There's a lot of differences between the Hero 12 and Hero 13. Here's what the Hero 13 has that the Hero 12 does not. GPS... So yes, it's worth the extra money.
The hero 12 is waterproof if the battery door is fully closed and the seals on the camera are intact. However, thereโs been a number of posts with people claiming that theirs died after what should ha
GoPro hero 12 can be had for around 100 euro on eBay.

Pretty much hero 12 with loads of adapters to get the mattebox to fit. Media mod, and then a small rig 50 battery to power it.
The only advantage is throwing filters on it, and the battery life.
