• 0:00 | this is the brand new GoPro Hero 13
• 0:02 | black and I’ve been putting it through
• 0:03 | its Paces over the last little while
• 0:05 | across a wide range of activities to
• 0:07 | figure out where it works really well
• 0:09 | and where it still Falls a little bit
• 0:11 | short because in many ways it’s as if
• 0:13 | GoPro looked at the entire like GoPro
• 0:15 | video photo kind of geekery crowd like
• 0:17 | myself and said hold my beer there is a
• 0:20 | lot of really fascinating features here
• 0:22 | and arguably I would say even one of the
• 0:24 | biggest changes in the GoPro lineup in
• 0:26 | many many years and of course as always
• 0:28 | this video is not sponsored I’m going to
• 0:30 | how it like it is both the good and as I
• 0:31 | mentioned the things that frankly still
• 0:33 | suck so with that number one is the
• 0:35 | price the price remains 399 bucks the
• 0:37 | same as it was in the past there is
• 0:39 | however a new $199 camera the GoPro Hero
• 0:42 | a refresh version of that I’ll have a
• 0:44 | separate viiew on that down the road
• 0:46 | it’s not quite like available yet so
• 0:47 | I’ve got my notes here cuz we got a lot
• 0:49 | to go through let’s get to the first
• 0:50 | technical like win if you will based on
• 0:52 | everyone complaining last year GoPro
• 0:54 | brought back GPS into the hero 13 black
• 0:57 | you remember last year with the hero 12
• 0:59 | they took it out in about the exact same
• 1:01 | time DJI in 360 put in like secondary
• 1:04 | remote controls accessories that you
• 1:05 | could buy uh now it’s back built into
• 1:07 | the camera versus those ones have
• 1:09 | accessories the idea behind GPS that you
• 1:11 | can do overlays of data onto your videos
• 1:13 | and see how fast you’re going and stuff
• 1:14 | like that and it works fine that said I
• 1:17 | would argue insta 360s implementation
• 1:19 | where they can pull data from a Garmin
• 1:20 | watch or an Apple Watch natively
• 1:22 | straight into that including like
• 1:24 | cycling power and running metrics and
• 1:25 | all that kind of stuff is the direction
• 1:27 | I really want to see GoPro go but at the
• 1:29 | same time it’s cool you don’t have to
• 1:30 | buy an accessory cuz it’s built right
• 1:32 | into the camera now let’s talk about
• 1:34 | those accessories cuz those are the
• 1:36 | headline feature of the hero 13 black
• 1:39 | and it is I’ll give them credit it’s
• 1:40 | pretty cool I’m not usually like a big
• 1:42 | accessory dude but this is cool so
• 1:44 | basically there’s a whole bunch of new
• 1:45 | accessories called their HB series
• 1:47 | accessories these are accessories lenses
• 1:49 | that basically pop on the front kind of
• 1:51 | an extension of their mod series they’ve
• 1:53 | had for a while like they’ve had their
• 1:54 | lens mod and the display mod and other
• 1:57 | mods same concept here but they snap on
• 1:59 | the front and the key difference between
• 2:01 | This and like the previous lens mod is
• 2:03 | there smarts there or basically
• 2:05 | recognition that when that lens is
• 2:06 | snapped on the front the GoPro knows
• 2:08 | exactly which lens is on there and
• 2:10 | adjust settings accordingly so the very
• 2:12 | first notable lens is the macro lens uh
• 2:14 | in this I’ve been getting some amazing
• 2:16 | shots and I’m not a super creative
• 2:18 | person in the grand scheme of things and
• 2:19 | as you can see with some of these shots
• 2:21 | it’s really a blend of stupidity like
• 2:22 | putting it that close to my bike rear
• 2:24 | derailer as I’m cruising along at speed
• 2:27 | as well as just like hoping it works out
• 2:28 | this new macro lens Focus down to 4 in
• 2:31 | away from the object or 11 cm in fact it
• 2:33 | actually has a focusing ring on it so
• 2:35 | you can adjust that manually to go ahead
• 2:37 | and get the exact Focus that you want
• 2:38 | okay just a really simple example you
• 2:40 | can see the macro lens to detect the top
• 2:42 | there I’ve got the macro up here and
• 2:43 | right now I’ve got it all the way to the
