensor to maximize on that! I wouldn't mind a larger body (while still pocketable) that can give you some of these cool options!
Great primer, as always, while us plebs wait for the retail releases to show up in the mailbox 😅
5:52 They aren't incredibly difficult. How disingenuous.
DC Rainmaker: The newst digital lens is hyperview, not to be confused with hyperlapse, thats for timelapses!
Me: Takes notes*
DC Rainmaker: Anyways, hyperlapse is a 12mm lens...
Me: '__'
Hello, We use the Gopro 10 and 11 for 360 photo booths. I would love for you to test this camera out for the best usage . We've been having issues with overheating, and Hypersmooth. I would love to talk to you more about what we do so you can possibly help us use the Gopro to the best of it's ability, thanks
