GoPro HERO11 - My Cinematic Maldives Adventure 5k

Here we are, back for a new 100% filmed GoPro video (I mean 98%, to be precise). GoPro provided me the cameras but didn't pay me to make that video, so don't worry I'm not tricked to tell anything I don't enjoy. The past days in the Maldives have been surreal. Met some of the kindest people, became really close friends with them all. And also got to experience to fly with 50 massive oceanic mantas around. I'm glad I made this vlog to be able to bring you guys along and also to be able to re-experience these moments when watching it.
Hope you all enjoy it as much I a did when creating it.
Much love,
//Benni

If anyone is thinking about getting one of those brand new H11 or anything from GoPro, here is my affiliate link, just in case 😘 prf.hn/l/NJ5bbNX Much love, Benni ❤

[@Coholbell15]

Pls do you P#** Hub for go pro 11

[@sammyb3104]

Bro, you are too good of a filmmaker/vlogger to not post! Bruh! You literally could be HUGE! I need more posts man, more video content! I know you are out there killing it... All Love, just a little selfish request.

[@GoPro]

YEWW! Amazing edit, stoked to see where you take your HERO11 next!

[@BenjaminOrtega]

My little finger is telling me we won’t be too far from each other very soon! 🇨🇭🧀

[@epopsony]

In 30 days with my gopro 11 in Maldives 🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳

[@md.obaydulla4169]

GoPro Needed 11 3x Optical Zoom

[@RCWolfFPV]

That color grade is surreal..

[@jasonvallen]

Its very great video , may i know what microphone do you use on go pro ? Thankyou , i appreciate it !!

[@mirko96700]

What an effort! Crazy clips…. Crazy editing... Everything is over the top! Overkill! My man you are one of the best creators, you are a huge source of inspiration for all of us trying to grow on KZbin!

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Thanks so much! That really make me smile a lot 🫶🏻

[@abekislevitz]

So good! The best in the biz! Looked amazing all throughout too!

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Coming from you 😍🫶🏻 who literally inspired me making videos with my first ever GoPro!

[@ChiboOfficial]

Surreal that the birds came flying into the frame after You shot through the palm trees xD And the beautiful Manta School. I really want to head out to the Maledives for the under water world! Cool edit Semeton!

[@mateusrodrigues4584]

Amazing video! Can't wait for the next one!

[@ishanseefromthesky4662]

Amazing as always .glad you came here

[@pedrogaller3838]

Wow wow wow I was missing those kind of vlogs. Drone footages are sooooo good. The timing and editing is perfect. Bravo!!!

[@taavihoo]

When we're able to see this new DB roller bag in DB store you had at 5:34 timeframe? Looks amazing!

[@AdamBoltGoldCoast]

Maafushi, such an underated Island to visit in the Maldives, and being a local island, its relatively cheap to stay on. I had the pleasure of going there when my daughter was working on the Island for Icom Tours. The marine life that is in that area is just insane. Best place for snorkeling ever!

[@99999hjj]

cool video!! cant wait to buy one... what accessories are you using for this gopro11 set-up on land and in water? thank you Ben.

[@jasonvallen]

Its very great video , may i know what microphone do you use on go pro ? Thankyou , i appreciate it !!

[@theodrosmitiku2385]

I LOVE getting a notification of a Benni vlog upload!

[@RVDL]

Wow, the edits of the drone footage....amazing.

[@RGMGFitness]

Nothing better than only having to toss the small GoPro 11 into your bag…and off you go! All about doing more with less! Great job on this video! 👍👍👍

[@libmananchannel]

Hello Benjamin Ortega! it's amazing! Thanks for the very nice video! I saw it with great interest! Great! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a nice day!

[@MathiasPettersen]

Batur👏🏼👏🏼 Great Edit as always, really love the FPV shots, sound effects and the whole experience 🥳 🌴

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Thanks Batur!!! 🙌🏻 can’t wait to come back to Indo and do more trips together too!

[@MathiasPettersen]

I am so ready🫡🥳🌴

[@Krueger_Patrick]

SICK !! I would ove to see a comparison between the GoPro footage and the Internal DJI AVATA

[@JonasMarcinko]

I second this!

[@tomkordys]

@@JonasMarcinko me too

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Me too actually hahah 🙋🏼‍♂️ No doubt the GoPro H11 will win. I mean bigger sensor, better dynamic range and better colors imo. But maybe I’ll show it in some of my next vlogs.

[@tomkordys]

@@BenjaminOrtega yeah, that would be cool. I mean, theoretically yes, goPro will have a better footage, I think the question is if it is worth it. Reduced flight time, reduced camera control, you don't have a gimbal, it just records straight. Can't switch to pic mode and take a pic. Gp11 mini definitely better suited for this btw.

[@ThomasHarpointner]

Great video! What's your drone model?

[@seandrewtv9750]

Nice video bro. Are you using color grading in your video?Thank you

[@trav-ish5865]

Awesome video Benni! Maldives are on my bucket list for sure. By any chance could you tell me what dive mask you're using?

[@itspeache]

I just want to know how did you get footage of the plane while it’s flying and from the outside?!? Were you flying your drone on the plane??

