GoPro Hero 13 Leaks - 2 NEW GoPro Cameras

[@VicBarry]

Finally bought the GoPro Hero 13 - My first impressions are here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3rPcoFomqyIkJo

[@papawgotagopro]

I don’t need lenses or 8k. Like every year I’m hoping for better low light and easy high quality audio. Why can’t we have a Media Mod 2.0 with a built in Rode Wireless Receiver.

GoPro is for actions not vloging cameras . And have it’s place.

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@Diddy291 is that why they do a media mod?

[@LokalizeNature]

Dji osmo ^^ nuff said 😎

[@ericd1084]

I honestly don't care about the looks at all. I just want good low light performance, NO overheating, and a bigger sensor. I think it would be cool if it actually had autofocus.

[@greenwoodphotography188]

and I hope the battery is not dying when it is minus 10 C

[@bayern1806]

Bigger sensor means background is out of focus

[@jaymichaud1447]

After having my GoPro keep giving me card errors and losing all my footage no matter what card I used, I switched to Insta 360 ace pro. The low light on it is incredible. GoPro can kick dirt!!

[@nickm50]

@@jaymichaud1447is focus a problem on that camera? I heard the minimum focus distance isn’t great

[@remaxiano]

It’s important to know whether the Media Mod will be necessary or if we can connect the audio directly to the camera. It would also be good if we could connect audio via Bluetooth to the camera using a wireless mic.

[@Panotaker]

If the lens mount was in the middle of the GoPro, like the RX0, then it might have a 1 inch sensor, but since it is off to the side, I don’t think it has a 1 inch sensor.

[@RedMushroom23]

they need to do something with the heating issue, battery compartment and low light settings and who uses 8k anyway people don't even use 5k!

[@anwarkhan.mariner]

I am waiting for 1 inch sensor and low light

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

If we can get 5k60 and record more than 15 min without it melting that would be absolutely an accomplishment. 5k60 for 1hr should be a standard.

[@komandagleby_GB]

Is 5K just more linear horizontal resolution vs. 4K, or does it mean more vertical dimension (squarish)? I'm trying to figure out how to use it. For example, more vertical dimension would allow some vertical panning/postprocessing in 16:9.

[@talelbaz3349]

hi GoPro 13 accessories fit the GoPro Hero or does it have accessories separately and if so, where can I purchase it?

[@joshpit2003]

The primary lens itself doesn't seem any larger on this new Hero 13 Black. But there is still a chance GoPro bumped up the sensor size... I had read the larger sensor sizes suffer greatly with a further minimum focus range (IE: You aren't getting a sharp image of anything short of a full arms-length away). It seems to me that offering a macro lens option is the only feasible solution to this problem. So, does the macro lens we are seeing in these photos exist because the sensor is larger? If so, how bad will the close-focus be without it? My money is on a larger sensor.

[@VicBarry]

Great point! Fingers crossed!

[@MushroomKingdom101]

I'm hoping the gopro hero 13 will have 6k 60fps at least and hopefully the gp3 processor

[@VicBarry]

Hey. Yeah. We’ll have to wait and see. What do you need 6k 60fps for?

[@MushroomKingdom101]

why the f would you need 6k. It will overheat at that resolution and you will cry cuz the camera is "shit"

[@ivanvolchek1187]

What camera did you use to film this video? I'm curious. Very high quality picture. You set up the lighting masterfully.

[@VicBarry]

Thanks Ivan. Sony zv-e1

[@ivanvolchek1187]

@@VicBarry Thanks for the answer. ❤

[@JojoJoget]

All gopro had to do was use a 1 inch sensor with fast readout. 8k but highly sharpened/NR and compressed to deal with noise and size is still crap. Rather have a high bitrate 4k that’s good.

[@VicBarry]

I'm sure we'll find out shortly

[@LifeofScottDenney]

Love my action 4 after switching, lets ser if gopro can interest me enough to buy one of their products again...

[@joshpit2003]

This is the best Action camera mounting solution on the market. You get the best two options: The robust, indestructible fold-down tabs when you need them, or the quicker magnetic clip-mount. All without having to choose one or the other (no removing or replacing of parts).

[@BushidoPhoto]

GoPro should make an anamorphic lens with desqueeze built in.

[@VicBarry]

That would be cool. Although I don’t think that’s their expertise

[@BushidoPhoto]

I know, but Moment was able to do it for cell phones. lol

[@BorderRambler]

Interesting stuff on the new GoPros , I have the 10 and 11 but I think DJI have overtaken them. For me the Bluetooth mic connection on the DJI does it for me. I wonder if GoPro will have that option or connecting mics ??

