Additional Information
GoPro Hero 13 introduced new lenses that you can change with this year’s GoPro. It now has options like Macro, Ultrawide, ND Filters, and Anamorphic Lenses. These are all sold separately, but they provide flexibility for the GoPro to capture videos and pictures.
Another feature introduced with this year’s GoPro is its Contact Magnet Door, which offers continuous power. This accessory is sold separately.
We have only reviewed the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, but we will soon be reviewing the GoPro Hero 13 with the included lenses. Be sure to follow us on Facebook for updates, as we will be conducting a video and picture comparison between the DJI and GoPro once we have the opportunity to test the GoPro Hero 13.
