Rated 3 out of 5

Mostly good

Camera, batteries and battery charger all work great but SD card is corrupt and unfortunately not at all usable, even with attempted reformatting on a PC it does not work.

Solid performance and image

This is my first action cam and I have to say it's been a blast to use. The image quality out of this is better than I expected though I've been admittedly underwhelmed by the GP-log footage. Took it into a pool without any housing and it worked perfectly and the touchscreen performed decently even with wet hands. Battery life has been good from my experience but I'm also not doing shots for more than 30-60 secs at a time.

GoPro HERO12 Black

The GoPro HERO12 Black presents a massive upgrade from its predecessor with new HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization and a huge boost in battery life. This action camera is ready for anything with a rugged design capable of shooting in mud, snow, or the ocean (down to 33 feet underwater). This action camera takes 5.3K video and adds High Dynamic Range (HDR) for even more detail in your footage. Thanks to its improved power management, it delivers 2x longer continuous recording reaching 70 minutes when shooting at 5.3K60.

All-in-One Creative Solution

The HERO12 Black Creator Edition combines HERO12 Black, the best GoPro camera ever made, with the mounts and accessories you need to tell your story right out of the box. It includes Volta (Battery Grip / Tripod / Remote), Media Mod and Light Mod that seamlessly come together in a powerful creative solution that delivers stunning pro-quality footage and the versatility to capture a wide variety of photos and videos in an ultra portable design that's light enough to comfortably carry through an all-day production.

GPHERO12CE

All-Day Capture + Enduro Battery

The HERO12 Black Creator Edition combines HERO12 Black's advanced Enduro battery with the power of the Volta grip to give you a total of 6620mAh of power. Combined with HERO12 Black's improved power management, you'll get 35% more runtime for a total of over 5 hours of continuous 4K30 recording-enough to capture a full day of video clips. The 1720mAh Enduro also dramatically improves cold weather performance so you can power through ski, snowboard and other winter shots.

GPHERO12CE

High Dynamic Range Video + Photo

HERO12 Black takes its best-in-class image quality to the next level with HDR for both videos (5.3K and 4K) and photos. Great in environments with both shadows and bright light, HDR captures the subtle details of the scene that might typically blend into the darkness of shadows or disappear in the bright spots of your shot. The result is dynamic footage with true-to-life color and precision.

GPHERO12CE

Unbelievable Image Quality

With 5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p, HERO12 Black captures the action with crisp detail and cinematic image quality with High Dynamic Range (HDR) while also taking 27MP photos. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7MP of your favorite shots from your videos using the GoPro Quik app.

GPHERO12CE

Up to 8x Slo-Mo

Everything is more awesome in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you record the action at up to 8x slo-mo at resolutions up to 2.7K for playback at normal speed or in super fluid slow motion to catch epic details that you'd never be able to see with the naked eye.

GPHERO12CE

Emmy Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilization

HyperSmooth continues to set the bar for insanely smooth footage and has the hardware to back it up-a 2021 Emmy for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization. HERO12 Black makes it even better by maximizing HyperSmooth AutoBoost performance with more stabilization while still delivering less image cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get awesome pet POV shots-even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth.

GPHERO12CE

360 Degree Horizon Lock

Give your videos the look of professional productions by keeping the horizon steady, straight and smooth. HERO12 Black's Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens keeps your footage steady even if your camera rotates a full 360 Degree during capture. Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon Lock gives you super smooth footage that looks perfectly straight when you want it to. You won't need a gimbal or stabilization software for pro-quality results.

GPHERO12CE

Extra-Large Field of View

HERO12 Black's powerful image sensor delivers the most expansive field of view ever on a HERO camera out of the box. It features extra-large 8:7 aspect ratio footage that gets more of the sky and horizon in each shot-giving you a huge canvas for your creativity. Simply use the GoPro Quik app to zoom in, crop and edit your shots while keeping the rich textures and sharpness of your footage. HERO12 Black takes 8:7 a step further with HyperView. This GoPro-exclusive digital lens takes 8:7 footage and serves it up as a wide-angle 16:9 shot. The result is ultra-immersive video that amps up action-oriented POV footage by capturing more of you and your surroundings.

GPHERO12CE

1-Handed Control + Remote

Integrated camera buttons on the grip give you easy one-handed control of your camera: power on and off, start and stop capture, and switching modes. You can even detach the camera from the grip and use the grip as a wireless remote to control your camera from up to 98ft (30m) away.

GPHERO12CE

Easily Expandable

The Media Mod gives you the option of expanding your HERO12 Black Creator Edition with additional gear to help you capture your story. It features a standard 3.5mm mic port for adding your own external mic, HDMI-out for playback on external monitors, plus two cold-shoe mounts for lights, LCD screens or other accessories.

GPHERO12CE

8-Bit, 10-Bit + Log Encoding

HERO12 Black lets you choose between capturing 8-bit, 10-bit or Log encoding with GP-Log. Capable of displaying over 1 billion colors, 10-bit color delivers enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism in your videos, while 8-bit offers smaller file sizes. Advanced users can use GP-Log to get more detail in their footage while making necessary color adjustments in post-production.

GPHERO12CE

Timecode Sync

Advanced users with more than one HERO12 Black can sync them with the exact same timecode to make multi-camera editing a lot easier. It works with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier and other editing software to further streamline post-production.

GPHERO12CE

Built-in Tripod

In addition to making it easy to hold and aim your camera, the HERO12 Black Creator Edition's Volta grip has built-in tripod legs that easily flip out any time you need to set it down to capture stationary and hands-free shots. Swivel mounting fingers even let you rotate and tilt the camera to find just the right capture angle.
