Man. I can’t imagine how many hours this took to put together. Congrats

[@thegraffitiwriterknowsas6821]

Thank you! someone finally speaking out about this. GoPro has the action camera scene so monopolized they just don't seem to care at all about quality anymore. Their company has been on such a heavy downward spiral over the years and they do nothing besides take notes from apple limit you and make things worse. Something DRASTICALLY needs to be done. I miss the old days when GoPros were strong as a tank, they didn't glitch constantly, the software systems were simple and easy, everything was compatible with 3rd party accessories and you didn't need to constantly connect your camera to your phone for weird reasons. GoPro please figure it out

[@nicksangetta8874]

I own two GoPro 9s and I have upgraded to the 11. I couldnt DISAGREE more with the critiques in this video more. First off the Gopro 11 has 10-bit color. Which completely clowns the 9's color and went totally unmentioned in this video. Like the dude didnt even know about it. Then he puts it into a funky hyperview or whatever and then complains it looks distorted. Well duh! You are trying to cram more field of view in to the same size frame, of course its gonna look effed up. If you want it to look normal, use the linear mode. And lastly, the Enduro batteries are completely superior to the old ones. I can get an hour per battery turning it off and on and when leaving it on continuously I gave gotten 1 hour and 16 mins.. I might have gotten 30 minutes off one of those old blue batteries. Plus, I do go out in the snow. With the old batteries the camera was basically a paperweight at temps under 55 degrees. It would last 6 or 7 seconds and shut off. With the Enduro batteries I have yet to encounter that issue once.. honestly, its sad this video has so many views when the content creator is giving such an inaccurate review of the product.

[@zytoses9223]

@@nicksangetta8874 I looked back and forth like twice and could see a night and day difference between the two. details and colours most notably. I just got my 11 and admitedly at least in darker scenes there does appear to be a stuttering of footage but only in certain environments using superview, something that should be easily fixed. The battery seems fine to me, I went on a 3.5/4 hour hike taking clips every 5 or so minutes in 4k 60fps and it died just at the end. a neat feature that seems gimmicky but I liked was the voice commands and when the cameras powered down you can still press record and it will start, when finished it will turn itself off. not sure if its been around a while but I liked it. I'd say if you have the previous two, don't bother as there isn't enough difference to invest.

[@nicksangetta8874]

@@zytoses9223 I love the voice commands. Although on the 11 they removed the ability to turn the camera ON with voice commands. Pretty stupid.. but it still works for the rest of the commands. I hardly ever press the actual buttons. But the color upgrade was worth it for me to upgrade from the 9 to 11. It looks so much better in my opinion.. plus I no longer have to film in flat and add the color later. The vivid setting on the 9 is absolute garbage. It was unusable.

[@IncredibleTS]

DJI seems to be lookin better and better... (in terms of value I mean)

[@feet_ichiste5846]

Why no answer for a simple question..? Most People are rude

[@logan-taylor]

I also had this problem and just switched from GoPro to Insta360 and it was SO worth it. You have way more field of view, it’s more immersive when youre watching riding footage, and it also gives more flexibility in editing as a helmet cam.

[@therealrealshocker]

I'm about to do the same

[@Omissilem]

I was sooo wondering about this, I have a 9 and was wondering whether to buy the 360 or upgrade. Guess I’m going 360. Thanks surronster !

[@logan-taylor]

@Bandit X2 i think! Been working great so far.

[@delasse3178]

i just switched from the Insta360 Go 2 to the DJI Action 2. Loving the Action 2

[@laidbaqq]

I have a fusion and I am also considering it. The fact they haven't even added tracking, then mentioned they have no plans for a newer GP Max.

[@Iockbit]

cant wait to have the bike swapped with the ko kit. heard its extremely powerful and the motor doesnt actually overheat as easily as the stock sur ron motor

[@YaTuChavez]

I use the Hero9 with the Max Lens. Haven’t upgraded to the 11 but the hyperview distortion would make me feel “sea sick” in a way if I watch it back. I’m okay with staying at 2.7k with the Max lens on the 9. At least until they fix the issue

[@CrayonboxAviationAdventures]

What happens when you take GPH9 RAW GPR photos with the lens mod on?

