@@TheLoamRanger really great camera test and review. I am really excited about the Mini, bummed it has built in battery as I run my Hero10 w/o battery inside and a USB external battery for cooler longer run times. Really helps w/ Texas summer heat. Don't really ever use the displays, either phone or QR codes for changing settings.
I didnt even notice much of a difference between the 8 and 11 when they were next to each other. Gopro hasn't had any significant upgrades since the 7. Snore gopro. I am curious about the 11 mini though
Same, he was acting like it was a huge improvement but I legit couldn't tell. Probably matters to video-heads but for regular people why spend the $$ for tiny improvements?
@@bigslacker666 you can probably tell when you're watching the actual video files, but when it's put through the RUclips compression and you're watching on your phone all the details are lost.
The 11 mini from what I understand is the exact same as the 11 black just with no screens and a mount on the bottom and the back. Also it has an integrated battery I believe.
watching this video made me feel better about my 8. I feel like the only take away was the 11 was slightly more realistic in color, the FOV, and stability/shutter speed of course. But nowhere significant enough to notice unless you told someone, unless you really have an eye for it.
Is it necessary to put a case on the gopro to drive on similar routes? I'm afraid that if the camera gets hit with something it will break the lens cover or the screen.
I was thinking the same thing. I kept gravitating over to the Hero 8 video. During his ride down, the 11 looked darker which caused it to have less detail.
Yup, this just locked me in for another year for my 8 black. Looked sharper, and brighter in the video, and with youtubes compression its honestly hard to see the difference anyway. Battery life has not been a problem as after about an hour of recording im down to take a break and swap batteries.
8 Black looked better to me. (At 2:50). Cleaner frames, no overall blur. Viewed on a 4K 10-bit display. Honestly, the Hypersmooth at 8:46 (with 16x ND) seems to me to be too blurry. Noise aside. The motion blur is great, I know that's important for action, but it's (IMHO) too much. I'd dial it back - maybe an 8x ND? Or less? The footage at 10:23 looks pretty good to me (a lot of artifacts, but not super noticeable when playing the video, only when paused). I'm getting an 11, upgrading form a 9. Should be an improvement, and I cannot wait to play with the settings. I primarily shoot flat and grade in FCP, and I've been VERY happy with my 9 settings (from your video a few years ago). Thanks for all the hard work, I appreciate your reviews and info!
Good review! Will we see a comparison against DJI Action 3? You are one of the few to specify the settings you compare at which is an important detail.
i have the 8 Black and i don't see a big progression with the 11 ...the only reason would be the new battery because I use it often in the cold. I think, that GoPro need also a optical stabilization, a bit bigger sensor and more than 130 Mps to capture all details at fast runs.
Personally I thought the sound was better on the GoPro than the Insta. The insta sounded "tinny" to me, kinda like old analog 70s music. Really impressed with how far the Insta has come compared to their last version. More competition in the market the better!
Hero 8 for the win, lol! The Hero 11 higher shutter speed did look nice though, and would be good for pulling stills out of the video footage, but otherwise I feel like quality isn't improving much now. I think you would see the difference in edge cases such as low light or at higher resolutions, but overall I don't see enough difference. What you're shooting and the story you're telling in a video is going to make a way bigger difference than what camera you're shooting with now.
Gopro11 vs Insta360 RS video pls. Was gonna buy insta360 rs soon then this got release, im into mtb as well and wanting to get the 3rd person view of the insta360, but now im in a dilemma, help pls.
X3 vs Hero 11 was a really interesting test. Since I also snowboard, I'll probably go with the Insta360 if it can handle an external mic for better audio (I didn't actually like the audio on the test).
I never owned a GoPro before. I’m going for a 1month trip to the Philippines in December and snowboarding in March 2023. I also need an action camera while I do my auto detailing videos. I’m leaning more towards between GoPro10 or 11?. What do you guys think?
Excellent review and comparisons as always. Was thinking much smaller upgrades, but the 8x7 and Hyperview modes are killer. Already ordered mine. So which mode do you find yourself preferring for POV? 8x7 with manual editing or Hyperview for the simplicity? Given the nature of your biking shots, Hyperview seems to make sense, but I'm wondering more for general use POV where the distortion is more noticeable.
Good video and thanks for your great effort to put it together. I have never owned any action camera but have always wanted one. For so long I've been following the hay wagon until last week I decided to finally graze. I'm excited to see what I can do with the Hero 11 and the memories I'll be able to create. I just need to make sure the settings are where they ought to be based on other's experiences.
i am still in doubt, can you let me know how it is holding up? I currently have a hero 9 but want to upgrade to x3 or hero 11 because I need a bigger range of field.
have you considered the "mini" version of the GoPro 11? it seems to be a great choise considering its most likely lighter and less of a profile (hopefully nice for mounting under the visor)
From watching, I noticed the 11 on your preferred settings seemed to have a crisper image, and I could catch significantly more details like, individual leafs on trees and more details on the tree trunks. Both the 10 and 360 had more blur overall, but ofc, both cameras did their job
I prefer the Audio in the GoPro Hero 11 over the Insta 360. Although the Insta 360 is louder and the voice has more treble, the sound of the Insta 360 is more harsh and more distorted. Sometimes a more dull sound that is more smooth and more pleasant to the ear is better than a crispy but distorted sound.
