We unboxed it last week, and today we're reviewing the Go Pro Hero 11 Black Creator Edition. This includes the Go Pro Hero 11 Black with the new Enduro Battery, the Volta Grip, the Media Mod which acts as a cage, houses two cold shoe mounts and a microphone, and the Light Mod.
This camera seems like a great upgrade, but it isn't cheap. The question is - is it worth the cash?

[@pcofranc]

OMG thank you for providing an honest review with wonderful insights into the strengths including bugs like freezing that other reviewers did not even mention which implied those issues were finally solved in the Hero 11. I think there is a lot of potential for a small light vlog travel camera in the go pros but they are facing serious competition in the insta360 - however the inst360's lenses cannot be protected with lens covers and one drop and it's game over.

[@phillypurrfect]

Thank you very much for sharing this thorough review. I just received my Gopro Hero 11 Creator edition.

[@jonathanben-david7142]

Fantastic and comprehensive review. As a newcomer to this camera, your comprehensive and easy to follow commentary was super helpful. Thank you. Have just ordered the new H12 Creator and very much looking forward to receiving it. Well done and thanks again.

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Kind comment, thanks!

[@Sandman1MT]

Thank you I just Picked up this model tonight oh BH video for only 300$ usd great video and thank you so much for going in to the extra effort to not only talk about the extra features but to show it off in such a professional manner I loved your video and I subscribed as well this video alone is worth of that just wish my own viewers felt the same way lol.

[@toycarcollector]

Thank you, best overview of the GoPro 11 that I have found.

[@get2jawa]

That's detail and great. 👌🏼 Thanks for the video 👍🏼

[@georgeandsav]

Thanks Bro, been vlogging for a while now and your video helped me to make a decision! The FCP tip made it clear.

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Ah you’re welcome! So you decided not to get it?

[@CrunchyTire]

The hypersmooth and horizon lock is what pushed me to get one. If you have it mounted on anything like a helmet or backpack those features are game changers.

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

For sure, great idea

[@editorskeys]

Great video Kiran! I’ve just picked up the Hero 11! It’s actually my first GoPro… wasn’t impressed day one… then took it on holiday and really enjoyed the footage coming out of it! Hoping to upload some footage soon

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing it!

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

thanks for your thorough review, I'm high functioning autistic Aspergers Syndrome, so I've got this on my wishlist so I can vlog steady and livestream, I broke fractured my foot a year ago (clumsiness is a trait) and on my smoky mountains livestreams I'm still dealing with hobbling, hoping when I get my GoPro, my livestreams are steadier, walking in these mountains are a challenge lol

[@GoPro]

Thank you for sharing, Kiran! Excited to see your next adventures with HERO11 Black. Love the use of Light Painting at the end 🤩

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks guys!

[@dayaraujo6618]

​@@Kiran.MorjariaWhat's the difference between this and 11? Just the accessories?

[@padhlekaamaayega]

@@dayaraujo6618 lightiing and all, and is expensive than other one

[@MadeehahMalik]

Very informative thank you so much 😊

[@FlavoredGenuine]

The Creator Edition of Go Pro Hero 11’s something on my bucket list as a future content creator in case I want to start vlogging and providing commentary.

Best GoPro review I have seen many thanks.

[@KindaNeet]

Thanks so much for going into so much detail! I actually think the media mod microphone sounds much worse...

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

On listening back I think I might agree 😂

[@davidwright4461]

Just a thought have you found that if you put all the creator bits in basket separate it works out cheeper with enough over to buy twin battery and charger. Not sure if there is a diferance buying separate but it works out cheeper.

[@ryanosborn1782]

The creator edition is actually $580 with the subscription. There is an extra $50 off the hero11 when you purchase the subscription alongside the camera (which cancels out the price of the subscription) on top of the regular $100 off gopros with the subscription.

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

I bought the camera dude, I paid £580 but then you still have to pay £50 for the subscription so it actually works out to £630 (or $630)

[@GalaxyExotics]

Great video!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks guys!

[@Benali2022oujda]

Thank you for your help and information ℹ️ℹ️ℹ️

[@WokWithMe]

Thanks so much for sharing this. Wanna ask what editing software (if not possible with FinalCutPro) you use to edit the videos? Also, do you then always use an external microphone or would you say without would already do. Cheers!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

I've been exporting the footage twice and then it's usable for me to use, long process but it's the only way I've managed to make it work!

[@autonomystudio]

Hello! Awesome video! Would you recommend it for fitness videos? Specifically for one hour barre workout (where camera would be still and person moving) thank you!!!!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey I would, but I would also say that if you're only shooting this kind of video a straight camera is probably better. If you want the flexibility of having a small waterproof device then this is a good bet

[@Terpzie]

Bro wasted so much time photoshopping an image of the GoPro when he could have just held it for a thumbnail 😂😂😂

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Lol I literally forgot to do this

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

So had to improvise

[@Terpzie]

@@Kiran.Morjaria no hate bro. Just thought it was a little funny. Blessings.

[@isaacturnerit]

Dang I been wanting to get one of these to make filming easier. I quit using them because the sd card would keep corrupting. Sounds like it still has problems

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, I've not had the conflict between GoPro files and Final Cut pro, I will use my rode wireless go 11 as a mic! I like the media mod just for the mic jack! interesting the more i watch the more i want to know more! I'm a Photographer and i just invested in a Canon EOS R5 C which i was going to use for Video, but the stills are so great I will use it for my main camera! PS I have subbed! I have my favourite creators for my canon! I think you will be the go to for my GoPro

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks Tony I appreciate it!

