Is the Polar White version different from the black HERO13 Black?

Only the color differs. It has the same sensor, stabilization, waterproofing, and HB-series lens support as the standard black model.

Does it need a waterproof case?

No. The body is waterproof to 10 meters without a housing, which covers snorkeling and most surface water sports.

The GoPro offers higher-resolution slow motion and a wider lens ecosystem. The DJI is generally better in low light and on battery life.

The camera, an Enduro battery, a curved adhesive mount, a mounting buckle, and a USB-C cable. A case and extra batteries are sold separately.

The magnetic mount works with GoPro's mount ecosystem, and the HERO13 uses the same battery shape as recent HERO models, so older spares fit.

Only if you want the magnetic mount, GPS, and HB-series lens support. Video quality and stabilization are close to the HERO12.
