GoPro has once again upped the ante in the world of action cameras with the launch of two new models: the entry-level HERO and the advanced HERO 13 BLACK. Packed with cutting-edge features and designed for a wide range of users, these cameras promise to deliver stunning footage and enhanced performance, making them the perfect companions for adventurers, athletes, and content creators alike.
Compact and User-friendly: GoPro HERO
The GoPro HERO, the smallest in the GoPro lineup, is a perfect fit for beginners and those looking for an affordable yet capable action camera. Weighing in at just 86 grams and about the size of an AirPods charging case, the HERO is incredibly portable and easy to handle. Despite its compact size, it boasts impressive features such as 4K video recording, three shooting modes (video, slow motion, and photos), and a waterproof rating up to 5 meters.
The simplified control functions make the HERO an ideal choice for new users who want to capture their adventures without the complexities of more advanced models. The HERO is designed to be intuitive, ensuring that users can focus on their activities rather than fiddling with the camera settings.
Feature-rich and Powerful: GoPro HERO 13 BLACK
For those who demand more from their action cameras, the GoPro HERO 13 BLACK is the answer. This model takes performance and functionality to the next level with 5.3K 60fps and 4K 120fps video recording capabilities, allowing users to capture 2,470-pixel-resolution footage. The HERO 13 BLACK also boasts improved battery life and performance, with the ability to record over 2.5 hours of 1080p 30fps video and up to 1.5 hours of 5.3K 30fps or 4K 30fps video.
The HERO 13 BLACK comes with a host of advanced features, including HyperSmooth image stabilization, slow-motion recording at up to 13x slower, and compatibility with HLG recording standards for 10-bit and Rec.2100 color gamut HDR video formats. This makes it an attractive choice for professional content creators who demand high-quality footage.
Additionally, the HERO 13 BLACK is compatible with a range of lens modules and accessories, including the HB-SERIES lens modules. These include an ultra-wide lens module, ND filter set, macro lens module, and a fisheye lens module. The ultra-wide lens, when combined with HyperSmooth and horizon lock, can capture up to 4K 60fps video with multiple aspect ratios up to 177 degrees. The macro lens module allows for even closer focusing, making it perfect for dramatic slow-motion and close-up shots.
