If you are from the mountain Vernice, skiing or jumping planes, Gopro was a familiar name to take videos from your most adventurous activities. Currently, you can pick up the Gopro Hero 13 Black (7/10, Wired recommends) as a bundle with the standard and ultrawid lens mod for only $ 330, a full price of $ 150 on the retail price and the lowest price of this package.
Even if he has the same sensor and processor of 27 megapixels found in the Gopro Hero 12 (8/10, Wired recommends), new features and the largest battery make it our favorite choice among current GoPro models, at least for standard video. Gopro has also returned GPS to the new model, which affects battery life, but is a significant feature among users. You also have a large set of resolution options and frames per second, with up to 60 IPS at 5.3K and 120 IPS at 4K. The new Rafales mode at idle can overeat these figures for short periods, such as taking a video of 5.3 km at 120 IPS for five seconds.
Interchangeable lenses are certainly the main sales argument of the GoPro Hero 13 Black, allowing you to change the field of vision and filters according to your sport or your situation. Normally, you will have to pay around $ 120 to get the ultrairs alone, but with the discount, you essentially pay the high price for the camera and the inclusion of the lens. This also makes a big difference, taking the field of vision up to 177 degrees, which, according to Gopro, is 36% wider and 48% higher than the ordinary objective.
The oldest users of Gopro will also appreciate the new magnetic assembly adapter, which relates it to some of our other favorite action cams. There are also other changes in quality of life, such as a waterproof load door to pass for longer sessions. The biggest downside of the GoPro is probably its battery life, which does not become competitors like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (8/10, Wired Recomds), which is also a large action camera.
If you plan to upgrade from another recent GoPro model, this may not be worth it, especially if you do not plan to use the ultra-large angle lens. For new owners, in particular those who seek to exchange their goals, it is our favorite GoPro for a good reason and a welcome discount on its best functionality.
