It is finally here!! After hearing about this camera in leaks and then two delays to launch I finally have my hands on the new GoPro Mini. I take it for a test spin and share my thoughts on flying and color grading the new camera.

@GoPro Год назад

Thank you for putting HERO11 Black Mini to the test + showing us your color grading process. Excited to see more flights with Mini in the future. 👍

@stingersswarm Год назад

I’m really liking this new camera. GoPro labs really takes it to the next level. I may have to make a video showing off all the features and just how much you can really tweak this camera.

@Mxoderberg Год назад

Great comparison between the 2 major contenders👍🏻 Can't decide which to get, or both!😫 Is there any real benefit to pay extra for the dual screen vs power combo on the Action 2 for fpv?

@alexredhair Год назад

I flew on my 4s nazgul Evoque and definitely noticed the weight difference. Not sure the best way to over compensate, but I coming from using a action 2. Image quality great and stabilisation though. Hoping for a sunny/dry day to properly test it in uk.

@TomicaCZ Год назад

Stingy, your beard is f***ing MASSIVE!!! Love it!

@PMcDFPV Год назад

Great video man! Im glad I held off on getting the Action 2, I almost did, but I think Im just gonna save up for this or look for a good used 8

Just got the 11 mini too! It’s a bit heavy for sure (especially if you still run a 4s setup like I do), but man! The video quality is something else! Gonna remove the back of mine like you did, and make a mount in solidworks!

@Tavdog 9 месяцев назад

How have you managed to solve the jerky panning issue with the the hero11 ? Hypersmooth works great unless you are doing smooth pans while flying. It puts in little jerky movements which look very bad.

@P.G._FPV Год назад

Did you leave the Wifi on? I have heard that it can cause fail safe? I downloaded QRcontrol app and firmware but after doing so my videos were like it was setup in slow motion

@DaxNeal Год назад

Question brother. I may have missed it but any reduced flight time noticed? Is it significant?

@freemansfocus 8 месяцев назад

I just ordered one today, and haven't flown with a GoPro in a while. What's a good way to match the GoPro angle with the FPV Camera angle? Thanks for any info!

@_DAD-E Год назад

Dang. I just left Carolina Beach and never realized you lived that close.

@DriftaholiC Год назад

I highly suggest using a Leeming lut to correct each then drop whatever you want on that.

@MagicFPV Год назад

Perfect video! I’m switching from my Hero9s, so the weight saving will be nice 😁 Also - try ‘Command 7’ when using colour wheels! 😎 it’s a game changer

@stingersswarm Год назад

I have used the scopes in the past. It is really handy to get facial tones just right.

@wearesleepingsoundly Год назад

Your flying skills are nuts… Good grief! I’m looking at the mini to replace my Hero 9 for mountain biking… seeing it perform at this level in overcast light is crazy good!

@Another_Average_Mountain_Biker Год назад

Did you end up going to this? I've been eyeing it for the same purpose. Just wondering your thoughts of it.

@gre-vo Год назад

Tested the 10 bit color GH11 mini match to my Sony slog footage, she holds up! 🎉🎉🎉

@gre-vo Год назад

I did the same “yessss” to that 10bit color option 😂😂

@stingersswarm Год назад

Yeah I pushed it a bit. I'm curious just how far I can push it when I have better lighting.

@theflyinggrip Год назад

Nice to the point review…what does the body look like with the tabs removed? Does them missing effect the IP rating?

@stingersswarm Год назад

I'm not sure. I hope not.

@aphinion Год назад

Weight wise you could try a 5.5" like the AOS 5.5 to counterbalance the weight... I tried it and the difference to a 5" with that hero 9 on it is night and day... just so much authority and you can feel the drone being able to handle it much easier.

@DronoTron Год назад

Great video. Yeah I kept saying white balance white balance when you where scrolling through the config XD I feel the flat color on the 11 looks a bit saturated compared to the previous heros, what do you think?

@stingersswarm Год назад

I totally agree. I had to double check that I had even turned on flat colors

@thewhitedillard 8 месяцев назад

@StingersSwarm what frame are you running these days?

@FPVQuadModz Год назад

Hey Stingy, can you do a FCPx series over the winter? Im new to it and it would be sick to see you do a series on how you do an edit from start to finish.

@stingersswarm Год назад

I used to do live edits on twitch. It's kinda a pain to setup and do a whole edit. Maybe I can make some pointer videos.

@WhitewaterNB 9 месяцев назад

How is the battery life in the mini? I love the no screens but not being able to swap batteries has me worried.

@johnthemelis350 Год назад

Would you mind sharing what mount you are using for the SourceOne V5?

@andytroy Год назад

That original plastic GoPro screw is also pretty heavy, around 9.5 gr. You can get the aluminium one from the Apex DC, that one is 1.5 gr if I remember correctly.

@stingersswarm Год назад

Yeah I'm getting rid of the screw mount all together.

My AUW is less than that with the mini. It was 650 in this video.

@mikebergman1817 Год назад

Ahh man, I know all too well about those batteries being charged for way too long lol. After a week or two, I'll get this sick feeling about it, and go discharge them. Then inevitably it'll end up being nice out a day later, and they'll all get charged again. So goes the cycle. lol. Thank you for the stellar review!!!

Great review, thanks! I don’t know, maybe it’s the overcast day, but I wasn’t very impressed with the image quality. And the dynamic range doesn’t seem to be that great either. I expected more to be honest

@OriginaldoBo Год назад

My only gripe is with the new stabilization, it does some wonky things at time. Other than that solid camera

@SCFPV Год назад

If they'd return to the session form factor, I might be interested. I'm still flying my session 4 along with a few hero 5 blacks, and one heros 6 black. They all work for what I need them for, bought them all used on Ebay a few years ago for $100 or less each. I can't see throwing a 4,5, or $600+ Gopro on my kwad that will sooner or later kill it, Just me though. Never really needed the lastest and greatest. I let everybody else upgrade, then buy their old units at a heavily discounted price. 😆

@pineappleroad 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately it seems as though the session may never return I came across a response to a comment where they said that the Mini is as small as they could make it with the features that it has

@MachineManGabb Год назад

Yeeess!!! Finally dropped

@georgeaura Год назад

Does best buy have any trade in options or is it just directly through gopro?

@stingersswarm Год назад

I use total tech and you have two years of protection. Just trade it in when it’s smashed.

@Bannisterpost Год назад

It works out to the same weight as a hero6 once you remove both sets of feet which I think is actually perfect.

@iiZeiK Год назад

How would you mount it without the feets? Is a 3d printed mount lighter?

@Matty710 Год назад

also what settings are best for freestyle, wide or linear? i’m coming from an action 2 and hyper + superview look a bit strange

@BOTGRINDER Год назад

@@stingersswarm omg its been so long i forgot the session did that too haha, good to know.

Still don't see a point to upgrade from a hero 8. Hero 8 with a ND Filter and setup correctly with locked white balance, flat profile, ISO locked 100-400, shutter speed locked, stabilized in post, and color graded will look superb and you have removable batteries, SD card, and still weighs less than the 11.