• 2:44 | flower there and if you look at the
• 2:46 | display what you’ll notice here in the
• 2:48 | back uh might tap it open so it doesn’t
• 2:50 | go to sleep there is that there’s
• 2:51 | basically pink on the edges right there
• 2:52 | meaning that’s in Focus as I rotate it
• 2:54 | this way you’ll see now there’s pink on
• 2:56 | the back of the boat with the deck
• 2:57 | indicating that’s in Focus I can just
• 2:59 | simply rotate it back again the only
• 3:01 | thing I don’t like though is I wish
• 3:02 | there was a little marker there so I can
• 3:03 | see very clearly where I am on this ring
• 3:06 | when I just look down at a glance from
• 3:07 | kind of far away but I can solve that
• 3:09 | with some white out so the next lens in
• 3:11 | the HB series is essentially a revamped
• 3:13 | Max lens mod except now it’s called the
• 3:15 | ultra wide lens mod and of course
• 3:16 | physically speaking it’s nearly
• 3:18 | identical it still has 177° field of
• 3:20 | view so it’s got that Ultra wide view
• 3:22 | but it’s got three new modes in it uh
• 3:24 | the first one is a new one by one
• 3:26 | shooting mode one by one shooting modes
• 3:28 | aren’t really new in the action cam
• 3:29 | World other companies been doing it for
• 3:31 | a long time it’s good to see GoPro join
• 3:33 | in on this so this is the example of the
• 3:35 | uncropped 1 by one aspect ratio but I
• 3:37 | can crop that into something like the
• 3:38 | 16×9 more of a horizontal layout or you
• 3:41 | can go to Vertical like this for
• 3:42 | Instagram or Tik Tok Etc or I can go
• 3:45 | back again to the uncropped 1 by one and
• 3:47 | just simply crop it however I see fit or
• 3:49 | just use that as is here’s just a a
• 3:51 | picture from GoPro showing how you can
• 3:52 | then reframe that one by one into
• 3:54 | horizontal and vertical and any which
• 3:56 | way you want but they have two new modes
• 3:58 | as well with the ultra lens mod the
• 4:00 | first one is ultra superview and the
• 4:02 | second one is ultra hyperview here’s the
• 4:04 | same little section I did one after
• 4:05 | another showing the difference there and
• 4:07 | the core difference between them is how
• 4:09 | GoPro stretches that image as always
• 4:11 | with hyperview that wider one it’s going
• 4:13 | to depend on what shot you want some
• 4:15 | shots look great that way and some shots
• 4:16 | just frankly suck that way but of course
• 4:18 | that’s like the cool part of Photography
• 4:20 | is finding out where things work and
• 4:21 | where things don’t and then nailing it
• 4:23 | now both of those two modes also work
• 4:25 | with the existing Max lens mod on the
• 4:27 | GoPro Hero 13 black in fact all of the
• 4:30 | existing mods if you had a hero 12 or 11
• 4:32 | mod they still work with the hero 13
• 4:34 | just fine and dandy uh the only
• 4:36 | difference though is it’s not going to
• 4:37 | automatically recognize that lens when
• 4:39 | you snap it on speaking of which let me
• 4:40 | just show you how that works to put that
• 4:42 | lens on you see the little blue circle
• 4:44 | there you just align the circles you
• 4:45 | snap it on it’s really that
• 4:47 | straightforward and then instantly on
• 4:48 | the camera it says yo here’s the exact
• 4:50 | lens that you put on there but it gets
• 4:52 | even more interesting with the new ND
• 4:53 | filter set now if you know me in my
• 4:55 | reviews whether it’s drone reviews and
• 4:57 | action camera reviews my general here on
• 5:00 | ND filters is they make most people’s
• 5:02 | videos worse because they’re really
• 5:04 | complex to get just right if you know
• 5:06 | what you’re doing and you really know
• 5:07 | what you’re doing then yes they can be
• 5:08 | amazing the vast majority of people they
• 5:11 | just screw it up this seems to solve
• 5:13 | that because of the fact that the camera
• 5:15 | knows exactly which ND filter it puts on
• 5:17 | there uh once it snaps on it’ll
• 5:19 | automatically look at the light and tell
• 5:20 | you whether or not that ND filter is
