Where do you start with one of the most popular products ever conceived?I finally took the plunge after all these years by getting the Hero 11, and I’m happy to say that I’m not disappointed.The ability to record at high resolution is great.The ability to configure for frame rate, resolution, image field, and multiple other customizations is almost dizzying with how many ways to adjust it.I have alreay used it for one video of myself (using the head strap) successfully hunting a coyote.The picture quality is excellent, and it captured the entire hunt just as I had hoped.I have since learned that there is a preset that allows less of the “fisheye” effect when recording, so I have switched to that for most of my purposes.Using that setting, I am able to get about 75 minutes of uninterrupted recording time, and operating at this setting makes the video much less distorted at the (no big deal for the style of recording that I want) expense of a narrower field of view.Some things to know about the GoPro (or other action cameras) is that this type of camera can be susecptible to overheating, especially at max resolution and frame rate, with the camera moving (image stabilization working hard), and with poor or no air flow to cool the camera.I have not had any of those problems, but then I have been using mine in cooler climate and with moderate frame rate and resolution, but I wanted to inform anyone apprehensive about overheating that there are some ways to avoid that issue.I have researched the overheating issue, and here are some ways to avoid it:1) Use the camera with good air flow or in a cooler environment.2) If possible, run at a more moderate frame rate and resolution.3) If in a very hot or poorly ventilated environment, don’t run for long periods, as action cameras are mostly intended for videos of about ten minutes at a time.4) This one is often overlooked, but a major way to help avoid overheating is to use the recommended class (speed) of microSD card that allows the camera to record with the microSD card able to keep up with the large volume of data being written to it, with GoPro recommending a U3 card.It’s tough to go into all the attributes of what makes a genuine GoPro so popular, but to summarize the basics for of you who don’t already know:1) This is a very rugged piece of gear, with the bare camera (there are hard cases that allow considerably greater waterproof ratings) waterproof down to 33 feet.2) The camera can operate at various resolutions and frame rates, allowing both time lapse and slow motion video.3) It has replaceable batteries, so you can keep spares on hand for long recording sessions.4) The lens defaults to an extremely wide angle view particularly useful for capturing events with fast-moving action or for capturing movement going nearly horizon to horizon; but (as mentioned above) the angle can be adjusted more narrowly for less of the “fisheye” inherent with wide angle lenses.5) The camera body is ruggedized, and it has an integral folding mounting bracket to allow the camera to be attached to one of the huge number of systems that allow the camera to be worn on a hat, on the head via a strap, onto the chest, onto a tripod, to a gimbal, or to just about any other system that can be adapted to the now ubiquitous GoPro mounting system.Yes, this is an expensive piece of gear, but quality often comes with a bit more money spent, and I’m very satisfied with it.Two upgrades to this camera that I would recommend are to get a remote for it (GoPro makes one, but there are third party ones as well) and a silicon lens cover because.The lens covers available are held on by friction, and it’s a bit of a mystery why GoPro doesn’t include one.The main reason that I find the remote a worthy purchase is because it’s particularly useful when having the camera mounted where it’s difficult to activate and be certain that it’s recording, and the remote will power the camera on without having to touch it, start recording with a second press of one of the buttons on the remote, and show the battery charge level of the camera and the time of recording.

The ABSOLUTE best!Wow! I’ve always wanted a GoPro to tale adventures with but I did not know it was going to be this amazing! The picture quality is on point, the image stabilization is super impressive and the GoPro app makes content transfer to your phone seamless! I should have gotten it sooner! You should get this!

The BESTWhat cab I say, the go pros just get better and better. The quality is unmatched as is the versatility and the built in functions like the stabilization are PERFECT. If you never jad one get one. Put it on the dog, the cat, the bike, the motorcycle, the fishing rod the scuba mask, the boat, the drone, ..you get the picture.

Great product but….The product itself is great.I had purchased brand new units (sold and shipped by Amazon) for myself and one for my wife.The 2nd one I received was received exactly as shown in the pictures I took. Not the original packaging, fingerprints all over the unit and accessories. Scuff marks all over the Volta. Everything in the carrying case came exactly as shown in the picture…all over the place.Unacceptable and already submitted for refund.

HERO 11 es la mwjorRecomiendo ampliamente esta versión Hero 11, el video es muy estable en cualquier resolución, aunque por cuestiones de edicion y espacio he terminado grabando todo a 1080p, la uso para grabar caminatas por senderos, charlas al trote y viajes en bicicleta

Great Purchase!Packaging was great and protected the product. The case of the camera has a good quality, however, the little piece al the end of the thread in the zipper only worked once before getting detached but that’s not an issue for me. The camera included the battery and the accessories for mounting the GoPro to a helmet or similar surface. The quality of the videos and picture is great as always! The camera has been working perfectly for over 3 weeks now!

Quality Issues and Defects. Check your Camera! Purchased two of these cameras and immediately noticed differences. The power button on one has a clear tactile feedback and click and the other does not. Even the second button has slightly different sound and feel. Its very hard to describe but you can hear it in the video. For this kind of money, they should be identical.

Thermal RunawayHad the camera for three weeks, had major issues with the software and then the camera (turned off) went into “Thermal Runaway” where the battery heats up “on its own”! I contacted GoPro support and they said they were going to send me a new battery (two weeks later and still hasn’t arrived!). Yesterday I took the camera out for some photos, but it wouldn’t turn on, came back home and placed it on the charger, and it won’t even charge! Thankfully It’s within the return window as it’s going back… What a piece of junk… Do NOT buy.
