HERO13 Black

The real answer you are looking for is the GoPro Hero 2024 (maybe it’s called the LIT Hero now) it’s super simple, cheap (compared to normal GoPro) shoots video, exports to phone/pc and is much lighter/smaller than the others. Edit: MAX2 is the best camera. Not best bang for buck.

Yes, I the Action 6 has a few upgrades from the Hero 11: * Depth rating of 20m without a case - Perfect for light swimming and snorkeling * GoPro footage often looks green underwater, the Action 6 has a sensor that delivers a more natural skin tone underwater. * Better heat management - My GoPros get hot. The Action 6 is more power efficient and doesn't have this problem. * That power efficiency results in a better battery life than the Hero 11 * Better Low-Light if you are visiting the caves of a Cenote, which I highly recommend! Have you considered the Hero 13? It does shoot in 5.3k, but only has a depth rating of 10m, half that of the Action 6. The Action 6 still beats the Hero 13 in battery life and low light performance. * [The Action 6 is $369 on Amazon](https://amzn.to/4a3kFNX) * [The GoPro Hero 13 is $399 on Amazon](https://amzn.to/4kjMhBP) As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualified purchases, and personally, I like the DJI products better overall. I really like the quick release magnetic system. The GoPros might have better lenses, but the ability to quickly attach and detach and superior battery life is a plus for me.

This. I just picked up the go pro hero 13 creators edition. I love it but low light sucks but since it came with a LED , I cant complain.

when i was choosing a camera, i was aware of it, so didn't want to waste time on color grading, and bought a gp13. in flat profile it gives natural image, just needs sometimes to bump contrast or adjust ev to +-0.5. thats all. tried log mode, but gopros supplied LUT on theit website is unusable. so manual grading - no thanks, i have got more interesting things to attend to.

if battery life is not a priority - definitely gopro 13

definitely not chinese noname shit (obviously) and not insta360 (a flip screen on a hinge on an action cam wtf) as an former owner of a hero 10 and now hero 13 i probably would go for a dji since \~70 mins of 4k@60fps-high bitrate-10bit-hypersmooth video is a joke.

dji - pros better in low light, better battery, overheats less in static than gopro cons - worse stabilization than gopro, less robust than gopro, permanent hdr which makes image less realistic (or use log mode with mandatory post postprocessing), not square sensor (models before 6), better wind noise reduction gopro 13 \-more durable, better image and Image stabilization, almost square sensor (8:7)since 11 cons - bad battery life, overheats without air flow, laggy and unresponsive interface, cant see anything in low light

Dont buy go pro ....horrible experience with a 4 month old hero 4k 2024 model and bogus customer care within warrenty. No wonder company is at a loss of $93 mil

GoPro hero 13. Best image quality of any action camera.  Max 2, fairly good image wuality for a 360 camera but comes with 360 video workflow which is very tasking in comparison.  If you dont need 360 camera, get a the GoPro 13.

Different cameras for different things. Battery life, low light, fast UI go with DJI. Overall video quality, skintones and stabilization go with GoPro.  As a pro user I choose GoPro over DJI but would recommend DJI for beginner not caring about the mentioned things. :)

I filmed my wedding with a couple gopros. They were 4s back in 2015. My only recommendation is don’t film a wedding using GoPros. But if you absolutely want to I bet the 13 with that anamorphic lens could get some good shots.

I’ve had the 11 and the 13. I would definitely recommend the 13.

I don’t do anything extreme. I like to use the GoPro to get unique angles. As well as using it by bodies of water. Underwater. Etc. I love it for timelapses. I love slapping it on my car on road trips. I use it to get great b footage for my home videos. I essentially have a private YouTube channel that just has my family movies on them so we can watch them on the TV and share with family directly. They are edited like YouTube videos. But I don’t need the audience. I have 2 GoPro 13’s and the plan is to buy myself a Max 2 for my self for my birthday. I love capturing as much as I can. I have a terrible memory. Capturing these moments helps me remember all the fun we have. Even if it’s just playing on the swing in the back yard.