[@melvin3509]

I like the max lens look. It's not as oversharpened, the distortion is much more acceptable and I do in fact think the FOV is bigger. It may just not look like it because of the very extreme distortion in HyperView. Just look at your comparison at 8:11. With max lens you can see the plant and leaves on the right, while you cannot in HyperView.

[@spro_halver8553]

Yeah i was going to say that i saw more on the right with the max lens and then it vanished when he went to stock

[@pokettomonsta]

You are right I missed that part, thanks

[@falconfpv8658]

superview and hyperview give you an increase in vertical FOV but at the cost of the distortion. It's kind of like stretching a 4:3 image into a 16:9, but gopro does this a little different by keeping the center normal and it moves all the stretching to the sides to give it a warped look.

[@alessandro.marinoni]

It looks like the Max Lens increases horizontal fov at the expense of vertical fov compared to hyperview, while also reducing distortion, so it boils down to use case and preference

[@Godsillah88]

it has wider fov horizontally, but narrower vertically.

[@kadosh8457]

Wait, but you can transfer the image / video through the computer. It will be proud of its quality. Right?

[@kadosh8457]

I mean if I copy the pictures through a computer. It will remain the same quality. Right?

[@user-rs2hw5zx4e]

[@ChrisRogers]

Hey Man, hate to be that guy but it seems like you didn't actually know what you were buying when you bought the max lens mod haha it's only purpose is to create better stabilisation in a wide FOV. so you can have the horizon locked with it on and the lens is still wide and not linear like the camera does without the mod. that's literally it, it's niche product for sure but is amazing when used for certain things. Honestly I think what you need is a 360 camera like the GoPro MAX or Insta360

[@DGCastell]

i'm absolutely with you on the issue with non-existent desktop support for telemetry edition. using the phone to edit is nuts!

[@goncalomatias3637]

can't you use gyroflow desktop app?

[@DGCastell]

@@goncalomatias3637 never heard of it, will take a look. 👍🏼

[@lancealat3791]

You can connect GoPro to your computer with usb c

[@TMVideoProductions]

If you want to preserve the original video quality but still have a telemetry overlay, I have a workflow that, I think, does a really good job. I use Race Render to create the data overlay and I export it as a video file with just the data overlay on top of a blue screen, not the gopro video. Then I import the data overlay video file and the gopro video files into my video editor. I chroma key out the blue background on the data overlay video track. This way you end up with a data overlay but don't have to run your gopro video through an extra processing step that could degrade the quality of the video.

[@slapshotjack9806]

Sounds like a good idea I’ve always been wondering why even after following all the instructions from my camera to KZbin my videos always come out looking like shit while everyone else’s is like a cinematic film

[@philheathslegalteam]

@@slapshotjack9806 do not export HEVC. KZbin cannot handle h265 compression well and always outputs shit results. Always export H264 then go to KZbin.

Man I love your vids, this was awesome, thanks for taking the time to go through all the ins and outs of this new cam 🤝🤝🤝

[@MsSpicynipples]

Max mod gives a wider shot but not a taller shot. If you shoot 4:3 with the max and then stretch it to 16:9 in software you can get some really interesting results that way. The main purpose of the max is to get horizon leveling

[@laidbaqq]

As a GoPro Fusion user, who bought the device when it was a year after being discontinued -- I feel your pain. They have even removed the resource pages from their website, so we must fully rely on Facebook Groups for info. Then come to find out, one of the issues with a specific app not allowing users to import/export and edit footage, is an expiration date on the music library -- which many of us will never use!

