GoPro Hero 11 Mini

If you don’t want all the bells and whistles and just want an honest-to-goodness action camera with all the Hero 11 Black video credentials, then the Mini is it. It also feels like it would make a good secondary camera for a different angle. Similarly, if you use a full-size GoPro for drone FPV footage (rather than the dedicated “Bones” camera) then the Mini is also a great option for that - plus you get a camera you can use elsewhere, too (unlike Bones).

Despite its smaller size and the absence of screens, the Hero 11 Black Mini features similar specs in comparison with the standard Hero 11 Black when it comes to video resolution, stabilization tech, and performance. And, it is priced at almost $100 less. However, since the standard Hero 11 Black is already pretty compact, it’s unlikely that you’d want to go with the Mini only due to its compact size.
