This was a gift for my grandson. He had it attached to his helmet about 30 minutes later. Just remember to get a SIM card.

Sweet new GoPro 13. I'm using this for mountain biking and flyfishing. I own 2 other GoPro cameras and can't wait to see what this one can do. So far, excellent!

Love this! Have to watch some videos to understand the capability as a novice but once this is understood the different options provide fun experiments. The Quick app is not so fun once my videos go beyond around 8.

Very good camera. I have been dreaming about one for a long time. Now all my wonderful moments in life are captured with a good angle. It is very good that it is waterproof. It will allow you to shoot magnificent views underwater.a camera for many occasions!

The store manager was outstanding in locating and having this camera transferred to his store in time for us to take it to Hawaii.
His teams knowledge of the product was valuable in quickly acquiring the basic skills to get the most out of the camera.

Good and Plenty of Bad

This camera has been frustrating to own and use, to say the least. On the positive side, the camera's image quality is excellent. It's capturing my nature walks beautifully and I'm really happy with the videos I'm getting with my preferred settings. In addition, the camera works well with the GoPro chest mount and I find the mount system to be easy to use. Finally, the ability to plug in an external microphone and capture binaural audio as I have has been easy... although I did have to purchase an obscure 90-degree male-to-female jack to be able to use an external microphone while using the chest mount.
Unfortunately, there are some bad things I've experienced with this camera.
1) The battery. The battery life is awful when in use. I'm lucky to be able to record 50 minutes of footage. Further, the battery drains quickly even while sitting someplace, turned off. Without any wireless or other settings that might cause it. For me, it loses about 5% per 12 hours of sitting turned off. Given the short time the battery lasts when in use, this can be super annoying. On top of this, the battery takes forever to charge. Several hours. I didn't purchase the separate battery charger, and instead charged by plugging the camera into a USB-C port on my computer. This seems perfectly reasonable, but unfortunately not for this camera. The rate of charge is entirely slow, (multiple hours to get charged up). Perhaps the charge would be quicker and more consistent with the separate charging dock, but it seems ridiculous that it would be necessary for such a basic function. In addition, the battery cannot charge via USB-C into a computer or car while in use. It goes into a forced "data transfer" mode and ends any recording going on. If you want to have a larger "capacity", you have to remove the battery and plug in via USB-C, and hope that your charging source meets GoPro's requirements that seem strangely high. Charging via USB-C from a computer is very inconsistent, with it regularly "disconnecting" and "reconnecting" for some reason. See more about this below.
2) Data transfer is painful. Plugging into one's desktop computer via USB-C is easy enough, but for whatever reason, if trying to transfer more than one file at a time, the transfer will randomly cancel as the connection will disconnect and reconnect within milliseconds of each other. This never happens if I just transfer one file at a time. As you can imagine, transferring 10 video files one by one is frustrating. I'm using the USB-C cable that came with the camera and it's being plugged into a USB-C port on the motherboard. Nevertheless, this happens and it's awful. Some will suggest that I take the MicroSD card out and put it into a separate USB-C card reader... but again, that's more money and something that should NOT have to happen. Beyond that, I use the Media Mod accessory and having to take the camera out of that any time I want to charge or transfer data seems silly. What's the point of the USB-C pass-through if it's not able to be used? Data transfer, like battery charging, is a basic feature of any camera. It needs to work sufficiently well out of the box. This camera's data transfer does not.
If I could sum it up, I regret purchasing this camera and the accessories (chest mount, suction mount, Media Mod, Micro SD card). While the video quality is indeed excellent and the external audio jack in the media mod is doing its job well, this camera struggles with some very basic things... charging/battery and data transfer. That is super disappointing for having spent approximately $600 on the equipment.

Using camera with auxiliary battery

Camera worked fine except it did not work using an auxiliary external battery like it claimed in the instruction manual. I have to use the battery because my videos are more than a hour. It said in the error on the screen that it needed a 2 amp supply but I was already using a larger supply. The tech from GoPro tried to help but with no success and offered to send a new camera as a replacement. Before I was to return the camera, i checked online and found out that all the cameras did this and GoPro though their "Lab" part of their website offered a software fix. I did that and it worked. I have since for the past few weeks been filming with no problems. I wish the GoPro tech had suggested that.

I love the camera, but it has overheating issues. That's super hot after 52 ten minutes of use. Went on a couple blogs, and everyone seems to have the same issue. I would give a five, but due to that issue, I will only give a three
