Oof. The toxicity is bad enough, but to not even look at the video before replying?

For others, I've got an Insta360 One X2. It's great, but it's very different from a GoPro. The stitching is impressive, but imperfect. Great for capturing 360 videos for direct upload or for when you want to select the target and convert to a regular video. However, you'll get lens flare as the camera moves, and some artifacts around the edges of the lenses. So, if you want to shoot a video where you're focused on a single thing, a regular GoPro will give superior results.

The R3 is pretty impressive and does some cool tricks for sure. But the killer feature on the GoPro 11 is across the board 10-bit color recording. With the accessibility of color grading on phones, this will give people a lot more room to get a closer-to-cinematic level of polish to their videos. The only other action cam that also can record in 10-bit color is the Insta360 Titan.

For anyone curious about 8-bit vs 10-bit and what 10-bit can do for your final product, BH Photo Video made a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNy24_XD38o

Have always been a GoPro fan since v1.0. Didn't upgrade every model, though, and last stopped at 8.

Just checked and I do have this Amex offer, and with its forward-facing screen, I may jump on this. Need to first see some reviews about the overheating issue that seems to plague these later models, though.

If I need the accessories, is it cheaper to buy as a part of a bubdle for $100 more or later with subscription discount?

I have a Hero Black 8. Not sure if it is worth it to upgrade to 11. I know the heating issues. Any thoughts?

The entire overheating conversation is dumb.

If you're going to use action cam as intended, you will end up with relatively short clips anyway. There is no need to continuously record for more than 10-15 mins in most situations - especially given the fact that the vast majority of users are terrible at video editing.

The camera wasn't intended for 30 mins video recording under direct sun - majority of DSLRs would overheat in these conditions, plus many have a 30 min recording limit in place.

This is not a vlogging camera, and if you need 30+ continuous footage for vlogging, you're doing it wrong anyway

OOS using the Amex link. Hope it will be back in stock soon.

Edit: Placed an order and looking forward to receiving it.
What was the trick? I'm getting the error that they cannot process order also.

If you use this link and order from GoPro you won't get the Gumby Flexible Mount.
Although on Amazon it's include.

Looks like they improved the heat issues, but did not resolve them. The activity matters. I'm sure they go a long time while skiing/snowboarding. Not so much sitting in the sun at the beach.
Even indoors (71F) at medium resolution 4K 30FPS after 45 minutes I get the overheat shutdown issue in my Hero11. Outdoors this past weekend at 4K 60FPS on my bike I got over 3 hours at 84F, Airflow helps.

Insta360 one X2 and X3 - King of action cams. I stopped using gopro and dji osmo action after getting one x2.
How is the X3 for recording baseball games?

As an existing subscriber, it looks like the HERO11 Black is $399.99 with or without the bundle. What prices are you seeing?

Note that all prices I mention are with the subscriber discount.

The bundle includes these items:
  • $24 - The Handler
  • $20 - extra Enduro battery
  • $16 - head strap + quick clip
That only adds up to $60 so I certainly wouldn't pay more than an additional $50 for the bundle.

If you're in the water, I absolutely recommend The Handler [gopro.com]. Out of the water, The Shorty [gopro.com] ($32) is pretty cool.
I definitely recommend an additional battery, but I'd get the dual battery charger plus two batts [gopro.com] for $48. It's way more convenient than being limited to charging within the GoPro. It should really be included in the bundle.

Note that subscription discount is limited to 10 items per year, so if you really needed a ton of accessories you could hit that limit and I presume the bundle wouldn't count against it, but I think 10 per year is plenty.

If I used it in water and out of water, would The Handler be able to handle both? Or would you recommend getting both: The Handler and The Shorty?

Yes, seems like same price whether you buy the accessory kit or not. GoPro values it $100, I'm sure it's not worth that, but it's something. Makes it a little better deal.