• 5:22 | appropriate or not and whether or not to
• 5:23 | change it for a higher or lower density
• 5:25 | filter that’s super cool now the whole
• 5:28 | point of ND filters in this context is
• 5:30 | mostly introducing motion blur rather
• 5:32 | than anything else and again it tells
• 5:34 | you how to do that obviously people use
• 5:35 | ND filters for a wide variety of things
• 5:37 | but in this context it’s introducing
• 5:39 | that motion blur and in fact there’s
• 5:40 | actually an automatic tuning setting for
• 5:42 | exactly this and you can change which
• 5:44 | settings you want the last of the new H
• 5:46 | series lens is a new anamorphic lens now
• 5:48 | fortunately this one is not available
• 5:50 | now it’s available sometime in 2025
• 5:52 | which seems like a pretty broad range to
• 5:54 | me um but it looks cool but of course
• 5:57 | the idea behind an anamorphic lens is
• 5:58 | really to go ahead and give that
• 5:59 | cinematic look to it and doesn’t that in
• 6:01 | a couple different ways one is it
• 6:02 | introduces those lens flatters and then
• 6:04 | through the lens itself it’s essentially
• 6:06 | stretching the image on to two different
• 6:07 | resolutions again I haven’t touched this
• 6:09 | lens nobody has it’s not coming till
• 6:11 | sometime next year um but the price does
• 6:13 | seem reasonable if you know the prices
• 6:15 | of anamorphic lenses like the pro suumer
• 6:17 | versions of anamorphic lenses anyways
• 6:18 | this is actually a pretty reasonable
• 6:20 | deal now let’s talk about something
• 6:21 | that’s not an accessory based thing
• 6:23 | something that just comes in the camera
• 6:24 | which is three new slow-mo modes but in
• 6:26 | particular three new burst slow-mo modes
• 6:29 | so the these are basically offered three
• 6:30 | different resolutions in different
• 6:32 | durations think of them very similar to
• 6:34 | a burst photo except they’re full
• 6:35 | resolution videos and then they had
• 6:37 | different frame rates assigned to them
• 6:39 | this allows you get up to 120 frames per
• 6:40 | second in 5.3k which in the past it was
• 6:43 | limited to 4K there all be for only 5
• 6:46 | seconds but keep in mind you can blend
• 6:47 | that with a timer on this like a 3 or
• 6:49 | 10sec timer as well as voice command so
• 6:52 | when you’re ready to do the epic thing
• 6:54 | you just tell your GoPro that you’re
• 6:55 | ready to do that and then you have a
• 6:56 | timer or don’t and then you do that and
• 6:58 | 5 Seconds you know would have loved more
• 7:00 | time than that but yeah it works for
• 7:02 | most of the things I wanted if you do
• 7:04 | want more time you can step down the
• 7:05 | resolution though to one of the other
• 7:07 | two options and then get even more
• 7:08 | frames per second uh but again you have
• 7:11 | lower resolution and again like I said
• 7:12 | earlier I don’t have a ton of creativity
• 7:14 | internally so um I’m just giving you
• 7:16 | cannibal that’s that’s all I got folks
• 7:18 | wondering whether or not there’s a
• 7:19 | different chipset in there or something
• 7:21 | like that gopress says you’re using the
• 7:23 | same gp2 chipset they’ve had for a few
• 7:25 | years now and the same camera sensor and
• 7:27 | all that kind of stuff which then some
• 7:28 | of you photo Geeks and whatnot like
• 7:30 | myself would be like well when do we get
• 7:32 | a new sensor when do we get a bigger
• 7:33 | sensor and things like that and we don’t
• 7:35 | know the answer to that yet but I would
• 7:36 | remind you of one thing that I mentioned
• 7:38 | in all my action camera reviews which is
• 7:40 | that sensor size is only one small piece
• 7:42 | of the entire Imaging pipeline puzzle
• 7:45 | we’ve seen this time after time whether
• 7:47 | we have onein sensors or small sensors
• 7:49 | what matters far more in an action
• 7:51 | camera is all the other pieces there
• 7:52 | from video stabilization to the
• 7:54 | processing Etc you can have a really big
• 7:56 | sensor but crap stabilization and
• 7:58 | everything else and it’s better to have
