(NEW) GoPro HERO11 Black Mini - Compact Waterproof Action Camera

Since this is incredibly misleading and I had this thing in the box for months before I actually use it - I'm posting the review now. BEWARE - regardless of what the specs say LIVE STREAM IS MAXED AT 720p on this camera!!! GOPro you are seriously doing a huge injustice. My hero 8 will stream at 1080+ (not to mention I dont know why you wont let us stream in 4k if we got the down and up bandwidth to support it - but that's another story). I simple purchased this as a motorcycle camera replacement to reduce the size/weight. I'm extremely upset they have app locked this camera at 720p for uploading to anything (restream/youtube etc). I sincerely wish someone had written what I'm writing now because I would have skipped or went for a different model. Please pass this around - GoPro has conveniently stripped the fact that this is locked to 720 from all of the Google search results and any marketing material. For that tactic alone I give a huge thumbs down. - However, its only saving grace is the 720p doesn't look as terrible as it sounds but you can still tell its 720p. By the way even at 720p the battery is trash - less than 30 minutes. Terrible. Thankfully I use a powerbank and got used to that ages ago. I wanted to actually remove the battery and sd card like I do on all of the cameras so they don't overheat (I live in Texas). I was faced with another surprise - you can 't remove the battery on the mini so there's no chance of getting that extra heat reduction that you can on any other camera. Action Camera and 360 footage got a lot of attention and great updates around the time insta released the X3. Forcing GoPro to try and keep up. This last year the whole industry has shifted for selfie single field of view cameras. Terrible. Recap: Camera will do 5.3k+ in normal shooting and take photos. Camera is locked to MAX 720P res on live streaming using GOPro APP (I'm going to use another vendors software to get the proper res out of this thing). Battery lasts less than 30 minutes and its built into the camera - IE if you remove it you have a very high change in completely breaking the camera and at its least voiding any warranty. Ill be doing surgical work myself to remove you crap battery - thanks! I get they have to shrink stuff down and you gain and lose things - Im just more pissed off at the fact they have purposely scrubbed any information regarding the live streaming at 720p limitation. Additionally, they make no mention of the battery not being removable - which is just a dick move. They could easily make it removable but its the lazyness after shrinking items down and wanting to kick the camera out faster. - Like Geez GoPro at least let us fix your camera from overheating at 720p LOL!!! What a joke. Not only are you forced to the low ball res but it can't even stay up long enough without overheating in a 70-80F temp. If you're lucky enough and put fans blowing directly on it and heatsinks then you can achieve the 30 minutes battery life before it dies. Another joke. Its one thing to have shortcomings because you're trying to do something new and shrink things down, but the more you try and force people to not do certain things and act like big brother and start locking things because of the idiots who might try and run 4K+ footage stock without aftermarket cooling and then the hottest part of the camera you build in a way that it can't be remove (battery) - Ill never give them another dime anymore.
