Customer Ratings & Reviews

I totally recommend it, the sellers were very polite and answered all my questions about the equipment.

I like the magnetic attachments, not seeing a ton of benefit other than that for upgrading from the 11. Haven’t explored the 240fps / 2.7k ability but maybe that’s another reason to grab one.

High-quality and much better than previous gopro. High recommend

Christmas gift for my husband it is amazing tiny and so perfext

The first go pro I purchased had a firmware issue I went back to BB they exchanged it all worked great on the second one

Love the size of it and the quality of it. Light weight which makes it easy to use.

Adorei a Go Pro Hero 13 black Excelente camera as fotos ficaram ótimas!!!

The info on this cam states it can be used as a webcam. This is why I bought it. We do live streaming of many activities, from high energy rock music to kick boxing, so I wanted an "action-web cam". Well, GoPro deprecated the desktop app Quik for Win11. It still works for Android, IOS, and MacOS, but nixed for Win11. They replaced Quik with "Desktop Webcam" app, which simply does not work. It allows only partial functionality. This also FORCES a manual update required to operate the GoPro = Royal PITA. Win11 does not recognize the GoPro as a camera at all. So a few selected app, like Zoom, may recognize it, but it CANNOT be used as a webcam as advertised. A little research reveals that GoPro is intentionally shifting away from desktop apps in favor of mobile devices. Why? Who knows? So, unless they bring back Quik for Win11, which is unlikely, it simply does not work as advertised.

It was pretty good. To be honest, not ground breaking compared to the 11 or 12. 4K is still 4K at the end of the day.

Best Buy for a vacation. Small and great quality. Lots of accessories

It work great just like it should also it weather resistant

Our friend was extatic to receive this as a gift excited to use it !

Works great if upgraded…………………………………………………,,..,,,,,buy it

Bought for a gift, I think it will be an awesome upgrade.

The device over heats constantly even in a cool environment. Very hard to connect to the phone at times. Takes a while for the memory card to register.

Is a very good camara and good resolutions Very recommended

I’m still learning the new GoPro and trying to decide if it’s the best in the market. Good upgrade from my previous model but looking for better wide view capture option.

First time using it in 1 foot of water, it died on me on a once in a lifetime vacation. Very frustrated.

Relies on expensive accessories. Lenses are not seemless to change. Bestbuy will not let you remove or change your reviews!

This is my first GoPro type camera (might as well go with the real thing), and I think I’m getting at least one more. I am very rarely encouraged to find creative options in using any of the gadgets I get, but the size and quality of this camera just beg to be used for everything. The picture is amazing, the steadiness it’s able to apply to all the sudden movements when doing activities is remarkable. At the air show, I was shooting with my SLR at the same time as the GoPro 13. The GoPro footage is smooth and easy on the eyes while my handheld SLR videos are shaky and amateurish. The camera does tend to blow out bright colors a bit, but I think that makes the videos more eye catching right away. The number of mounts and grips and clamps and hooks (oh my!) you can use to attach this to yourself or your stuff is nearly unlimited. You can go for some super cheap no-name stuff from Amazon to experiment with so you can figure out which accessories you really want, then get the better/more durable mounts or clamps or whatever you need. If you’re not worried about looking odd, some of the coolest footage I was able to capture is definitely POV from eye-height. There are so many uses for this GoPro; I keep thinking of new ways to use it and it just goes to work. You can stick it on a selfie stick and put it in a pond and make a fish movie (pretty cool) or take it to the beach and not have to worry so much about it getting ruined from the salt and sand (SLR?). A few of the surfers we were watching had mounted them on the front of their surfboards for some cool shots. Seeing the cats smacking each other from their vantage point is also hilarious. I was able to use it as a makeshift inspection camera to check the roof of the camper without climbing up there. The voice commands work great, and it was even somehow able to respond to my voice while at the airshow with all the noise that entails, I thought that was impressive. Once I set it up, I didn’t have to do much else beyond pressing the record button. I have found myself recording mundane things in slow motion and it’s still fun to watch. The camera responds fairly quickly to rapid changes in available light, like going indoors from a sunny exterior. It appears to prefer to set exposure to favor the most brightly lit area in the FOV, which makes sense for an action focused camera, but with a small LED light attached, I was able to check the underside of the camper. I wouldn’t rely on this as an inspection camera, but it works in a pinch. The fisheye effect that it shoots with by default is rather pronounced, but there is a “Linear” mode that seems to do real time lens correction very well. Of course, since the video it is shooting is at such high resolution, you have a lot of options to modify or correct your footage and still have great results. I haven’t tried any of the lenses yet, but I think I’ll be getting at least the anamorphic mod. The lenses are not cheap, but neither is the camera, and making even a little lens that can stand up to the kind of punishment I imagine these cameras take is going to take some high-end materials and engineering, so I can’t complain about lens prices. The GoPro site stated the Hero 13 can record up to 2.5 hours with the new battery (the 13 is not compatible with batteries from previous models), and I got about 2 hours, but I was messing with it all the time, so the screen(s) were taking their share of juice. The batteries are very affordable on the GoPro site, so getting a couple of extras for a trip or adventure isn’t going to break the bank. There is also a magnetic quick connect charging cable you can add (it replaces the battery door), effectively making storage the only limiting factor for your recordings. During my day at the airshow, the camera got warm while recording, nothing like what I would call hot, but it was cloudy out. I imagine this little guy will get quite toasty out in the sun, but I’ll have to find out later. The Quik app is effortless; after using the camera’s very fast built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi to connect to my iPhone it was able to put together an amusing reel from a mountain of junk footage I shot at the airshow. I haven’t been able to see the automatic uploading during charging since we don’t have much connectivity out here. The interface on the touch screen is tiny buy sharp enough that it’s not hard to read, and it’s simple enough to learn your way around the interface without much trouble. The subscription is reasonably priced for unlimited footage from the camera and a little insurance policy if you manage to break it. If you’re planning on buying any accessories, you get discounts on the GoPro site as well. It seems like a pretty good deal to me, I went for it. The hardware and software build quality is excellent. The operation is simple. I have experienced no crashes or unexpected operations or random errors. There is a distinct lack of fussiness about using this camera that makes it appealing to use. Everything feels sorted and built to work in the simplest way possible which is a hallmark of durability. This camera feels like it’s going to last a while. It just works. I would recommend this camera without reservation.
