What’s Changed? The GoPro HERO11 Black features the same 5.3K video-recording resolution first featured on the HERO10, but can now capture still images at 27MP thanks to a new CMOS image sensor. Improved HyperSmooth 5.0 image stabilization ensures more steady footage while not using a gimbal and includes horizon-lock technology that helps ensure your video is lined up properly. When you need extra support, this GoPro is compatible with the same hinge-style accessories as GoPros past and does not require a frame or case thanks to the mounting fingers that tuck into the bottom of the housing. Wondering whether a previous-gen accessory is compatible with the HERO11? Check the chart!

High Frame Rates, High Resolutions. The HERO11 retains the G2 chip first introduced in the HERO10, which provides high frame rates at higher resolutions. Record up to 60 fps at 5.3K, up to 120 fps at 4K, and all the way up to 240 fps at 2.7K, all with 24.7MP stills from video. Like its predecessor, the HERO11 is waterproof down to 33 feet without an additional housing.

1080p Streaming. Use the GoPro HERO11 as a webcam with 1080p streaming capabilities. When connected to the cloud footage can be uploaded while you shoot so you’re always covered. With only one USB-C input and no additional video or audio I/O, however, your connectivity options are limited.

Same App and Shooting Options. While it’s worth noting that the Hypersmooth image-stabilization system has been improved, GoPro’s smartphone apps remain largely unchanged for the HERO11 camera and offer familiar features like TimeWarp, HDR photos, and night lapse video while letting users control shooting modes like burst and scheduled capture. Photos can still be captured in JPEG or GoPro’s RAW format.

Updated Generations Available. Although we love the feature-packed HERO11, we do have the GoPro HERO 12 available at a comparable price. The HERO12 features improved battery life and extended Bluetooth capabilities.
