watching this video made me feel better about my 8. I feel like the only take away was the 11 was slightly more realistic in color, the FOV, and stability/shutter speed of course. But nowhere significant enough to notice unless you told someone, unless you really have an eye for it.
watching your channel once a year, this time of the year and never disappoint. go hero
Good video and thanks for your great effort to put it together. I have never owned any action camera but have always wanted one. For so long I've been following the hay wagon until last week I decided to finally graze. I'm excited to see what I can do with the Hero 11 and the memories I'll be able to create. I just need to make sure the settings are where they ought to be based on other's experiences.
Moral of the story, hero 8 Black is really all you need
What Ive learned from this is the HERO10 Black I just bought a month or two ago is perfectly fine.

Great comparison, can't wait for the guide, they are always extremely useful.
Excellent review and comparisons as always. Was thinking much smaller upgrades, but the 8x7 and Hyperview modes are killer. Already ordered mine. So which mode do you find yourself preferring for POV? 8x7 with manual editing or Hyperview for the simplicity? Given the nature of your biking shots, Hyperview seems to make sense, but I'm wondering more for general use POV where the distortion is more noticeable.
All I hear is that the 10 just got even cheaper. Bonus. Just in time for my 4 to completely crap out.

Good stuff. Looking to get one and the stabilization looks great for hiking and cycling.
Yup, this just locked me in for another year for my 8 black. Looked sharper, and brighter in the video, and with youtubes compression its honestly hard to see the difference anyway. Battery life has not been a problem as after about an hour of recording im down to take a break and swap batteries.
I'm impressed. Clicking your link! Can't wait to see the Mini in action as well. Hopefully @gopro sent you one of those too!
From watching, I noticed the 11 on your preferred settings seemed to have a crisper image, and I could catch significantly more details like, individual leafs on trees and more details on the tree trunks. Both the 10 and 360 had more blur overall, but ofc, both cameras did their job
Great tests. Thanks for your efforts 😊
Good review! Will we see a comparison against DJI Action 3? You are one of the few to specify the settings you compare at which is an important detail.
X3 vs Hero 11 was a really interesting test. Since I also snowboard, I'll probably go with the Insta360 if it can handle an external mic for better audio (I didn't actually like the audio on the test).
Awesome stuff dude 🤟🔥 Thank you for this 🙏
Hero 8 ! just as good! ill take it
Awesome review, thank you sir! I'm most excited about the horizon lock, does it mess with the resolution/sharpness at all like it did on the 9?
Hyperview is next level🤯🤯👌🙏 well done #GoPro. Amazing shots dude👊👊
I'm curious to see what mountain biking looks like with horizon lock
Your gopro videos are always cool
That last section looked amazing! I felt like I was there!
have you considered the "mini" version of the GoPro 11? it seems to be a great choise considering its most likely lighter and less of a profile (hopefully nice for mounting under the visor)
Awesomely done as usual!

but you cant swap the battery on the mini, why would you go for that one ?
Was hoping you’d test the horizon tracking…I’ve got a Karma Grip and the comfort of knowing the camera will always be level/centered on the horizon, no matter what my body position, is suuuuuper nice. Almost always wanna run the Grip.
Very informative. Do you use basically the same settings on the 11 as you do on the 10
Hero 8 for the win, lol! The Hero 11 higher shutter speed did look nice though, and would be good for pulling stills out of the video footage, but otherwise I feel like quality isn't improving much now. I think you would see the difference in edge cases such as low light or at higher resolutions, but overall I don't see enough difference. What you're shooting and the story you're telling in a video is going to make a way bigger difference than what camera you're shooting with now.
Great video!
Great review, great info, as always. 🍻 Appreciated!
The mini looks great as well. 👍

