GoPro Hero11 Black Mini Is Now Half the Price
In September, GoPro released its new GoPro Hero11 Black , the 11th iteration of the Hero line, which began humble beginnings in 2004 with the launch of the first Hero camera. Now GoPro has released a “mini version” of the Hero camera, and it’s currently on sale for around 50% off.
Since its release last fall, the GoPro Hero11 Black Mini hovered in the $400 region at most reputable retailers, according to Honey’s pricing history , until prices began to drop this month. The current price of $200 from GoPro is the best deal for a new camera since its release.
What is the difference between mini and non-mini?
The biggest difference between the Hero11 Black and Hero11 Black Mini is that the mini camera doesn’t have screens on the front or back of the camera, making it hard to see what you’re shooting; the battery is not replaceable, rechargeable (meaning that backup batteries will not help you); and it also lacks many of the video features that its “big brother” has, such as the lack of video looping, real-time burst shooting, or scheduled capture.

What is the battery life of GoPro Hero11 Black Mini?
Depending on the resolution and fps you have set, the lifespan of the camera can vary greatly. It can range from 49 minutes at 4K resolution and 120fps to 114 minutes at 1080p at 30fps, according to ProjectGo .
What to do with an annual subscription?
An annual subscription is provided free of charge with the deal. And while you don’t need a subscription to use the camera, it does come with some benefits, such as unlimited cloud backup and automatic uploads of your videos, discounts on the GoPro website, and a “no questions asked” camera replacement guarantee. Keep in mind that the subscription will automatically renew and you will be charged $50 per year unless you cancel, which you can do at any time.
Is the GoPro Hero11 Black mini right for me?
If you’re okay with buying a camera with great image stabilization and the latest GPU that GoPro has to offer that can’t take single shots or change batteries on long trips, this might be for you. Whether you want to use it to record your 90-minute football matches, attach it to your chest or your dog when you take it for a walk, it will work as long as you tweak the settings and prepare for battery limitations.
