The compact GoPro HERO 11 Black is the latest in a long line of action cameras from GoPro, and as you might expect, in our review we found it does a pretty spectacular job at recording video is a variety of action – or non-action – scenarios.

All the updates over the Hero 10 Black come on the inside – this model boasts the same size and shape as its predecessor. There’s a new, larger sensor that offers 10-bit Colour and the ability to record a huge 8:7 video, which can easily be cropped into both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios for different social platforms.

This versatility makes the HERO 11 Black not just great for shooting action, but also for any social content creators.
