GoPro unveils HERO13 Black and new 4K camera

GoPro has unveiled its latest camera lineup, introducing the cutting-edge HERO13 Black and the ultra-compact HERO, both designed to enhance the user experience with advanced features and sleek designs.

These new cameras build upon GoPro’s patented technologies, offering unique benefits for creators and adventurers alike.

The HERO13 Black, GoPro’s flagship model priced at RM1,999, comes with new HB-Series Lenses and enhanced performance features.

Meanwhile, the smaller, more affordable HERO (RM999) offers users the lightest and simplest 4K camera experience yet. Both models are now available for preorder, with global availability starting in September.

HERO13 Black: The pinnacle of performance

The HERO13 Black is packed with premium features designed for power users and creative professionals.

It delivers 5.3K video at 60 frames per second and introduces new technologies to enhance the user experience.

According to GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman, “HERO13 Black features four new interchangeable lens mods that automatically adjust settings, providing flexibility for any creative scenario.”

Among the standout upgrades is the HERO13’s 13x Burst Slo-Mo, which captures an incredible 400 frames per second in HD-quality video.

The camera also features a redesigned Enduro battery with 10% more capacity, extending runtimes and improving performance in all weather conditions.

Another key innovation is the Snap and Go Magnetic Latch Mounting system, allowing users to quickly switch between mounts for various shooting angles and environments.

In addition to hardware improvements, HERO13 Black introduces faster WiFi 6 technology, providing up to 40% quicker content transfer speeds.

The camera also supports Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR video for professional-grade color accuracy, and customisable audio settings for more dynamic sound recording.

Compact and rugged HERO: GoPro’s simplest 4K Camera

For users seeking a lightweight and durable option, the HERO offers the ideal balance of simplicity and performance.

Weighing only 86 grams, the HERO is GoPro’s smallest and lightest 4K camera yet, designed to withstand the elements with waterproof capabilities up to 16 feet (5 meters).

The HERO’s intuitive touch screen and one-button control make it easy for users to capture stunning 4K video and HD 1080p footage.

Featuring GoPro’s signature HyperSmooth video stabilisation, the camera ensures smooth footage, even in challenging environments.

Woodman explains, “The HERO is perfect for new and experienced users alike, with a rugged, ultralight design that delivers impressive 4K image quality.”

Preorders for the HERO start at RM999, with global retail availability beginning on September 22.

GoPro is also launching a range of accessories to accompany the HERO13 Black, including the innovative HB-Series Lenses.

These lenses are designed to enhance creative possibilities, such as the Ultra Wide Lens Mod, which provides a 177° field of view and 360° Horizon Lock for flawless stabilisation.

The HB-Series Lenses, along with other accessories like the Magnetic Latch Mount (RM149) and Ball Joint Mount (RM229), are available for preorder on GoPro.com and select retailers in Malaysia, with shipping starting on September 10.

With the launch of the HERO13 Black and the compact HERO, GoPro continues to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
