Talk of a GoPro Hero11 Mini may have gotten Session owners excited – there hasn’t been an upgrade to the tiny action camera in over half a decade. Leaked data (courtesy of WinFuture) shows that the Mini will not be nearly as small as the Session models. On the plus side, it will be just as powerful as the upcoming GoPro Hero11 Black flagship. It sounds like it has the same 27MP image sensor that is capable of capturing video at 5,616 x 3,744px resolution.
Both of the 11-series models will use the
GP2 processor from last year, which can handle 5.3K video at 60fps, 4K at
120fps, and 2.7K at 240fps, it can also do live streams at 1080p. HyperSmooth
stabilization will be updated to v5.0, TimeWarp will remain at v3.0. As you may
have noticed, the Hero11 Mini doesn’t have any displays – not on the front, not
on the back. We don’t know the battery capacity yet, but the lack of displays
(and possibly smaller battery) are what make the Mini smaller than the Black.
The rough dimensions are 50 x 50mm and
nearly 40mm thick (notice that there are two mounting points – one on the
bottom as usual and a new one at the back). For comparison, the GoPro10 Black
measures 71.8 x 50.8 x 33.6mm, while the Hero5 Session was 38 x 38 x 38mm.
Also, the Session did have a tiny display on top – not big enough for a view
finder, but enough to show the recording mode, recording time and a few icons.
The Hero11 Mini will reportedly cost € 450.
For comparison, the Hero10 Black was € 580 last year..
