This open-box HERO13 Black bundle stands out as a strong value for action recording, especially with the extra batteries, 128GB microSD card, and case. The camera is praised for handling long 5.3K recording sessions, and external power options can help on long rides or vehicle setups while reducing heat. Condition is the main variable, though, with some units arriving like new and others showing scratches, beat-up packaging, missing or faulty batteries, or the wrong SD card size. It is a compelling package if you are comfortable checking the contents carefully on arrival.

  • Action-camera riders filming long chest-mounted sessions, because the camera can run for hours at max resolution without overheating when used that way.

  • Drivers mounting a camera in a vehicle, because it can be powered from a car USB port for continuous recording.

  • Hikers and road-trippers who want all-day footage, because it can capture 10-plus hours across long outings with battery swaps.

  • Buyers who need a guaranteed complete open-box package, because some arrivals had scratched screens, missing batteries, or the wrong SD card.

  • People who need flawless battery performance out of the box, because a battery can arrive dead, fail to charge, or be undetected by the camera.

  • Tripod shooters recording 5K continuously outdoors, because it can overheat when left stationary for long takes.

  • Underwater swimmers needing a camera for submerged use, because it is not a good option for swimming underwater.

I bought a gopro 11 hero black from them and the packaging was banged up but everything else looked brand new. Just ordered this one as well.
Seems like a decent deal but is it worth the upgrade though (from 11)? I hear ppl keep saying if you have 11 or 10 or even 9 just wait a few more years b/c the innovation isn't there each yr to make it worthwhile. I know they took away geo tagging from 12 and there were histories of units overheating. Maybe if you have those issues might worth a look into new gen.

Completely agree. I'm only upgrading for the future resale value. No better performance

Just got mine in--everything looks and works well, no visible signs of use outside of the taped up outer box. Batteries in good order, and both work. Correct size microSD. Think I'm missing an instruction manual/quickstart guide, but those are available on the GoPro website. Calling this a very slick deal!

Just received mine. Box was kinda ehh, no stickers on the screens but also no visible marks besides the faint smudge imperfection on the battery door that could have came from the factory. One battery came with 97% and the other with 66%. Got all the manuals and quick start literature. Sd is the correct size. I would say this is a deal at $250 otd, could've gotten one locally used for about the same price but that wouldn't have came with the warranty.

I have a 12. I have only had it turn off once due to overheating on a tour bus that was probably mid 70s no AC because it was probably 50 F outside. I was continuously recording for 45 minutes straight 5.3k at 30 fps.

I have had the unit fail to turn on once or twice because it was so cold ( below freezing with wind) that the battery needed to warm up a bit. I stuck in a warm battery and just kept the unit running even if not recording. No issues.

I've used my unit at both poles of Earth... Hawaii, Australia, Europe... it's been great

Of course you can't add quality to recorded videos.

Yes, you can. Upscale using AI if needed.


I wouldn't recommend it for your use case, but it's technically possible to "add quality".

code works fine as of 8/19 8:44PM PST. just bought one
Just got mine in the mail today. For the price, great deal and it's pretty much brand new. I'm just kinda bummed cause I saw the announcement of Insta360's new detachable action cam. Maybe I should've just got that one instead, as I already own the GoPro 11 🥲

The one 1 received today is definitely used and NOT new. scratches in the front screen. Not sure how it was used. The Gopro 11 I am using for last 1 year has better front screen.

Sorry about that! I just got mine 2 days ago and I'm pretty sure it's brand new.

now it makes sense why these are so cheap.


got mine today, and it is absolutely not just "open-box". the screen is has multiple scratches and the packaging was taped together in multiple places due to being so damaged. haven't even tried the batteries yet but it's not worth wasting my time, I'm sending this thing back and will never purchase from this scamming vendor "Quick Ship Electronics" ever again.

This is one hell of a deal. Even if you go with Gopro's and other vendors' best price in recent weeks at $329, it is $100 cheaper before 2nd battery and free SD card.
I went ahead and got the UW and Macro lenses from bestbuy also open box for under $100 each. I am really happy to replace my white version i lost on a recent trip.

Just FYI I just received mine today and one of the batteries is bad. When I put it in the the camera it says there is no battery.. the other one seems to work though.
Just a follow-up here, I emailed QuickShipElectronics and they shipped me out a replacement battery within a couple of days!
