GoPro HB-Series AEWAL-001
The auto-detecting Ultra Wide Lens Mod widens the HERO13 Black’s view to 177° and enables HyperSmooth stabilization up to 4K60. It records in a 1:1 aspect ratio for flexible post-production cropping to 16:9 or 9:16, and Horizon Lock keeps footage level through full 360° camera rotation behind a scratch-resistant, hydrophobic lens. Best for action videographers who need horizon-locked, wide-angle 4K60 POV footage that can be reframed for any platform.
