HB-Series Lenses with Auto Lens Detection1
The HERO13 Black is compatible with HB-Series lenses, which allow you to instantly set up your camera for a variety of specialty shots. The Lens Mod Ultra Wide is the ultimate POV lens for action scenes and stunning landscape shots. The Lens Mod Macro creates impressive, super-detailed close-ups. The neutral density filters ensure motion blur in your videos. They allow you to adapt your shots to the lighting conditions and achieve professional results in no time at all. And with the Lens Mod Anamorphic, you can create cinematic shots in cinema format. The HERO13 Black automatically recognizes which Lens or filter you attach and adjusts the settings accordingly.
First-class 5.3K videos
5.3K videos provide breathtaking image quality with 91% higher resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p. The HERO13 Black captures action shots with razor-sharp detail and the highest image quality. No matter the Lens, every shot looks fantastic. With 5.3K video, you also have the option to use the GoPro Quik app to extract stunning still images of up to 24.7 MP from your videos.
Continuous Slo-Mo
Slo-Mo is slower than ever with HERO13 Black: now you can capture the action in your video clips at up to 13x slower speed. And in short slo-mo clips with 4x slower speed and the highest resolution of 5.3K, you'll capture even the tiniest details that could never be seen with the naked eye.
Rugged + waterproof up to 10 m
The HERO13 Black can withstand just about anything, so you can capture every adventure you take, whether in mud, snow or water (up to 10 m deep). And thanks to the water-repellent lens cover, which even eliminates reflections and other artefacts, your photos and
videos will stay crystal clear.
Award-winning HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization
HyperSmooth 6.0 sets a new standard for in-camera video stabilization, delivering incredibly smooth footage no matter how rough the going gets. HyperSmooth AutoBoost allows for maximum stabilized footage by seamlessly adjusting the image to your speed and movement.
Integrated 360° Horizon Lock
With the digital Linear Lens + Horizon Lock, the HERO13 Black keeps the horizon stable and straight, even if the camera rotates a full 360° while shooting.4 In combination with HyperSmooth video stabilization, the horizon lock gives your shots the optimally stabilized look of professional film productions.
Longer runtimes in all conditions
Charge faster, shoot more. The Enduro battery with increased capacity of 1,900 mAh enables longer runtimes in all conditions, from summer heat to sub-zero temperatures. You get 1.5 hours of continuous recording time at 4K30 or 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of continuous recording time at 1080p30.6
More power options
When it comes to power, the HERO13 Black gives you more options than previous GoPro cameras. The waterproof Contacto Kit with magnetic cable and flap1 is a quick and easy way to connect your GoPro to an external power source via a magnetic connection. The dual charger + integrated power bank1 has its own internal battery that can be used to conveniently charge the two included Enduro batteries anywhere. You can also connect it directly to your camera for particularly long recording sessions.
More mounting flexibility
The HERO13 Black has three different mounting options, making it particularly versatile. The new mount with magnetic lock1 allows you to switch between different mounts even more quickly and easily. The tried-and-tested integrated eyelets hold your camera securely to GoPro mounts, even during heavy action. And with the 1/4-20 thread, you can attach your camera directly to standard camera tripods and other accessories.
Shoot hands-free
The HERO13 Black is packed with features that make it easy to capture amazing footage even when you can't take your hands off the handlebars, ski poles or a rope. It's compact and light enough to wear comfortably on your body with one of the many GoPro mounts available. Once mounted, you can operate it with voice commands for ultimate freedom.
Mounts for any activity
Bike mounts, surfboard mounts, car mounts, pole mounts, grips, extension poles and more - GoPro has mounts for every imaginable shot. Capture your adventures from dramatic new angles and discover all-new perspectives, or shoot POV footage that lets you relive your best moments up close.
HLG HDR video
The HERO13 Black takes image quality to the next level with the ability to shoot in HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), a standard HDR format used by professionals for 5.3K and 4K video in 10-bit and Rec. 2100 color spaces. This advanced feature requires a compatible display and media player for playback. Of course, you can still record videos in HDR without HLG if you want to play back the recordings on standard displays and media players.
Widescreen, portrait and full-frame recordings
With the powerful 1/1.9" image sensor of the HERO13 Black, you have even more options. Choose between widescreen shooting (16:9 aspect ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or vertical video (9:16 aspect ratio) for social media posts. For maximum versatility, the full-frame option (8:7 aspect ratio) captures a 156° field of view that you can later flexibly crop to widescreen or portrait.
