GoPro HERO13 Black is available at Mascom International for KSh 48,000, brand new and sealed, with 5.3K video at 60 frames per second, 27MP photos and HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization. Made by GoPro, this action camera is waterproof to 10 metres without a housing and runs on a 1900mAh Enduro battery. The GoPro HERO13 Black also carries built-in GPS, Wi-Fi 6 and support for the HB-Series lens mods. You can see it, hold it and try the menus at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you pay a shilling.
Built for content creators, tour guides, cyclists, divers and journalists across Kenya, the GoPro HERO13 Black handles the shots a phone cannot. A phone held out of a matatu window or strapped to a bike handlebar shakes, heats up in the sun and risks a cracked screen. The GoPro HERO13 Black clips onto a helmet, chest strap or dashboard and keeps footage steady over murram roads and potholes. Snorkellers at Diani and Watamu take it into salt water with no extra case. Event videographers run the GoPro HERO13 Black as a second angle beside a main camera, and its 10-bit colour gives editors more room to grade.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International sells this camera sealed, with a 12-month warranty handled at our own Nairobi CBD desk rather than through a distant agent. Where many Nairobi shops sell grey imports with no local after-sales support, we stand behind every unit we hand over. Customers across Nairobi tell us they value checking the screens, mounts and menus in person before paying. Buyers throughout Kenya report smooth pay-on-arrival delivery, so you can order from Mombasa or Kisumu and pay by M-Pesa when the parcel reaches you.

Common Questions About the GoPro HERO13 Black
How much is the GoPro HERO13 Black in Kenya?
The GoPro HERO13 Black costs KSh 48,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price includes one Enduro battery, a curved adhesive mount and a 12-month warranty handled at our Kimathi Street store. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, so you pay by M-Pesa or cash only when the camera reaches you. If you want a spare battery from day one, the GoPro HERO13 Black with Extra Enduro Battery costs KSh 51,000, which is KSh 3,000 more.
Is the GoPro HERO13 Black or the Insta360 X4 better for Kenyan creators?
The GoPro HERO13 Black suits creators who want ready-to-post, single-lens footage, while the Insta360 X4 suits those who want 360-degree capture they reframe later. At Mascom International the Insta360 X4 costs KSh 47,000, just KSh 1,000 below the GoPro. The GoPro HERO13 Black gives you a standard frame straight from the camera, a front screen for framing yourself and HB-Series lens mods. The X4 records everything around it, so you pick the angle in the edit. Choose the GoPro if you dislike long editing sessions, and the X4 if you enjoy creative angles.
How does the GoPro HERO13 Black cope with dust, heat and rain on Kenyan roads?
The GoPro HERO13 Black is sealed and waterproof to 10 metres, so rain on Thika Road or splashes on a boda boda ride will not harm it. The same sealing keeps dust out of the body on murram roads in Kajiado or Laikipia. Its water-repelling lens cover can be replaced if it gets scratched by grit. In strong midday heat, keep the camera out of direct sun between takes. Short clips instead of one long recording also help it stay cool on hot afternoons.
Can the GoPro HERO13 Black film underwater at Diani or Watamu?
Yes, the GoPro HERO13 Black films underwater down to 10 metres, or 33 feet, without a separate housing. That depth covers snorkelling at Watamu Marine Park, reef swims at Diani and pool sessions at a Nairobi hotel. The water-repelling lens cover sheds droplets when you surface, so above-water shots stay clear. For scuba dives deeper than 10 metres you need a protective dive housing, so ask us on WhatsApp about options. After every sea trip, rinse the camera in fresh water to wash off the salt.
How long does the GoPro HERO13 Black battery last on one charge?
The GoPro HERO13 Black records for more than 2.5 hours at 1080p and 30 frames per second on its 1900mAh Enduro battery, according to GoPro. At 4K or 5.3K and 30 frames per second, expect over 1.5 hours of continuous recording. That covers a full morning game drive in the Maasai Mara if you film in short clips. The Enduro battery holds more charge than the 1720mAh battery GoPro used before. If you film all day, a spare battery or a power bank over USB-C keeps you going.
Is the GoPro HERO13 Black good for YouTube and TikTok content creators?
The GoPro HERO13 Black is a strong choice for Kenyan YouTube and TikTok creators who film on the move. The front screen lets you frame yourself while you talk, and HyperSmooth 6.0 keeps walking shots steady through busy CBD streets. Frame grabs of up to 24.7MP give you a thumbnail straight from the video. Creators who grade their footage get 10-bit colour, GP-Log and LUT support. GPS data adds speed and altitude overlays in the Quik app, which makes cycling and hiking clips stand out.
