Hero9 black - https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/gopro-hero-9-black-chdhx-901-…
Hero11 black mini - https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/gopro-hero11-black-mini-chdhf…
Store stock only, with reasonable availability in Melbourne from what I can see.
I know 9 and 10 the accessories are compatible
Anyone checked against the GGC site?
9 = $374.00 / 11 = $454.00
Do these still overheat in basically any weather above 20c?
My Hero 11 never does. To be fair I record at 2.7K and not 4K which helps.
It depends what you're doing… If you're using it as a webcam sitting on a table inside you're likely to have issues…
I've had no issues with my 10 Black overheating @ 4k 50fps, hiking/boating/fishing/cycling/motorbike/helmet cam/general travels…. Even when I run it powered from a powerbank for many hours straight in 30's temperatures in full sun it's been fine… (helmet cam for desert crossings)
I've been through 3 of the newer GoPros, they all failed me when I needed them most, would freeze all the time. Got a DJI action 4 recently and I'll never go back to GoPro. They have gone downhill since about the 3 imo.
Mmmm yeah this is my concern.
If I'm using it to record rides or hiking or climbing I won't be constantly checking the camera.
That would drive me nuts to find it froze half way through a ride
Yea, i think yr right! This is what most of the reviews are saying on YouTube,
I don't have either, i was going to get a go pro 12 at the black Friday event, but nobody has said the go pro over the dji 4.
Several have gone as far to say the hero 9 was the worst for reliability…
I haven't heard anything 'bad' about Dji 4 other then Chinese government involvement… 🤔
pls share where did you buy it (was it a discount ?) thanks
I've never had issues with my Hero 9 Black, while mounted to a matte black adventure moto helmet in the sun at 40c+
I’ve had the 9, 11 and now the 12. As far as I can tell the only time you get issues is with poor quality micro so cards. I’ve never had an issue with them. (Old hero’s sessions I have had bugs, but they are way old)
Over heating only happens when there’s no airflow over the camera.
I think YouTube reviews get more views by claiming issues. Check out DC Rainmaker for a good review regarding heat testing.
YMMV
Which cards are you running?
@camr00: SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO microSDXC Card For the high demand and Samsung 256GB EVO Plus Micro SD Memory Card for just standard filming.
which one to get for motorcycle helmet mount?
I’d go with the 11 mini. Has prongs on the back and bottom. And the last model with gps!
Although the Hero11 Black has GPS the Hero11 Black Mini doesn't, I'm pretty sure.
It's much of a muchness
I 3D printed a chin mount for my Fly Trekker helmet, but ended up just drilling a hole through the peak and mounting a screw on gopro clamp through the hole
FYI Hero 9 is known to have issues and isn't really an upgrade over Hero 8 by any means at all.
My research says the same thing, hero 9 was buggy…
Saw it at $299 at OW the other day.
hero 9 has the old processor, it feel lag and slow .. that's why i sold it to get a 10 2 years ago.
10 is much much better and smoother !
Which model is it where there were basically only small updates after? Was it the 10 and then the accessories still work up to the current model?
