Features overview

All-in-One Creative Solution

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition combines our best camera with the pro-grade mounts and accessories you need to tell your story right out of the box. It includes the Volta (Battery Grip / Tripod / Remote), Media Mod and Light Mod that seamlessly come together in a lightweight design that’s comfortable enough to carry through an all-day production.

Best-in-Class 5.3K Video

5.3K video delivers breathtaking image quality with 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p. The HERO13 Black Creator Edition captures the action with crisp detail and exacting image quality so any shot with any lens will look amazing. 5.3K video also lets you grab stunning photos up to 24.7 MP from your footage using the GoPro Quik app.

Burst Slo-Mo

HERO13 Black features our slowest slo-mo ever with the ability to record video clips with the action slowed down to 13x normal speed. You’ll also be able to record short 4x slo-mo clips using our highest 5.3K resolution video to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see with the naked eye.

Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilisation

HyperSmooth 6.0 continues to set the bar for in-camera video stabilisation—giving you impossibly smooth footage no matter how rough it gets. HyperSmooth AutoBoost ensures that you’re getting the widest stabilised footage possible by seamlessly adjusting the shot based on your speed and movement.

Built-In 360° Horizon Lock

The Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens keeps the horizon steady, straight and smooth even if your camera rotates a full 360° during capture.⁴ Combined with HyperSmooth video stabilisation, Horizon Lock gives your footage the super-smooth look of professional productions.

All-Day Capture + Upgraded Enduro Battery

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition combines HERO13 Black’s Enduro battery with the power of the Volta grip to give you a total of 6800 mAh of power. That’s over 5 hours of continuous of 4K recording or over 4.5 hours of 5.3K30 recording¹ (our highest resolution)—enough to capture a full day of video clips. The upgraded Enduro also dramatically improves cold-weather performance so you can power through ski, snowboard and other winter shots.

1-Handed Control + Remote

Integrated camera buttons on the grip give you easy one-handed control of your camera: power on and off, start and stop capture, and switching modes. You can even detach the camera from the grip and use the grip as a wireless remote to control your camera from up to 30 m away.⁷

Easily Expandable

The Media Mod gives you the option of expanding your HERO13 Black Creator Edition with additional gear to help you capture your story. It features a standard 3.5-mm mic port for adding your own external mic and HDMI-out for playback on external monitors, plus two cold-shoe mounts for lights, LCD screens or other accessories.

Powerful LED Lighting

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition’s Light Mod lets you brighten the action and illuminate your next adventure with wide, even light. It features four levels of brightness (up to 200 lumens) plus Overdrive and strobe modes, and also works as a handy standalone light that can be used with GoPro mounts.

Built-In Tripod

In addition to making it easy to hold and aim your camera, the HERO13 Black Creator Edition’s Volta grip has built-in tripod legs that easily flip out any time you need to set it down to capture stationary and hands-free shots. Swivel mounting fingers even let you rotate and tilt the camera to find just the right capture angle.

Mounting Flexibility

The included Magnetic Latch Mount makes it faster and easier to attach and detach your GoPro from the Volta grip. Magnets guide your camera into position so all you have to do is snap it in place. This is especially convenient when you want to switch your camera to another mount. The grip’s retractable mounting fingers make it easy to attach your Creator Edition to GoPro backpack straps to capture a first-person view of your journeys. It can also be used with other GoPro mounts and includes 1/4”-20 mounting threads for use with tripods and other standard camera accessories.

Widescreen, Vertical + Full-Screen Capture

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition’s powerful 1/1.9” image sensor lets you do more. Choose widescreen capture (16:9 aspect ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or vertical videos (9:16 aspect ratio) for social media posting. For maximum versatility, the full-frame option (8:7 aspect ratio) captures a 156° field of view that lets you crop in to create widescreen and vertical shots later.

27-MP Photos + 24.7-MP Frame Grabs

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition takes 27-MP Single, Interval, Burst and Night photos that let you capture standard, fast-action and low-light shots with the press of the shutter button. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7 MP of your favourite shots from your videos using the GoPro Quik app.

Enhanced Audio Capture

The HERO13 Black Creator Edition’s Media Mod features a standard 3.5-mm mic port that lets you plug in a wired mic. It also has a built-in directional mic for improved voice recording. Set the mic to prioritise audio coming from in front of the camera to capture interviews and performances, behind the camera to add your commentary to everything happening in front of you or set it to treat front and rear audio equally. It also includes a removable foam mic cover that suppresses wind gusts up to 32 kph.

Built Around the Durable + Waterproof HERO13 Black

At the core of the HERO13 Black Creator Edition is HERO13 Black—the world’s most versatile camera. Used on its own, HERO13 Black gives you amazing image quality, plus the legendary toughness that can take a beating whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (to depths of 10 m).⁷ You can also use HERO13 Black with GoPro mounts to capture unique-one-of-a-kind perspectives and a huge variety of body-, helmet- and gear-mounted shots.

Compatible with HB-Series Lenses (sold separately)

HB-Series Lenses let you swap out the standard lens that came with your camera to capture a wide variety of speciality shots. The Ultra-Wide Lens Mod is the ultimate POV lens for action-packed scenes and epic landscapes. The Macro Lens Mod captures close-up shots in stunning detail. Neutral Density Filters let you control the lighting in your shots with professional results. Try the Anamorphic Lens Mod for pro-level cinematic shots. Your GoPro even detects when a lens or filter is attached and automatically adjusts its settings accordingly.
