High-quality HDR/HLG imagery

HDR/HLG has been enabled for both video modes (5.3K and 4K) as well as photos, to bring out more detail in shadows and highlights. Capture up to 5.3K60 video or up to 27MP RAW photos with crisp detail and cinematic image quality. You can even grab 24.7MP frames from your videos using the Quik app. Record 2.7K video at 240 frames per second for 8x slow-motion playback.

HyperSmooth 6.0 with AutoBoost

The updated HyperSmooth 6.0 features AutoBoost performance that reduces image cropping that could otherwise compromise framing. The 360° Horizon Lock function keeps your footage stable and level, even if the camera rotates completely.

Widescreen, vertical, and full-frame capture

Switch between 16:9 widescreen, 9:16 vertical, and 8:7 full-frame aspect ratios for a variety of shooting applications. The full-frame option captures a 156° FOV that lets you crop to create widescreen and vertical shots in post-production.

10-bit color encoding and Log

Choose between standard 10-bit video or 10-bit Log encoding with GP-Log for improved color depth, smoother gradations, and reliable color reproduction. Advanced users can use GP-Log to retain more detail while performing the necessary color corrections in post-production.

HB Series lens compatibility

Purchase compatible HB Series lenses separately to tailor your footage for a range of creative shots. The Ultra Wide Lens Mod delivers a POV look for action scenes and landscapes. The Macro Lens Mod captures close-ups with incredible detail. Use neutral density filters to add motion blur to your shots without compromising exposure. The Anamorphic Lens Mod helps you achieve a professional cinematic look. Once attached, HERO13 Black automatically detects the lens or filter and adjusts settings accordingly.

Burst Slo-Mo

The new Burst Slo-Mo captures sequences where the action is slowed down 13x compared to normal speed. You can also record short 4x slo-mo clips at 5.3K resolution to capture details you might have missed the first time.

Timecode synchronization

If you own more than one HERO13 Black, you can easily synchronize the camera timecode to make multi-camera editing a breeze. This feature is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and other editing programs to streamline post-production.

Bluetooth audio connectivity

Connect HERO13 Black to compatible Bluetooth devices, such as a wireless microphone, to record enhanced audio. You can even connect wireless headphones to monitor recorded audio or to enable voice commands in noisy environments. Hear camera alerts through your headphones to confirm HERO13 Black received the command. Use Audio Tuning to easily fine-tune sound capture for a balanced mix between ambient sound and voice.

QuikCapture

Simply press the shutter button on HERO13 Black to start the camera quickly. You can also set the camera to idle without fully turning it off to save battery.

Pro or Easy control modes

Choose between point-and-shoot simplicity or full manual control using the camera's two control modes. Easy Controls let you frame your shot and press the shutter for a one-tap shooting solution. Tap the 2.27" rear touchscreen to switch between widescreen and mobile shots, slow motion, night effects, and other adjustments. Pro Controls unlock the ability to fine-tune all modes, settings, and features and save them as presets.

GoPro Quik app

Easy-to-use tools let you edit your footage, tweak automatically generated highlight videos, or create your own videos from scratch. Change digital lenses after recording, zoom in on the best frames, and create thumbnails for your next social media post or YouTube video. Upload footage wirelessly to the Quik app without needing to use the camera's USB-C port. GPS automatically captures data that can be overlaid as graphics on your footage. Create presets for your favorite settings so you can recall them easily.

Faster transfer and unlimited cloud backup

Transfer content via Wi-Fi 6 to the cloud for more reliable uploads. Use the USB-C port for a wired connection option or an SD card to transfer content to a computer. Unlimited cloud storage is available with a GoPro subscription—just plug in your camera while connected to your home Wi-Fi.

Night effects and time-lapse

• Star Trails uses Earth's rotation to create star streaks across the sky.
• Light Painting turns moving light into brush-stroke effects.
• Vehicle Light Trails records traffic light movement at night.

More enhanced features

In-camera power tools maximize battery life. HindSight captures up to 30 seconds of footage before you start recording. Scheduled Capture turns on your GoPro automatically to capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance. Duration Capture can record video clips from 15 seconds to 2 hours. Interval Photo takes photos at fixed intervals.

Use HERO13 Black as a webcam or live stream your next activity with pro-level features.

Improved battery life and expanded power options

A higher-capacity 1900mAh Enduro battery gives you longer runtime in all weather conditions. You can record 5.3K/4K video for up to 1.5 hours or 1080p video for up to 2.5 hours continuously. Additional power accessories, such as the waterproof magnetic Contacto power cable and the dual battery charger with built-in powerbank, provide more options to power your camera.

Waterproof housing with multiple mounting options

The camera can withstand depths of up to 33' on its own. Integrate additional mounting accessories into your setup using the built-in mounting fingers, a 1/4"-20 thread, and a magnetic interface compatible with the separately available magnetic latch mount.