• 7:59 | a smaller sensor with better
• 8:01 | stabilization so I’ve included some
• 8:02 | different kind of samples side by side
• 8:03 | of different cameras doing different
• 8:05 | things to show you what that looks like
• 8:06 | in again different lighting conditions
• 8:08 | uh in night is probably where you notice
• 8:10 | the biggest difference between the GoPro
• 8:11 | and its smaller sensor size compared to
• 8:13 | the insta 360 Ace Pro as well as a DJI
• 8:16 | action 4 however last year I did entire
• 8:18 | night comparison comparing the DJI
• 8:20 | action 4 with the uh hero 12 black at
• 8:22 | night basically showing side by side the
• 8:24 | differences there a lot of people like
• 8:25 | myself certainly like The Brighter Image
• 8:27 | of the DJI action 4 yeah a lot of other
• 8:30 | people also like myself found colors
• 8:32 | more true in the GoPro side and that’s
• 8:34 | all honestly the same here because those
• 8:36 | things haven’t really change any but at
• 8:38 | the same time my phone would beat both
• 8:40 | of those so yeah do what you want there
• 8:42 | now next up GoPro is a new mounting
• 8:44 | design that essentially like steals the
• 8:46 | best parts of everyone else’s mounting
• 8:48 | design now the good news first off to
• 8:50 | begin with is you still have the
• 8:51 | mounting fingers standard GoPro Mount
• 8:53 | like you’ve always had this is still the
• 8:54 | recommend amount if you’re doing
• 8:56 | highspeed High vibration activities like
• 8:58 | attaching it outside of a plane or
• 9:00 | outside of a a car or motorcycle with
• 9:02 | vibrations and things like that then the
• 9:03 | next piece is you got the tripod mount
• 9:05 | in the middle there a quarter 20 tripod
• 9:07 | mount however if you put the two flat
• 9:09 | like this just like that and you have
• 9:10 | the new GoPro magnetic Mount you can
• 9:12 | simply snap it in place like this as
• 9:14 | well as unclip it like this and some of
• 9:16 | you are like ah DJI had that for a
• 9:18 | couple years and so did in 360 and that
• 9:20 | is true except one core difference uh in
• 9:22 | the case of both of those cameras it
• 9:24 | only would allow orientation one way if
• 9:26 | you wouldn’t to turn it this way it
• 9:28 | wouldn’t work and on a thing like this
• 9:30 | it doesn’t really matter because it’s
• 9:32 | small and you can turn around but if you
• 9:33 | have various mounts on vehicles and
• 9:35 | stuff like that it’s kind of a pain in
• 9:36 | the butt now of course there is one more
• 9:38 | downside here this does increase what is
• 9:40 | effectively the stack height making it
• 9:41 | higher up which is why you can still
• 9:43 | again use those mounting fingers that
• 9:45 | said if you have a hero 12 there is a
• 9:47 | Mount I’ve been using for like a year
• 9:48 | now since last year I think it’s by
• 9:50 | lonzi and falam uh and that mount is
• 9:53 | essentially this exact thing in fact
• 9:54 | it’s so identical that I went to GoPro
• 9:56 | and I’m like are you partnering with
• 9:58 | them because this look awfully like
• 10:00 | pretty much identical to theirs and they
• 10:02 | said no it’s their own IP
• 10:04 | internally okay GoPro if you say
• 10:08 | so now you may have been noticing
• 10:10 | something on the side of my GoPro here
• 10:12 | which are these eight little dots uh for
• 10:14 | charging now this is a separate
• 10:16 | accessory door so this is not the stock
• 10:17 | door here’s a picture of the stock door
• 10:19 | this is a separate accessory door it
• 10:21 | allows you to charge the GoPro
• 10:22 | externally forever as long as you want
• 10:24 | and this housing door is fully
• 10:25 | waterproof so if you take it to the
• 10:27 | beach or something like that you don’t
• 10:28 | have to worry about killing your goer
• 10:30 | afterwards I’ve been loving the charging
• 10:31 | cable primarily for long runtime stuff
• 10:33 | like doing uh some of the night star
• 10:35 | stuff there where you just want to leave
• 10:36 | the camera out all night long uh
