GoPro has officially launched its newest action camera model, 'The GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini,' which is essentially a shrunk-down version of the brand's previously released flagship camera, 'The GoPro Hero 11.'
Thanks to its compact size and HyperView digital lens, the GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini is perfect for drone footage applications. Other standout features of the mini action cam include shot framing and 360-degree horizon locking. One difference between the mini and regular models is that the mini comes with a built-in battery that cannot be removed. However, the battery is made using the same Enduro technology as the larger version.
Interested consumers can purchase the 'GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini' on GoPro's website as well as at select electronics retailers.
