The best action camera in 2023
I won’t make a detailed review of this product – there’s enough of them out there. I’ll just make a few simple points I learnt while using it and my observations about most commonly raised issues about GoPro 11.
If you want to describe what’s better in this camera against some competitors
– it’s waterproof without special casing (but use common sense, check the battery door is sealed, don’t do deep dives etc.)
– it has the best adjustable stabilizer of all action cameras I’ve seen so far (stable but not looking unnatural)
– it’s quality built like an action camera should be
– it’s the most popular camera out there and has the biggest amount of accessories made for it. Other brands just followed with their products
– it’s super simple to use compared with some other cameras
– it has the best picture quality out there. This is a challenging statement, but each comparison video I’ve seen, even made by followers of other brands, wasn’t really trying to dispute that part, plus side by side videos simply spoke for themselves
– you still have to have some skills to get cinematic quality videos out of it, but it has loads of settings to explore and equally good auto modes
The annoying things (with my thoughts on them)?
– it needs a mod to be able to install an external mic. Not essential because the built-in one is really good, but that lack of functionality is deliberate to get more money out of customers
– battery lasts for around 1.5h (in 4K 30fps), which doesn’t sound like much, but then again I have rarely seen anyone uploading a longer video. It’s an action camera not a vlogging one. Besides original spare batteries are really cheap
– the overheating problem. This is the most brought up issue around GoPro’s in general. I personally haven’t experienced it shutting down on me, and I have filmed a 4h constant video (with 3 batteries in total, but just replaced and recording again) in 4K 30fps. And I managed to keep it the whole time in black silicone casing too. The truth is – all high quality, miniature action cameras heat up when using high resolutions over long time. Keeping them still or in casing doesn’t help either – they’re designed to be cooled by air while moving. Use them properly and you won’t get them shutting down on you (like trying to shoot a high quality video right after a software update). Again – don’t buy an action camera, if what you’re really after is a vlogging camera
The real issues I found are around what you will experience in any high quality, sophisticated electronic device – software bugs. If they are occasional and get addressed in software updates – I’m happy to forgive and forget.
One issue I found in my GoPro is that sometimes it will do funny things when using the locked horizon setting. You’re best using that feature if you really need it, not whenever you use the camera. I had it set up on a mini tripod and the recording looked like the camera kept moving on its own…
Sometimes when you switch it on, it won’t load properly (only happened once with mine really). The picture will look funny, the touch screen won’t be responsive. A quick restart and all is sorted.
In general – I honestly think I made the right choice. Just a quick snapshot of why I haven’t picked another action camera. I was also considering
– DJI pocket 2 – a great vlogging camera more than an action one, but flimsy and not waterproof without the casing, which is huge and uncomfortable to use
– DJI Osmo Action 3 – continued issues with focus and unnatural stabilizer, in general worse than the GoPro (although a bit cheaper)
– Insta 360 (any model really) – great action cameras that give you powerful editing features. But pretty much every upload ends with huge amount of complicated post-processing, because it records in 360 degrees the whole time. Also not as rigid built as the Gopro
– any non-market leading action camera – a range of issues from weak stabilizer, focusing problems, lack of different recording modes, poor, buggy software, discontinued updates etc.
– any larger cameras like mirrorless etc. – exactly that, they’re larger and not action cameras
I hope my observations will help you pick your preferred action camera. I hesitated for quite a while before I made my choice. Why GoPro 11 and not 10 or 9? They are only marginally cheaper and have less features, but for that simply watch one of the detailed tech reviews of this camera on YouTube.
Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.

Brilliant Image and Sound Quality
I bought this to replace an aging Hero 7, after a very brief and foolish dalliance with a cheap, Chinese alternative.
This is quite a bit bigger than the Hero 7, affording slightly larger displays, front and rear – not huge, but nice. The front screen can be used as a monitor or as a status display.
The 11 offers 5K with image stabilisation throughout. As well as different resolutions and frame rates, the camera also has a number of aspect ratios.
The battery is bigger, and although it does have a quite decent life, you will need to find spares. The picture quality is brilliant – at 4 and 5K, colours pop.
There are 2 microphones – top and front – and their quality is great. Very clear voice pickup. I use a foam cover on the camera as a windshield. It reduces the wind noise, but important sounds like commentary are picked up perfectly.
Unlike earlier models, there isn’t an option to plug the camera into a computer and transfer your media. You do actually have to remove the card and put it in a card reader.
By default, GoPro expects you to use their cloud service. Pug the camera into the mains and it will connect to your network and begin uploading files to GoPro. The camera gets very hot and it’s a long process. If you take lots of clips of only a few seconds each, then the process would be quicker. This auto-upload feature also reformats your card once the upload is complete.
GoPros can be quirky, touch wood, I’ve not. had an issue with the 11 yet. I swore I’d never pay GoPro prices again, but I’m glad I did.

DO NOT BUY FROM VYPER-GLOBAL
The product is OK, but do not buy from VYPER-GLOBAL. Delivery was meant to take 2 days, but it’s over a week and I still have not got the item.

Fun fun fun
Set the frame rate to 60fps if you want excellent video and get a decent size FAST card.

Doesn’t perform as described
I purchased this model for underwater work and making star trails videos.
Having purchased a micro C USB compatible door, I attached a power-packed to make a star trail video. The camera turned itself off within 20 minutes, stating it was overheating.
I took it to the Maldives for some underwater work and noticed a white band of light on some clips. I also found some fine sand getting stuck in the sides of the lens.
I normally use Gopro8s. I only purchased this model for the start rail video capability and it was a big let down. The item has been returned.

Horrible
Was very excited when it arrived as was going to go holiday on the following day. Using it around the garden playing with settings after 15 minutes it was so hot felt like it would explode, i turned it off and watched some youtube videos tried again lasted 17minutes this time. I put it back in the packaging and left it in london had to just use my iPhone on the holiday very very disappointed .

Overheating issues
The GoPro 11 hero black has loads of features but it has a major issue which has bugged the GoPro camera brand which has never been addressed and that is over heating and shut down. Your special footage is presiouse and all the effort to set up that money shot can be ruined by premature shut down through the overheating shut down issue. Using a media mod or waterproof housing will make the overheating issue more likely too. So keep these issues in mind when choosing an action camera and ask yourself, do I need more than a 4k action camera because there are much cheaper and more reliable action cameras out ther. I have the Hero 10 and 11 black which I use for short vlogs, I don’t think I will be sticking with the GoPro brand because the overheating issue has not been addressed.
