- What's up, guys?
Another year brings us yet another new
and improved version of GoPro's flagship action camera,
the Hero 11!
So we've come to the beautiful island of Formentera,
here in Spain, to tell you guys what's new about it.
I guess from the outside looking in,
you're probably thinking,
Jake, they've just changed the number.
That's probably what it seems like.
But there's a ton of new features that GoPro have packed
into this little bad boy, including a new image sensor.
So if you've got 10 minutes, let's get stuck into it.
(upbeat music)
- In a nutshell, the new GoPro 11 has a bigger sensor,
which can now capture eight by seven aspect ratio.
Didn't even know it was the thing,
but it's freaking awesome.
And we'll tell you exactly why later in the video.
10-bit color. We have more megapixels in photos.
And we have a wider digital lens, which is called HyperView.
- GoPro have also improved their stabilization.
We're now up to HyperSmooth 5.0. That's ridiculous.
There is the Enduro battery boxed in this camera.
We also have the GoPro Quick app,
which is a brand new AI editing feature.
And have you guys heard about the new baby relative,
the Hero 11 Mini?
Lots to talk about,
but let's chat about this aspect ratio.
Eight by seven, what even is that?
(upbeat music)
And eight by seven aspect increases
the vertical field of view by 16%
from the previous generation of GoPro.
Now, for the everyday user
this might not seem so interesting,
but for greedy pixel hungry creators like us,
this makes one shot far more interesting,
allowing us more options to reframe
with better image quality.
Now let's be fair,
if we wanted to publish vertical videos,
we would more than likely just shoot with that
as our intention, framing the camera vertically.
However, for fleeting moments,
using an eight by seven aspect ratio allows
for a bigger workspace, giving us more options when editing
for multiple screen sizes.
(bright music)
- This little sort of secret spot
is called El Faro De La Mola.
It's perfect for rushing sunrise, perfect orientation.
It's all the way at the end of the island, kilometer 17,
so it's really easy to find.
You end up at a cliff
with a beautiful little lighthouse here.
(bright music)
- HyperSmooth 4.0 versus 5.0
is on with each camera shooting in 4k 50.
Notice the horizon line on the 10 wobbling about.
HyperSmooth 5.0 really seems
to better iron out the camera wobbles and shakes.
And in the second example, we've chose to switch boost on.
Hero 11 has an auto boost option,
algorithmically choosing what looks best.
And in this example, the less of a crop, in my opinion,
looks better.
Well done, GoPro, on these HyperSmooth improvements.
In this comparison, what we wanted to do
was to add the 10-bit color.
So I'm shooting in 16 by 9, 4k 50
on both the GoPro Hero 10 and the 11.
However, the brand new GoPro Hero 11 now has the option
to include 10-bit color profile,
which hopefully gives you more dynamic range.
That's what this test should hopefully discover.
(bright adventurous music)
So 10-bit color provides over 1 billion shades of color
versus the 16.7 million in 8-bit.
Now that just sounds like big numbers,
but this really speaks to the pro user
as beginners aren't that well versed in color grading.
Now, 10-bit color offers creators a wider variety of color,
smoother color gradients, lesser color banding,
and finer shadow details, which I believe are all visible
in these on screen side by sides.
However, 10-bit is a bigger file size
and will require more processing power.
(jazzy upbeat music)
With a bigger sensor on the GoPro Hero 11,
that means we have more mega pixels
in photos from the previous generation.
We've gone from 23 now to 27.
And huge thanks and shout out to GDome
for hooking us up with their GDome for Hero 10.
It also fits the Hero 11.
One of the coolest new features of the Hero 11
is the fact that we get more raw outputted photos in burst.
That means more photos packed into less time.
So let's check that out.
(upbeat music)
You could honestly not get better conditions
for doing content.
The water is still, it's crystal clear.
Oh my gosh.
(upbeat music)
- The new Hero 11 has
some incredible new night photo capabilities
that we're gonna test out right here.
It's a full moon tonight, so it should be amazing.
But before we do, I just wanted to give you a huge shout
and thank you to the sponsor for today's video,
which is the amazing team at Epidemic Sound.
Finding the right tracks
without getting in trouble for using them can be difficult
if you don't know where to look.
That's why Epidemic Sound
is the ultimate tool for creators.
Because let's face it,
good music and sound effects makes your videos better.
Another one of my favorite reasons
as to why I love using a service like Epidemic Sound
is because they always have new fresh tracks,
seagull, every single week.
If you don't have much time,
Epidemic also have a staff's pick selection
which is a great way to find some fresh tunes.
I recommend checking out the future bass section
if you're wanting to pair something rad
with your new GoPro clips.
So, if you guys wanna start your journey
with no copyright strikes or copyright claims on your videos
then be sure to clip that top link in the description
for your 30 day free trial.
That's also one of my favorite reasons
why I love Epidemic Sound.
So you can trial the music on your channel straight away.
Let's take some night photos.

(bright upbeat music)
- This is actually a really cool new feature on the Hero 11,
it's called light painting and it creates a 4k video.
What we're doing is we're using this little GoPro Zeus light
to just paint something in and GoPro does all the processing
and spits out the video for you.
Let's give it a go.
So we'll set this up on the tripod.
I think it's important,
you have to use a tripod in this instance.
We're on light painting in the time lapse feature,
hyper time lapse feature section.
And here we go. Light painting activated.

- So we're taking you to the ultimate secret spot
on this island for cliff diving.
No one knows of this place.
So if you wanna know, drop in those comments, in those DMs,
that's the only way you'll know where we're taking you.
- Alright, we're in HyperView.
I'm gonna show you a POV shot.

- So, one of the new really exciting features
that the GoPro 11 has
is this ability to make highlight reels with AI.
That's right. And it's all in the GoPro app.
Jake and I are sort of ambivalent on AI editing,
but we're gonna give it a shot.
We got this kayak right here, super bright, super nice,
and we're gonna get some shots
and see what the computer comes up with.
(soft music)
- [Jake] So keep in mind, this is a complete AI edit
and we have fed the app content and it just spat this out.
Which is perfect for beginners
that really don't how to edit.
Now, yes, we obviously still are gonna be in a job
as video editors, but there's a load of great features
and customizable controls
that you can explore to improve your videos
and make something really cool.
GoPro Quick also offers 4k exports,
which is awesome if you have the latest smartphone
and want some crispy content.
After just a handful of days here
on the beautiful island of Formentera,
there is so much to love
about GoPro's flagship new action camera.
For us, as content creators,
we absolutely notice the difference with the bigger sensor.
It's giving us this awesome eight by seven aspect ratio,
we have more mega pixels in photos,
we also have this 10-bit color profile
which we can really tweak and maximize the colors
and tone of our videos to look the way we want them to.
So it's really GoPro's best camera to date.
But the question is, is the GoPro 11 worth the upgrade?
- So if you have an older model,
like let's say eight or the nine,
and you're looking to upgrade to the 11,
then by all means go for it.
It's an amazing camera.
You'll also have a new processor chip, which is the GP2,
and we definitely notice the difference.
That being said, if you have the 10
and you're thinking of upgrading,
that's where I'd ask myself questions.
Because maybe you can invest that money
in education, let's say, or a different tool,
'cause there's plenty on the market.
So, you gotta ask yourself questions.
The world is your oyster.