Hero 10 is still good if you dont need 10 bit , but grading the hero 11 is so much better. Also I can shoot 1 video both for IG and YT without having to mount my gopro vertically for social media
Just concidering buying a hero 12 to replace my hero 8. When I look at hero 8's horizontal superview FOV it says 122 degrees. When I look at hero 11 and 12 hyperview horizontal FOV, it also says 122 degrees? Is it actually any wider than the older cameras? Or is it just taller and squished? Strangely it seems that hero 11 and 12 superview is slightly narrower than previous models. Possibly to make hyperview look like a better upgrade than it really is?
What wind muffler are you using? I've looked for all kinds of things: wind diffusers, mini wind muffs, etc. I can't find anything that looks like a mini dead cat/stick-on that seems like it could be cut-to-fit. Help? Other than that, I have an X3 and a Hero11 Mini (plus a ton of others) and got the Mini for my Avata. I wish there was a safe way to put the X3 on my drone (also have a Mavic Pro and Mavic 2 Pro). Too much interference with GPS signal from what I've seen.
Thanks for making this video because it further confirms my decision to stick with my 9. I also prefer the color of the 360 vs the 11 because in my opinion it was more natural where the 11 looks a bit saturated and the pine barks was more red and mushy than natural. Again, thank you
What I learned is that the insta 360 x3 does a pretty dang good job compared to a GoPro while ALSO being a 360 camera allowing you to get fun/creative shots
Waiting for my Insta360 X3 to also test against my Hero10. I also found a RUclipsrs that makes an "L" bracket for the X3 so it can sit horizontal on the chesty.
Got the 10, wont upgrade till 14-15 when then the new processor comes out Think if they stay with this processor for 12-13 will end up like 8-9 and crash more and more if the ad new feature like 6k or even 8k
Was hoping you’d test the horizon tracking…I’ve got a Karma Grip and the comfort of knowing the camera will always be level/centered on the horizon, no matter what my body position, is suuuuuper nice. Almost always wanna run the Grip.
Nice test, but the camera is a huge dissapointment. Why can't gopro make a camera with a bigger sensor?!? I know mtb'ers are more in need of low light performance than many other sports, but that's basically the only thing that sucks on action cameras these days.
for a POV head/chin mount type and sort of multi purpose use (speed skating mainly, skiing and mountain biking) would you chose the hero 11 or the 360x3? I find it hard to make a final decide.
Damn we’re already at the 11? Must be amazing cause I still have my 5 black and works flawlessly. GoPro makes a great action camera. Full recommendations
I'm still rocking the 7, so probably will upgrade again to the 11. Mini looks really interesting. I think I might run the Mini on my chin mount and then keep the 7 for a 2nd angle option.
@@805mctrailrider8 i’ve been looking into the GoPro 11 mini but not sure about wind noise reduction. I figured use using the winds later on this but just wanted to make sure that they didn’t update the auto wind noise or something. Because his footage definitely sounded good!
@@JaredHoff His quality is really good. Wind slayer is the best honestly because anything thst gopro does to get rid of the wind will make the audio terrible
@@805mctrailrider8 I’m always like king for ways to improve my GoPro settings. I’ve done a lot of back-to-back tests and had some issues with the windslayer wearing out quick and not sounding as good as some other options. But can’t deny this footage sounds great so maybe I need to reassess. That’s kind of why I was wondering exactly what he’s using.
@@JaredHoff i do the same thing. I run a hero 7 right now and wind slauer is perfect for it. Thats wierd you have problems with it tho, i have never had a problem with it
Someone will explain this better, but simplified...if you're opening and closing something over a camera sensor 60 times versus 24 times, more light is going to make it in at the slower rate. There's a limit to that, and it's based on what our eyes can perceive, and some people are more sensitive than others. Light is the friend of the action cams, and it's UNREAL how much better footage from places like Moab and Sedona are than videos shot in dense canopy. It's not even close, and a 1080p video in the desert will look better than 4K in even a moderately dense forest, simply due to that fact. So you could run 60fps in the desert, and get away with it, and it would look "cleaner" without that slight bit of image blur in 24fps. But by contrast, do the same thing in low light, and the 4K 24 would kill the 4K at 60fps in terms of "clean" video...less artifact, noise, etc. It's all related to lighting, and that's a limitation that will forever be present, and they'll continue to try to overcome it.
