Really cool

I've waited to get the Hero 11 because of the various reviews. I go rafting a lot and also do real estate photography. Even though I have a decent drone for aerial photos and video shots, I also have the need for video walk throughs. I also thought it would be good while traveling in Europe this Fall. I got it and tried it out on a snow snowmobiling trip. I mounted it to the windshield (because I didn't have the helmet mount) and it worked great..... the motion stabilizer is incredible! The view, color and smooth action video is great. I give it only 4 stars for now because I've only used it once, and the unit doesn't come with any usage instructions other than how to charge and install the battery. Oh, I did buy extra battery's (as a photographer I always have backup). Also, the app for it won't install on my S7 because it's antiquated, so I don't know how the instant file upload to the cloud works. After I get a new phone and use the Hero 11 more, I'll revise this review.

How to import Hero11 files on Macintosh

The GoPro Hero11 Black has better contrast control and other features to be explored compared to my GoPro Hero9, so I bought one from GoPro last fall. I returned the first Hero11 to GoPro because on my iMac, imported with Image Capture, half the movie files would not play. GoPro Support had no answers, so I thought it was a damaged camera. B&H reminded me that I really wanted an 11 so I ordered a second one. It had the same result. I noticed that only the long series of 4GB files failed. Shorter movies played. I finally found user comments making it clear that it was the method of importing the files from the micro-SD card that is a problem. If I take the card out of the camera, put it in an SD adapter, put that in a card reader, and copy the files to the Mac, the files are fine. I will keep looking for a more direct method.

I had bought the GP Hero 7 Black a few years ago and have had nothing but problems with that camera. It would constantly freeze, I would lose footage and it just would not work in cold temperatures (Bryce in the winter). I was really frustrated, but tended to work around those issues as I couldn't find another camera that was as portable or had the features (TimeWarp etc.) that I wanted. My GP H7 recently was on the verge of dying, so I thought I would give the Hero 11 a try and if it was not good, I could always return it (I initially bought the DJI Osmo Action 3, gut it has focus issues). Well, I got the GP Hero 11 with the accessory package directly from GP and have now used it for two trips - one to Coyote Gulch in Escalante and another for a Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon. The camera performed flawlessly. I have over 150 GB of footage from the Grand Canyon alone and I did not have a single freeze up or any other issue. When I started my hike from the North Rim, it was 4F and was freezing. But the camera turned on and performed wonderfully. I must have shot around an hour's worth of footage in those temperatures before heading down for my hike.
The one thing I did was to use a power bank (Ulanzi BG-2 or BG-3 that screws onto the base of the GP H11) with the GP 11 and removed the internal battery. Do note that if you power the GP H11 directly with a power bank while removing the battery, you will get an error saying that there is not enough power and the camera will shut down. Even if you use a power bank with 5V/2A or higher specs, it will still power off saying low power. The trick is to update the firmware with the GoPro Labs Firmware for the camera (just Google for this firmware as I cannot put a link here). That firmware adds additional features to the camera but more importantly, disables this power shut off. Now with the updated firmware and the Ulanzi power bank, I am able to shoot for long periods with no issues.
I am very satisfied with this GoPro and hope to finally be able to just focus on capturing footage instead of fiddling with camera and battery to just keep it operational. Highly recommended (with the caveats above).

The GoPro camera has been the standard of action shooting and thousands of extreme people trust this device to shoot their exploits.
However, the company understands that in addition to professionals, there are also ordinary users who just want to have a reliable action camera. It should shoot high-quality videos, it can be attached anywhere, it is small, strong and easy to use.
This is exactly what the new, eleventh version of GoPro turned out to be. And although outwardly it does not differ much from the previous, the main changes are hidden under the plastic case: the camera has acquired a larger sensor for better resolution, an improved level of video stabilization and the widest viewing angles
There has never been such a fancy, but at the same time easy-to-use action camera in the world.
