It is a compact easy-to-use camera.

The Hero 13 Black will be released on September 10. It is for those who want to get serious with their video recording while the basic Hero model (launching September 22) is perfect for beginners.

Which Features Make It Stand Out?

This camera is waterproof (up to 33ft/10m). It also has HyperSmooth stabilization which means the footage will look smooth even if you shoot in the roughest conditions.

Accessories That Make It Even Better

The Hero 13 Black isn’t just about high-quality footage. GoPro has also launched some cool new accessories. The Anamorphic Lens Mod gives your videos a cinematic look with a wider and letterboxed view. If you love to shoot small details then the Macro Lens Mod is for you because it can focus as close as 4.3 inches.

Another great addition is the magnetic mount system. If you’ve ever struggled to attach your camera to a tripod or helmet then this feature is a game changer. You don’t need to juggle up with screws where now you can just place it into one place and it is easy as ever. 

Battery and Mounts

One of the major updates in this model is the bigger 1900mAh battery. You can shoot 5.3K videos for up to 1.5 hours or 1080p videos for 2.5 hours now. This means there will be more action and less time get spend in worrying about charging.

Why the Basic GoPro Hero Might Be for You?

You don’t need those specifications all the time. Then comes GoPro Hero which is a simple and beginner-friendly version that can do all for you. This camera is smaller and lighter in comparison and it is also cheaper but still can record in 4K. It’s designed for those who just want to hit record and start shooting without any need to understand those complicated settings.

Simple Yet Effective Features 

The price of GoPro Hero is half that of Hero 13 Black but if we look at the features then it is still good in comparison. It can shoot 4K video at 30fps and 2.7K video at 60fps. It is by far perfect for beginners. However, it doesn’t have that HyperSmooth stabilization which has been in GoPro’s premium version. This means you will have to deal with some shaky footage. 

But you don’t need to worry because you can fix that later using GoPro’s Quik app which helps in stabilizing the video.

Portability and Simplicity

Its weight is just 3oz (86g) which means GoPro Hero is too light and portable. You can easily keep it in your pocket and just go to shooting. It’s also waterproof up to 16 ft/5m which is great for casual swimming shots.

If you’re not looking for advanced features and just want something easy to use then this model is just the right fit for you.

Conclusion: Which One Should You Choose?

It is time to sum up GoPro Hero. If you’re a beginner who just wants to shoot some fun moments then the GoPro Hero is the perfect choice. It’s light and affordable. It is also very simple to use. On the other hand, if you’re more serious about your videos and want higher-quality footage then the GoPro Hero 13 Black is definitely worth that extra money.

That’s it for now. Thanks for reading.
