Consumers were asking for 1) 1 inch sensor 2) low light performance 3) APP upgrade. None of this has been done with Gopro 13. All we get is basically new useless lenses for a crazy high price and an app which you still have to subscribe. I mean, is this a joke? How the heck am I considering to buy a product for more than 500€ which basically no innovation? I'm a 10 years GoPro user and after that I will probably switch to Ace pro. It's crazy how companies set theirself for a big fail.
Actually people don't want a 1 inch sensor because it ends up like what we can see in unbiased comparison : when handheld GP12 vs AO4 vs Ace Pro only one can focus and it's the Gopro, low light performance are directly related so you either sacrifice focus length (which is stupid for an action cam) or sacrifice low light and unlike dji and insta360 they've chosen what's best for an action cam. APP upgrade you are right I agree but it's something they can do eat anytime in the year it's just sad to see that they haven't done it yet
Recently switched to Ace Pro after 14 years with GoPro. The HERO13 doesn't seem to offer anything that changes that. Personally I will wait until HERO14 or Ace Pro2 before I decide to stay or switch back.
@@brynmag yeah it all depends on what you use it for in the end, if you shoot action sport the GoPro is better because of it's better image quality in daylight better field of depth and much better slowmo capabilities, but if you use your camera more casually the ace pro is undeniably a better choice (tho I don't know if the convenience of using a proper camera balance the loss in quality and versatility from using a high end smartphone) all that matters is that it fits your usage the best
It really staggers me how so many people can be so blinkered. I own both GoPro and DJI products and there are pluses and minuses with both. I thank you for a balanced and instructive video explaining the features of the new GoPro. For me I think they have done a good job of giving people like me a more versatile all round very robust media capture device for those that want to go beyond the basics, I love the extra lens and that idea of having auto settings for ND filters brilliant.
So what’s your point, your statement also applies to DJI products as well. I think people get bogged down down on what i call blinkered narrow thinking but when you pull back and look at the larger picture there is a different story to see and that is that the differences between GoPro and its competitors are far more nuanced with swings and roundabouts depending on your own preferences.
@@cvaelliott GoPoo is basically a rip off these days. Front color LCD? Taken from DJI. Magnetic mounting? Taken from DJI. BT Audio? Taken from DJI. Etc.
What we wanted: 1. Bigger Sensor 2. Better Low Light Performance What we got? 1. More Lenses 2. Non Backward Compatibility to older batteries. lol... GOPRO is so behind compare to DJI and Insta360....looking forward to DJI Action5
Thank you for the honest opinion. I have the 12 and use the Osmo Pocket 3. There was an urge to get the 13 but not at the cost of upgrading all of the accessories - especially batteries/chargers.
@@babyboy1971I have that combo and have been almost exclusively using the Pocket 3 because of its low-light capability that is by far the best of ALL my cameras. (Battery life and fast charging is a big plus, too.) In daylight, I like the GoPro better and the stabilization is amazing. Together they are an amazing combo for travel -- something I do all over Peru many times each month. Each has a different situation for which it is excellent.
You really explain this so clearly thank you. This is a win... I use a lot of DJI products, Pocket 3 for one. I use Gopro 10 & 12, wasn't really interested in the 13, but this bluetooth setting for my mic is a win. 😀😀😀
Thank you for all of the great info. Really happy about DJI mic compatibility. Does the camera have a cancel recording feature to quickly delete unwanted clips?

I'd give up a lot of the new features just to get a gopro that doesn't overheat with even modest use. The 12 has been a failure in this regard and I won't upgrade until I see reviews that indicate this issue has been resolved. In this review, you said the 13 overheated before the battery expired, so that's definitely concerning. Looking forward to your thorough review on the 13, to hear your thoughts on overheating.
Thanks for the details. Two questions, is the MediaMod still compatible (from 12 upwards). Are the normal lenses like ND filters you bought for a hero 12 now compatible with the 13? Right 3rd question, wifi transfer rate sounds great but did you test it a bit? It's quite good on 5ghz with my S24 ultra (android) but only works once. To regularly use it I have to switch to 2,4ghz as its not working otherwise. Probably any issues with that? Thanks in advance 🙏
Thank you for this enlightening video. You helped me make up my mind about not purchasing the 13. Was disappointed that they did not introduce 8K. As my Insta360 Ace Pro does shoot in 8K. The other thing is the non compatible battery and other accessories with the 13. We invest a lot of money with accessories and not making them compatible with there new releases upsets me. So I will be staying with my 10&11 as my backups and use primarily my Insta360 Ace Pro. Thanks for the information.
They made a great effort to create more accessories to sell, but they didn’t change the most expected and needed part: the sensor. I’m very disappointed and will stick with my GoPro 11 until they increase the sensor and make a real improvement to their product.
First time I would recommend upgrading ever in the camera market with something new. Still would wait on the DJI response but this is a huge surprise from GoPro which apparently still has a business to run and is doing just that here😊
I have the GP 11 and GP 12. I came from the GP6. Looks like I will be sitting this one out. But I must say, the in camera desqueeze is the most interesting thing for me.
