Key Takeaways
Battery life top-tier, often over 2 hours at 4K60 and up to 4 hours in 1080p tests.
1/1.3-inch sensor and SuperNight help low-light footage beat typical GoPro results in dim scenes.
RockSteady 3.0+ and HorizonSteady deliver smooth sports footage with 360° horizon lock where available.
Video tops out at 4K/120; GoPro Hero 13 and some Insta360 models offer higher max resolutions for cropping.
No interchangeable lens mods; Hero 13 macro/ultra-wide options remain a GoPro differentiator.