[@CHUNKYNUGGET666]

Big props for telling them how it is! God damn we need more ppl like you 💪

[@palmtrees89]

I think the only reason to have the max lens mod is if you're doing flips and whatnot and need the horizon level all the time. .other than that, image will def. look like shhhh. But it's nice to see someone else out there totally skipped hero 10 and went to 11. That's what I did. Hero 9 to Hero 11. For the most part, I'm satisfied with the upgrade. Can't hate on it. .and the more coloring with the 10 bit color. I notice the difference in my playback footage. But I really like the higher frame rate with higher resolution for recording my dog in motion. His slo mo is great. Had to update my external hard drive capacity [to 20tb] to keep all the footage. These videos of my dog will be cherished for all time in the future. Love that little guy. . .

[@WingMan1964]

The Max lens mod was developed for the GoPro 9, and it worked with the 10. The GoPro 11 does not need the Max lens mod, although it can be used on it.

[@hiddencitypictures]

Exactly, why buy a Hero 11 and an upgrade to the camera that you are upgrading away from?

[@DanDennedy]

Uh, for larger sensor, 10-bit color, builtin 360° horizon lock (no max lens needed), and higher frame rates for top resolutions over the 9.

[@hiddencitypictures]

@@DanDennedy my point is that he bought an upgrade that is meant for the camera he's moving away from. The Max lens mod was built for the Hero 9, but still helped the Hero 10. The Hero 11 is compatible with the mod, but it won't improve it.

[@EBikeBuilder_]

I liked hyperview at first. but when i watch it on a big screen it gives me a headache. I think the 8:7 Wide works better. and then just crop some of the top and bottom off to make it 16:9

[@budgetbiker7]

For max lens mod: rec in 2.7k 4:3 then squish it in post to 16:9 This will get you the fov you want. Idk how it compares to HyperView but its wider than superview (I have a hero 10)

[@thomasmartinscott]

I have the Hero 8 Black and the Hero 10 Black. Unless I'm shooting myself, where I can see the front lens of the 10, I find I'm using the 8 the most, because all the features I really need are there. There was a definite improvement from the 8 to the 10 with that front screen. I never had a 9, so I don't know if that was already there or not. I do NOT see enough difference in the 11 to justify an "upgrade".

[@tnybrnd]

This is my first time seeing your channel and I enjoyed the video. I have used the gopro 5,7,8,10, Max and now the 11. I definitely agree with your review. The mobile and desktop app need the upgrades more than the cameras now. I am selling two of my 8’s and the max to get the X3.

[@estebanfranco8955]

I don't have a new one but I think you get more "features" with the newer ones and because of that they use more battery life, so it cancels out the extra Mha they put in the battery. maybe they should figure out better cooling since all the software running in the background is causing over heating issues with the camera and slowly killing the battery

[@dronyland]

Great review indeed. I am glad I kept my GoPro 9 and never upgraded to the 11. Also, man I SUPER agree with you about the crappy phone app, while not having any real desktop computer application to use. Even Insta360 who offers phone editing app for their 360 cameras, have also a desktop app available to use (which is the only one I use). I don't understand how people can make professional editing using their phone, which is not made for this at all. 🤔 PS: Non related to GoPro but had to add this; Be careful out there with your bike. I saw you ride in a "wild" way sometimes, which looks pretty cool on camera, until you get hit by a distracted driver, and then it will look less cool from the hospital's bed (talking from experience).

I just upgraded to the GoPro Hero 11 too but im waiting for it to come in... Im a huge camera nerd and like getting into the manual settings when it comes to photos and videos. I know its really convinient to just have standard 4k 60fps on and record but you should totally try messing with the manual "protune" settings. Something like 4k 30fps / 60 shutter speed / iso min: 100 / iso max: 1600 / throw a little 32ND or even a 16ND filter on the front and record with hyper smooth turned off... Just a thought cause thats what i record most of my stuff with. Ive also been messing around with different export settings on premiere pro to find the best, high bit rate export it gives me without saving a huge video file. But yeah man i love the channel and love the content! Cant wait to see more videos! Love from Miami Florida.

[@delasse3178]

I've never had a gopro but I got the DJI Action 2 and love it. It's much more of a blend of a mini-cam or vlogging cam in comparison to the Action 1, Action 3, or GoPro, but the imagine quality is great and it's really a very wonderful product.