A good, informative video as usual but the reality is, most will not use this camera to it’s full potebtial. True story. Very few of us are “super professional” anything I still use the Hero 8 Black. Does all I want / need it to do. Cracking little camera and super reliable I have found
I'm afraid what I took from your review is, GoPro still has "over heating" problems. I believe the Insta360 Ace Pro does not. I'm gonna have to go Insta360 for my upgrade...GoPro just always seems to be behind the others anymore.
If you are filming for longer than 90 minutes, then you should be using a cinema camera. What in the hell would you be filming for an hour and a half straight?
@@sirgigolo Some of our ultralight flights are around 90 minutes. I get great video for 50-61 minutes with the mounted GP7, 8, 11 and 12 cameras...Good for take off video; bad for landing footage!
BTW: I have the Insta360 X3 and am not that impressed with quality of video, battery life, ease of use, etc. for our application. I get more washed out footage with the X3 compared to even my GP8. I will say that it is lots of fun to rotate the view around to see everything when viewing the footage, but editing in post takes more effort and time than I have. This opinion is mine and mine alone. We use the various action cams to film our ultralight flights.
Very complete coverage. I like a lot of the new improvements. One thing not mentioned is the timecode syncing of multiple cameras, is this still in the camera as was in Hero 12? I do multicam shoots with GoPro cameras (Hero 10, 11) and the built-in timecode in the metadata is critical for me to easily sync in post. I use a QRControl app to set the reference for all cameras. When used with FutureVideo's Multi-View HD Pro 2, all camera videos automatically sync (up to 8 at a time) for simultaneous review (or presentations) and if necessary, does my rough-cuts in seconds without need for rendering.
Thank you for this informative video. Lets see if the Action 5 Pro from DJI will bring better upgrades than the gopro did over it's previous model. Safe to say, I would wait for the GoPro 14 if were ever going to buy a gopro again.
Thank you for your inspiring and informative videos. Please give me your advice for pov long distance walking tours in my beloved Swedish nature. Forests with wonderful contrasts in lighting and sometimes wet. Action Cam, Mirrorless, Iphone, …?
I was about to jump ship to DJI.. but then... "Can be used with DJI mic" "GPS back".. boom!..this were the things I was missing in the 12. For the rest.. yeah, lowlight, sensor size are things that would be nice. But for me the 8:7 sensor is such an important element. Just ordered the 13
On the waterproof charger, will it charge/power th GoPro while it is recording? In previous model, if a charging cable is connected, the GoPro will not record.
I think it’s pretty handy, but I do notice a slight drop in audio quality when recording via Bluetooth. To get better quality, it’s best to record the audio internally to the Mic 2 and synchronize in post.
Thank for this great review, I've seen your video with the Hohem iSteady Pro 4, does the GP hero 13 still fits on the iSteady pro 4 with the custom lenses?
Great review. It is not clear to me. Will my gopro 11 filters fit this camera. I realized the auto filter detect won't work but will they fit. I have a weird feeling it will take some time for the ND's filters to come out. Hope not. Thank yo.
I’m thinking about upgrading from the 10. But I’ve had the 5, the 7, and the 10, and the continuous software crashes are driving me crazy. Is this any better on the 13 or should I look at DJI??
Good rundown of the features. One thing I'd say about the auto-cinematic mode on the ND filters is that it does't aim to keep the shutter at double the frame rate. Instead, Auto-cinematic maximises the motion blur while not going so far as to prevent HyperSmooth from working effectively. In other words, if you want effective HyperSmooth as well as motion blur, Auto-cinematic in conjunction with the Motion Blur Auto setting is the way to go.
I soooo wanted something, anything that would have improved the low light performance without having to buy separate gimbals and fill lights. This camera still doesn’t even match the ace pro and insta is going to introduce the ace pro 2 soon. Guess I’ll keep my hero11 until the ace pro 2 comes out.
I like the addition of being able to connect a wireless mic. I have the 12 and use the Hollyland Lark M2 with media mod. If I can use that mic with the 13 and no media mod, that would be an upgrade for me. I’ll wait to see if they make that option available in a 12 update first, because that is all I really need.
My gopro 11 says missing files and does not save my videos? Bought brand new just have not had time to mess with it. Anybody else know what this problem could be or should I sell it
great video as always ,the macro lens feature is a great plus from the sounds of it. Have they changed the media mod from the hero 10 time? as that is the type i have
Some useful and interesting software improvements, and if your buying your first action camera then it's great, but it's not really worth upgrading if your already a gopro owner. What we'd like to see is a bigger sensor, and a higher data rate such as 150+ Mbps. It's worth mentioning that the much smaller hero records 4k, but ONLY at 50 Mbps, which is very poor and not recommended.
The gopro 13 audio quality with bluetooth connection is lessened when compared to the native audio from the mic. idk why such problem is not present in other devices that can connect to DJI MIC2.
