Features and Benefits
More Power Options
HERO13 Black offers more power options than any previous GoPro model. Contacto waterproof magnetic power cable and door kit¹ allow quick and easy connection to an external power source via magnetic connection. Dual battery charger and integrated power bank¹ include an internal battery for convenient charging of two Enduro batteries anywhere. It can also connect directly to the camera to extend recording time.
More Flexible Mounting Options
HERO13 Black has three mounting options, making it more versatile than ever. The new magnetic lock mount¹ allows for quicker and easier swapping between different mounting systems. With built-in mounting fingers, you can securely attach the camera to GoPro mounts when you need a durable hold in tough conditions. The 1/4-20 threaded mount allows the use of tripods and other standard camera accessories.
Easy Hands-Free Capture
HERO13 Black includes several features that make capturing stunning videos easy, even when your hands are busy with handlebars, ski poles, or a tow rope. It is compact and lightweight enough to wear comfortably using one of the many available GoPro body mounts. Once mounted, you can use voice commands for full hands-free control.
Mounts for Every Activity
With mounts for bikes, surfboards, cars, poles, extension arms, and grips—GoPro offers mounting solutions for every scenario. Capture your adventures from dramatic new angles or record POV footage and relive your amazing moments just as you saw them.
HLG-HDR Video
HERO13 Black takes its best image quality to the next level with the ability to record in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) format, used by professionals for 5.3K and 4K video in 10-bit and Rec. 2100 color space. This advanced feature requires a compatible display and media player for playback. However, users can still capture videos in HDR format without HLG for standard displays and media players.
Wide, Vertical, and Full-Frame Capture
HERO13 Black’s powerful 1/1.9-inch image sensor offers more options. Choose wide screen capture (16:9 aspect ratio) for full-screen playback on TVs or vertical videos (9:16 aspect ratio) for social media posts. For maximum flexibility, the full-frame option (8:7 aspect ratio) provides a 156° field of view, allowing later cropping into wide and vertical shots.
10-bit Color and Log Encoding
HERO13 Black offers the choice of standard video recording in 10-bit or Log encoding with 10-bit GP-Log. 10-bit color displays over 1 billion color shades, delivering deeper color representation, smoother transitions, and more realistic image quality. Advanced users can utilize GP-Log to extract more detail from footage and perform color grading in post-production (LUT table available).
Timecode Sync
Advanced users with more than one HERO13 Black can sync their cameras with precise timecode, making multi-camera editing much easier. This works with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and other editing software to simplify post-production further.
27 MP Photos and 24.7 MP Frames from Video
HERO13 Black captures 27 MP single, time-lapse, burst, and night shots, allowing you to capture regular, fast, and low-light scenes. You can also grab amazing photos up to 24.7 MP from your favorite video frames using the GoPro Quik app.
Bluetooth Audio Connectivity
Bluetooth audio allows HERO13 Black to connect wirelessly with compatible devices. Use a wireless microphone for improved audio quality when narrating a scene or during interviews. By connecting your wireless headphones, GoPro can hear your voice commands even in noisy environments or when the camera is out of earshot. You can also hear camera alerts through the headphones, confirming that the camera has received a command and is performing the desired action.
Audio Tuning
Audio tuning allows adjusting the audio recording to suit the captured footage. Choose balanced, true-to-life sound that suits most shots, or Voice setting that emphasizes vocal clarity while maintaining background sound.
Faster QuikCapture
QuikCapture is the fastest and easiest way to power on HERO13 Black and start recording. All you need is a press of the shutter button. Now you can leave your camera in standby mode without fully powering off. This allows for even quicker start of recording. Ideal for staying flexible and ready to record during active shooting periods.
GPS and Performance Stickers
GPS automatically captures telemetry data that can be overlaid onto your video with animated graphics using the GoPro Quik app. It is a visual way to show your speed, route, terrain, elevation, and G-forces, giving your videos a professional and exciting look.
Front and Rear LCD Screens
Frame your shots perfectly with both front and rear LCD screens. Use the large rear touchscreen to capture scenes in front of you, or flip the camera around and use the front screen for vlogging and perfectly framed selfies.
More Preset Options
Create presets for your favorite settings—resolutions, frame rates, lenses, and more—for all your favorite activities, and switch between them conveniently with just a few button presses. You can personalize them with custom names directly on the camera or using the GoPro Quik app.
Automatic Highlight Videos to Your Phone²
Simply connect your GoPro to your home WiFi network. While charging, your footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud, and a highlight video is created with music and effects. Videos are automatically sent to your phone, ready to share.
Easy Editing with the GoPro Quik App
The GoPro Quik app is packed with simple tools that let you edit your footage like a pro. You can customize the automatic highlight videos that the app creates or make your own videos from start to finish. You also have the option to change digital lenses after recording and zoom into the best parts of your footage to create high-resolution clips that focus on the action by cropping the rest.
