Today, GoPro announced two new cameras: the top-of-the-line $649 HERO13 Black with its HB-Series Lenses and the smallest, simplest 4K camera, the $349 HERO. Each camera offers unique new features that build upon GoPro’s patented, customer-favourite 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: Exceptional Flagship Performance 

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 stabilisation, and core GoPro characteristics, HERO13 Black features new:

• Incredible 13x Burst Slo-Mo – Captures up to 400 frames per second at HD-quality 720p video, as well as 5.3K at 120 frames per second and 900p at 360 frames per second video.
• Redesigned 10% Larger Capacity, More Power Efficient Enduro Battery – Extends runtimes in all weather conditions.
• Snap and Go Magnetic Latch Mounting – Joins built-in mounting fingers and 1/4-20 mounting threads for three ways to mount HERO13 Black.
• Faster WiFi 6 Technology – For up to 40% quicker content transfer speeds.
• Professional-Level Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR Video – Broadcast-standard 10bit and Rec. 2100 colour space and a wider colour gamut than HDR alone.
• More Customisable Audio Tuning – Choose a balanced true-to-life sound or a Voice setting that enhances vocal clarity while preserving ambient background sounds.
• GPS + Performance Stickers—Track speed, path, terrain, altitude, and g-force and help with geotagging in third-party media management apps.
• Plus, more custom preset options, improved QuikCapture and more.

HERO13 Black ($649.95) customers can choose between the standalone camera, the HERO13 Black Creator Edition ($979.95) complete with the Volta Power Grip, Media Mod and Light Mod, or activity-optimised HERO13 Black Accessory Bundles exclusive to GoPro.com. All are available for preorder today. Preorder shipping and global retail on-shelf availability will begin on September 10.

HB-Series Lenses: The Ultimate Creative Collection

HERO13 Black customers can level up their creative game by adding the innovative, new HERO Black (HB)-Series Lenses to their cart. HERO13 Black automatically detects each lens to provide optimal settings based on the lens type and the environment.

The four HB-Series Lenses are the only lenses compatible with GoPro’s patented HyperSmooth stabilisation. They are also waterproof, scratch-resistant, and coated with hydrophobic coatings.

• Ultra Wide Lens Mod ($169.95): This mod transforms the HERO13 Black into the ultimate POV camera by capturing more in every shot with a 177° field of view and a new 1:1 aspect ratio. It gives you more field of view and the freedom to crop your footage to widescreen 16:9 or vertical 9:16 shots—no matter how the camera is mounted. This lens maximises HyperSmooth performance for unbreakable 360° Horizon Lock in-camera video stabilisation up to 4K60 resolution. 
• Macro Lens Mod ($219.95): Expand creative possibilities with a variable focus on objects in the distance and objects up to 4x closer than the standard GoPro lens. The variable focus ring lets you manually adjust the focus distance from as close as 4.3in (11cm).
• Anamorphic Lens Mod ($219.95): This mod captures ultra-wide-angle, artistic footage with less distortion than traditional wide-angle perspectives in a dramatic 21:9 aspect ratio—just like in feature films. Cinematic lens flares add to the character of your footage, while in-camera “de-squeezing” makes it easy to capture, review, and edit anamorphic content without intensive post-production workflows. 
• ND Filter 4-Pack ($119.95): Easily create cinematic motion blur in your shots with HB-Series neutral density (ND) filters in ND4 / ND8 / ND16 / ND32. Attach a filter, and your HERO13 Black automatically detects it, toggles into Auto Cinematic video mode, and dials in the best settings based on your environment. 

The Ultra Wide Lens Mod, Macro Lens Mod, and ND Filter 4-Pack are sold separately from HERO13 Black and are now available for preorder at GoPro.com. Preorder shipping and global retail on-shelf availability will begin on September 10. The Anamorphic Lens Mod will be available in 2025.

Capture Longer with Redesigned Power Solutions   

A 10% larger 1900mAh Enduro battery combines improved power efficiency and a redesigned battery enclosure to deliver longer runtimes in all conditions. HERO13 Black provides 1.5 hours of continuous recording in the highest resolution 4K30 and 5.3K30 settings, plus over 2.5 hours at HD-quality 1080p30.

Level up to all-weather power by adding the Contacto Magnetic Door and Power Cable Kit ($139.95). This power extension accessory magnetically attaches to a specially designed side door for HERO13 Black, allowing for a quick, simple, and weatherproof way to connect an external power source.

More Ways to Mount

New Magnetic Latches ($39.95) and Ball Joint Mounts ($64.95) introduce the quickest way to move HERO13 Black between various mounts. They are compatible with all existing GoPro mounts and use a quick dual-latch system to secure your camera. Simply pinch to release and swap mounts, or flip your camera 180° to change the perspective.

HERO13 Black customers can also mount their camera using built-in mounting fingers for the most secure, low-profile option and 1/4-20 mounting threads for use with tripods and standard professional camera accessories.

HERO: Tiny By Design, GoPro By Nature

HERO is the smallest, lightest, most straightforward, and lowest-cost 4K camera ever with a screen. It features:

• Ultra Compact Design, Weighing Only 86g: With built-in mounting fingers included, HERO has 35% less volume and 46% less mass than HERO13 Black.

• Rugged + Waterproof to 16ft (5m): Completely waterproof and built with legendary GoPro durability, HERO is ready to capture the fun whether you’re ripping through mud, snow, water, or just exploring a new city. 
• Intuitive Touch Screen + One-Button Control: Use HERO’s LCD screen to frame your shots perfectly, and swipe or press the mode button to swap modes. When you’re ready, hit the shutter button to start capturing.
• Stunning Image Quality + 2x Slo-Mo: Capture in Ultra HD 4K and HD 1080p video, 12MP photos or slow things down with 2.7K 60 frames per second. You can also grab 8MP frame grabs from your 4K videos using the Quik app. 
• 16:9 Aspect Ratio: Delivers YouTube-optimised, horizontal video.

• HyperSmooth Video Stabilisation With the Quik App: The GoPro Quik app uses HyperSmooth video stabilisation to automatically smooth out bumps in your footage.  
• Long-Lasting Enduro Battery: HERO can record continuously for up to 100 minutes at its highest video setting on a single charge.**
