HERO11 Black Mini

I have the go pro hero 11 mini and its been amazing! It does weigh 133g so might be a bit heavy for your use but I cant even notice it on my 5inch

11 Mini should have been the best camera ever. But it will die and stay dead. Removable battery is a feature to not overlook. I won’t buy another GoPro with internal battery. Too many warranty issues with 11 Mini. Reddit search will agree.

Agree. The mini is great… when it works. I had 2 die under warranty and were replaced. Total hassle. It’s all good then one day won’t turn on. Can’t pull the battery to reset when frozen. Skip the mini.

If you don’t care about a display, the GoPro 11 mini is $139 at Best Buy. Great camera but there are some trade offs

GoPro Mini 11 was a broken product. Overheated repeatedly, couldn't run for more than a few minutes. Worst $200 I ever spent. My Hero 4 Silver is still running, but has poor resolution in this day and age.

My Hero 11 Black Mini's battery can only last \~20 min of footage. I love the video quality but whats the point if it just runs out of battery mid run?

From personal experience I can say the following. Any normal version of GoPro will do as a basic camera for selfie shooting. Cameras like GoPro Hero 4K or Hero 11 mini. Great for shooting from a helmet (on the helmet, under the visor or on the side). Regarding the microphone, it is better to use a special helmet-headset with an adapter for internal mounting, for motocross helmets.When you have a microphone in your helmet, you can be heard better and there is less wind noise.

This experience is the identical experience I had. They have/had a construction failure where some connection will dissolve into nothing and cause this behavior. Since they are almost unrepairable due to heavy use of glue, there is no fix. I tried it. I am done with GoPro. Gonna use my 12 until it is also done and will then switch to DJI or insta. Depending on who is ahead in the comp then.

Worth looking for second hand DJI also - I got a DJI osmo action off ebay for £50 (with a voucher, theyre normally about £100) and it’s been really good. Like all others, it suffers a bit at night, but is still usually good enough to pick out number plates. I have it secured to my helmet with a couple of 3M adhesive pads; it’s nice to be able to look at things (eg drivers on their phones) and know it’s being recorded vs the static angle of a handlebar mount. I originally bought a GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini - do not make this mistake, the battery isnt removable and it was dead on arrival!

I use a GoPro mini with an external battery and a Garmin radar with a built-in camera.
