Light mod DOES NOT fit Hero 13 black

By AJ B.
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-10-09

Well the light works good, great even, super bright and compact. The only issue is I ordered this for my GoPro hero 13 black, which this light mod said it was compatible for. Upon arrival I noticed my camera did not have the same notch as the camera in the picture, so I have no way to attach this light mod to my GoPro hero 13 black without using the sticky adhesive.

Great light but WARNING

It’s a powerful little light but be warned - MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT ATTACH THE LIGHT TO THE MEDIA MOD BACKWARD BECAUSE IT WILL GET STUCK!!!! I wished they’d put some kind of marking on the media mod or light to prevent you from accidentally attaching it backward (as I did since I was in a hurry). As of now I’m still trying to figure out how to take the light off the media mod without breaking anything, it’s still stuck!!

The GoPro Light Mod for HERO8 Black, HERO9 Black, and HERO10 Black does follow a common shoe mount design and should slot into the hot shoe on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera (Body Only).