I’m really considering the upgrade since my GoPro is a GoPro hero8 black but before I do I really want to wait for the DJI action 5 and see what they have to offer. I’m hoping you’ll do a review on that one as well when released and Perhaps a comparison video too…😄👍
Great review, I don't feel a need to watch any others after that, thank you. All great updates, but I can't help but feel it's too little too late. Myself and everyone I know has moved to DJI or Insta360 after the reliability issues of GoPro. How reliable has the 13 been during testing, have you ever needed to remove the battery to reset it, any corrupt footage or missing audio?
I would like to have a better low light performance like ace pro instead of a bunch new features not related to the image quality. Anyway it's still good to see the early review of GP13.
No front touch screen in 2024-2025? What's the Min focusing distance? Is the Macro lens mod good for vlogging? That might be a winner for me if it is... Any low light improvement? How's the wireless mic sound Vs. DJI? Seems like another year for the Action 5 for the win. Ace Pro 2?
Very good initial review. I get sucked into these upgrades and, for the most part am happy with the 'new.' Interestingly, for my use anyway, I still seem to get the most pleasing footage from my old GP8, with the battery lasting almost as long as the Enduro battery in my GP11 or 12. If the 13 has the same processor as the 12, I might just get another 12 and replace my old GP7. I don't have a use for all the other lenses, although the filters for filming on bright, sunny days might be helpful.
Excellent work. Thank you :) this magnetic mount looks like what did ulanzi :D the funniest is that i see I can order this new gopro feet from hero 13 and use in hero 9/10/11/12 also :D

My gopro 11 says missing files and does not save my videos? Bought brand new just have not had time to mess with it. Anybody else know what this problem could be or should I sell it
I feel like GoPro has done a lot of improvements for this years version, both in camera but also with some cool new accessories
That best GoPro 13 video so far
If I am not wrong.. if I am using media mod with GoPro 13.. I won't be able to use the new special door for charging using external source.
great video as always ,the macro lens feature is a great plus from the sounds of it. Have they changed the media mod from the hero 10 time? as that is the type i have
Great review thank you. Looking forward to receiving mine
Does the anamorphic change it in camera or in post 😮
Can all the lens fitted into GP11?
Well done and very informative video, thank you
Some useful and interesting software improvements, and if your buying your first action camera then it's great, but it's not really worth upgrading if your already a gopro owner.
What we'd like to see is a bigger sensor, and a higher data rate such as 150+ Mbps.
It's worth mentioning that the much smaller hero records 4k, but ONLY at 50 Mbps, which is very poor and not recommended.
Nicely done, thank you!
Can it connect to two mics at the same time?
Not via Bluetooth
The gopro 13 audio quality with bluetooth connection is lessened when compared to the native audio from the mic. idk why such problem is not present in other devices that can connect to DJI MIC2.
I’m really considering the upgrade since my GoPro is a GoPro hero8 black but before I do I really want to wait for the DJI action 5 and see what they have to offer. I’m hoping you’ll do a review on that one as well when released and Perhaps a comparison video too…😄👍
Very Very Thanks For Video..Perfect..Thumb UP
Great review, I don't feel a need to watch any others after that, thank you. All great updates, but I can't help but feel it's too little too late. Myself and everyone I know has moved to DJI or Insta360 after the reliability issues of GoPro. How reliable has the 13 been during testing, have you ever needed to remove the battery to reset it, any corrupt footage or missing audio?
Zero software glitches in the 7 days I’ve been testing. Also haven’t had glitches with the Hero 12 or 11.
what micro sd card are you using for the hero 13?
Samsung 128GB card
V30 or v60? @@Gemini_Connect
How does it compare to the Ace Pro?
low light best GoPro 13 or dji pocket 3
I would like to have a better low light performance like ace pro instead of a bunch new features not related to the image quality. Anyway it's still good to see the early review of GP13.
Great in-depth review!
The DJI Mic2 sounds better with the Pocket 3 than the Hero13. Bad audio connection mode yet again?
No front touch screen in 2024-2025? What's the Min focusing distance? Is the Macro lens mod good for vlogging? That might be a winner for me if it is... Any low light improvement? How's the wireless mic sound Vs. DJI? Seems like another year for the Action 5 for the win. Ace Pro 2?
Waiting for the Ace Pro 2
I need low light performance.
Very good initial review. I get sucked into these upgrades and, for the most part am happy with the 'new.' Interestingly, for my use anyway, I still seem to get the most pleasing footage from my old GP8, with the battery lasting almost as long as the Enduro battery in my GP11 or 12. If the 13 has the same processor as the 12, I might just get another 12 and replace my old GP7. I don't have a use for all the other lenses, although the filters for filming on bright, sunny days might be helpful.
Excellent work. Thank you :) this magnetic mount looks like what did ulanzi :D the funniest is that i see I can order this new gopro feet from hero 13 and use in hero 9/10/11/12 also :D