Until they come out with a larger sensor I'm afraid the IS just doesn't work in the dark eastern woods where I usually ride (think Brevard area). It just turns to mush on my Hero 9 no matter what I try, it does however work beautifully in good light, especially out in places like Moab
Both the hero 11 and the action 3 have upgraded bigger sensors, actually first ever sensor size upgrade ever (for the GoPro atleast). So it's a tad larger and theoretically better for low light. Not enough tho)
Cheers for all the GoPro Vids, super helpful! Do you happen to know why when you shoot Raw Photos and then go to download them from the GoPro media library (subscription storage) they only come back as a jpeg? I'd love to edit the raw file but I can't find it?
As trendy as it is to find fault in anything new, I sincerely felt like the 11 neutered the "action" a bit. It's subtle for sure, but ti just seemed to tame down what I was watching while the previous model replicated the speed and captured the experience well. Again, subtle. As far as image quality, I honestly don't think we're going to get better. What will happen is that it'll just get easier to get the best footage the device is capable of, further removing the need for expertise. And that's the point. That's what people want. The ones who aren't as savvy want to look as good as those who are (not a complaint. I'm one of the not so savvy). Not at all a criticism, just observation.
Great test, side by side.Thank you. Question for me will be what will be the resolution and aspect ratio of the gopro Max lens mod when used on the 11. I use it in all my videos on my hero 9 en hero 10. Mostly because I want to have super view with horizon lock on (my channel focus on the beauty of the nature I be riding in and less on the action). On the 10 and 9 I use 4:3 aspect ration 2.7 K what is the highest resolution possible.
Thanks for the review. I'd love to see a video on just the 10-bit color and flat profile. How much more detail do we get prior to color grading. If they put a 1" sensor in, this would be a no brainer upgrade to all prior GoPro's. Your comparison of the Hero 8 vs 11 in one of the shots shows that there's not much difference in what you can do with the 11 which is disturbing.
Nice one! I was waiting for the low down on the new 11! So here's a question... would you upgrade from the 9 to the 11? or the 10 to the 11? Is it worth it?
Thank you for really putting the HERO11 Black through it all 💪
And in doing so, showing everyone that the 11 is not worth the upgrade! Even if you have an 8.
@@dennispikephotography so true

Both the hero 11 and the action 3 have upgraded bigger sensors, actually first ever sensor size upgrade ever (for the GoPro atleast). So it's a tad larger and theoretically better for low light. Not enough tho)
Cheers for all the GoPro Vids, super helpful! Do you happen to know why when you shoot Raw Photos and then go to download them from the GoPro media library (subscription storage) they only come back as a jpeg? I'd love to edit the raw file but I can't find it?
As trendy as it is to find fault in anything new, I sincerely felt like the 11 neutered the "action" a bit. It's subtle for sure, but ti just seemed to tame down what I was watching while the previous model replicated the speed and captured the experience well. Again, subtle. As far as image quality, I honestly don't think we're going to get better. What will happen is that it'll just get easier to get the best footage the device is capable of, further removing the need for expertise. And that's the point. That's what people want. The ones who aren't as savvy want to look as good as those who are (not a complaint. I'm one of the not so savvy). Not at all a criticism, just observation.
I think the thing that affects the feel/speed, is the wider FOV being squashed into 16/9

Thanks man! Much appreciated.
What are the best settings for the hero 10?
Can you make a review video on DJI Action 3
Great test, side by side.Thank you. Question for me will be what will be the resolution and aspect ratio of the gopro Max lens mod when used on the 11. I use it in all my videos on my hero 9 en hero 10. Mostly because I want to have super view with horizon lock on (my channel focus on the beauty of the nature I be riding in and less on the action). On the 10 and 9 I use 4:3 aspect ration 2.7 K what is the highest resolution possible.
Thanks! It looks to still be 2.7k with the lens mod.
@@TheLoamRanger okay but will the aspect ratio increase from 4:3 to 8:7. (I hope so)
I prefer faster shutter. It enables me to make photos out of movie frames that are sharp :)
Great comparison, can't wait for the guide, they are always extremely useful.
Still think the insta360 better cause of the mic and the 360 if u wanna use it
maybe next episode can try dji action 2 vs gopro 11 .
Fuck yes, I've been asking for a square(er) sensor for a while. I look forward to when mine comes in.
Thanks for the review. I'd love to see a video on just the 10-bit color and flat profile. How much more detail do we get prior to color grading. If they put a 1" sensor in, this would be a no brainer upgrade to all prior GoPro's. Your comparison of the Hero 8 vs 11 in one of the shots shows that there's not much difference in what you can do with the 11 which is disturbing.
11 is tempting but i'll stick with my Hero 10 with Max Lens Mod i'm happy with my set up.
What trail were you riding?
The mini looks great as well. 👍
Nice one! I was waiting for the low down on the new 11! So here's a question... would you upgrade from the 9 to the 11? or the 10 to the 11? Is it worth it?
That’s what I’m wondering. I have the 10
@@silverbackshooting1563 Yeah I’m on the 9. But apart from 4K 120fps I don’t really see the need for an upgrade.
I'm still using the 7 black and looking for an upgrade. Any suggestions?
@@jmeib the 11 I guess hha
better wait for hero 12 or 13..😄