[@TheOriginalMarimoChan]

I will check out DJI - I've had it with Go Pro.

[@delasse3178]

the Action 4 is more than likely the one you'll want now, kind of depends for use case. Some quirks with the Action 2 but it's also in a league of it's own as a small camera. The Pocket 1 + 3 are also great. Even DJI had the Pocket 1 refurbished for 99 or 109 recently, I forget. Lot of camera for the price, and the stabilization is better on the pocket than any mainstream digital stabilization, such as whatever newest GoPro.@@TheOriginalMarimoChan

Damn that was brutal and hilarious af. Appreciate you doing the leg work for us 🤘 thinkin ill stick with my one rs for now

[@WilliamForrestBrownell]

If you want more bike and sky have you tried filming in the 4:3 mode? That way the sensor isn’t cropped vertically. You can always stretch it back to 16:9 in post if that’s the ratio you want, but you’ll get the full view.

[@DerekSteen]

The HERO11 will record uncropped 5.3K 8:7 aspect ratio. Hyperview is just taking that and stretching it to 16:9. I’m a big fan of 16:9 but I’d prefer watching the unstretched 8:7 for your riding content. Also, when using the Max Lens Mod, you can keep the GoPro in normal mode (I.e., not enabling Max Lens Mode) and it will record a fisheye circle view. This will get you a much wider angle. Especially if you use the full 8x7 aspect ratio. Loved the video! I never considered some of your needs for a GoPro. It’s a huge bummer they haven’t kept the desktop software up-to-date!

[@danvinogradov138]

It records 8:7 but KZbin uses a 19:9 aspect ratio so that's what you're seeing

[@zerooneonetwothree1872]

​@@danvinogradov138 You can upload the 4:3 or 8:7 to youtube. You can check that if you download the video, but when you go full screen on youtube, it will ofc have bezels on the side if you have 16:9 monitor, or am i missing something? I was using 4:3 monitor on youtube and if i play 4:3 video, it is full screen

[@navdoc73]

I bought my 2nd GoPro Hero 11 black yesterday and my first GoPro was around 2016 . Gopro's have completely changed from just being a action camera to cool looking gadgets now .

It's sad , how the company just keep marketting what their cams can do now rather how a GoPro was initially

[@Lucy_chan]

I think the whole point of max lens is to get undistorted superview and 360 horizon lock. would be cool if it was wider than hyperview :/

Honestly for our use-case, there hasn't been any useful improvement since the GP7. I often edit vids with shots from various GP from 7 to 10 and honestly, I'd have a hard time telling the difference!

[@simonwyndham]

Depends on colour saturation. A problem I had with the older GoPros was that when they filmed highly saturated colours in bright sunshine, the colour information would clip in a really strange way, and bright reds would often get rendered as orange or sometimes pink. With bright kayaking kit it was a problem. There's no such issues with the new cameras as the colour science has been improved considerably.

[@MTO_Brothers]

​@@simonwyndham Yeah. On the other hand, on the GP7 flat colour is really flat whereas since the 8, it's more contrasted… Each version has its pros & cons and each version works quite fine once you dialled everything in Protune. The issue you mention was probably most noticeable with auto White balance I guess.

@@MTO_Brothers i've owned the 7, 8, 9 and 10. the only one left is the 7b..... the rest got fat, heavy , lost useful features like live view during recording, support of the older remote, cases started to change and crashed more than the 7. the new gopro app is just crap and refuse to use it when i have Tbs on my PC free for editing files with ONE transfer.

So looking forward for the KO MOTOR upgrade. My stock motor on the surron has packed up after only 1800 miles and I have done no upgrades.

