GoPro HERO12 – Black

GoPro HERO12 Overview

The GoPro HERO12 Black has hardware that is quite similar to its predecessor, including a 27MP image sensor with 5.3K60 video recording capabilities, but it also has better battery life, HyperSmooth 6.0 technology, and more Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The image sensor is capable of easily capturing 5.3K60, 4K120, and 2.7K240 video in addition to 27MP RAW still images. With HyperSmooth 6.0 digital picture stabilization with AutoBoost, you can minimize image cropping without sacrificing the quality of your movie. In addition to having better power management, the HERO12 Camera can capture footage continuously twice as quickly as earlier models.

High-Quality HDR Images

Enabled HDR for both video (5.3K and 4K) and photo modes to render more detail in your shadows and highlights. Capture up to 5.3K60 video or up to 27MP RAW photos with crisp details and cinematic image quality. You can even grab 24.7MP frames from your videos using the Quik app. Record 2.7K video at a 240 frame rate for playback at 8x slow motion.

HyperSmooth 6.0 with AutoBoost

Upgraded HyperSmooth 6.0 features AutoBoost performance that reduces image cropping, which might otherwise compromise your framing. 360° Horizon Lock keeps your footage steady and level, even if your camera rotates completely.

Bluetooth Audio Connectivity

Connect the HERO12 to compatible Bluetooth devices like a wireless microphone to record improved audio. You can even connect wireless headphones to either monitor your recorded audio or facilitate voice commands in noisy settings. Hear camera alerts through your headphones to confirm the HERO12 received the command.

Pro or Easy Control Modes

Choose between point-and-shoot simplicity or full camera control using the HERO12’s two control modes. Easy control allows you to frame your shot and hit the shutter button for a one-and-done shooting solution. Tap the 2.27″ rear touchscreen to toggle between widescreen and mobile shots, slow motion, night effects, and other adjustments. Pro controls unlock the ability to fine-tune all modes, settings, and features to then set as a preset.

Improved Battery Life

The HERO12 has better battery efficiency that, combined with the Enduro battery, delivers a 2x power longevity increase compared to the previous model. Record continuous 5.3K60 footage for 70 minutes or 1080p30 video for over 1.5 hours.
