GoPro To Launch Two New Action Cameras Belonging To Its HERO13 Black Lineup On September 4
A total of two action cameras have been teased by GoPro, with the company revealing that it will announce these HERO13 Black models on September 4. Following a series of leaks of the HERO12 Black that started picking up the pace in August last year, the camera maker is right on schedule to launch its successor in just a couple of days.

Where GoPro could make improvements is introducing better accessory compatibility to improve the image and video capturing experience.
