Reviewing the New GoPro HERO11 Black—An Experiment in Patience

The new GoPro HERO11 Black encourages playtime—if you’re willing to practice.

There is an eerie phenomenon in the mountains when a strike of lightning shatters the darkness without any thunder. It doesn’t just spark in the scientific sense, but it also inspires creators to capture the fleeting split-second of energy, like we can compress nature into a tiny explosion of time.

Last week, in central Idaho, those mountains produced this very weather, and I thought I might be able to snag something great. Like a storm chaser, I maneuvered to a parking lot with a view of our local ski mountain surrounded by what I assumed to be ominous clouds in the black. I burst open the box of the GoPro HERO11 Black, threw it on, flew into the settings, and… light painting wasn’t there.

Some of GoPro’s newest and most fun experiments are under the “Pro” label, not “Easy.” By the time I realized where the settings were, the dramatic lightning was done, and I trekked home to try and understand this new HERO (the camera, not me) a little better.
