GoPro Hero 13 Black on sale: $310 for the camera, $349 bundle with extra batteries

One of the top Black Friday action‑cam deals is the GoPro Hero 13 Black, now ringing in at $310 — a notable discount on a camera we ranked among the best action cameras. If you want more battery life and accessories, a bundle that includes a 64GB microSD card, three Enduro batteries, a dual battery charger and a case is currently about $349.

The Hero 13 Black is GoPro’s most versatile Hero yet: it records up to 5.3K, supports 2× optical zoom with the new modular lens options, and benefits from a larger battery that delivers roughly 90 minutes of continuous 4K/30fps recording. The camera has a vivid full‑color front display, is waterproof to 10 meters (33 ft), and accepts microSD cards for storage.

Key specs

• Video: Up to 5.3K resolution and high‑frame‑rate options for slow motion.
• Zoom & lenses: 2× optical zoom available via modular optics; new modular lens family expands creative options.
• Battery life: Larger battery—about ~90 minutes at 4K/30fps (actual runtime varies by settings and conditions).
• Durability: Waterproof to 10 meters (33 ft) without an external housing.
• Storage: Uses microSD cards (no internal storage).

Bundle vs. base camera

The $349 bundle includes a 64GB microSD card, three batteries, a dual charger and a protective case — a smart buy if you shoot long sessions or want ready‑to‑go spares. The base camera at $310 is an excellent pick if you already have fast microSD cards and extra batteries or prefer to source accessories separately.

Who should buy

Photographers and creators who need a compact, rugged camera for action shots, travel and vlogging will find the Hero 13 Black compelling. The modular lens options and improved battery make it especially useful for longer shoots and varied shooting styles. If you need extended runtime and out‑of‑box convenience, the bundle adds clear value.

Buying tips

• Check the bundle contents carefully to ensure the included accessories match your needs (battery types, card capacity).
• Use a high‑quality microSD card (V30 or higher) for reliable 4K/5.3K recording.
• Compare prices across retailers — some bundles or retailer promotions may include additional mounts or subscriptions.
• Verify return policies and warranty coverage when buying during holiday sales.