[@MaciasAnthony]

Gold video ⚡️🔥

[@WalkingVibes4K]

Exelente video 👍✔

[@thehoodsgottalent]

How do you spin the camera head on the stand?

[@SuhaibHussain]

Thanks for the video Kiran. Really comprehensive review... I picked mine up this week. Is there a way to switch between the media mod mic and the standard mic when using the mod? Also, have you had connection issues with the media mod? I find it has to be plugged in constantly for it to work - otherwise the record button doesn't work. Very strange...

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks dude! I’ve not had connection issues but have heard that other people have. You can switch quite easily, if you go into the settings of the video type (where you would change the resolution, FPS etc) there’s an option of where the audio is coming from

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

You can also set a short cut on the home screen to easily change the mics. You can not change mics while the camera is recording though.

[@JamesGreenier]

New sub. This is so well Done!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks dude!

[@niyavernice]

Hi Dr.! Can I ask you what camera you are using to record this video? I'm stuck between getting this and the Nikon Z 30 only because I want to be able to tilt the camera to also record from a bird's eye view. Can I get your opinion? EDIT: Wow, looking and reading is essential lol. So I saw in the description that you have Sony A6600 & Canon G7x mk2. Why did you pick Sony over Nikon?

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey Niya, apologies for the delay I've been so crazy busy. I've generally used Sony cameras for ages, so trust the brand and watched SO many reviewed before settling on the A6600 - the reason I got this over the A6400 is the Z batteries, so the battery life is much much longer. It also has some stabilisation in the camera body but I can hardly tell the difference (lol)

[@pinoymedicvlogs]

I'm a insta360 X3 User and I'm thinking of trying out this gopro11 creators editon. What's your advice for me mate? Thank you

[@KDC_1899]

Hi, thank you for the vid! Just got GP11 but once got the footage into Davinci Resolve it's so laggy it's almost impossible to edit! Any suggestions??

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried exporting the footage again using Quicktime? I've heard for some people that this has helped

[@HariBonda]

hey kiran! thanks for making this video, the quality of gopro footge is not that great maybe because of the shutter speed, i should find NDs for it.

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

True, this is a great idea

[@TheDiscofool]

Hi, thank you from a fellow Manc, great video.. i'm hoping to buy my first gopro rather than a camera for multi uses, for example, travel, a wedding coming up etc.. do you recommend this gopro11 for a first time user... again thank you

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey man, apologies for the delay - I would, but also consider the DJI action osmo 3 - I've got a video coming next week comparing the two cameras!

[@moguerlain7158]

⚠️ I have the same one, my friend of mine has the same one and we worked together, we have the same malfunction on both cameras, freezing problem, the camera turns off several times, there is also the impossibility of saving the videos on i could and there is no date and time display option on the recorded videos

[@Dustinscustoms]

Why did you skip over how long the battery life without the external

[@ranasawah9198]

Hello how are u thanks for this video I am wondering how do you crop it from KZbin to TikTok? What app / video app do you use to do it?

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey, I use Final Cut Pro X on my computer

[@aymeric38]

Ver good review, thank you mate. Keep it up!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Thanks mate!

[@UtdGLORYtv]

Great video! Do you know if I can go live on KZbin using this?

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

You can but this is not something I have done so I don't know how easy it is to do

[@shangel1]

wait so you cant edit on final cut pro with the go pro footage?

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

I’ve been struggling due to software issues!

Thanks Tom!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

[@Rolweng]

Only the downside that I experienced with using gopro is that it turns-off when the outside temparature is below -0 degrees. This is very annoying to users in Canada because we have very cold condition here and this is not possible here in Canada.

[@nikolajanjusevic5452]

No way, i am in Montreal... And i just finished video, checking comments before order U sure about temperature issue?

[@sparrow9982]

Just because you got your tracking plug in doesn’t mean you should track everything. Pr at least manually adjust a little

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

What do you mean sorry?

[@siprecords1]

Is it worth having going on a cruise to a private island , jet skis or should is just use my galaxy 22

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Action camera for sure, more rugged and reliable waterproof

[@johnnyclingham2803]

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

Hey Johnny, I use a Sony A6600

[@clickforeyes]

Lovely

[@munnavlogs2336]

Nice Video

[@adivinaca]

i think the next gen of go pros needs to have the capability of functioning as photography ccameraas taking photos without the counting back, straight when pressing the shooting button and the posibility of adapting like in traditional cameras at least smaller or light telescopes , if they make it work i definitely pay i dont know, like 700 hundred for the entire kit.

[@ajayaarati]

Volta have extra battery 🔋 or not

[@NicoleByron]

dang didn't know about the final cut pro issue. Was getting ready to pull the trigger on this but after that.... don't know if it makes sense. Has this issue beeen resolved? Anyone know?

$549 at best buy for the creator edition.

I have a go pro Hero 9 and also have media mod, the light but im thinking of purchasing the volta as well. My question is as I know the mic on the media mod is very average. I use the Rode wireless go external mic attached to the hot shoe on the media mod and plugged in to the media mod. Will the media mod accommadate the connection of the volta and also the external mic as well. Are there enough ports on the media mod? Thanks in advance.

Some dude made a video why he hates the go pro 11 (guy with a bike helmet on in his videos). At the end of his video he said support pushes him to use the app no matter what, and there's a ton of limitations not using go pros online mobile editing platform. Seems like they want to keep the footage in house...
