The GoPro HERO13 Black is an action camera that is waterproof up to a depth of 10m. You can see the appearance of the GoPro HERO13 Black and a size comparison with previous models in the article below. This time, I took the GoPro HERO13 Black outdoors and tried shooting videos in a variety of situations.

◆ Check image stabilization performance
I attached the GoPro HERO13 Black to my chest using a chest mount harness and filmed my bicycle riding from a first-person perspective. The video examples in this article were shot with the resolution set to '4K,' the frame rate set to '30fps,' the angle of view set to 'wide-angle,' and image stabilization set to 'on.'

Below is an image cut out from a part of the video. If you click on the image to see the full-sized image, you can see that the leaves on the trees and the grass on the ground are depicted in detail without being painted over.
Next, I shot a first-person view of myself sprinting up and down a flight of stairs. It was a very shaky movement, but I was able to record it without any unpleasant shaking.
Below is a cropped image of a portion of the image. It is recorded clearly and without any blur.
◆ Underwater photography is also possible
The GoPro HERO13 Black is waterproof up to 10m, allowing you to capture video underwater.
Below is a video of a GoPro HERO13 Black actually being plunged into a river. Underwater shooting is possible without the need for a waterproof housing.

Check the shooting performance in dark places
I took the GoPro HERO13 Black outside at night and took a video of myself walking around with it in my hand. First, I walked along the 'road in front of the station, which is bright even at night' like the one below.
The video I shot looks like this. The brightness is about the same as with the naked eye, but the image is blurry overall.
Next, walk down a road lit by street lamps and building lights. It looks as dark as the following to the naked eye.
It appeared slightly darker than it appeared to the naked eye.
Finally, let's walk along a dark embankment with no light sources other than street lights. Here's what it looks like to the naked eye.
The results are below. The image appears much darker than it appears to the naked eye.

After shooting various videos with the GoPro HERO13 Black, we found that the image stabilization performance and shooting performance in dark places are almost the same as the previous generation model, the GoPro HERO12 Black . The GoPro HERO13 Black has a feature that the previous model does not have, 'the ability to attach HB series lenses,' so we will be publishing a review article verifying the effectiveness of the HB series lenses soon.
In addition, GoPro HERO13 Black is available on Amazon.co.jp and other sites, and a set that comes with one battery, one microSD card, and a side door with a charging port is priced at 69,800 yen including tax.
