Users can easily change between all digital lens options in the GoPro Quik app and apply to photos and videos after capture.

HyperSmooth 5.0

Dramatic improvement in stabilisation for all 4:3 aspect ratio video and SuperView footage.
All-New AutoBoost: A dynamic adjustment that only applies HyperSmooth when camera detects shake.
Horizon Lock
Give your videos the look of professional productions by keeping the horizon steady, straight and smooth when using the Linear+ Horizon Lock digital lens. HERO11 Black delivers Horizon Lock, which keeps your footage steady even if your camera rotates a full 360° during capture. Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon Lock delivers super smooth footage that looks perfectly straight when you want it to. You won’t need a gimbal or stabilization software for pro-quality results.
Easy + Pro Controls
HERO11 Black features two control options that let you choose from point-and-shoot simplicity or full camera control with the ability to adjust every mode and setting.
Easy Controls: Come preloaded with ultra-versatile capture settings that are great for most shots. You’ll notice fewer settings and capture choices so you can just frame your shot and hit the Shutter button for amazing results.
Pro Controls: Unlock presets that let you choose the best settings for your shot (Standard, Activity, Cinematic, Slo-Mo and more), plus the ability to fine-tune all modes, settings and features.
New Night Effects
Three all-new Time Lapse presets easily capture art in the dark directly on the camera, no post-production required.
Star Trails: Uses the earth’s rotation to create star trails across the night sky. Users can control trail length using on-screen controls.
Light Painting: Uses a long exposure in dark environment to create brush stroke effects with moving light.
Vehicle Light Trails: Uses a long exposure in dark environments to create light trails from moving vehicles.
Front + Rear LCD Screens
Frame your shots perfectly with either the front or rear LCD screen. Use the large rear touch screen to capture the scene in front of you or turn your camera around and use the front screen for vlogging and self-capture. The front screen features smooth live preview with crisp detail, while the rear screen’s snappy touch controls make it easy to swap capture modes and adjust settings on the fly.
Power Tools
Nail shots the easy way with Power Tools. HindSight captures up to 30 seconds of footage before you start recording, even if you press the shutter too late, you’ll still get the shot. There’s also Scheduled Capture, which lets you set your GoPro to turn itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance, and Duration Capture, which makes it easy to capture video clips from 15 seconds to 3 hours long.
Webcam + Live Streaming
Use the HERO11 Black as an ultra-versatile webcam or live stream your next activity as you vlog with buttery HyperSmooth video stabilization and sharp resolution.
GPS Performance Stickers
Turn on this feature and get real-time animated overlays that display your speed, altitude, track position and G-forces. It’s a visual way to show off your stats and give your videos a professional vibe.
Rugged + Waterproof
Completely waterproof and as tough as ever, HERO11Black is versatile enough for any adventure. It’s built to take a beating and keep going, whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (to depths of 10m). The durable and scratch-resistant lens cover adds even more protection and can be easily replaced if needed.