• 10:38 | connected to a USB battery pack and you
• 10:40 | don’t have to worry about it like it’s
• 10:41 | it’s awesome now of course by now some
• 10:43 | of you are wondering with all these cool
• 10:44 | changes does it break compatibility with
• 10:46 | existing accessories and the answer is
• 10:48 | no everything across the board is
• 10:50 | compatible so for example I went diving
• 10:52 | right here I took the hero 13 put in the
• 10:54 | hero 12 case and it’s perfectly fine and
• 10:57 | the reason is the exterior shell of this
• 10:59 | is identical to the past so it’s totally
• 11:01 | compatible across the board if you want
• 11:03 | to put existing lenses on this that
• 11:05 | works fine there’s no problems with any
• 11:06 | of that that also goes for the medium
• 11:08 | mod the display mod the little light mod
• 11:09 | on top all that stuff is all totally
• 11:11 | compatible however the new HP series
• 11:13 | lenses for the hero 13 do not work on
• 11:16 | the hero 12 and prior there’s like a
• 11:18 | little bit of metal there on the lens
• 11:20 | attachment point that blocks it from
• 11:22 | rotating in like you think you’re going
• 11:23 | to get there and then you’re like oh it
• 11:24 | doesn’t doesn’t work now speaking about
• 11:27 | compatibility there’s some expansions
• 11:28 | there not
• 11:29 | this camera is compatible with this
• 11:31 | microphone here the DJI mic 2 uh so
• 11:35 | GoPro has basically expanded out some of
• 11:36 | their Bluetooth spec compatibility to
• 11:38 | make it so it now pairs with the mic 2
• 11:40 | in Bluetooth mode allowing me to go
• 11:42 | ahead and have direct from the DJI Mike
• 11:44 | 2 into the camera which is how I use it
• 11:46 | I use it with the lav right there so you
• 11:48 | can just sounds a little bit better but
• 11:50 | uh otherwise it’s basically good to go
• 11:51 | across the board in fact you can even
• 11:53 | see the mic volume on the screen just
• 11:54 | like you would have with the media mod
• 11:56 | now here’s a great example of the DJI
• 11:57 | mic connected to the GoPro Hero 13 black
• 12:00 | using Bluetooth I’m out on the fery
• 12:02 | booat deck the wind is kind of moving
• 12:03 | past me pretty quickly right now and I
• 12:05 | have a lab mic on connected to the DJI
• 12:07 | mic like I always do for all of my stuff
• 12:09 | and it sounds probably really really
• 12:10 | good to you despite the fact that I’m
• 12:12 | like 10 ft away from the camera right
• 12:14 | now so there’s no way you’d be able to
• 12:15 | hear me otherwise just to demonstrate
• 12:17 | that I’m going to turn off the mic and
• 12:19 | now I’m thinking of the exact same I’m
• 12:21 | the microphone off you can see there’s
• 12:22 | nothing on right now you can hear what
• 12:23 | it sounds like this far away now the
• 12:25 | next new item is if you look at the
• 12:26 | front of the camera you’re going to
• 12:27 | notice this little kind of great there
• 12:29 | that is a new heat sink to go ahead and
• 12:31 | reduce overheating potential uh in fact
• 12:34 | GoPro this year around actually has an
• 12:35 | entire chart they included the Media Kit
• 12:37 | you can see it right here that shows you
• 12:39 | the differences from an overheating
• 12:40 | standpoint for those not familiar with
• 12:42 | the entire overheating debacle it’s like
• 12:45 | YouTuber like catnip um there is nothing
• 12:47 | that YouTubers in the action camera
• 12:49 | space love more than to put like a
• 12:50 | YouTube face on and be concerned about
• 12:53 | overheating on an action camera and the
• 12:55 | reality is that every action camera
• 12:57 | today in the last few years as long as
• 12:58 | you air flow in other words air moving
• 13:00 | over the camera it’s not going to
• 13:02 | overheat in virtually any mode like all
• 13:04 | of them are really good even to like 100
• 13:06 | plus degrees fahren it’s great where
• 13:08 | it’s problematic though is so-called low
• 13:10 | air flow or no air flow scenarios those
• 13:13 | are things like mounting inside a car
