    Excellent Camera, Much improved video quality from the Hero 9 I had. Small but durable. I personally can do without the double screens of the "bigger" GoPro's so the Mini works good in my use. One thing to note is that thismodel does not have any GPS so if you like to have the overlays and that kind of info, look at the bigger versions.

    My family and I enjoy GoPro cameras but this one is certainly not their best for what I am looking for. The price is lower and size may be favorable for some. This camera does not have the screen to view what is being recorded. As always, I love Best Buy's warranty program where I bought 2 out of the 3 GoPro cameras.

    It’s not a bad camera. Just it gets warm fast and the battery life isn’t the best.

    Constantly Overheats

    Ive owned a lot of GoPros over the years and have four of these 11 Minis. I bought them all for a specific project. Each one has been absolutely useless for shooting anything over perhaps 15 mins in length, in any setting over 1080P. Even at 2K, all four cameras consistently overheat and shut off. They get so hot you can almost burn your fingers just touching them. Absolute GARBAGE. I am now stuck with four expensive paperweights. On the bright side, I guess I can use them as space heaters this winter. AVOID THESE THINGS.

    It's a good little camera but lacks a lot. I bought this thinking I could mount it on my motorcycle helmet and take it on the road with me. Didn't need a screen since I was going to mount it and go. The battery life was around 30 min to 40 most times. Very disappointing. The heat out here might have to do with that. During the summer we get peak temperatures of 130 degrees. Anything over 90 degrees, the camera will shut off to prevent overheating within 5 minutes of being on. Not ideal if you live in a place where summer lasts almost 7 months out of the year. Not being able to change the battery really does take points away from it as well.

    Best action camera for FPV

    Perfect HD recording solution for FPV drone hobbyist. I'm really enjoying the 2.7K 240 FPS shots with this camera. I have not had any issues with overheating but this could be because it sits on my drone with plenty of airflow. Gopro should release a "bones" version of this cameras as they did with the hero 10 bones. It would be appreciated by the FPV community.

    Scooter Dashcam

    I use this as a dashcam for my e-scooter commute to work. I hit one button to start recording and then hit the button again to turn it off. Video is great, can pick out license plates without issue. Every couple of days I connect to it and delete all the videos. Only annoying thing is that they really push the paid subscription in the app. Otherwise, this thing works great for the price.

    Price is good but that's about it. Battery last about 35 minutes at lowest setting. Gets very hot when in use. I do like the app and the ability to not have to scroll through the camera. I will be returning it though.

    I like it but I don't love it. The battery does not last long at all. Also, I should have purchased the one with the screen. I actually do regret this purchase. I knew what I needed and I settled for this one. I could've just used my phone.

    Works really well. While this is not the latest model, it's still enough for all the things you probably would do with a GoPro. Got a good deal, and the cost-benefit was great.

    I really liked the idea of having a smaller version of the GoPro 11 since I use it as my camera system for aerial photos and videos. The smaller size and less weight would’ve been an advantage for me. However, the complexity of just getting it to pair with my phone, my tablet, was not only difficult, but I couldn’t do it. The instructions and/or directions are completely nonexistent with this device. I called the GoPro technical department twice and they couldn’t figure it out either. You know it’s bad when GoPro tells you to take it back to the store. I’m a huge GoPro fan and user of many models and I absolutely love the 9 and the 11…the full size versions.

    Bought this camera for training purposes with the Fire Department and so far I am impressed with the quality and clarity of the videos I have made thus far. I would recommend this device to anyone