Awesome Review waiting for the Osmo Action 3 MTB test 🤙🍻
Is it necessary to put a case on the gopro to drive on similar routes? I'm afraid that if the camera gets hit with something it will break the lens cover or the screen.
when you mention color grade - what did you do in davincci - footage looks awesome TIA
When is the winsport bike park video going to come out?
i have the 8 Black and i don't see a big progression with the 11 ...the only reason would be the new battery because I use it often in the cold. I think, that GoPro need also a optical stabilization, a bit bigger sensor and more than 130 Mps to capture all details at fast runs.
Thanks for the review. I'd love to see a video on just the 10-bit color and flat profile. How much more detail do we get prior to color grading. If they put a 1" sensor in, this would be a no brainer upgrade to all prior GoPro's. Your comparison of the Hero 8 vs 11 in one of the shots shows that there's not much difference in what you can do with the 11 which is disturbing.
for a POV head/chin mount type and sort of multi purpose use (speed skating mainly, skiing and mountain biking) would you chose the hero 11 or the 360x3? I find it hard to make a final decide.
My dream camera
Great video, I'll be getting the Insta360 X3
I still love my hero 8, so stable and crisp quality!
Keen to know about the Enduro battery and the Mini
Cheers for all the GoPro Vids, super helpful! Do you happen to know why when you shoot Raw Photos and then go to download them from the GoPro media library (subscription storage) they only come back as a jpeg? I'd love to edit the raw file but I can't find it?
8 Black looked better to me. (At 2:50). Cleaner frames, no overall blur. Viewed on a 4K 10-bit display. Honestly, the Hypersmooth at 8:46 (with 16x ND) seems to me to be too blurry. Noise aside. The motion blur is great, I know that's important for action, but it's (IMHO) too much. I'd dial it back - maybe an 8x ND? Or less? The footage at 10:23 looks pretty good to me (a lot of artifacts, but not super noticeable when playing the video, only when paused). I'm getting an 11, upgrading form a 9. Should be an improvement, and I cannot wait to play with the settings. I primarily shoot flat and grade in FCP, and I've been VERY happy with my 9 settings (from your video a few years ago). Thanks for all the hard work, I appreciate your reviews and info!
Personally I thought the sound was better on the GoPro than the Insta. The insta sounded "tinny" to me, kinda like old analog 70s music. Really impressed with how far the Insta has come compared to their last version. More competition in the market the better!

I never owned a GoPro before. I’m going for a 1month trip to the Philippines in December and snowboarding in March 2023. I also need an action camera while I do my auto detailing videos. I’m leaning more towards between GoPro10 or 11?. What do you guys think?
Thanks for making this video because it further confirms my decision to stick with my 9. I also prefer the color of the 360 vs the 11 because in my opinion it was more natural where the 11 looks a bit saturated and the pine barks was more red and mushy than natural. Again, thank you
Thats right folks....The 8 is fine for most people as shown here 💪💪

What are the best settings for the hero 10?
Curious how these shots look in 9x16 with the new square sensor
Just concidering buying a hero 12 to replace my hero 8. When I look at hero 8's horizontal superview FOV it says 122 degrees. When I look at hero 11 and 12 hyperview horizontal FOV, it also says 122 degrees? Is it actually any wider than the older cameras? Or is it just taller and squished? Strangely it seems that hero 11 and 12 superview is slightly narrower than previous models. Possibly to make hyperview look like a better upgrade than it really is?
Damn we’re already at the 11? Must be amazing cause I still have my 5 black and works flawlessly. GoPro makes a great action camera. Full recommendations
Waiting for my Insta360 X3 to also test against my Hero10. I also found a KZreadrs that makes an "L" bracket for the X3 so it can sit horizontal on the chesty.

Until they come out with a larger sensor I'm afraid the IS just doesn't work in the dark eastern woods where I usually ride (think Brevard area). It just turns to mush on my Hero 9 no matter what I try, it does however work beautifully in good light, especially out in places like Moab

Both the hero 11 and the action 3 have upgraded bigger sensors, actually first ever sensor size upgrade ever (for the GoPro atleast). So it's a tad larger and theoretically better for low light. Not enough tho)
What wind muffler are you using? I've looked for all kinds of things: wind diffusers, mini wind muffs, etc. I can't find anything that looks like a mini dead cat/stick-on that seems like it could be cut-to-fit. Help? Other than that, I have an X3 and a Hero11 Mini (plus a ton of others) and got the Mini for my Avata. I wish there was a safe way to put the X3 on my drone (also have a Mavic Pro and Mavic 2 Pro). Too much interference with GPS signal from what I've seen.

Can you make a review video on DJI Action 3
audio was actually pretty good for a change with a gopro 😂 Worth while upgrade from my hero7 black.
I prefer the Audio in the GoPro Hero 11 over the Insta 360. Although the Insta 360 is louder and the voice has more treble, the sound of the Insta 360 is more harsh and more distorted. Sometimes a more dull sound that is more smooth and more pleasant to the ear is better than a crispy but distorted sound.
I prefer faster shutter. It enables me to make photos out of movie frames that are sharp :)
U r an inspiration for our videos:)
x3 all the way! as i seeing the graphics on both i prefer to have the X3 360 action cam
should've test it with action 3
What I learned is that the insta 360 x3 does a pretty dang good job compared to a GoPro while ALSO being a 360 camera allowing you to get fun/creative shots
