GoPro Hero 13 Black review: The ultimate action camera for your travel adventures
What is the GoPro Hero 13 Black?
Designed to capture life's most thrilling moments, the Hero 13 Black is GoPro's latest flagship action camera. Compact, durable and brimming with creative features, the Hero 13 Black is positioned as a take-anywhere camera designed to appeal to content creators, adrenaline junkies, holiday makers and just about everyone in between.
It offers video recording up to a 5,312 x 4,648 (5.3K) resolution at 60fps, alongside dedicated time-lapse, slow-motion and photography modes. Crucially, it benefits from GoPro's much-acclaimed Hypersmooth 6.0 stabilisation, ensuring even the wildest activities yield cinema-smooth results.
Like all GoPro action cams, the Hero 13 Black is compatible with a vast range of accessories and mounts, allowing it to adapt to almost any activity and creative shooting style. Building on the solid foundation of the Hero 12, the Hero 13 Black introduces support for GoPro's all-new range of HB Lenses (swappable lens filters), adds new magnetic mounting options and includes a new, high-capacity Enduro battery for a longer battery life. Additionally, the Hero 13 Black sees the welcome return of GPS, enhanced by Wi-Fi 6 support and a new 10-bit HLG HDR recording option – more on what this means, later.

Santander latest bank to ponder stablecoin play
Bank interest in stablecoins continues to gather momentum, with Santander now reportedly looking into launching its own offering. 0 This content has been selected, created and edited by the Finextra editorial team based upon its relevance and interest to our community. Stripe president John Collison told Bloomberg last week that in talks with the payments giant, banks are "very interested" in using stablecoins. 'This is not something that banks are just kind of brushing away or treating as a fad. Banks are very interested in how they should be integrated with stablecoins into their product offerings as well,' says Collison. Having avoided crypto for years, Stripe recently began letting merchants accept stablecoins for online payments and paid $1.1 billion for stablecoin platform Bridge. Recently it emerged that US giants JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo have held discussions on potentially launching a stablecoin that will improve transaction speeds whilst managing competition from encroaching crypto firms. Now, Bloomberg reports that Santander's Openbank unit has applied for Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licenses in Europe to offer a stablecoin and to give its retail customers access to crypto. The bank is considering launching its own euro- or dollar-denominated stablecoin or offering access to an existing one. However, the plan is still at the preliminary stages.

Robotics firm raises $60 million to scale up wind turbine repairs
LONDON, June 3 (Reuters) - Latvian tech company Aerones, which counts GE and Enel among its customers, has raised $62 million to fund a global roll out of robots and other AI-enabled solutions to protect and maintain thousands of wind turbines in over 30 countries, its CEO told Reuters. Wind power accounts for almost 10% of the world's energy generation and is growing rapidly but the majority of turbines are still maintained by hand, causing days-long blackout periods which cost energy companies and turbine operators huge sums. Aerones' robots can maintain and service vast wind-turbine blades in a minimum of half the time it takes for humans to do so, providing an efficient, safe and cost-effective solution for growth, its co-founder and CEO Dainis Kruze said. "The industry is scaling really fast and maintenance is tough," he said. "The wind turbine downtime costs more than the labour itself and that bottleneck is driving up the cost of renewable energy." "We don't wait until the blade is already on the ground but work out how to prevent that blade from falling to the ground," he said. The equity funding round was led by U.S. investors Activate Capital and S2G Investments. Aerones is also backed by a 4 million euro grant from the EU Innovation Fund and an additional 30 million euro funding round in 2023. Aerones is scaling rapidly in United States so it was important to bring on U.S. partners this time, Kruze said. The firm last year opened an office in Dallas, Texas and is hiring and training local people. The company plans to return to the market to raise around $15 million to $20 million of venture debt later this year, Kruze said. Since 2020, Aerones has enabled nearly 400,000 MWh of additional clean electricity and helped avoid 165,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, the company said in a statement.
