GoPro Hero 11 Mini - any experience?

[Motorman74]

We are off on a big holiday early next year, which will involve activities such as snorkeling in the Caribbean, and floating down a river on a big inner tube. I want to get a GoPro to capture the fun.

I've got no particular desire to own a GoPro in general, so a GoPro Hero 11 Mini at £199 hits the spot of something we can buy, use for 3 weeks and sell on without losing too much.

Does anyone have any experience of the GoPro Mini 11? I like the idea of shooting 4K at 120fps as we have an LG OLED that would take advantage of that.

Would I be better off buying an older full size, less capable (on paper) GoPro?

No, the 11 got a new, larger sensor and records at 120 mbps which is faster than any other GoPro. Footage really is great, much better than you might expect from such a small camera. Buy fast cards, SanDisk extreme pro for example.

I’ve not used the mini - the full size camera has replaceable battery which I need but the mini does look very useful with the same video capability as the larger camera.

The 11 does look good, I think I'd probably go for the full size now, having spoken to a few GoPro owners.

Thanks for the input!