[@GregorThomasSkopp]

As long as there is no freeze and it records normaly, without demaging the video files. It will be a great camera!

[@ivpetr8880]

Hey man! What kind of Rode do you use?

[@Anto_Levo_Mtb]

I switched to dji few years ago and no looking back

[@VicBarry]

What did you switch to?

[@Anto_Levo_Mtb]

@@VicBarry dji osmo action 3, i shoot in manual. Can keep stablization in low light and iso fairly low.

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

The one with the grill has no front facing screen so for POV shots. For the second one, GoPro really need to up their game with audio and come out with a DJI style mic where the receiver is built into the camera otherwise DJI wins hands down.

[@josevich]

Exactly! Not having a fron screen is a big step back

[@rudydoyle]

Haven't we learned not to get excited about gopro by now. I am looking forward to seeing what the action 5 brings.

[@VicBarry]

Ha. That’s fair. Although this seems different.

[@rudydoyle]

@VicBarry I appreciate all your videos. The 7 was a worthy upgrade, as well as the 9. None after the 9 have been worth it. I regret buying the 12. I would have been fine sticking with the 9.

[@sunnyboner676]

@@rudydoyleagreed! I still have my Hero 9 and haven’t felt any need to upgrade to anything else GoPro put out. I did get the Osmo Pocket 3 recently and love it! I think I’ll wait for the Action 5 to come out in the hopes of replacing my Hero 9. Hopefully, the Action 5 has a receiver built in for the DJI Mic 2 just like the Pocket 3!

[@grantekroth2302]

This still doesn't come close to what Insta360 is doing

[@amolchopade7649]

Shoul I buy 2024 Go Pro mini or Go Pro 10? same price in India

[@SeanWest-xb5cc]

It's got to be , they tried the software and firmware update on the 12, and I don't think it would slide with the 13 . There are too many good alternatives now. Let's hope 13 is not unlucky for gopro

[@MRMRS2wheeler]

With every new Gopro release I get excited, until I purchase and actually use the camera. Then the issues start. Bugs, overheating, freezing, disconnects from remote (and won't reconnect), lost footage, etc. SO after way over a decade (starting with Hero HD) I am done with Gopro! Making the switch to DJI. They might be a bit behind Gorpo (they will catch up), but there is no denying the reliability of their cameras. I know I will not lose footage. Thanks for the update. Enjoying your videos.

[@MaxCorner11]

super agree! gopro is overrated. can't even fix heat issue and shutting down less than an hour 😅

[@normanwhitelaw2314]

Thanks!

[@VicBarry]

No problem!

[@RandomLifeProductions]

Go pro has been so disappointing of late they need to substantially prove themselves

[@VicBarry]

Yeah definitely needs to shake things up

[@HN-oq3gf]

i hope they fix the sensor size, the heat, and the overall unreliability of the gopros.

[@nyrubin]

If they don’t release a 1” sensor they will never survive.

[@VicBarry]

Ya think?

[@neilmossey]

Big thanks for this Vic! I'd just want the video to be in sync with the audio which my last gopro failed to do and haven't gone back... But this looks niiice I've dug out my DJI Action 2 out of the drawer and been using it all month... so this was timed well...

[@VicBarry]

I’m not sure that’s a GoPro problem Neil. Haven’t come across that to be honest. Might be an sd card or software thing on what you’re editing maybe.

[@SimonsAstro]

Good vid Vic, I’m sure the new GoPro will be awesome, however, I need a vlogging camera that is excellent in low light, or even dark!! Will the GoPro have high ISO and be good in low light?

[@VicBarry]

Who knows on this one. They all have high iso but tonnes of noise the higher you go

[@definingslawek4731]

As an FPV pilot I was very excited for the new mini but if it's worse than the 13 then It's a no go for me. I'd love to take the smaller one for weight purposes but I need the best image quality.

[@brentadcock8928]

the first one you showed will i think be the one for motorcyclist

[@simonwyndham]

A big red flag is how the accessories list calls the Max Lens Mod 2.0 the "Ultra Wide Lens Mod". I can't say for sure that these 'leaks' are false, but something about them just doesn't fully pass the smell test for me.

[@BlackRiverRider]

They need to bring back the built in DAC for audio and manual gain control for it.

[@Mikeycambovideos]

Too little too late. I don’t think they can bring back the consumers confidence

[@VicBarry]

Yeah, that's a fair point! They need something to shake things up

[@akumaz78]

Still no magnetic mount 😅

[@graphguy]

If they have not fixed overheating and battery life, they can KMA.

