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.

Common Questions (5)

  • Many units arrive like new with no scratches, working batteries, and the included accessories/SD card present. Some arrive with visible wear, taped or beat-up packaging, or missing items, so it is worth inspecting the camera body, screen, batteries, and card immediately on arrival.

  • It can overheat in demanding setups like continuous tripod recording or higher frame-rate use, but it also runs for long stretches when used as an action camera. Practical fixes include keeping the sides unobstructed, using tripod mode, and powering it externally for long rides or vehicle use.

  • The listing is supposed to include two batteries and a 128GB microSD card, and several units arrived that way. A few buyers received a dead battery, a battery the camera would not detect, or a 64GB card instead, so both batteries and the card size should be checked right away.

  • Yes. One battery may arrive with a charge issue or fail to charge, and checking them immediately makes it easier to get a replacement from QuickShip before you need the camera.

  • Yes. The camera alone is listed at $429.99 retail, and shoppers noted prior prices around $319 at Costco or $329 elsewhere, making $225 with two batteries, a 128GB card, and a case a strong discount.

I don't know why we would want to buy a device that we would need to hack it to make it perform for less than its marketed feature. I wouldn't buy it even for a steep discount. Some will say, but it worked for me for yada yada how many years. Yea but what if I get it and it overheated for me.

You can't record anything after the fact. Image clarity depends on how much you want to zoom and how much light you have.
Of course you can't add quality to recorded videos. so I'm asking. Wind angle zoomed in during post production hows quality. Most 4K zoomed in looks like a fuzzy potato lol.

And that is too high for an overheating product.

It doesn't overheat when used as intended - as an action camera.


It only overheats when idiots put it on a tripod outside and try to record 5K for an hour straight.


And by the way there is "tripod mode" in the settings that prevents it from overheating, but again idiots don't use it

Suggestions for a cheap but good accessories. Selfie stick, tripod, chest and helmet (motorcycle and bicycle) mount, and maybe underwater case, don't think I'll be doing much of the later but why not.


Wanted a 360 cam but missed the Costco deal for the insta360 x4, so I'll use this till next year when the x5 is discounted.

Reminder for me to check the batteries. I just got mine today and the box is beat up, the stuff inside is not with plastic still on it like others mentioned in other posts but it looks really good cosmetically I guess (no scratches that I can see, will need to look at in daylight tomorrow). Only thing I can see is that the original owner wrote their password on quick start guide looking thing.

I put in one battery to test the camera and it was charged to about 40% already. Charging that battery now and will test out the second battery next to make sure it works.

Is there anything specific I should be testing on these "open box" items?

The one I received I would not call open box quality. It's very scratched up and looks well used. Also was missing one of the batteries. Will open a return tomorrow for a replacement or refund. Hope everyone else has better luck.

I just got my GoPro Hero 13 mine and it's clearly been used before. The black case logo is already fading and there are light scratches on the camera itself (not on the lens luckily) and small dents around the lens cap. Definitely not what I'd expect for "New - Open box". However, both included batteries seem to be working fine so far, so at least that part checks out.
