Media Reviews

PCMag4/5

GoPro Hero13 Black Review | PCMag

The Hero13 Black is viewed as an incremental, rather than revolutionary, update. While it offers modest video engine improvements and a helpful new accessory lens ecosystem, the reviewer suggests most users would be just as well-served by the cheaper Hero12 Black.

WIRED7/10

GoPro Hero 13 Black Review: Interchangeable Lenses and Magnetic Mounting | WIRED

The reviewer praises the new interchangeable lens system and magnetic mounting but notes that the sensor and processor remain unchanged from previous generations, leading to poor low-light performance. It is recommended for first-time buyers, but not as an upgrade for those with recent models.
