GoPro Hero11 Black, Now Available in the Philippines
Producing videos have been at the center of the content creation era. Whether it’s blogging or documenting the most extreme activities, GoPro has always been at the forefront of this era.
The pioneer in the action camera industry, GoPro, announced their most capable and versatile GoPro devices today in the Philippines – the GoPro Hero11 Black, GoPro Hero11 Black Creator Edition, and GoPro Hero11 Black Mini.
Versatility is the name of the game
All the major changes in the Hero11 Black series revolves around versatility. It accounts the best format and resolution that known social media platforms require, and focuses the attention of all the changes to the needs of end-users.
Whether you’re shooting vertical or horizontal videos, the new Hero11 Black series shoots at a taller aspect ratio, thanks to its new 8:7 sensor. While this may seem like a weird setup when shooting videos, GoPro sees this as a visual playground that would make it easier and better when videos are rendered to various various aspect ratios like 4:3, 16:9, and 9:16.
- 4:3 – YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, etc.
- 16:9 – YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, TVs, etc.
- 9:16 – TikTok, Facebook Stories, IG Reels, YouTube Shorts
Video Frame Grabs – the new way of shooting photos from your videos
The new GoPro Hero11 series sees the importance of bringing convenience to content creators. You can grab up to 24.7MP photos from videos shot using the Hero11 Black or Hero11 Black Mini. This means that you do not need to switch from video to photo mode just to take a photo of a particular moment. With this feature, you are guaranteed not to lose any moments from videos you took.
