GoPro has introduced two new GoPro cameras: the top-of-the-line $399 HERO13 Black with its HB-Series Lenses, and the smallest, simplest 4K camera, the $199 HERO. Each camera offers unique new features that build upon GoPro-patented technologies.
“This year’s two new GoPro cameras are inspired by and built for the GoPro Community,” says GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman. “HERO13 Black features four new interchangeable lens mods that HERO13 automatically detects and adjusts its settings for, magnetic latch mounting, GPS, and a more powerful battery that provides longer runtimes and improved thermal performance. And then there’s HERO, the smallest, lightest 4K GoPro ever with a screen that will appeal to new and experienced users with its rugged, ultralight design and impressive 4K image quality.”
HERO13 Black is a powerful combination of leading-edge tech and endless creative possibilities. Beyond best-in-class 5.3K 60 frames per second video, Emmy Award-winning HyperSmooth stabilization, and core GoPro characteristics, HERO13 Black features new:
