this is the GoPro Hero 11 black and this is the GoPro Hero 10 black we're gonna break down
and compare both of these cameras and see if you need to upgrade or if you're just buying one for
the first time which one you might want to buy if you're in the market both of these cameras do 5.3
K up to 60 frames a second they both have lots of different view modes they have a few 4K 120
they both do 2.7 K up to 240 frames a second which is great if you want that Ultra smooth
Ultra slow motion but there are a couple of differences as well the GoPro Hero 11.
gives you full on 360 degree Horizon leveling mode no matter how much you rotate it or not
whereas the GoPro Hero 10 does not and that's due to the different sensor size the GoPro Hero
11 also has a larger photo photo sensor and it also gives you a few other different options the
standout feature is now 10-bit color is included in the GoPro Hero 11 and that's mostly what I'm
curious to find out is how much can this 10-bit color be pushed and is it going to be useful in
more professional situations where normally I would have to use a higher end camera now
there's a bit of wind so I'm curious to see which one of these if has better wind noise
reduction because there's a fair amount of wind coming from the side here they both are on auto
so this is the wind noise reduction of the GoPro Hero 11. and this is the wind noise reduction
of the GoPro Hero 10. How does each one of them sound it's an extremely backlit situation right
now because of the sun behind me but how is each one of these things doing on the dynamic range
they're both being recorded in flat color profile but the GoPro Hero 11 is
recording in 10-bit whereas the GoPro Hero 10 is not 10-bit because it's not capable
how's the stabilization I feel like they both give you pretty wild crazy stabilization
this is the stabilization on boost mode on the GoPro Hero 10 and auto boost mode on
the GoPro Hero 11. the GoPro Hero 10 crops in quite a bit more than the GoPro Hero 11 does
and that's because of the new sensor on the GoPro Hero 11.
both of these will shoot vertical video natively If you upload content for tick tock Instagram
reels or YouTube shorts and as much as I hate to admit that vertical video is a thing now
it is and I've even been known to post Vertical video on occasion and one thing about the GoPro
vertical video especially if you use the quick app to upload it straight to uh tiktok or Instagram
the quality ends up being absolutely fantastic while both of these cameras will do fantastic
for video and for photos from an action camera if that's what you need to use or want to use the
GoPro Hero 11 definitely gives you more options especially because of the 10-bit color which does
look excellent it also doesn't crop in as much when you're using higher stabilization modes
and the fact that you now have Horizon study or Horizon leveling basically across the board
means that you can creatively compose your shots more the way you want to for battery
life they've made some substantial improvements both of these are using the new Enduro battery
which is fantastic and actually fixed most of my problems that I've had with GoPros in the past
but in all the recording that I've done so far the GoPro Hero 11 has lost about 17 percent of
its battery where the GoPro Hero 10 has lost 25 percent of its battery so uh you know that's a
pretty substantial difference there and not only that but you also have to think about the fact
that 10-bit color comes at a higher memory cost it just takes up more space it's more data and
so yes the GoPro Hero 11. is using a fair bit more data than the GoPro Hero 10. and then we
come to low light performance now stabilization in low light doesn't work well because it doesn't
have enough data to analyze also no action camera performs well in very low light conditions but we
are going to test from ISO 100 to ISO 6400 just so you can see what the different isos look like
all right
foreign
even though the GoPro Hero 11 looks darker the image is much cleaner and has considerably less
noise than the GoPro Hero 10. when it comes to stabilization both of them do an okay job
but the hero 11 definitely does a better job than the hero 10 stabilizing in low light the biggest
headlining feature is the 10-bit color in the hero 11. and while I did see some substantial
improvements both in the natural look the actual the colors looking natural to the way they looked
my eye when I was there on scene but also being able to color grade them and push and pull them a
little bit more in post just gives you a little bit extra flexibility now it's not like night
and day difference between the two but there definitely is a difference on the hero 11 in
the colors that you can get from it the hero 10 still produces great color still produces
really solid video but the hero 11 definitely is a step up GoPro hats off to you you've done
it you've made a great action camera it works extremely well out of the box I've criticized
GoPro in the past for issues that GoPros have had that the issues that I've had with GoPro in
the past like the hero 9 touchscreen was terrible even with firmware updates it's still terrible I
basically never used that camera the hero 10 fixed a lot of those issues but it had other issues that
also got fixed when they released the Enduro battery the hero 11 is a great camera it has
been extremely solid I haven't had it freeze up once yet it's just been rocking everything
I did it never overheated even down in the hot Florida sun when I was doing some time
lapses and stuff actually neither one of these overheated although they did get extremely hot
in use especially when I was doing time lapses both of these cameras just rocked and and kept
going which was impressive because it was hot in the Florida Sun another Improvement I noticed
using the GoPro Hero 11 was that it just is a lot snappier on Startup and shutdown it's much faster
and how it responds on the touch screen it just responds quicker and snappier which I guess it
shouldn't be surprising considering it's the newer camera but I was surprised how much snappier how
much faster it started up and how much snappier the response was to my touch screen or to my
control inputs to my changing settings and stuff like that on the actual camera itself another
is how much less the GoPro Hero 11 crops in even when using hyper smooth in boost or in Auto boost
mode gives you more of a field of view than the GoPro Hero 10 does the GoPro Hero 10 definitely
crops in quite a bit now when you're using the boost mode in Auto on the hero 11 it might crop
in more depending on how violently you're moving the camera that's what the auto boost mode is
for which actually is pretty nice but you just don't get that option in the hero 10. with the
Fairly substantially better battery life the 10-bit color the more natural looking colors
the better stabilization and the less cropping in on the stabilization plus the 360 degree Horizon
leveling mode without the wide lens the GoPro Hero 11 in my mind really is a pretty substantial
upgrade to the hero 10. now whether it's worth it for you or not maybe it won't be worth it the
GoPro Hero 10 is still a super solid camera and something that I've been using pretty much daily
for well since it came out about a year ago but the hero 11 is a pretty big upgrade a pretty good
upgrade now not one that I would say if you have the hero 10 you need to go out and get the hero
11. but if you're coming from something like the seven or the eight or even the nine the hero 11 is
a big upgrade from either of those cameras and I would say definitely worth it the hero 11 or
from the hero 10. probably not quite worth it for you yet unless you know you really do use
it a lot and those upgrades would be worth it for you now if you're curious how these cameras stack
up against other action cameras you're going to want to watch this video right here I'll see you
over there as always if you have questions ask me in the comments below or join my live stream
Wednesday night's 4 pm Alaska time 8 PM Eastern see you again soon in the next video cheers