[@jdenjames7506]

Are you using a separate mic or is this the in camera mic. What an amazing video. I also saw your go pro10 video wow!! You are an amazing video creator and storyteller.

[@johanneskraus733]

Is the mic of the GP11? Pretty good quality

[@andremusgrove]

Could always watch your videos without skipping through them. Love the edit and the shots bro!

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Thanks brother!! This adventure really brought me back the good feelings of our Bahamas x GoPro one 🙌🏻

[@tomkordys]

Hey man, I just got Avata after watching your Avata video. Thanks for that. With GoPro11 it is still bad in low light, don't see any difference. Especially around the 8th minute. What's up with the GoPro on the Avata? How much does it reduce the flight time? Also is the footage actually better? I would expect Dji software to smoothen it out better with the gyro data?

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Lots of questions! 😉 Yea I do think that avata + H11 is the best combo. Of course it reduces the flying time by maybe half, but even then you are still getting more time than most tiny homemade Fpv drones. And yes the H11 definitely had a better sensor and quality and also stab with Reelsteady. And for the low light, the H11 does a better job than the H10 in my experience. And to be honest I thought that all my night clips were actually really impressive.

[@tomkordys]

@@BenjaminOrtega thanks for your answers. I get this is a goPro11 promo, btw you should have probably used the mini gopro11 for it, but it is not released yet :) But but but... The coolest thing would be a comparison of Avata footage with the same goPro11 footage. I would be really curious to see it. Loved your Maldives trip, I love the Maldives :)

[@dindobiberanueza]

broooo the audio is way much cleaner even in a very harsh wind on that ship! did they used a cardioid polar pattern on this giant?

[@levelupkoi4671]

I live in Maafushi! Saw you on the street and waved! Been following for a while for your epic gopro content!

[@tsrubal111]

Is it super cloudy in the Maldives right now? Or can we get some 🌞

[@lu_4s122]

Incroyable les ralentis !!! Ils ont été réalisés au montage ou directement par la Go pro ? Comment les réaliser ???

[@Peterc5699]

Is this internal audio? Didn't notice any external mics?? Really good if it is!

[@TheKidsInTheRoom]

What settings did you use for this video? And you mentioned lens you used the most on this Hero 11gp? Did you say wide or linear?

[@SystemDesign-pro]

hey love your video. what's your video LUTs? looks very good

[@RajaramSethuraman]

Why is the bike ride (8:10) so shaky? Was that also on the goPro?

[@varunkumar7392]

Benjamin what have ya done for this nice voice output despite its too windy....??

[@dimitridel222]

Top, tu utilise quoi comme calorimétrie ou lut stpppp

[@OzzySafa]

What the reason for flying barefoot. Is it to do with feeling the response of the rudder pedals more?

[@michaeljohn2772]

Hello. I would like to know which application do you use to edit your video and to color upgrade pictures and videos too please?

[@dolgie]

how much does the quality of 5k depend on 4k on KZbin? In what normal mode does the Go Pro 11 shoot?

[@SteveNilsen]

Stock camera or dome for the split water/air shots?

[@WalkerPJ280505]

Scrolling through KZbin trying to find what to waych, then notifications goes off and bam I have something good to watch.

[@siminicoli777]

Amazing content and probably the best blogger out there for me, I love your videos! To be honest, I think the one for the 10 was way better tho.. Keep it up, cheers from Switzerland :)

[@BenjaminOrtega]

I agree with you, the storytelling and te build up were better in the H10 video. But I also did way more things in it and had a bit more time to edit 😉

[@stephentrepreneur]

Suddenly convinced to get the '11. Thanks!

[@JaydenLawson]

Great video with the GoPro HERO11 Black! Would love to go there some day

Thanks brother!!

[@abilashcherian1666]

Beautiful drone footage🔥🔥😍, can you please let me know the drone brand. I loved it

[@twosdayswithtk]

is this just the media mod mic? I cant see an external mic attached to the GoPro... Did they update something?

[@twosdayswithtk]

It sounds pretty good even being on a boat cruising!

[@BenjaminOrtega]

Yea only media mod mic. I didn’t want to use any other external mics, just so it’s a way more practical mini vlogging setup. And I also used equalizers to nail the sound!

[@twosdayswithtk]

@@BenjaminOrtega dang... I use mine in a pinch, but that on the boat blew my mind!

[@ImTeboo]

Hey Benjamin, can u tell me the Drone brand and type? Thanks

[@SoloXCII]

Did you need a permit to use your drone? If yes, how did you apply for one?

Thank you 🫶🏻

Super nice Benni!!!💙💙💙💙

[@justadddirt]

What mic are you useing when filming this?

[@JoeClement]

Everyone is saying that the DJI avatas new built in camera is really good quality but you've attached the new gopro to the top of it like people were doing for the old dji fpv... Is the quality still very bad on the avata? I'm so close to buying but also so hesitant haha great vlogs man!

[@X99Zero]

Would love to see your take on DJI Action 3

[@marcofunari9966]

Bellissimo Benj!!! unfortunately the sea was a bit dirty!!! btw...as always, really precious edit...and inspiring!

sea is not dirty...he said it - plankton. Nutrients in water make the water a bit murky. without it no mantas.
