GoPro HERO13 Black and Hero, Now official in the Philippines
GoPro has just dropped a bombshell with the release of their latest action cameras: the HERO13 Black and the HERO. These new additions to the GoPro lineup are set to redefine the way we capture our adventures, packing in a host of innovative features that will leave you in awe.
HERO13 Black: The Ultimate Creative Powerhouse
The HERO13 Black is a true masterpiece, boasting a mind-blowing combination of cutting-edge technology and endless creative possibilities. With its best-in-class 5.3K 60fps video, Emmy Award-winning HyperSmooth stabilization, and a range of exciting new features, this camera is a force to be reckoned with.
One of the standout features of the HERO13 Black is the incredible 13x Burst Slo-Mo, which captures up to 400 frames per second at HD-quality 720p video, as well as 5.3K at 120fps and 900p at 360fps. This means you can create stunning slow-motion footage that will leave your audience in awe.
The camera also features a redesigned 10% larger capacity, more power-efficient Enduro battery that extends runtimes in all weather conditions. Plus, with the new Snap and Go Magnetic Latch Mounting system, you can easily attach your camera to any surface and start shooting in seconds.

HB-Series Lenses: Unleash Your Creativity
To take your creative game to the next level, GoPro has introduced the innovative HB-Series Lenses, which are compatible exclusively with the HERO13 Black. These lenses are automatically detected by the camera, providing optimal settings based on the lens type and environment.
The Ultra Wide Lens Mod transforms your HERO13 Black into the ultimate POV camera, capturing more in every shot with a 177° field of view and a new 1:1 aspect ratio. The Macro Lens Mod allows you to expand your creative possibilities with variable focus, while the Anamorphic Lens Mod captures ultra-wide-angle, artistic footage with less distortion.
HERO: Tiny By Design, GoPro By Nature
For those looking for a more compact and affordable option, the HERO is the perfect choice. Weighing in at just 86 grams, this is the smallest, lightest, simplest to use, and lowest cost 4K camera ever with a screen.
Despite its small size, the HERO packs a punch with its rugged and waterproof design, intuitive touch screen, and stunning image quality. You can capture Ultra HD 4K and HD 1080p video, 12MP photos, or slow things down with 2.7K 60fps.
The HERO also features a long-lasting Enduro battery that can record continuously for up to 100 minutes at its highest video setting on a single charge. Plus, with the GoPro Quik app, you can easily edit and share your footage on the go.
GoPro Subscription: Unlock a World of Perks
To get the most out of your new GoPro camera, consider signing up for a GoPro subscription. With the Premium or Premium+ plans, you’ll unlock a range of exclusive perks, including automatic highlight videos sent to your phone, easy editing tools in the Quik app, and unlimited cloud backup.
