HERO 11 Black

I've seen countless comments about the new Mission cameras and especially the Mission 1 ILS where people are assuming that the camera is pointless. The comments are usually as follows: * I can't think of any way this camera would be useful * The camera isn't portable anymore * How is it supposed to fit on my head with such a big lens? * It's going to be difficult to get a wide FOV with such a tight crop factor * No autofocus on an action cam is stupid * An action camera that's not waterproof? * Just get \_\_\_ camera instead (suggesting something like a BMPCC/FX3) * M43 native lenses won't work well with it It's been frustrating watch so many people miss the point of this camera completely. They're seeing it as a GoPro that can do less or a worse mirrorless camera, rather than the incredible powerhouse that it actually is just because it doesn't fit their specific usecase. It's literally a *tiny* camera, with one of the most adaptable mounts ever (*not proprietary btw!*), that can do 8k60/4k240/1080p960 with confirmed little-to-no overheating. Theres hardly anything else out there that can do this at the moment, especially under 10k. Most people are also missing the fact that the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro also exist! If you want a traditional HERO style camera, then that's the one for you! The ILS isn't a replacement for a HERO, it's a separate camera all together. GoPro usecase has also historically been B or even C camera. This is a camera meant to complement other cameras, it's not a main camera replacement (although hopefully we see GoPro venture into that space with this technology). If you had any of the opinions mentioned above, I've answered them here: * I can't think of any way this camera would be useful * Car mount * Drone mount * Literally anywhere a camera is mounted * Scientific purposes w/ slow motion that doesn't break the bank * The camera isn't portable anymore * It's definitely still portable, just not pocketable with a lens, but that's not the point. * How is it supposed to fit on my head with such a big lens? * Get a smaller lens? Get a regular mission 1? It's not meant to be a head mounted cam, that's for the other two cameras. * It's going to be difficult to get a wide FOV with such a tight crop factor * If you need GoPro-wide FOV, then the Mission 1 Pro exists for that exact reason. Even still, wide lenses do exist (Laowa 7.5mm is \~20mm on M1ILS) * You don't need to mount native m43 glass, you can adapt. * No autofocus on an action cam is stupid * Mounted cameras don't need autofocus. It's a set-and-forget camera. In fact, autofocus off is usually the norm for this usecase. * An action camera that's not waterproof? * There'll definitely be dive cases made for this camera, but that's very clearly not the intention * If you need a waterproof HERO style camera, get the Mission 1 Pro. * Just get \_\_\_ camera instead (suggesting something like a BMPCC/FX3) * I can't think of a single camera that can do 8k60/4k240/1080p960 at this size & price. * There's so much that this GoPro offers over other cameras * This isn't an A camera replacement * M43 native lenses won't work well with it * The mount is for adaptability, not for the native lens selection As usual, it'll be the loud minority that we're hearing and the people that have a usecase for this camera will be loving it. I can't wait to see the content that people will make with it. I'm just fed up of the lack of critical thinking in these comments sections.

Two things I've never liked about mounting a GoPro to my car-- The overheating and the "GoPro mounted to car look". I've been working on aerodynamic pod designs. One is slim and will mount to a base that allows angle adjustment. The other is designed for sitting flush to the roof or hood but allows adjustment on the roll axis. Both designs a 60mm cooling fans. I've tested in the height of summer in Central Texas and heat is no longer an issue! The 3D printed PLA plastic is also fine, but to be on the safe side I've switched to Polymaker HT-PLA and PETG plastics. My next steps are powerbank integration (so external power cables for the camera and fan aren't needed) and a better mount design. But it takes a lot of time to design, print, redesign, print, redesign again, etc. I'm wondering if there's a market for these that makes it worthwhile to continue, or should I just stick with the mostly functional prototypes for my own use? I have other unrelated unique products for sale on Etsy but haven't had any success at all!

Hello everyone! We (GoPro) have a new LUT for GP-LOG2 for Mission 1 series cameras. I wasn't sure when it would go live officially, and I've seen a lot of you are shooting in GP-Log2 so I wanted to share this with the community here first. While we have some pretty technical LUTs available, this one should pretty much be drag and drop - it aims to emulate the cinematic color profile in the camera. Obviously a LUT should be a starting place; it won't always get it perfect. When you shoot in GP-LOG2, the camera isn't doing as much automation under the hood to control shadows/highlights because it assumes you will be doing that part manually in post. If you're confused about shooting GP-LOG2 but still want to get the best out of the camera, I would recommend using the cinematic color profile and starting your color journey there. Cinematic is a great starting point, but only might require an increase in contrast or color shift, whereas log is a bit more involved. Excited to get this out there. Let me know how it works out for you. Screenshots welcome!

I’m actually mad at this article. Saying it’s “third fiddle”. These cameras have been rated over GoPro for a few years now. By reputable sources. Wired, pc mag and toms hardware have the (older) 5 the best overall.

I still think my Insta360 x5 is a better overall camera, but the Max 2 has three big advantages: - sound - out of the camera, for motorcycling, the sound is waaaaay better. - editing - the GoPro Quik app is simpler and faster - GoPro Cloud - infinitely better than Insta360's offering
