A GoPro Hero 13 Black can detect these first-party lenses, meaning Garmin retains control over the ecosystem. That’s what’s truly different this generation — the GoPro Hero 12 Black had a super-wide-angle MAX lens mod too, but there was no smart factor to it.

The new GoPro Hero is the action camera I've been waiting for and I'm putting my mouth where my mouth is and buying one!

When it comes to rugged reliability, the Osmo Action 5 Pro feels reassuringly well made. The camera itself is small, lightweight (145g) and sturdy, with few protruding parts and a removable, replaceable cover to help prevent damage to the surface of the lens.

GoPro Hero 13 Black is packed with changes from swappable lenses to a magnetic mount. It's a big year-over-year change, even if it features the same sensors.

On the inside, another excellent refinement of the GoPro formula. On the outside, potentially the future of action cameras.

The latest GoPro offers two styles of camera for different price points, both with the ability to swap lenses easily complete with custom settings.

DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro offers substantial updates, including better battery life, audio recording, and photo quality. The camera excels in video quality, stabilization, and build quality, but tops out at 4K video resolution.
