GoPro has launched its latest action camera family, and for 2022, there are two in the lineup – the GoPro Hero 11 Black and Hero 11 Black Mini. The cameras both sport the same 10-bit sensor, which is the real headline feature here, with its 8:7 aspect ratio and 27MP resolution – so from one take, you can crop 9:16 clips for TikTok, 1:1 clips for Instagram, and 16:9 clips for YouTube without losing a ton of detail.
The GoPro Hero 11 Black has a nearidentical design to last year’s excellent Hero 10 Black, while the Hero 11 Black Mini is a sort-of follow-up to the Hero 10 Black Bones, but with less of a focus on drones. They also feature GoPro’s Enduro battery technology and a simplified software experience.
The key differences between the two cameras are their screens and mounts. The Hero 11 Black mini ditches both the front and rear screen, and its Enduro battery is built-in. It isn’t all compromise for the mini, though – there’s an extra set of mounting legs around the back.
