GoPro has announced its new Hero 11 Black camera, which has a larger sensor and is also capable of shooting up to 8:7 aspect ratio and 5.3K or 16:9 resolution in HyperView mode. Ironically, the biggest news is the arrival of a smaller and less expensive version of the camera, the GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini, available since October.
The novelty is a compact action camera that lacks both preview screens. The main control tool for Hero 11 Black Mini is the GoPro Quik app. One screen, though, is a tiny display next to the record button that lets you see the resolution, frame rate, battery life, and remaining shooting time.
The Black Mini camera weighs 133g – 20g lighter than the older Hero 11 . It is a few millimeters taller and deeper, but about 27% thinner. According to GoPro, the Mini is about 13% smaller in volume and weight. Additional mounts on the bottom and back make it easier to place the camera at different angles.

The GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini’s video shooting options are the same as the larger camera: same sensor and GP2 processor, 10-bit recording, almost every combination of resolution and frame rate. HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilization system is automatically applied to compensate for shaking. Both cameras support GoPro’s new night effects.
The Easy Controls feature on both cameras opens up a simplified user interface on a screen that doesn’t overwhelm you with information. The Pro Controls mode brings back the Hero 10 interface.
Unlike the GoPro Hero 11 Black, the Mini’s 1500 mAh battery is non-removable, the camera has no picture mode (though you can still extract frames from video), no GPS, and no stereo sound. There is also no delayed recording, scheduled capture, video looping, or webcam mode. A non-removable battery may not be suitable for many users – it cannot be replaced in the field.
Mini is $100 cheaper than Hero 11: it costs $299.98 for subscribers of the branded service and $399.99 separately. Regular camera available Sept. 14 – Mini launches Oct. 25 for subscribers, and then at an unspecified date in regular retail.