• 13:14 | dashboard uh filming a basketball game
• 13:17 | outside in the heat in the sun um
• 13:19 | putting it on a boat where there’s no
• 13:20 | wind whatsoever and you’re filming
• 13:22 | yourself for hours that is the problem
• 13:24 | for most action cameras and so I’ve been
• 13:26 | testing gopro’s claims in this area and
• 13:28 | I’ll be honest
• 13:29 | I’m impressed GoPro has won every single
• 13:32 | overheating test I’ve done on the hero
• 13:34 | 13 black with equivalent settings on
• 13:36 | both beating DJI and beating in 360
• 13:39 | before it overheats and the cool part is
• 13:41 | that all these cameras now will tell you
• 13:43 | when it overheats in the case of both
• 13:45 | GoPro as well as inst 360 when it
• 13:47 | overheats it’ll tell you right then and
• 13:49 | there and it’ll also tell you after you
• 13:50 | turn the camer rack on again in case you
• 13:52 | missed it the first time around either
• 13:53 | way the numbers are looking really good
• 13:54 | at this point in time by far the best
• 13:56 | I’ve ever seen from GoPro compared to
• 13:58 | any other past action cameras however
• 14:00 | the thing that’s not looking super great
• 14:02 | is this stat right here showing how many
• 14:04 | of you are actually subscribed to the
• 14:06 | channel it’s a kind of a low number like
• 14:08 | it’s not a great number the grand scheme
• 14:09 | of things if you were to hit subscribe
• 14:11 | it’d be awesome or just honestly watch
• 14:13 | the video to the end that’s a Thing
• 14:14 | YouTube cares about the most the other
• 14:16 | thing people are probably going to care
• 14:17 | about is the new Enduro battery with the
• 14:19 | GoPro so for the first time in a number
• 14:21 | of years GoPro has changed the battery
• 14:23 | on the hero 13 black it’s no longer
• 14:25 | compatible with previous batteries it is
• 14:27 | now a bigger battery which has longer
• 14:29 | runtimes it’s frankly as simple as that
• 14:31 | here’s the chart comparing the run times
• 14:33 | side by side to the past and I’m seeing
• 14:35 | those results in my testing as well like
• 14:37 | I’ve kind of handpicked a few different
• 14:38 | ones just to to test out again with air
• 14:40 | flow in these cases cuz those are air
• 14:42 | flow uh battery tests versus the
• 14:43 | previous ones are no air flow uh and
• 14:45 | yeah they’re they’re holding water there
• 14:47 | in fact that gets the next item which is
• 14:48 | that the battery now charges roughly
• 14:50 | twice as fast as the past which is good
• 14:53 | but remember earlier on I said there was
• 14:55 | some sucky things about the GoPro this
• 14:56 | is still one of them twice as fast as
• 14:58 | the past is still twice as slow as dji’s
• 15:01 | battery here’s a chart I made where I
• 15:03 | plotted the battery percentage over the
• 15:05 | course of the charge time uh for the
• 15:07 | GoPro in the case of the DJI action 4 it
• 15:10 | charges its battery to 80% in 20 minutes
• 15:14 | after 20 minutes the GoPro is barely at
• 15:16 | 40% with its fast charger or even less
• 15:18 | than that 30% without its fast charger
• 15:21 | that said one thing to keep in mind
• 15:22 | about the battery difference between
• 15:24 | GoPro and DJI in particular is around
• 15:27 | performance at colder temperatures
• 15:29 | that’s an area where if you were to take
• 15:30 | both a GoPro and a DJI action 4 and
• 15:32 | stick them in a freezer for a couple
• 15:33 | hours just like pretending you were
• 15:35 | outside skiing with on your helmet for a
• 15:36 | couple hours and then to press the start
• 15:38 | button the action FL from DJI won’t
• 15:41 | start it just simply won’t the GoPro
• 15:43 | will start that’s different battery
• 15:44 | design in there which may make up some
• 15:46 | of those differences nonetheless GoPro
• 15:49 | please just make the battery charge
• 15:50 | faster next up for those photo Geeks
• 15:52 | they’ve added hlg HDR video 10bit
• 15:54 | recording in RC 2100 color space with a
• 15:57 | wide colored gamut uh this is something
