The built in Mic of the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eALd_ptcK6c\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eALd_ptcK6c\">Hero9<\/a> worked well for slow speeds but not highway.

However I discovered The built in mic and noise canceling of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40ugmX3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40ugmX3\">Hero13 <\/a>is now good enough for most in car audio.

I put this to the test while skiing and the battery performed well in cold conditions also.  Some of the additional new features are the new vertical shooting mode and 120FPS super slo mo mode.  See my skiing video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"@GoPro  HERO13 Black Skiing Footage with 4K 16:9 vertical and 120FPS Super SLO Mo\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kEwic0phfAc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the new enduro batteries are larger the ones from previous gopro&#8217;s are not compatible.
