15:36 can you show the actual test? It's really hard to believe that a camera with better battery tech won’t turn on. I just watched a video by David Manning where every camera, including the Action 4, turned on fine after being in the freezer for a bit

Thanks a lot for the detailed review! Always appreciate your take on these things. It's crazy how action cameras keep getting better and offering more features. I went with the Action 4 last year, and I still think it's awesome. I mostly shoot while moving, so I don’t really need anything extra. The battery life has been great for me too, and it never overheated here in the US. From my experience, overheating tests don’t always match real world use. Plus, battery performance depends a lot on how long you’ve been using it. That infrared test you did looked pretty cool though 👍

Still struggling with low light. Buying a diving case to your phone seems like a better option.

The attention to detail is unmatched 🫳🎤

That Macro Lens is the primary reason that I'm nabbing the Hero 13 Black. Thanks for getting this out so fast. All of the other additions aren't that appealing to me. Too bad that lens won't work with the Hero 12 and others. I do like that the camera senses the lens when you put it on. AT 1080p they still stuck to 240fps so, unimproved. OOOhhhh, a heat-sink :) yes please! I like the distinctive change in battery contact location so I can grab one and know it's the right one by feel. Yes to fewer crashes and low overheat issues. I have a Hero10 black that just tanked on day, dead as dead can be. Thanks for this review, I needed more macro samples, but great overall. Ordered!

Can always rely on you for one of the most in depth and well covered reviews when it comes to the new GoPro! Great Job man!

I often think about the overheating issue with modern cameras. I think that the processing power is always pushed to the max, and the current cooling capabilities do not match (when static).
I wonder if gopro has starting throttling the bitrate as the camera heats up gradually. (even if the container file says it has a certain bitrate, it can be lower in reality, especially with VBR. A test to uncover this possibility would be interesting.

First (but by no means the last) GoPro videos 13 videos I watched. Quick, concise and to the point. Cheers 🙏

First of all: how cool is your T-shirt!!

I had given up at GoPro back at V.7.
Totally given up when the gps was taken away.
This version may bring me back to GoPro.
Thanks for your review. I look forward to your full tutorial.

[RedMushroom]

u nailed this review the most compressive review so far keep it up...been a gopro fan due to it's quality no one can beat gopro with that regardless of overheating issue for some

[nolankroha]

Always look to this guy for the newest releases on GoPro!

[Gamer-sqvc]

Still no bigger sensor? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[babar]

never saw a so detailed, pertinent and focused review ! kudos, you make great work !

[thecorporategypsy]

Very very good as always. My biggest complaint is I always feel like you are rushing while I am trying to absorb your superb summation of the performance of the item (I watch your drones and camera reviews mainly). Well done!

[BrewsGamesRides]

Really appreciate the camera vids. My gopro 7 black still runs but battery life is short. New Tarmac this year has me riding outdoors again and filming for fun and safety. Looking forward to this upgrade as the insta 360 is a bit to heavy and not easy to mount on aero bars. Cheers from Southern California 🍻

[WhiteTurtleDiver]

Your videos are always informative, thanks for what you do.

[davidtydeman]

Thanks for the but comprehensive update that doesn’t require a science degree to understand 👏👏👏

[outbackeddie]

Excellent review. I have no need for an action camera and I will never use one but after watching your video I want to buy this camera.

[DavisPlotnieks]

Fantastic review as always DC 🎉 some features you revealed are total gems 💎

[bikesbeersbeats]

I had my gopro overheat endlessly while recording races where the camera was mounted on my chest riding between 15-35 mph. I had to switch to a different brand and now this has never been an issue.
