GoPro launches a new Hero Black update in the form of the Hero 11 Black Mini camera that is more than just a smaller design. It is also slightly more narrow than the traditional Hero 11 Black camera when looking at it directly from the front. This means that it is only slightly smaller and about 5mm deeper.
With this new update, it may lack displays and a viewfinder. Additional new changes include the lack of a touchscreen so accessing the menu will be different with the settings in a small display at the top. This is reminiscent of some of the company's earlier designs such as the Hero 4 and earlier. Other options include mode settings and shooting mode with the rest accessible through the app.
