  • Hero 10, 11, and 12 use Enduro batteries, offering significantly longer battery life than the older Hero 6 batteries.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • A used GoPro Hero6 for $165 is considered overpriced by owners familiar with the market; newer models with better features are available at similar or lower prices.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

    Source

Comparisons

    Source
  • The Hero 7 offers marginal improvements over the Hero 6, but substantial upgrades are seen from Hero 6 to Hero 11 or 12, especially if GPS data is desired.

    Source

Software and compatibility
