GoPro Hero11 Black

What's the story? The Hero11 Black introduces a sensor with an almost square 8:7 aspect ratio, capturing footage that can be losslessly cropped at high quality for YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok or whatever other format you want. Not that you'd know to look at it: the design is practically identical to its predecessor. But that just means it's still compatible with almost all existing accessories.

The flip-out feet make it seriously easy to mount and its light weight build is just as durable as past GoPros; you can submerge it as deep as 10m without the need for any additional underwater housing.

Is it any good? It's not just the camera's interface that's been streamlined to make it easier to use.

GoPro's Quik software is simpler and more powerful than ever now, so chopping up videos into different sizes isn't as daunting as before.

With HyperSmooth stabilisation you can expect footage with best-in-class smoothness; but despite some very smart night-shooting features, low-light results still leave a lot to be desired.

GoPro's new batteries help the Hero11 Black last longer than before, but if you're out for a day of shooting you'll still want to pack spares or a powerbank.
