The GoPro Hero13 Black Ultra Wide Edition Is Still Over 30% Off After Prime Day

Amazon Big Deal Days are over, but some deals are still active.

If you’re a content creator or love capturing your adventures (and the scenery that goes with them), a durable, high-quality action camera is essential for smooth, hands-free footage. Right now, the rugged and feature-packed GoPro Hero13 Black Ultra Wide Edition is 31% off for Prime members, bringing it down to its lowest price ever.

An upgrade from the Hero12 black, this model adds Wi-Fi 6 and a longer-lasting 1,900 mAh battery (up from 1,720 mAh), built-in GPS, an improved HDR profile, new slow-motion options, and a wider vertical field of view that will appeal to adventurers and vloggers alike. At 5.6 ounces, it’s compact enough to carry all day or mount on a vehicle, helmet, or even a pet. It has a sleek, minimalist appearance compared to its predecessor and a durable chassis that can withstand drops, bumps, or use underwater (up to 33 feet deep) without a case.

Compared to the standard Hero13, this model comes with an ultra-wide lens for a wider field of view. It has two LCD screens (a 1.4-inch front screen and a 2.3-inch rear touchscreen) with 5.3K video resolution and 27 MP sensor resolution. The rear screen can feel a little cramped, so using a selfie stick or tripod can make it easier to use, but you can also control settings from the Quik app or use simple voice commands. Although this camera received an Excellent rating from PCMag, the tester noted that the screen isn’t bright enough to eliminate glare on sunny days and struggles in low-light conditions. That said, the interface remains intuitive, with configurable presets for Video, Photo, and Time Lapse modes that make it easy to change color profiles, lens views, frame rates, and more.

It charges via USB-C, but has wireless features like built-in GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi 6 for smartphone pairing and wireless file transfers. It also connects to select wireless headphones and keeps audio separate from the built-in mic, allowing creators to mix ambient audio with narration during the editing process. One standout feature is GoPro’s HyperSmooth stabilization system, which makes handheld video footage look like it was shot on a motorized gimbal or Steadicam. It also launched alongside an updated accessory ecosystem, adding creative flexibility, but at an additional cost.

In the end, the GoPro Hero13 Black Ultra Wide Edition delivers impressive image quality, durability, and video clarity. Plus, its significant updates over its predecessor make it ideal for people who don’t own a GoPro or are used to an older model.
