Hot on the heels of both the DJI Osmo Action 3 and Insta 360 X3, GoPro launches its latest action cam, the Hero 11 Black. This all-action-adventure camera's headline feature is that 8:7, 27MP, 10-bit camera sensor, which captures virtually square 5.3K content that can be cropped to create 4K clips in a host of aspect ratios.
Building on the success of the Hero 10 Black, the Hero 11 brings back a virtually identical design. This time, though, the camera software has been simplified, and the phone software - GoPro Quik, has been upgraded.
You can't talk about GoPro without mentioning its HyperSmooth stabilisation, and for version 5.0, GoPro has introduced 360° Horizon Locking at up to 5.3K. The 11 Black also introduces a new digital lens, HyperView, and captures seriously wide SuperView footage in up to 5.3K resolution at 60fps, or 4K resolution at 120fps. Add 27MP 8:7 photography to the mix, as well as some new modes, and it's obvious that this is the mightiest GoPro to date.
Design and screens
Other than insignia on the Hero 11 Black's side, this GoPro looks identical to last year's model. It carries forward the same black frame, houses a power button on the side and record button up top, and if you slide open the flap on the side, there's a battery cavity, microSD card slot and USB-C port.
On the rubberised front is a small 1.14-inch screen, and around the back, the main 2.27-inch touchscreen. Unlike the new DJI Osmo Action 3, the front screen isn't touch-sensitive, so everything is controlled with a combination of buttons and that main rear touch display.
