GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition Drops to All-Time Low, Amazon Clears Out Its Best Action Camera
The Summer holidays will be here in no time, and whether you've got kids or not, now's the time to start planning all sorts of escapades. Whether you're going to the beach, camping, going out skating, or just about anything else, it's important to be able to capture all of the action, no matter what that action is. While a mobile phone is a great way to do this, if you want something that's built for it, then you'll want to get an action camera. See at Amazon There are a few brands out there that make reliable action cams, but the best of the bunch is GoPro. The company has just been doing it for so long that they've got it down to a fine art. Right now, you can get your hands on the GoPro Hero 13 Black Ultra Wide Edition with 27% off. That means it's just $350 right now, and that's an incredible price for a really impressive device. The GoPro Hero 13 Black Ultra Wide edition is one of the best cameras the company has ever made. The Ultra Wide part of things means that it has a field of view up to 177 degrees, which allows you to capture a lot more all at once. It also boasts 48% taller FOV than the standard Hero 13 Black, which means that even if you've already got one of these knocking about, this is going to be a substantial upgrade for those who want to get more action into every single shot. Of course, it still packs in all of the incredible features of the GoPro 13 Hero Black as well. That means you can capture images in 4K quality with 60 FPS, allowing you to get just about everything you could possibly want into your videos and pictures. It also has HyperSmooth Stabilization, which basically allows even those with shaky hands to capture professional-quality videos and images. It even makes it easy to capture vertical video as well, which is great if your main aim is to help up your TikTok or YouTube shorts game. There's a reason this camera normally sells for $480, and why people are happy to pay that to get all of this in one camera. So, being able to save 27% on this and get it for $350 is a chance that shouldn't be missed by anyone who loves capturing the most exciting moments of their life. Don't wait around though, as it's a limited-time deal. See at Amazon

GoPro's Anamorphic lens makes it easy to get stylish cinematic action shots
GoPro's Anamorphic lens mod is finally available to buy, completing the set of lenses the company teased when it announced its Hero 13 action cam. At the time, the most significant change to the latest edition of its best-selling camera was the ability to attach a selection of lenses and ND filters. Of all of them, I was most intrigued by the Anamorphic Lens Mod ($130), pitched as a lens for 'professional-level artistic filmmaking.' Just like the rest of GoPro's HB-Series lenses, it's easy to remove the Hero 13's base lens and replace it with the much thicker Anamorphic lens. (It also comes with front and rear caps to store it safely when not attached to the camera.) Given its size, it's worth noting that this could mean some of your third-party cases and accessories might not quite wrap around the body of the Hero 13 once the lens is attached. However, it didn't particularly affect the weight distribution when I mounted it on my tripod, but I was still wary about how exposed the front glass element is. Once locked in, the Hero 13 switches to the appropriate camera mode, maximizing settings and calibrating precisely to the lens. You still have latitude in video settings, though: You can capture video in 5.3K up to 60fps and 4K up to 120fps for slow-motion cinematic scenes. If you want to go to town, you can also record GP-Log in 10-bit and if you're buying a $130 accessory, you're probably wanting to eke out everything the Hero 13 is capable of. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Fortunately, this is GoPro, and the company made it very simple for even newbies to capture and share usable footage with its most unusual lens. The Hero 13 Black de-squeezes the footage while being captured, making for easier editing. (De-squeezing is correcting the oval-shaped distortion of your video footage caused by anamorphic lenses.) Not only does this streamline editing post-production — it's ready to share after you've finished recording — it also means the video preview on the Hero 13 shows it unfurled, making framing easier, too. The lens is also compatible with GoPro's electronic image stabilizing tech, HyperSmooth, although the company recommends combining it with a gimbal for even smoother footage. If you want full control, you can also shoot in standard lens mode and manually de-squeeze footage in post-production. And as it's a true anamorphic lens (and not just a very, very wide lens), it can capture lens flares, too, with that anamorphic streak that's become JJ Abrams' trademark. It helps make my footage look like it came from a cinematic video camera, not an action cam. Image by Mat Smith for Engadget The drawbacks are minor. As I mentioned earlier, I worry about damaging the lens, although it does have a hydrophobic, anti-reflective coating. Also, I found the most attractive opportunities for showing off those horizontal lens flares are usually shooting footage at night, or sunset. Unfortunately, the Hero 13 isn't the most capable low-light camera, meaning my efforts to capture cool cityscape traffic produced results that were a little too shadowy. For the best footage, broadly, I'd max out ISO at 800 and shoot in 10-bit mode to try and salvage as much detail as possible. The HB-series Anamorphic lens mod is available now for $130, while a $350 HB-Series Lens Collection bundle contains all three lenses and an ND Filter 4-Pack.
