Following a string of leaks, GoPro has officially confirmed the launch date for its next generation of action cameras. A teaser video posted on the company’s X/Twitter account reveals September 4th as the big day for the unveiling of two new Hero models.
The confirmation comes alongside a leaked hands-on video from tipster Igor Bogdanov, giving us a good peek at the GoPro Hero 13 Black design.
The clip shows a front-mounted display with “13 BLACK” branding while the action cam has a familiar Power/Mode button next to the camera sensor and heatsink.
In terms of specs, leaks suggest the Hero 13 Black will retain the same 27MP sensor as its predecessor. The video recording capabilities will likely remain the same as well, with 5.3K at 60 FPS and 4K at 120 FPS. It’s also expected to carry over HyperSmooth 6.0 image stabilization and HDR features from the Hero 12 Black.
The biggest upgrade this year seems to be a larger 1,900 mAh battery that will replace the 1,720 mAh unit on the Hero 12 Black. Additionally, GoPro will likely expand its action cam accessory range with a macro and an ultra-wide lens attachment alongside a Floaty accessory and a protective sleeve.
The second GoPro camera remains shrouded in more mystery. It could likely be a successor to the GoPro 11 Mini, and rumors suggest it will offer HyperSmooth stabilization and slow-motion video recording.
With the official launch date just two days away, we’ll soon have detailed information about both Hero action cams. But whether September 4th is the actual release or just an unveiling remains to be seen.