10-bit color + log encoding
The HERO13 Black gives you the choice between standard 10-bit color video or log encoding with 10-bit and GP-Log. With 10-bit color, over 1 billion colors can be displayed - offering improved color depth and smoother gradations to make your videos look even more realistic. Advanced users can use GP-Log to capture more detailed footage and make the necessary image corrections in post-production (a look-up table (LUT) is provided).
Timecode Sync
Advanced users using multiple HERO13 Black cameras can now synchronize their cameras with an accurate timecode, making it much easier to post-produce footage from multiple cameras. This works with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere and other editing programs - for even more efficient post-production
27 MP photos and 24.7 MP stills
The HERO13 Black shoots single, interval, continuous and night photos at 27 MP. This allows you to take standard shots, quick action shots and night shots in low light conditions. You can also use the GoPro Quik app to extract stunning 24.7 MP photos of your favorite shots from your videos.
Bluetooth audio connectivity
Bluetooth audio lets you connect the HERO13 Black wirelessly to compatible devices. A wireless microphone improves audio recording for scene descriptions or interviews. Or connect your GoPro to your wireless earbuds so it can receive your voice commands even when it's in a noisy environment or out of earshot. You can also receive alerts from the camera via your earphones so you know if it has received your command and is performing the way you want it to.
Audio tuning
Audio tuning allows you to better match the sound recording to the image. You can choose between a balanced, lifelike sound that is suitable for most recordings and the voice setting, which makes voices sound clearer while keeping ambient noise in the background.
QuikCapture - now even faster
QuikCapture is the fastest and easiest way to start recording as soon as you switch on the HERO13 Black. All you need to do is press the shutter button. Plus, you can now put your camera to sleep without turning it off completely - so it's ready for the next shot even faster. The perfect way to always be ready for action shots.
GPS and measurement data stickers
GPS automatically records telemetry data, which you can display as animated graphics in your video using the GoPro Quik app. This way, speed, distance, terrain, altitude and G-force can be displayed visually, giving your videos an absolutely professional look.
Front + rear LCD display
Find the perfect perspective with the front or rear LCD display. Capture scenes in front of you with the large touchscreen on the back. For vlogging and selfies, turn the camera around and take your shots with the display on the front.
More options for presets
Define your own presets in which you record the options for your favorite activities - including resolution, frame rate and Lens. You can then call them up conveniently with just a few taps. To quickly find them again, you can give your presets individual names either directly in the camera or in the GoPro Quik app.
Highlight videos are automatically sent to your phone2
Simply connect your GoPro to charge while it is connected to your home Wi-Fi. While it charges, your footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud and then turned into a highlight video with matching music and great effects. The videos are automatically sent to your smartphone so you can share them quickly and easily. 2
Easy editing with the GoPro Quik app
The GoPro Quik app includes a wealth of easy-to-use tools to help you edit your footage like a pro. You can customize the highlight videos automatically created by the app or create your own videos from scratch. You can also flexibly change digital Lens after recording, zoom in on the best parts of your video and create high-resolution clips of the action while editing out the rest.
Faster transfer + unlimited cloud storage2
It's now even easier and faster to transfer content from your camera to your smartphone. The HERO13 Black uses Wi-Fi 6 technology for faster and more reliable transfer to your smartphone and the cloud. To transfer your content to a computer, you can use a lightning-fast USB cable connection5 or the SD card. If you use the convenient auto-upload, you'll also benefit from unlimited cloud storage.1 Simply plug your camera in to charge while connected to your home Wi-Fi and the camera will do the rest.
Videos and photos with night effects
The HERO13 Black has three new time-lapse and photo modes that let you get creative after dark. Startrails mode uses the Earth's rotation and stars to capture beautiful light trails in the night sky. With "Light Painting" you can create brilliant brushstroke effects with moving lights. "Car light trails" records impressive light trails with night-time traffic.
Power tools
The power tools integrated in the camera make every shot a success. HindSight captures the scene up to 30 seconds before you start shooting - just in case you press the shutter button too late. With scheduled recordings, you can set your GoPro to switch on and record automatically up to 24 hours in advance. If you set a recording duration, you can easily record video clips from 15 seconds to 3 hours long. The interval photo function takes photos at fixed intervals while you concentrate on your activities.
Simple or professional operating functions
You can choose between convenient point-and-shoot functions or full camera control. With the simple control functions, all you have to do is select the desired image section and press the shutter button to achieve amazing results. The pro controls give you the ability to really change all modes and functions.