Can I mount the GoPro HERO13 Black on a helmet, bike or car dashboard?
Yes, the GoPro HERO13 Black fits GoPro's standard mounting system, and the box includes a curved adhesive mount for helmets. It also works with GoPro's magnetic latch mount, which lets you move the camera between a helmet, a dashboard and a tripod in seconds. Riders on the Ngong Hills cycling routes use helmet or chest mounts for steady first-person footage. HyperSmooth 6.0 smooths out bumps from potholes and speed bumps. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp which mounts are in stock for your bike or car.
Who should buy the GoPro HERO13 Black and who should skip it?
Buy the GoPro HERO13 Black if you film sport, travel, diving, riding or fast-moving events and need footage that stays steady and survives water and dust. It suits creators, tour operators, cyclists and journalists who work outdoors. Skip it if you mainly shoot family portraits, distant wildlife or speeches from the back of a hall, since it has no optical zoom. Those buyers are better served by a compact zoom camera such as the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS. If you want 360-degree footage instead, look at the Insta360 X4.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 1/1.9-inch CMOS sensor with 27.6MP effective pixels — the sensor is the chip that captures light, and its size brings more detail to each frame.
- 27MP still photos — enough resolution to crop a wide scene down to one rider and still print it sharply.
- 24.7MP frame grabs from video — pull a clean still from any clip for a thumbnail or a social media post.
- 10-bit colour at 4K and above — about a billion shades per pixel, so skies and skin tones stay smooth when edited.
- GP-Log encoding with LUT support — a flat recording profile that keeps highlight and shadow detail for professional colour grading.
- HLG HDR video — Hybrid Log Gamma records bright skies and dark shade together, ready for HDR phones and televisions.
Lens and Stabilization
- HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization — electronic image stabilization that irons out bumps and shakes without a separate gimbal.
- Horizon Lock — keeps the horizon level even when the camera tilts or rolls on a helmet or handlebar.
- Automatic HB-Series lens detection — the camera recognises the Macro, Ultra Wide and Anamorphic Lens Mods and adjusts its settings.
- ND Filter 4-Pack support — neutral density filters cut light like sunglasses, giving natural motion blur in bright daylight.
- Replaceable water-repelling lens cover — sheds droplets in rain or surf, and a scratched cover is swapped instead of the camera.
- Waterproof to 10 metres or 33 feet — swim, snorkel and film in heavy rain without buying a separate housing.
Video Capabilities
- 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second — more detail than 4K, leaving room to crop or reframe in the edit.
- 4K at up to 120 frames per second — sharp footage that plays back at quarter speed for smooth slow motion.
- 2.7K and 1080p at up to 240 frames per second — 8x slow motion for jumps, splashes and goal celebrations.
- Burst Slo-Mo at 720p and 400 frames per second for 15 seconds — deep slow-motion playback of short, fast moments.
- 120 Mb/s recording bitrate — a high data rate that keeps fine textures like grass and water clean in fast motion.
- Timecode sync across several cameras — lines up multi-camera clips automatically in Final Cut and Premiere.
Battery and Storage
- 1900mAh Enduro battery — more than 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p and 30 frames per second, per GoPro.
- Over 1.5 hours at 4K30 and 5.3K30 — enough for a long hike or a full match filmed in short clips.
- Higher capacity than the earlier 1720mAh Enduro battery — this battery is made for this model and does not fit older GoPros.
- Single microSD card slot — use a V30-rated card or faster so high-bitrate video records without dropped frames.
- About 900MB of storage per minute at 120 Mb/s — a 128GB card holds roughly two hours and twenty minutes of footage.
- USB-C charging port — top up from a laptop, a car charger or a power bank between takes.
Connectivity and Build
- Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands — faster, steadier transfers of large video files from the camera to your phone.
- Bluetooth 5.3 — a low-power link that keeps the camera paired with your phone for remote control.
- Built-in GPS — records speed, altitude and route data that the Quik app turns into animated overlays.
- Front and rear screens — frame yourself on the front display and change settings on the rear touchscreen.
- Magnetic latch mount compatible — click the camera onto a magnetic mount and swap positions in seconds.
- Compact body of 71.8 x 50.8 x 33.6 mm — small enough for a jacket pocket or a helmet without weighing you down.
Package Contents
The GoPro HERO13 Black box holds the camera, one 1900mAh Enduro battery and a curved adhesive mount, which sticks to helmets and car bodies for first-person shots.

If you already know you will film for long stretches, the GoPro HERO13 Black with Extra Enduro Battery at KSh 51,000 adds a second battery to the same kit.