[@VicBarry]

Think battery life is always gonna be an issue unless they make a bigger battery (again)

[@graphguy]

@@VicBarry somewhat. My DJI osmo action 4 lasts 30% longer and is same size

[@hellounclesim]

Every year, we ask if it has the "doesn't freeze" feature.

[@joyousland]

Gopro is disappointing supporters since DJI Action 3 catch up , and Action 4 is a huge leap forward in the competition. In performance, battery life, stability, larger sensor, ease of use, accessories, price....... DJI is much much better.

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

Just need a GoPro which actually works. My studio has owned loads over the years. Most of them have failed at some point or another… Will never buy from GoPro again unless they dramatically improve their pathetic performance ‘glitches’ my hero 11 mini (internal) battery just cooked itself to death when it was actually off 😂

[@Peteleeds1303]

Still no hdmi out.

[@tsdmoto]

If they don;t have a bigger sensor and solid low light, then it's a hard pass. Oh and better quality firmware.

[@VicBarry]

Yeah. Think a lot of people want this. What are you shooting for the low light and bigger sensor needs?

[@rudyschwab7709]

These cameras were not intended to video record your friend's wedding or your your kid's little league game. Try recording shorter duration clips and put them together in post. I've never had a GoPro overheat while grabbing quick action shots, or while using them for extended times in the water.

[@VicBarry]

Great point

[@derekdrummond7544]

I think you'd have a huge problem if it overheated underwater !

[@atistiltins6163]

exactly, it is a purpose camera and its purpose is to be mounted in places/weather, that bigger cameras are not practical or impossible to mount for the durration of the action. There are very few cases where the action goes on for hours, that all needs to be captured in pov style or simillar

[@TejsWorld]

I gave up after the 12. If they put a one inch sensor I’ll get one.

[@elmono3939]

To me, GoPro became irrelevant few models ago. We are lucky, there is a solid competition to GoPro that gives us more - and better - features. If GoPro wanna win our support again, they have to step up to the plat and deliver. So far, more of the same. Thank you

[@sebw3964]

I gues the Mini 13 will not get removable battery.If yes,i will buy it.

[@TypicalRichlan]

Hopefully go pro did something about overheating and battery life

[@MaxCorner11]

you can't fool us anymore. same issue: overheating, shutting down, and battery is a mess. lens is useless when the camera is not reliable.

[@sk7262]

i for one bought upto the 11 and rolled back and stuck with my 7b after all the issues and worked with my remote also smaller. there is nothing my phone with 3 lenses can't do.... only more and don't have to remember bringing it with me. this one trick pony is at its EOL in my books

[@maineman0866]

I have been very pleased with my GoPro 8 Black. I know newer models have marginally better stabilization, but to me the cost was not worth it. I am always interested in what the 13 has to offer, so I look forward to knowing more about it. Thanks for this valuable heads-up!

[@SanoyNimbus]

That "Hero" camera ... If it is only 4K, unless it is really good slowmo, I am not interested. But also, I don't like that they didn't include a standard 1/4 thread on it ...

[@VicBarry]

Yeah. Doesn’t make sense why it’s not on it to be honest

[@robinsoninforma]

Go pro is a total junk, they care only about money rather than customer satisfaction, too expensive for the product you get, then you have to pay for everything else, wanna wireless mic? You have to buy so many GO PRO EXPENSIVES adapters, wanna this buy this and so on... , and this just the tip of the iceberg about go pro's drawbacks, like terrible recordings at low light environments and so on and so on... . while dji made everything so straightforward packed there in once and an affordable price, definitely the dji cameras the best, go pro R. I. P. I would never ever buy another go pro

[@creativepicnl]

I never knew that overheating was a thing on the GoPro. Anyway: My last update was the Hero 7 and it’s fine.

[@xORLOCKx]

Every single gopro has heat issues.. i would love to have the mini 11 that just works. Dont want a new model.. i want the current models that actually work

[@giantasparagus]

Gopro is set to release a moto helmets next year also. The stock is rock bottom..

[@Airlessmean]

Rather better low light at this point tbh the 5.3k is far enough at the mo. 1 inch sensor and 1.7 would be great honestly

[@Frombehindthelens]

Very interesting we see what happens I have DJI product never had any problems with it. One of the reasons I didn’t go for go pro because over heating issues. Best wishes Graham

[@mikelafferty5253]

Its gotta be BETTER than my X4 for me to buy it, Must Haves are Bigger sensor, great low light, no overheating and a 1/4 20. I have skipped everything since my Her0 10 so Im still on the fence.

