HERO13 Black

Has taken a GoPro 10 and 13 to many tropical places and neither has overheated or shut off even in extreme heat.

“I’ve taken my GoPro 10 and 13 to many tropical places and it has never overheated”

Mounts the Hero 13 Black on a full-face helmet chin bar for mountain biking; 10-bit log with a LUT gives great footage and it works well, and they would buy another rather than the heavier Mission 1.

“I use the Hero 13 Black on my chin bar of my full-face helmet to record mountain bike footage”

Their HERO13 overheated again and lost footage, which never happened with their DJI.

“My Hero 13 lost me footage last week because it overheated once again.”

Perfectly happy with their roughly $330 HERO13 for family skiing and beach trips.

“perfectly fine with my”

Calls the HERO13 a Ferrari compared with their HERO9 and wishes they upgraded years ago.

“compared to my Hero 9 it's like driving a Ferrari. Great camera, should have upgraded years ago.”

Their HERO13 stops recording and charging in hot summer sun while filming kids' games; a cooling fan adds noise.

“I have occasions where the recording and charging will just stop. I believe it is an overheating issue.”

Their HERO13 showed a front-screen fault and an SD card error, losing all footage from its first real trip.

“Wore my GoPro Hero 13 Black on a rainforest tour and this is what the front screen looks like. SD card error and all the timelapses and videos I took are nowhere to be found.”

Wasted four hours on a missing looping interval option in HERO13 firmware 2.04 and had to install a Labs build.

“Not exactly a fuzzy first impression felling for the Hero 13 black.”

Calls the HERO13 fantastic but basically a HERO11 with a bigger battery; two units had GPS that never connected, though a later one worked.

“A fantastic camera (although basically just a Hero 11 with a bigger battery), but with a rather serious problem: the GPS never connected.”

Bought the HERO13 on launch day and is happy with it so far.

“I bought the GoPro 13 on launch day and I’m happy with it so far.”

Needed more complex colour correction for HERO13 Log footage, which looked over-saturated and noisier.

“The HERO13 required more complex work”

In pelagic dive footage the HERO13 showed much more noise than the Mission 1 and a reddish noise pattern.

“the noise value detected is a high 4.0 for the HERO 13, against an excellent 0.6 for the MISSION 1”

Owns a HERO13 and HERO9; finds no GoPro good in low light, their biggest gripe.

“also have the hero 13 but no GoPro I’ve used has been good in low light. It’s my biggest gripe with them”

After three failed GoPros in three years, support replaced their dead HERO12 with a HERO13 Black.

“gopro is replacing my dead hero12 with a new hero13 black at no cost to me.”

Got a HERO13 with an ultra-wide lens for $99 after their HERO10 kept giving problems.

“I got upgraded from hero 10 to 13 for $99 with ultra wide lense since my hero 10 been giving me problems.”

Their first GoPro, a HERO13, was dead after about 20 minutes recording in a truck.

“I put it in my truck at the start of the show and it didn't get through introductions.20 minutes and it was dead...”

Not super impressed by the HERO13's low-light footage on a helmet; LOG was hard to grade and wind noise was bad.

“Testing out the new Hero13 Black’s low light capabilities…not super impressed if I’m being honest.”

After months of walking-tour use, finds the HERO13 stable and light but limited by dynamic range, noise in low light and no optical zoom.

“I’ve been using the GoPro Hero 13 Black for cinematic walking tours”

Their HERO13 overheats and shuts down after 30-45 minutes even at 1080p30, and about an hour on a power bank.

“With the batteries I get about 30-45 minutes of footage before it shuts down.”

Owns the HERO13 with the anamorphic lens mod and calls it amazing.

“I own the GoPro 13 with the anamorphic lens mod and it is amazing.”

Records 4K60/120 on their HERO13 and says two batteries cover a day, with battery never a problem on short clips.

“I have a Hero 13 Black and always record on 4K 60/120”

Finds the HERO13 poor in low light, with a sensor smaller than rivals', losing detail in a dim room.

“they are not great for low light environment.”

Their new HERO13 only got a little warm recording 4K60 for seven minutes in a park.

“my GoPro hasn’t overheated so far, I put it for record for 7 minutes and I was walking around the park with GPS, motion stabilisation and 4K 60Fps, it got just a little warm.”

Likes their GoPro HERO13 and shoots photos with it.

“I like my GoPro 13. I’ll do the photos”

Calls the HERO13 near perfect for their use and the king in good light, though its buttons were poor for gloved hands.

“The 13 was always the king when it came to good light footage and the mission was only able to sightly improve on it.”

Their HERO13 records 5.3K on the dash in heat without overheating, with stabilisation so good it hides the car mounting.

“my GoPro 13 Black sits on a mount on my dash REGULARLY recording both regular video and timewarp footage at 5.3k in the beating heat, and I've never had overheating issues”

Has had no overheating on their HERO13s as a cycling and dash cam at modest settings, recording until the battery is depleted.

“I haven't had any issues with my 13s overheating, while cycling”

Enjoys the HERO13 for underwater use with a case and pole grip, though it arrived with a dead battery.

“Ive been enjoying mine. Almost exclusively using it for underwater stuff.”

Their new HERO13 stopped working after one use and got dangerously hot charging; support was slow.

“Used it once and it stopped working. Tried to charge it, it almost started a fire it got so hot.”

Their HERO13 died after ten minutes of free diving because the battery door failed to seal, so they returned it.

“Just sent back my GoPro 13 as it died underwater”

Their HERO13 Black overheats after about 20 minutes in the southeast US heat.

“BTW I have the Hero11 and the Hero 13. Both of them have overheating issues.”

Uses action cameras almost daily and replaced all their GoPros, including the HERO13 Black, with DJI cameras after overheating and file-corruption problems.

“recently we switched all our GoPros (hero 9, 11, 13) to DJI action cams after having overheating and corruption issues.”
