Even though many say there are no real innovations in the Hero13... I think a lot has changed, even though the sensor is the same, the results definitely look better than on the 12.
Thanks for this! I’m about to head to canoe the Zambezi, and just invested in a Hero 13 with the conecto, ultra wide lens mod & macro lens mod plus the light - so thank you! (My bank account is not happy, but I am!) so helpful - much appreciated x
Great video, outlining the new accessories. I agree with you, and I'm ordering the magnetic door for all of my cameras. I just wish that with the lenses they would have included a telephoto (zoom).
7:20 am I just too old and can’t tell that much of a difference. That contacto door seems really great, not having to open the charge door to get info transfer is a major convenience.
Maybe you could make a video that explains / demonstrates how the Contacto door attaches to the GoPro Hero13 Black camera body.? This is how I found this video. I have all of the accessories including the magnetic ball mount which is kinda cool.
No. At the far end of the focus range, objects beyond 750mm are technically out of focus, but the blur is quite subtle and you might find the sharpness to be adequate out to the horizon depending on your use case and personal taste. While testing the Macro Lens Mod, I did an hike in woodland with it on the whole time, and felt the far focus to be good enough for me to never want to take it off the camera. If you’re going to do some zooming in at high contrast objects at a far distance, you might think differently, so it’s worth experimenting. Full disclosure: I work for GoPro
Thanks for the great video. Can you please tell me whether the macro lens can replace the normal lens? I know it can focus to 11cm. But can it focus like 30cm to infinity?
Naaah, i will get prob the 12 as a new one at the and of the year, or the ace pro. It is just a upgrade for the filters that i dont need. Ulanzi falcon has a gopro quik release for the gopro
let me give an unsolicited advise :). when showing different lens modes, it would be more helpful if you walked the same stretch of the sidewalk, so we could see the difference in the field of view :)
ND filters are the most important part of the GoPro Hero 13, especially for the average user. It's surprising that such a crucial accessory would be left out...
That macro lens is probably disaster waiting to happen due to user error for that really uses action camera as action camera. Well, if you have spare $129 for replacement every time you crash it, then it's okay. That's probably the best solution possible because no mechanical AF mechanism can be installed due to abusive usage nature of an action cam. Mr. Black, are you willing to abuse that macro lens, by use action cam as action cam, to test how durable it is?
None of those lenses will work with the Hero 14. Imagine if Canon or Sony changed the lens compatibility on new cameras every couple of years? Yeah, me either.
@@toecari They've done it twice so why would you assume they would stop now? Doesn't help matters when you have to spend almost as much in lenses as you do for the camera when Insta360 and DJI area cheaper.
This was a quick but REALLY useful way of showing how beneficial the macro lens is!
That new door charging cable is awesome, but not sure it's $79 awesome! Gopro tax in full effect!
@@jskphoto7212 Yea way too mutch
@@jskphoto7212 yup. I’d buy the mag door for $40 tops. Not double that.
I bought it..... it's awesome.... not worth the price at all.... but can't live without it now...
That both ways 1:57 very clever, hope DJI improve their 🧲 mount like that

I use my GoPro for fishing a lot, do you think the ultra wide lense mod is worth it?

Hero 13 media Mod with Magnetic mount? Does it work?
The ultra-wide lens in linear wasn't. The fisheye was very prevalent so that should never occur in linear mode.
Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
Another excellent informative video

Cool video can we put the macro Lens on the gospel 12? I don’t want to change it just for this feature😊
@@vincentr-fr I was wondering the same… cheers 👋😎
Great video. Is the macro lens on the longest focus just the same as not having it on at all? Thanks.
No. At the far end of the focus range, objects beyond 750mm are technically out of focus, but the blur is quite subtle and you might find the sharpness to be adequate out to the horizon depending on your use case and personal taste.

@@Yuchai_Thailand I would like to known this also.
Great overview Buddy!
Will it prevent it from overheating?
Got the 13 black a few weeks ago and the camera does say it’s too hot to continue charging at around the 35 minute mark.
Ace pro 2 in my local shop but no reviews anywhere..it does say out of stock though
So I have gp9,10,12 how do i get credit tradein? I wanna upgrade to 13?🤙
It’s called FB market. I do that with every new GP I buy.
Can you use that contacto as an extension to the mic adapter given that it transfers data also?
How waterproof is the contacto door? Say your hiking in the rain
I’m waiting for your reviews on new DJI Osmo action 5 pro and Insta360 ace pro 2
What speed does the contacto have? Is that usb 3.0 or just 2.0?
Naaah, i will get prob the 12 as a new one at the and of the year, or the ace pro. It is just a upgrade for the filters that i dont need.

Switched from the hero 5 blk To the Action 5Pro
Nobody cares
Hold on. Why is my iPhone PIP is working only your videos😮😮😮
I thought there was a telephoto Len.
cant even buy the accessories for hero 13 from retailers......

I just bought a gopro hero 13 to start a UA-cam channel think for the info on the gopro
Great🎉

@@netposerx I doubt the lenses won’t be compatible with future GoPros. If that happens it’s over
@@toecari What? They just did that with the 12 and now the 13.
@@netposerx I mean moving forward

@@netposerx Well we shall see
So it is still not a good camera compared to DJI's OA4 and OA5
Wide lens has a horrific distortion.
