◆1: Ultra-wide-angle lens mod
The 'Ultra Wide Angle Lens Mod', 'Macro Lens Mod' and 'Smart Motion Blur ND Filter' look like this. The three lenses are part of a series called 'HB Series Lenses', and when you attach each lens to the GoPro HERO13 Black, it automatically switches to the settings that match the lens.
First, try attaching the ultra-wide-angle lens mod.
Remove the lens that comes standard with the GoPro HERO13 Black by pulling it upwards and turning it counterclockwise.
This is what it looks like with the lens removed.
Next, screw the ultra-wide-angle lens mod in clockwise.
The lens replacement is now complete.
When you attach an ultra-wide-angle lens mod to a GoPro HERO13 Black, 'Ultra Wide' will be displayed at the top of the screen and various settings will switch to those for the ultra-wide-angle lens mod.
The ultra-wide-angle lens mod expands the field of view by 36%. The widest field of view setting is 'Ultra HyperView (12mm)'.
Below is a video taken with a GoPro HERO13 Black equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens mod, with the resolution set to '4K', the frame rate set to '30fps', the angle of view set to 'Ultra HyperView (12mm)', and the image stabilization set to 'On'. The video was taken from a first-person perspective of a person slowly pedaling a bicycle, but because the angle of view was wide and the scenery in the periphery changed quickly, the video had a sense of speed.
◆2: Macro lens mod
Next, attach the macro lens mod and shoot a video.
This is what it looks like when you attach a macro lens mod to the GoPro HERO13 Black.
The macro lens mod is equipped with a focus ring that allows you to adjust the focus range from 11cm to 75cm.
Below is a video taken with a GoPro HERO13 Black equipped with a macro lens mod, with the resolution set to '4K', the frame rate set to '30fps', the angle of view set to 'wide angle', and the image stabilization set to 'on'. I moved the camera just above the ground to shoot in a 'first-person perspective of a dwarf'.
◆3: Smart Motion Blur ND Filter
The Smart Motion Blur ND Filter is a set of four filters: ND4, ND8, ND16, and ND32. By replacing the standard lens with these filters, you can increase the exposure time and create motion blur. The higher the number, the stronger the motion blur effect.
I attached an ND32 filter to the GoPro HERO13 Black.
The filter type is displayed at the top of the screen.
I attached an ND32 filter to the GoPro HERO13 Black and shot a video with the resolution set to '4K', the frame rate set to '30fps', the angle of view set to 'wide angle', and the image stabilization set to 'on'. The exposure settings are automatically set according to the type of filter attached.
Below is an image of a part of the video. If you click on the image to see the full-sized image, you can clearly see that 'the road and lane dividers are completely still, while the moving cars have motion blur.'
The prices of the various lenses at the GoPro official online store are 16,800 yen (tax included) for the ultra-wide-angle lens mod, 21,800 yen (tax included) for the macro lens mod, and 12,100 yen (tax included) for the Smart Motion Blur ND Filter 4-pack.
