The small and compact GoPro Hero5 Session charmed many with its slim and compact cubic body. Without emabrog, GoPro did not repeat the formula again, and many were still pining to see a similar new version. Well, the day has come, and GoPro has managed to offer what you wanted, but significantly improved.
GoPro HERO11 Black Mini
With a square format reminiscent of a hybrid between the GoPro Max and the new HERO11 Black, this HERO11 Black Mini seeks to offer the most compact design possible without losing the recording quality of the new flagship. And that is precisely what many have been asking for for a long time, a camera that is as compact as possible but that does not lose the hallmarks of GoPro. And we are not referring to the adventurous and carefree spirit, but to the incredible image quality and performance that its sensors offer each year.
The result is a camera without screens, neither front nor rear, and the elimination of some modes that not everyone needs. Because there are many athletes who practice adventure sports who limit themselves to preconfiguring the scene with the preset modes, pressing the record button and forgetting about the camera until they complete their journey or jump into the void.
For them, including a screen does not make much sense, since they usually wear the camera attached to a helmet to obtain a first-person view as realistic as possible. Therefore, the design of this HERO11 Mini is as you see in the images.
hassle-free control
Continuing with the pursuit of extreme simplicity, the HERO11 Mini only includes a single button on its body. It will serve to turn it on and start recording, although you can also use the voice commands present in other models of the brand. Its two mounting adapters allow for greater flexibility when it comes to placing the camera on a compatible mount, since fixing tabs have been included on the back of the camera.
Thus, those users who usually wear it on a helmet will now be able to integrate it in a more natural way, and not wear it so much on top of the helmet forced by the lower shoe. In addition to the tab, the back is covered with a heatsink that will better cool the internal components of the camera.
It's a small HERO11 Black
Some minimal functionality has been lost along the way, but most of the essentials are there:
- Image Stabilizer HyperSmooth 5.0 with 360 degree horizon lock.
- Recording in format 5,3K60, 4K120 and 2,7K240 with 24,7MP photos from videos.
- new digital lens HyperView with shots in 16:9 format
- Time Warp 3.0 with 5,3K capture
- Modes of Easy and Pro camera control to simplify the control or have a greater handling of the recording at a creative level.
- enduro battery integrated
The main loss is that does not take photos, since with a single button, the user would not know how to select between one mode and another. The advantage is that thanks to its incredible resolution, we can capture photos from the videos recorded directly from the official application.
How much does it cost?
Losing the screens have allowed this camera to obviously offer a lower price than the HERO11 Black, reaching some interesting $449,98, although if you are a GoPro subscriber you can get it for $349,98.
