Gopro Hero 13 en 15 characters

I just received an advertisement.

I suppose it is worthless.

Questions are:

  • Acquisition rate?
  • GPS? If GPS available, quality of GPS measurements?
  • Accuracy of time stamp? Still rounded at the second or milliseconds are also recorded? Is internal clock synchronized to GPS? Is it recording GPS coordinates when tacking picture or when finishing recording it on the SD?

GPS is back

Further to Gopro Hero 13 en 15 characters - #3 by filipc : https://gopro.com/en/be/shop/cameras/learn/hero13black/CHDHX-131-master.html?tab=tech-specs doesn’t list “GPS”? Although it may be available in one of the remote control modules.

From the info I can find online, 13 just seems like 12 plus minimal changes and readded GPS. Same sensor and processor, so only changes would be artificially locked behind software. I cannot find any info on how good the GPS actually is. I do not think it is dual band. From what I can tell, it’s the same “GPS9” as earlier 9+ models. It says 10 Hz in spec, but that seems to be a “lie” and interpolated. So it’s likely just as occasionally extremely horrible as before. I cannot see myself using it at its current state when dual-band GPS phones are so much better now.