[@simonwyndham]

Hmm, not sure I agree with most of this. Remember, the Max Lens Mod was brought out for the HERO9. It's an older product, and yes, it can still be used with the HERO11, but I feel that it's a legacy product. The good news is that the taller sensor on the 11 would open up the ability to create a new Max Lens Mod that focusses its imaging circle on the same sensor area that is used in the new Linear + Horizon lock mode. If GoPro did that, then it should be possible to get an ultra-wide field of view in 4K with full horizon lock. Whether they will do it or not is another matter, but it's technically possible. Regards to editing, yeah, it's not great if there is that problem with telemetry, although GoPro hasn't discontinued the desktop app. It's now the GoPro Player and incorporates ReelStead. Maybe they'll add telemetry again to it in the future. One thing I will say is that although the colours on the DJI Action 3 are not quite as good as GoPro, the Ultra-wide mode on it is, well, truly ultra-wide. I'm hoping GoPro increases the FOV on future cameras to compete, since the Action 3 does so with comparatively little distortion. But it's all good for competition.

[@coconutfpv]

There is actually an desktop app, now called gopro quick, which now have built in reelsteady stabilisation (that's a plus, perhaps the only one, but with gyroflow it's now pretty useless and limited) or how functional it is, since it's win10+ only (or OS10.9.x+). Max Lens was actually quite good on H9B with the timelapses/warps (the stab was slightly better for road footage). It's kind of useful if you fly RC/para/skydive/airsoft (if you're extremely careful or hack up some protection for it). It's best is actually at regular vlogging (even held sideways), just walking/running around, but the lack of ability to control exposure with it on in both video and photo makes it rather an ocassionally useful novelty, than a fully useful feature. As for scratching, i've been hammering at gopro about it at every possible occasion since max lens mod came out via every possible media, haven't received a single response about it, seems like they just don't give a f*, and the fact that there are actually protective covers for Hero Max and they decided to make max mod incompatible with it just and the salt to the wounds. The secret bonus is if you run MLM on a regular settings in wide/sv, you'll get that old school fish eye effect that was used back in the day in skateboarding videos and you can shoot some quite neat "planet" like photos. The fact that H11 is still locked at 2.7k60 like h9 was is ridiculous. You're already highly limited with ability to take long exposures since h9, no clue how much h11 changes that with it's "light painting" modes, but by the way changes are occurring within gopro i'd bet the ability to adjust them is rather limited, as they keep on trying to make it "easier" in use for ordinary people at the cost of any more serious tweaking of the settings for people that even barely scratched the surface of photo/video-graphy, so the whole meaning of pro mode settings went down the drain from h8 and up. Every touch screen responsivity since h6b is like going back to first touch screen smartphones - you smash it ten times, then it detects you pressed on the other side of the screen and i'd be surprised if it's any better than h9b, altho that's a really low hanging fruit, and even if it is, it doesn't mean sht if it's not at the very least h6b responsive (protective hardened glass included). On top of that, gopro app now requires access to your phone and contacts for some reason (totally not stealing any info - they even say that in a notice, so it must be true) in order to let you connect with the camera, making h11mini a complete garbage with no ability to change the setting at all (unless you don't mind companies collecting your data in exchange for ability to change even the most basic settings). But hey, you can now make videos for instagram and tiktok with it (like you couldn't just turn it sideways before... no sir, that's just insane). SO YEAH... they just keep f*ing things up, and as much as i hate DJI and Insta, i'll highly reconsider getting any other gopro ever again. Just way too many red flags popping up all the time, and it's ridiculous that chinese companies start to look more user friendly than an american one. The only worthy mod is Skyreat anamorphic lens, but only for gimballed/drone footage (since the built in stabilization messes up the image by shifting the crop value for some f*in reason making whole video wavy n floaty) it'll give you more natural, cinematic feel to videos and fix the fish eye to a degree, however you'll need to run it in linear mode and despite it being an extra wide lens, you'll end up with slightly lower FOV than regular wide setting (at least for best performance; still better looking than gp in wide tho, similarly to gopro video run through reelsteady or gyroflow, but wider and less distorted, cause the edges are not stretched in post so there's no loss in quality). You can run it in wide and remove the vignette in post, resulting in slightly higher fov than regular wide but it's kinda strange at the edges. It basically allows you to make 16:9 go to 21:9 or 4:3 to 16:9 giving you some "extra" sides or headspace and removing the fish eye, but then again - it's reduced fov due to linear mode and no stabilization, so i don't know how useful it would be for your type of content, but i assume not much, if at all.

