GoPro almost never puts its cameras on sale. Outside of a handful of major shopping events each year, and exclusively through Amazon, you’re paying full price. That’s why Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday are the only real opportunities to snag a deal on their latest gear. Right now, the HERO13 Black bundle (including two batteries) is down to $399 from its usual $499, and this is an all-time low for the newest model. If you’ve been waiting to document your ski trips, capture your kids’ soccer games from unique angles, mount a camera on your mountain bike for trail footage or simply record your travels in stunning quality that your phone can’t match, this is your moment.

This package comes complete with goodies that truly make a difference: You receive two Enduro batteries, which is a big deal because action camera batteries have a short life when you’re recording in chilly weather or capturing high-def video. Enduro batteries are also designed to hold up better when it’s cold outside and have a longer overall life, giving you up to 2.5 hours of solid 5.3K recording per battery pack.
Another welcome innovation is the waterproof shutter remote which allows you to initiate recording or stop recording from a distance of up to 196 feet away. This allows you to affix the GoPro HERO 13 Black camera on your helmet, your ride or a tripod and operate it without awkwardly pressing the small buttons on the camera which is extremely handy when your hands are gloved or the camera is mounted somewhere out of easy reach.
Film-Like Experience That Accommodates Your Trek
The HERO13 Black captures at 5.3K resolution which provides 91% more information than regular 4K and a whopping 665% more resolution than 1080p. That extra resolution provides serious leeway in post-editing. Crop-in on your shots, firm up shaky frames or punch-in on details without sacrificing quality. The GoPro Quik app even allows you to pull 24.7-megapixel still images straight out of your 5.3K video so you never have a bad photo because you happened to be recording video rather than pics.
One of the coolest capabilities is Burst Slo-Mo which takes action at 13 times normal speed. Just think about being able to capture a skate trick, a breaking wave, or a bike jump with all the little details witnessed in silky smooth slow motion. And you can capture 4x slow motion at the full 5.3K resolution which creates extremely detailed slo-mo video that freezes movements and moments your eye might otherwise miss.
The GoPro HERO13 Black includes native support for HB-Series Lenses that are automatically switched when you put them on the camera. The Ultra Wide Lens Mod is perfect for POV shots when you need to see all that’s in front of you, from ski slopes to surf sessions. The Macro Lens Mod places you very close to the subject for close-ups of small objects, details, or animals. Neutral Density filters enable you to naturally blur fast-paced scenes for motion blur and exposure control for sunny scenes, adding a cinematic effect to your clips.
Designed to withstand the toughest environments, the HERO13 Black is water-resistant up to 33 feet without the need for extra housing. Water-repellent lens cover minimizes lens flare, giving you clear shots even when wet.
For that price, getting the complete bundle with two batteries is a steal.
