July 4th deal: For July 4th weekend, Best Buy is selling the GoPro Hero13 Black Action Bundle for $380 — $100 off its usual price.
Also: The best July 4th deals
Like its predecessors, the GoPro Hero 13 Black is small and light enough to carry anywhere. At 5.6 ounces, it’s easy to mount on a helmet, your body, or a vehicle. Even though it’s a few years old, it’s still a great option for documenting summer travels and adventures.

The Hero 13 keeps the durable build of predecessors that’s capable of withstanding hits and drops, making it rugged and ready to go.
The Hero 13 maxes out at 5.3K resolution. One of the advantages of having a GoPro is Log video support. It allows you to handle color grading in post-production software. GoPro has also updated its HDR support to HLG HDR, which offers better compatibility with non-wide-color-gamut displays.
This bundle from Best Buy includes the HERO13 Black Camera, a floating hand grip, two batteries, two adhesive mounts, a 64GB SanDisk Micro SD Card, a mounting buckle + thumb screw, a USB-C cable, and a compact carrying case.
