I got it used from Beat Buy. The description was excellent with all original parts. However, the lens and the front and back screens all have scratches, very disappointed. I ended up returning it back to Best Buy right away.

Despite all the features and upgrades, this camera is useless from a professional standpoint. Used it in an air conditioned environment and stationary, within 10 min it shut down from overheating. Poor design.

I thought this is what I needed for my travel case but I just found the operating system unnecessarily complex. For the cost, I returned it.

So the mic sounds terrible when you use it! The camera by itself sounds amazing so I feel it would have been better just to buy the camera! As far as quility its better than my 7 white! So camera wise 5 stars as for the whole package ill o ly give 3 because it definitely needs some work on that mic

Great Camera and Suite - Some Poor Design Choices
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
GoPro has established itself as the one to beat in the realm of action/lifestyle cameras. They make outstanding versatile cameras. And while you can find thrilling and flashy captures of snowboarding and whatnot on their site, I think the best advertising they have for their products can be found on their YouTube channel: see GoPro: Pelican Learns to Fish (filmed on a GoPro HERO4) and GoPro: Lions – The New Endangered Species? (filmed on a GoPro HERO3). The video captures from much older cameras hold up beautifully and GoPro technology and video quality has escalated SIGNIFICANTLY since then. Recent cameras have truly mind boggling capabilities. And the new HERO11 is stellar in almost every way.
This new offering boasts a few new features that differentiate it from the HERO10: a larger sensor, 10-bit color, improved video stabilization, better battery life, and a new 8:7 aspect ratio capture that allows you to select video/photo cropping that best suits your audience (think: Instagram vs. YouTube – Vertical vs. Horizontal).
The options for this camera are a little bit overwhelming for people like me who are unfamiliar with GoPro cameras. There is NO product manual included with the camera (or with this suite of tools) - the full manual is nearly 160 pages in the English-only version so I can understand the difficulty in providing this in multiple languages. However, there are plenty of resources online to hold your hand and get you started quickly with the navigation and features on this magnificent camera.
The base camera without any accessories is waterproof to 30+ feet. And while this is a very desirable feature, it also leads to one of my strongest dislikes about the design of the camera itself. To charge the camera, you must either remove a side panel to charge below the inserted battery (which is not locked-in) or use a separate side panel that does not appear (?) to make the camera’s charging port waterproof. This full panel keeps the charging port protected from water, but there are plenty of options that could have protected this port on the exterior of the camera. It is such a crazy inconvenience that I cannot understand how it is part of a release from a company with over 10 years of experience with these cameras.
Included with this extended creator edition is a media mod – an enclosure for the camera which provides stellar ,clear audio capture, and ports for charging and for an external microphone input – the enclosure closes around the camera with the side panel off (the same panel that must be removed to charge the battery directly). But since the media mod ports are waterproof, I don’t understand why some simpler port protection could have been in place for the base camera. Why not simply have a base camera that charges directly and can also be enclosed in a case that provides additional options?
The camera mounts on stabilizing units by way of pull down flaps. The creator edition includes a multipurpose grip/tripod which can be charged separately to provide extended battery life to the HERO11. The tripod, when connected directly via USB-C to the camera, is supposed to allow you to control the camera by way of buttons on the grip – I was never able to get any of these controls to work through an established USB connection. However, the grip can also be used to control the camera via Bluetooth (which works completely once the camera is turned on and connected). The grip/tripod is very well constructed and is easily the best selling point of this suite of items in this creator edition. But I’m disappointed that it can’t control the camera directly when connected.
The camera sports some truly impressive features for low-light and night photography and time-lapse video, but these options really need use of a tripod. Night captures can be amazing but tend to require longer shutter speeds that aren’t useful for human subjects. A curious and welcome addition to this kit is a rechargeable led light with an attachable diffuser to provide fill-in light for close subjects in low-light conditions.
Because this camera has front-facing and rear-facing screens, even this new extended-life battery seems a little bit weak – especially for people who are much more active than I am. I’m getting usable base camera time of under an hour – with the charged grip attached, I can get closer to three hours. I really think a complete creator edition might be better served by an extra battery. Usable times I’m getting are considerably short of advertised operating estimates.
Overall, this is an outstanding five-star camera with some external problems that make it something less than five-star recommendable (at least to me). But as for the photo/video capabilities of the GoPro HERO11, this is absolutely the one to beat (and, for sure, the one that any other contender is going to be compared to). My own objections to technical details aside....there are countless GoPro videos online that capture lifestyles way more exciting than my own and I have never seen a single one that I would argue is an inauthentic representation of what this brand is capable of.

EXTREMELY powerful light for such a tiny accessory, the powerbank that the creator bundle comes with is phenomenal, runs so smooth. Audio is pretty terrible for such a great camera but if you buy a shotgun mic, it’s absolutely golden

This camera is LOADED with features and comes with everything that a creator/enthusiast could ask for (gimbal/light/wind screen/media mount). The gimbal works as a built in tripod and a Bluetooth device to help control the camera which comes in handy in all type of situations. The camera takes amazing video/pictures with 10 bit color turned on you have over 1 billion color shades to make editing so much easier. I recently used it at wedding event just to take a few personal videos at a outdoor function and the colors looked amazing, the contrast with the dark sky and DJ lights along with the decoration was amazing. I was so impressed by the detail on different items/areas in the picture, the 27 MP camera/sensor works perfectly. Now the biggest things that makes GoPro one of the best at what they do is the software and how easy everything is to use. For instance as with any product there is always an update when you open it now a days and at times the updates are a pain, this was not the case here. The updated downloaded and installed easily and without issue and after that the gimbal updated by it self when it was plugged into the GoPro, couldn’t have been any easier. The settings in the GoPro are simple and its such a plus that the app allows you to change them instead of having to only adjust them from the camera screen. Speaking of the app (Quik) its great and very easy to use and the cloud feature are a nice to have feature, i personally enjoy the Mural portion of the app which groups together your selected videos/pictures and creates little videos for you to view/edit. The free version works well but the subscription does have its perks to help with editing but I wouldn’t say its something that’s going to replace your laptop. GoPro does a great job with their software and has improved on how well hypersmooth works and added a new “horizon lock” feature which locks the sky in place regardless of how your holding the camera. I know this may sound gimmicky but its anything but that, horizon lock does wonders when shooting moving action. There are so many time lapse features to mess with that it would make this review even longer than it is lol but the features in Timelapse make it so easy to do certain things (startrails,vehicle lights) that otherwise would take some time and know how. Like I said this little camera is loaded with features and is a must have.
