Comparison: GoPro HERO13 Black vs GoPro HERO (2024)
This article compares the shooting performance and body specifications of the GoPro HERO13 Black and HERO (2024), both released in 2024.
Key Factors
- Significant Difference in Shooting Quality
HERO (2024) lacks support for 5K, which shows a large performance gap.
- Major Differences in Body Features
HERO13 Black includes a magnetic mount, charging port, front display, and a built-in battery, which HERO (2024) does not.
- Differences in Shooting Functions
HERO13 Black offers a wide range of professional features, while HERO (2024) only includes basic functions.
Significant Differences in Video Quality
The HERO13 Black boasts top-tier video quality in 2024, with the newly added "400FPS slow motion" feature. In contrast, the HERO (2024) maxes out at 4K/30fps, with lower FPS settings for other resolutions, resulting in a noticeable difference in video quality.
If you're only capturing casual travel videos or general footage, the HERO (2024) is sufficient. However, if you're looking to film high-quality action scenes, the HERO13 Black is the better choice.
Major Differences in Body Design and Functionality
The GoPro HERO13 Black introduces two key upgrades to its body design since the HERO9 series, which was the last major design overhaul when the front display became color:
- Interchangeable lenses
- Magnetic charging port and mount
Though released in the same generation, the HERO (2024) has an entirely different body design, lacking these features. Compared to earlier models like the HERO12 Black, the HERO (2024) also has:
- No front display
- A built-in, non-removable battery
As a result, the HERO (2024) is more compact and lightweight, weighing only 86g, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize portability and ease of use.
Different Shooting Features
Beyond the difference in video quality, the HERO (2024) also omits several key shooting features, including:
- Loop recording
- 10-bit color (GP-log)
- Live streaming
Additionally, while the HERO13 Black is equipped with the advanced "HyperSmooth 6.0" stabilization system, including horizon leveling, the HERO (2024) relies on GoPro's Quik app for post-production stabilization. While the Quik app offers robust stabilization, those who edit with other software will need to first apply the stabilization within the Quik app, adding an extra step to the process.
