GoPro is one of the leading brands in action cameras and has just introduced a new series, the HERO11 Black that arrive in three versions: standard, Creator and Mini.
The most outstanding novelty of the HERO11 Black is a new 1/1.9″ sensor capable of capturing 10-bit color at resolutions up to 5.3K at 60 frames per second or 4K at 120 frames per second. The new sensor can work with 8:7 aspect ratios, which will make it easier for users to crop 16:9 cinematic shots and extra tall 9:16 vertical shots from the same video footage.
The new sensor also enables a digital lens call HyperView, which offers the widest 16:9 angle video available on a GoPro camera to date. The goal is to make shots of activities like biking down a mountain look even faster.
All cameras in the HERO11 Black family launch the technology HyperSmooth 5.0 that promises greater stability in videos than previous generations. It also includes an in-camera horizon lock to keep footage steady even if the camera rotates a full 360 degrees during capture. GoPro has included three new nighttime time-lapse presets for capturing star trails or vehicle light trails in its new cameras.
Highlight the Hero 11 Black Mini model for being different from its two older sisters. It offers all the same performance of the HERO11 Black in a significantly smaller form factor and a simple one-button design. The ‘Mini’ skips the video preview screens and adds additional mounting tabs to the rear of the camera body.
Regarding autonomy, the manufacturer has improved its battery technology enduro promising a significantly longer recording time, especially in locations with cool and moderate temperatures. Overall design-wise, they look identical to last year’s HERO 10 Black.
