Ultra Wide is 177\u00b0, 4K60 HyperSmooth, and a mode the camera names. AEMAG-002 is a pinch mount. The body already has fingers and 1\/4-20, and GoPro tells you to use those fingers for high-shock. The latch is a pinch mount, not the Overall accessory.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether a HERO12 Enduro or 1720mAh cell fits<\/h3><p>GoPro: Enduro for HERO13 Black uses a re-engineered connector and is not compatible with previous GoPros. Capacity is 1900mAh versus the prior 1720mAh pack. The 2-pack is a spare for the cell that already shipped in the HERO13 carton.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether Ultra Wide still records 5.3K60<\/h3><p>GoPro quotes the Ultra Wide Lens Mod at 4K60 with unbreakable HyperSmooth. 5.3K60 is a HERO13 body mode on the stock lens path. Attach AEWAL-001 for 177\u00b0 and 4K60, not as a 5.3K upgrade.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether Ultra Wide is the snorkeling lens<\/h3><p>GoPro footnote on AEWAL-001: the Ultra Wide Lens Mod is not intended for use under water. Waterproof when mounted is splash and rain on the hydrophobic coat. Underwater stays on the stock 33 ft body and the original door.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why the card is Budget instead of a V90<\/h3><p>The HERO13 manual asks for V30 \/ UHS-3 \/ A2 or higher, up to 1TB, sold separately. GoPro\u2019s recommended list already includes SanDisk Extreme. A V90 UHS-II card is a cinema this action body does not list.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>GoPro Ultra Wide Lens Mod<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 177\u00b0 HB auto-detect. 4K60 HyperSmooth.