• 15:59 | that again they’re really targeting kind
• 16:00 | of more of the Cinematic Hollywood side
• 16:02 | of it where they’re going to use GoPros
• 16:03 | here and there which of course many TV
• 16:05 | and hallway Productions use GoPros and
• 16:07 | all sorts of scenarios and this just
• 16:09 | gives them a little bit more flexibility
• 16:10 | if you have no idea what I’m talking
• 16:12 | about don’t worry about it it’s just
• 16:13 | something you can turn on the settings
• 16:14 | there quick and easy now we got a few
• 16:16 | last quickies here but they’re not bad
• 16:18 | ones they’re just little things that
• 16:19 | people really wanted you can now
• 16:20 | customize the names of your presets you
• 16:22 | could customize them of the past but you
• 16:24 | couldn’t actually change the name to be
• 16:25 | whatever you want next up there’s a
• 16:26 | handy little change to how quick capture
• 16:28 | works quick shapur is when you have the
• 16:30 | camera off like this I press the button
• 16:32 | once a couple seconds later it turns on
• 16:34 | the camera there you go and immediately
• 16:35 | starts recording now if I were hit the
• 16:37 | stop button in the past it would shut
• 16:39 | off but now I have two options I can
• 16:40 | press record one more time it’s going to
• 16:42 | immediately start a brand new recording
• 16:43 | you’re like oh you know what I actually
• 16:44 | want that to record after all you can do
• 16:46 | that I hit stop again this time I say
• 16:49 | you know what I don’t want it to turn
• 16:50 | off I just want it to go into a low
• 16:51 | power State hit the side mode button and
• 16:53 | you’re done next GoPro says they sped up
• 16:55 | the Wi-Fi transfer speeds by 40% by
• 16:57 | going to Wi-Fi 6 yeah it seems faster I
• 17:00 | guess um they also increased the weight
• 17:02 | slightly though of the camera from 154 G
• 17:05 | to 159 G you don’t notice that frankly
• 17:08 | at all uh and then last but not least
• 17:10 | they made it crash lest no literally
• 17:12 | that’s literally what they talked about
• 17:13 | in the media presentation they gave
• 17:15 | three numbers that were kind of
• 17:16 | interesting starting with the hero 12 so
• 17:18 | in the hero 12 GoPro never talked about
• 17:20 | this but in the hero 12 they basically
• 17:22 | refactor the entire C base from the
• 17:24 | ground up was their exact wording and
• 17:26 | with that they saw a reduction in
• 17:29 | tickets around crashes by 99% from the
• 17:32 | hero 12 compared to the previous cameras
• 17:34 | and they saw a 60% reduction in thermal
• 17:37 | shutdowns and a 67% reduction in camera
• 17:40 | freeze ups so camera free UPS can be
• 17:42 | lots of different things can often be
• 17:43 | the SD card but it can be a gazillion
• 17:45 | other things so GoPro mentioned that
• 17:47 | because there’s been a year now since
• 17:48 | the hero 12 came out and they thought
• 17:49 | that was a good time to like the proof
• 17:51 | is in the pudding sort of thing because
• 17:52 | obviously plenty of people have
• 17:54 | complained about GoPro crashes and all
• 17:55 | sorts different scenarios and this was
• 17:57 | their proof of that put and they said in
• 17:59 | the hero 13 they step it even down even
• 18:01 | further to try to reduce those last
• 18:03 | remaining chunks again the proof will be
• 18:05 | in a pudding a year from now or
• 18:06 | something like that okay so there you go
• 18:08 | your entire look at all the new features
• 18:10 | on this camera where they work well and
• 18:11 | where they don’t I’ve got a complete
• 18:13 | beginners guide coming up over the next
• 18:14 | couple days That’ll Walk Through how to
• 18:16 | use this camera from start to finish so
• 18:18 | if you’re new to a GoPro or if you’re
• 18:20 | just a long-term GoPro user I’m going to
• 18:22 | talk about all the cool little features
• 18:23 | and how they actually work in real life
• 18:25 | in a much much longer video so again hit
• 18:27 | subscribe so you see that as soon as it
• 18:29 | drops with that have a good one