Nice video, I love the new GoPro. Can you please keep the speedometer in the top left 👍 Also the hyperview looks amazing

[@Mr.Goat_]

I think the hero 11 was a great upgrade. There is almost no wind noises (which there are on the hero 9), the colors and the more fps makes a big difference for the video, and the hyperview is a great upgrade from the superview. i dont see why to hate it except for the max lens which doesnt make a big difference except the distortion. anyways great video with good comparisons :)

[@PoseidonProductions]

I think it's more about how everything gopro puts out comes with issues right out the box. Yes it works as stated, but it still overheats, still gets screen if death, has super view but super distorted... it's not ideal. I can't tell you how often the gopro fails on me the moment I really need it, it's not a consistent workhorse at all. It is a temperamental drama queen and we are calling them out

[@Mr.Goat_]

@@PoseidonProductions definelty if you’re living in a “warm” country the Gopro is not ideal. But for fx Denmark and Norway its fine cause it isnt too hot up here.

[@ernestasandrijauskas2348]

Honest review, thanks for the video! Yes, it seems not a huge improvement on the field of view at the top and bottom. But seems, that you compare not very correct, with different Hypersmooth options (and that cause more cuts on video footage). Try with turned off Hyperboost stabilization and horizon leveling, because it uses more crop. What's draining the battery most is GPS and Wi-Fi, so turn it off to extend battery life. The quality of the Quik app is the same as the original file, just make sure you export at the same highest quality of original footage and check all the boxes for quality, not compression, and then better select h.264.

[@robindogra2258]

Hey bro! you have very good audio, how are you recording your audio? I mean which equipment you are using to record your voice for this video? your answer will be really appreciated

[@dxrrk]

honestly i'd much prefer the 11 black becuase the 60fps is nice, and the hyperview looks amazing too compared to the 9.

[@JacobSherwood]

Dear God this couldn’t be more on point. So many good observations. GoPro needs to step their game up.

[@virgiloco5078]

I hope GoPro is seeing this and listen to what have happen. do you think they are going down in quality and their R&D department is slacking or just sabotaging their product? Great Video bro! when are you coming back to the Bay area? take care and be safe!

[@sffpv9671]

Awesome real life review. Looking for a camera for Drone FPV filming, what's your recommendation?

[@nickGEdc]

Hyperview looks 🔥

[@dontdowhatido6503]

what if you try hyper view mode with the max lens. maybe more fov?

[@skippyfpvexperimentalrc6755]

You should use HyperView and buy reelsteady and just turn off the stabilization to use the lens correction. Then HyperView will look better, and it will only crop just a bit.

[@sebsadventures41]

Hi man, love your review. Right on point! And i know, is DAMN frustrating that there is no App for desktop anymore, and freaking annoying to do it on the phone. I was hoping that with the new GoPro (11) we gonna get the Desktop app back, but obviously i was wrong :(

[@chriswhear4625]

I'm able to use GoPro Quik desktop app on my Mac, Only thing that doesn't seem to work is deleting, despite saying it has it doesn't delete old footage.

[@Mudvillewayz]

I just got the 11 Creator package and also picked up to max lens, you are correct they do scratch ez lol I had one for my 9 dropped my GoPro a and the only thing that got damaged was the lens😢 what do you use for you audio

[@irealityseek]

That 4k 60fps was gorgeous! I am thinking of getting a gopro hero 11 as a KZbin camera and for outside, is it worth? I am 1:39 into the video, chill

[@mirko_paoloni]

I would raccomend you to film for POV only in 4:3 or using the new format 8x7. Keep it up!

[@saxmoe]

Hi great video, thanks for the info, can you tell me what editing software you use thank you.

