Explore the HB-Series Lenses
Don’t just stick to the standard lens! Experiment with the Ultra Wide Lens Mod for expansive POV shots, the Macro Lens Mod for incredibly detailed close-ups (focusing up to 4x closer), and the ND Filter 4-Pack to achieve cinematic motion blur in bright conditions. The automatic detection simplifies their use.
Maximize Battery Life
The larger 1900mAh Enduro battery and improved thermal design mean longer recording times. For extended shoots, especially in cold weather, ensure your battery is fully charged. Consider carrying spares, and utilize the new Contacto Magnetic Door and Power Cable Kit for continuous external power if needed.
Leverage HyperSmooth 6.0
Even in extreme action, trust HyperSmooth 6.0 to deliver incredibly stable footage. For the most demanding scenarios, consider mounting the camera securely to minimize unnecessary vibrations. Experiment with different HyperSmooth settings (e.g., AutoBoost) for optimal results.
Shoot in HLG HDR for Professional Grading
For filmmakers seeking maximum dynamic range and flexibility in post-production, shoot in the new HLG HDR video profile with 10-bit color and GP-Log encoding. This provides richer detail in highlights and shadows, allowing for more precise color correction and grading.
Get Creative with Burst Slo-Mo
The 400fps at 720p Burst Slo-Mo is excellent for capturing fleeting, high-impact moments in ultra-slow motion. Plan your shots to make the most of this short, super slow-motion burst for dramatic effect.
Streamline Workflow with Magnetic Mounting
The new Magnetic Latch Mount makes attaching and detaching the camera from various mounts incredibly fast. Utilize this for quick changes between setups (e.g., helmet to chest mount) to capture every moment.
Utilize GPS and Bluetooth Audio
Turn on GPS to automatically embed telemetry data into your videos, which can then be overlaid using the Quik app for dynamic infographics. Take advantage of Bluetooth audio support by connecting AirPods or other wireless mics for clear voice recording, especially for vlogging or interviews on the go.
Master Timecode Sync for Multi-Cam
If you’re using multiple HERO13 Black cameras, timecode sync is a game-changer for post-production. Synchronize your cameras in the Quik app before shooting to vastly simplify editing in software like Final Cut or Adobe Premiere.
Optimize for Social Media
With its 8:7 aspect ratio sensor, the HERO13 Black is versatile for cropping to various aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) without significant loss of resolution. Capture in Full Frame (8:7) and decide on your final output ratio in the Quik app later.
