HB-Series Lenses With Auto Detection1 HERO13 Black is compatible with the HB-Series Lenses that let you instantly set up your camera for a variety of specialty shots. The Ultra Wide Lens Mod is the ultimate POV lens for action-packed scenes and epic landscapes. The Macro Lens Mod captures close-up shots in stunning detail. Neutral Density Filters add motion blur to your footage and let you adjust the lighting in your shots with professional results. Try the Anamorphic Lens Mod for pro-level cinematic shots. HERO13 Black even detects when a lens or filter is attached and automatically adjusts its settings accordingly.
Best-in-Class 5.3K Video
5.3K video delivers breathtaking image quality with 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p. HERO13 Black captures the action with crisp detail and exacting image quality so any shot with any lens will look amazing. 5.3K video also lets you grab stunning photos up to 24.7MP from your footage using the GoPro Quik app.
Burst Slo-Mo
HERO13 Black features our slowest slo-mo ever with the ability to record video clips with the action slowed down to 13x normal speed. You’ll also be able to record short 4x slo-mo clips using our highest 5.3K resolution video to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see with the naked eye.
Rugged + Waterproof to 33ft (10m)
HERO13 Black was built to take a beating. It’s ready to capture the fun on any adventure whether you’re tearing through mud, snow or water (down to 33ft/10m). A water-repelling lens cover even helps eliminate lens flare and other artifacts to help keep your photos and videos crystal clear.
Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilization
HyperSmooth 6.0 continues to set the bar for in-camera video stabilization—giving you impossibly smooth footage no matter how rough it gets. HyperSmooth AutoBoost ensures that you’re getting the widest stabilized footage possible by seamlessly adjusting the shot based on your speed and movement.
Built-In 360° Horizon Lock
HERO13 Black’s Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens keeps the horizon steady, straight and smooth even if your camera rotates a full 360° during capture.4 Combined with HyperSmooth video stabilization, Horizon Lock gives your footage the super smooth look of professional productions.
Extended Runtimes in All Conditions
Spend more time recording and less time charging. A higher-capacity 1900mAh Enduro battery gives you longer runtimes in all conditions, from hot to freezing and everything in between. You’ll get 1.5 hours of continuous recording at 4K30 or 5.3K30, plus over 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p30.6
More Power Options
HERO13 Black has more power options than any GoPro before it. The Contacto Waterproof Magnetic Power Cable and Door Kit1 features a magnetic link that gives you a quick and simple way to connect to an external power source. The Dual Battery Charger + Integrated Powerbank1 features its own internal battery that can conveniently charge the 2 included Enduro batteries anywhere. It can also be plugged directly into your camera for extra-long recording sessions.
More Mounting Flexibility
HERO13 Black features 3 mounting options that make it more versatile than ever. The new Magnetic Latch Mount1 makes it faster and easier to swap your camera from one mounting setup to another. Use the built-in mounting fingers to securely attach your camera to GoPro mounts when you need durable mounting in rough conditions. The 1/4-20 mounting threads can be used with tripods and other standard camera accessories.
Easy Hands-Free Capture
HERO13 Black is packed with features that make it easy to get incredible footage when your hands are busy with handlebars, ski poles, tow ropes and more. It’s compact and light enough to wear comfortably using one of the many available GoPro body mounts. Once mounted, you can use voice commands for the ultimate in hands-free control.
Mounts for Every Activity
Bike mounts, surfboard mounts, car mounts, pole mounts, grips, extension poles and more. GoPro has mounts that’ll help you get any shot you can dream up. Capture your adventures from dramatic new angles and see them as you’ve never seen them before or record point-of-view footage and relive awesome moments exactly as you saw them.
HLG-HDR Video
HERO13 Black takes its best-in-class image quality to the next level with the option to record in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG), a standard HDR format that the pros use to capture 5.3K and 4K video in the 10-bit and Rec. 2100 color space. This advanced feature requires a compatible display and media player for playback. Users can still capture video using HDR without HLG for viewing on standard displays and media players.
Widescreen, Vertical + Full Screen Capture
HERO13 Black’s powerful 1/1.9” image sensor lets you do more. Choose widescreen capture (16:9 aspect ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or vertical videos (9:16 aspect ratio) for social media posting. For maximum versatility, the full frame option (8:7 aspect ratio) captures a 156° field of view that lets you crop in to create widescreen and vertical shots later.
10-Bit Color + Log Encoding
HERO13 Black lets you choose between capturing standard video at 10-bit or Log encoding at 10-bit with GP-Log. Capable of displaying over 1 billion colors, 10-bit color delivers enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism in your videos. Advanced users can use GP-Log to get more detail in their footage while making necessary image corrections in post-production (a lookup table/LUT is provided).
Timecode Sync
Advanced users with more than one HERO13 Black can sync them with the exact same timecode to make multi-camera editing a lot easier. It works with Final Cut Pro®, Adobe® Premiere® and other editing software to further streamline post-production.
27MP Photos + 24.7MP Frame Grabs
HERO13 Black takes 27MP Single, Interval, Burst and Night photos that let you capture standard, fast action and low-light shots. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7MP of your favorite shots from your videos using the GoPro Quik app.
Bluetooth® Audio Connectivity
Bluetooth® audio lets you wirelessly connect HERO13 Black to compatible devices. Use a wireless microphone for enhanced audio when narrating a scene or conducting interviews. By connecting to your wireless earbuds, your GoPro will be able to hear your voice commands in noisy settings or when it’s mounted out of earshot. You’ll also be able to hear camera alerts through your earbuds to confirm that it got the command and is doing what you want.
Audio Tuning
Audio Tuning lets you adjust sound recording to better fit what you’re capturing. Choose balanced true-to-life sound that’s great for most shots or the Voice setting that enhances vocal clarity while also preserving ambient background sounds.
Quicker QuikCapture

Now you can also set your camera to idle without completely powering down. This lets you start recording again even faster. It’s the perfect way to stay flexible and ready to record during active shoots.
GPS + Performance Stickers

Light Painting lets you create brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Vehicle Light Trails uses night-time traffic to record stunning light trail shots.