[@hhyling8483]

I have a brand new go pro 11, it worked fine in the beginning but for some reason, the video footage has this "stop/continue" thing, so it freezes for a 1/10 of a second and then continues, and this happens 2/3 times a second. its all brand new, the sd card is a 256 gb samsumg evo ( so not the best, but it should be good enough), do you have any idea?

[@TorksTube]

nice video bro!, i want to know, what is the best SD card to use whit gopro?

[@mubasheermahmood9296]

Agree with the battery situation. I hope they are improved for hot weather too.

[@zjgvergara]

In the max lens I can see the tree to the right. You can definitely see more with it. The distortion is just so extreme that the objects near the edges are way smaller than the object in the middle.

[@epicbucketlist]

You are hilarious.... Keep up the good spirit. As for the Telemetry setup for videos, I was bummed out when GoPro removed it from the desktop app. Not sure why, but it sucks to do it on the Quick App. 😭😡

[@theknifedude1881]

Are you selling your BAC 4000? Your current favorite battery provider is ChiBattery? I’m not @ all tech savvy,but want to upgrade to 72 Volt. I’m 79 years old and like the light weight of the SurRon.

[@hellounclesim]

Thanks for the video. Great riding footage and great info!

[@moysey89]

how do you get the speed in the corner?

[@cborel83]

the max mod is like the 360 cams. it gets rid of distortion by cropping that's why its only 2.7k. Thanks for the review I didn't know it would be that bad. I have the insta 360x3 now thinking of sending it back and getting the GoPro hero11

[@ptmdash2723]

Hey, Surronster can you make a video on how to do the battery settings on the bac 4000 I just got the 4000 yesterday and I’m getting the battery tomorrow and I don’t know how to do the settings I got the 72 V gladiator Max

[@nickolaslandon4640]

So glad you are getting a KO motor!! Are you doing their contoller too? It will be sooo cool when they release their IOS app and display

[@fatedhunter2805]

I use the Hero7 for mainly BMX clips, and I've gotta say it's pretty good. The battery life is also good for a 2 year old camera. I haven't replaced it once since I bought the camera to. It's battery life lasts for a good session (Around 2-3 hours). It's quality is up to around 1280p and 60fps so it also gives a pretty good clean edge to it. I haven't really seen the point of upgrading to a better camera cause there's really no point currently

[@ClaymorePvP]

I was gonna get a 7 on my helmet for safety when riding, good choice or should I get a 6?

[@fatedhunter2805]

@@ClaymorePvP I'd recommend the 7 since it's really the only gopro model i've used, and im pretty sure it has better battery life than the 6 to

[@ClaymorePvP]

@@fatedhunter2805 I decided on the 8 because on amazon its 160$ cheaper than the 7 lol

[@grizzle2015]

You can see a wider fov with max lense. You can use the sprinkler head on the left hand side in the planter and the tree on the right as reference.

[@aussierednecksinger28]

You seriously need to do voice overs for Disney with that voice of yours. One of the youtubers I worked with to make famous, her aunt used to make 400k per episode voicing Bart Simpson. Could be worth you getting into. Part of your channel growth is that your voice is the voice of the Sur Ronster character. You're not (I won't mention your real name) any more. You're Sur Ronster. Your voice makes you that fun, 15 yr old, ebike, wheely kid.

[@mvemerson]

LOL. Love this video. Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't find your video until AFTER I purchased a GoPro 11. Looking forward to class-action suits.

[@emmi-san]

max lens mod ie the gopro max (360 cam)? I thought you only got it if you wanted horizon leveling on your shots.

[@Smokey00]

hyperview looks little weird, also when you busing out the mx650 again?

[@Motovlogimx]

Can u tell me for setting protune gopro 9 or 11 you used for your videos ??

I’m gonna say 300k subs by November, surronster has to be my all time favorite KZbinr as of rn lmfao

Hi, I got the GoPro 11.. used 4K 60FPS Superview whilst on my Motorbike.. but I can't get my macbook pro (2020) to open/recognise any of the MP4 files? Tried Handbrake to convert and even that isn't recognising it?