[@davidsoldiron]

I like your thinking on the little Hero. I wonder if they will offer a trade in deal? I really don't want the brand new 12 that I got as I am still in love with my little Hero 7 Black. They suit me and what I am doing very well. I will also "wait and see" on the new Hero 13.

[@VicBarry]

Not sure but you’d probably get more if you sell it yourself.

[@joshpit2003]

Hero 7 Black may go down as the best GoPro ever made. It was the last true action camera, in that it maintained a small form factor along with a removable lens (Hero8 blew that one), and had no "selfie" front screen, which came at the determent of size (Hero 9+). I'm still rocking the Hero 7, and it's gonna take a lot of convincing to replace it with something physically larger. I'm more interesting in this new, smaller HERO model. I'm just on the fence about the non-removable battery.

[@carrigman]

Nothing in the specs to get excited about, in my view. I don't see the point of a macro lens in an action cam. I'm quite happy with my GoPro 11 - excellent image quality and the Enduro batteries are robust and long-lasting even in very cold weather. And I've never had it freeze (unlike my previous GP8). A 1-inch sensor would be the only thing that might cause me to upgrade as it would produce better low-light performance but if that doesn't materialise, I won't be buying.

[@RetroBusker]

I started with the 8... my brother had the 7, its crap, has no stabilization... 8 was great... 10 had lota changes, beautiful camera... 11 nd 12 was close to not gettin as they wer cash grab nothings, im a tech nerd so wasted my money anyway😅

[@sharifsalem]

On second one that’s not a grill, looks like a rubber grip.

[@willmatic84]

I still have the 9 😂 my 9 is a upgrade from the hero 4 that I had for 8 years

[@g72h]

Finally...Gopro get rid of the front screen to reduce the power consumption and add the heat sink instead!

[@FangsCPO]

The front screen made it easy when positioning a selfie video, i.e. walking around and talking to the camera. Not used often but nice to have that capability.

[@mx118racer]

Gopro hero need to compete with 50g action2 to be a real use for us fpv drone guys. Sick of carrying 150g brick on the crafts action2 is perfect just could do with a tad better dyn range

[@ArcticExploring]

And it still will freeze up as they did since 8.

[@SGSAutomotive]

GoPro need to make huge steps forward or DJI will still wipe the floor with them. What use is any camera that overheats and doesn’t work within 15 minutes. I mean I can’t do the very thing it was designed for 😂

[@ZitroMoto]

Yeah I used the macro lens when I'm motovlogging 😅

[@VicBarry]

🤣

[@jackpast]

Yeah my 10 is still doing me great. Not waiting for Hollywood to call.

[@Kirkster131]

They have a lot to prove to get creators back. Random shut offs, crappy remote, poor build quality. Everyone else has caught up or passed them.

[@josevich]

No screen in fron to frame yourself with? That's a huge step back. I'd rather buy Insta or DJI

[@go-explore]

Hero 7??? The hero 12 has been outstanding

[@VicBarry]

I take the point, but the Hero 7 was a huge leap compared to everything that went before it. They really only iterated on that from there on. But the 12 absolutely is superb

[@dorofteimarius]

I feel like GoPro is on the verge of bankruptcy. If they don't improve the actual image quality instead of all these meaningless peripheral aspects, almost no one will buy this generation…

[@EternalArrow]

Who and why might want to have macro lens on camera?! It's silly.

I wish GoPro or some other company can compete in the seemingly monopolized 360 action cam arena soon. 😅

[@TheParkPlanet]

i think for gopro to get back to the bast action camera company they just most importantly have to fix some of the bugs and problems! Then a 1:1/3 or even a 1 inch sensor would make it sicnificantly better! It just needs way better low light capabilities a way better/ less noisy iso thats actually usable with no noise to at least iso 800 or 1600 and a better lens. The image just looks like a actioncamera image and it should look more than a real camera i think. Just use the pocket 3 pack it into an actioncamera and baaaam.

[@rjfotovideo]

Can't wait for Osmo Action 5. Had gopro 8 and 10 and sold they quite fast because of all those random issues etc. Also DJI listen to their customers.

[@Whatreally123]

I have the 5, 7, 10. All of them hang randomly, or video freezes and audio is recorded. Battery life sucks. Has become too big. Mediamod is nothing but a cash grab than providing any real functionality. I have out my gopros on sale. Once sold, ill pick up the DJI Action 4 or 5 (whener that is released).
