GOPRO HERO 13 BLACK

Brilliant video performance with boosted HDR and improved battery life

- 

The GoPro Hero 13 Black features an 8:7 sensor and GP2 image processor, capable of a top resolution of 5.3K at 60 frames per second (FPS) or 4K at 120 FPS. It uses a 2.27in rear LED screen, and 1.4in front colour LED screen.

Charging is again done via USB-C, and the fold-out legs for the traditional GoPro mounting are still present.

However, a universal tripod mounting point has been added, as well as a magnetic clip option. I found the add-on a handy feature, and the magnetic mount was more than secure enough for underside mounting over some rough gravel.

I've been a long-time user of GoPro cameras, but not with great frequency.

My last purchase was a Hero 8; using this latest model, I found the system itself has remained easy to understand. If anything, it has become even more so.

The main menu is customisable into a fairly basic set-up, where you can easily point and shoot with presets. You can also switch to a more advanced menu option, which allows you to adjust the resolution, frame rate, and framing of images and video.
