GoPro Set To Launch Two New Cameras, Including Hero 13 Black
The latest version of the company’s flagship action camera will be revealed on September 4, along with a second, more compact device.
GoPro is preparing to unveil two new action cameras this year, with the launch date officially confirmed as September 4. One of the new models is expected to be the GoPro Hero 13 Black, while the other could be a smaller, more compact action camera.
A hands-on video of the Hero 13 Black has already surfaced online, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. GoPro also made an official announcement on X, stating that the launch event is scheduled for September 4 at 5:00 PM (Dubai Time). The teaser video released by the company hints at the design of both new cameras, though the model names haven’t been confirmed just yet.

Judging by the reveal, it’s likely that one of the models is indeed the GoPro Hero 13 Black, with the second camera possibly being a smaller “mini” model. This widespread assumption is also supported by a promotional banner on GoPro’s official website, which confirms the release of two new cameras.
Tipster Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News), known for his reliable tech leaks, shared a hands-on video showcasing the GoPro Hero 13 Black. The video highlights the camera’s screen and displays the “13 Black” label next to the sensor. Additionally, the right side of the camera features the power/mode button and “13 Black” branding.

Earlier reports have already indicated that the GoPro Hero 13 Black will likely retain the same camera and recording features as the Hero 12 Black. It’s expected to include a 27-megapixel sensor capable of recording in 5.3K and 4K at 60 and 120 FPS, respectively. The camera might also incorporate HyperSmooth 6.0 image stabilization and HDR capabilities, similar to its predecessor.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.
The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
