GoPro HERO 12 Action Camera (Black)

GoPro HERO 12 Action Camera (Black)

Introducing the new HERO12 Black
Best-in-class image quality, even better HyperSmooth video stabilization and a huge boost in battery performance come together in the world’s most versatile camera. It takes 5.3K video and adds HDR (High Dynamic Range) for even more detail. Tough and lightweight, it’s ready for anything on land or water while advanced stabilization keeps footage smooth over rough terrain.

Jaw-Dropping 5.3K Video
5.3K delivers best-in-class image quality with 91% more resolution than 4K.
HERO12 Black also captures in 4K, 2.7K and 1080p video resolutions.

Up to 8x Slo-Mo
Get 4x slo-mo—that’s 120 frames per second—at a ridiculously high 4K resolution. You can also ramp up the slo-mo to 8x—240 frames per second—at 2.7K.

Ultra Durable + Waterproof
Waterproof to 33 feet and built to take a beating.

Water-Repelling Lens Cover
Hydrophobic lens sheds water to keep your shots crystal clear when you’re in the water.

Emmy®-Winning Video Stabilization
HyperSmooth 6.0 continues to raise the bar for in-camera video stabilization, giving you impossibly smooth footage no matter how rough it gets. And it’s winning awards, too—an Emmy® Award for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization.

AutoBoost
With HyperSmooth 6.0, HERO12 Black automatically ensures you get the widest shots possible while using video stabilization depending on your speed and movement in the scene.

Built-In Horizon Lock
Horizon Lock is a built-in part of HyperSmooth 6.0, so it’s easier than ever to keep the horizon level when your camera rotates a full 360°.

Ultra Wide Angles in 4K
Get an expansive field of view that’s 36% wider than HERO12 Black alone4 for amazing views of your bike or skis, and it makes the video look faster and more immersive—all in stunning 4K60.

Vertical Capture for Social Media
4K60 Vertical Capture dramatically expands your field of view by up to 48%5 without additional mounts or needing to rotate the camera for immersive POV that’s ready for social media.

177° In 4K60
New to Max Lens Mod 2.0, Max HyperView delivers a 177° field of view—that’s the widest view available in a GoPro, even compared to GoPro MAX shooting in single-lens mode—in stunning 4K60.

Up to 2x Longer Runtime
Thanks to its improved power management, HERO12 Black delivers 2x longer continuous recording at 5.3K60 (70 minutes)¹, plus over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p30.

Cold-Weather Enduro Battery Included
Using advanced technology, the long-lasting Enduro Rechargeable Battery boosts performance in cold temperatures over previous GoPro cameras and batteries.

All-New HDR Video
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Video delivers greater detail and color in highlights and is now available in 5.3K and 4K60.

Larger Image Sensor Lets You Do More

Shoot Wide Screen, Vertical or Full Frame
With a tap, switch between Wide Screen or new Vertical Capture depending on whether you’re shooting for traditional wide-screen playback or social media. Or capture in Full Frame and decide later in the Quik app for maximum versatility.

Ultra Wide-Angle Digital Lenses
HyperView and SuperView—both GoPro exclusive digital lenses—enable ultra wide 16:9 capture, standard in HERO12 Black. For even wider shots, consider the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory (see above).

156° Field of View in Full 8:7
The large image sensor also lets you capture a wide 156° field of view in a full-frame 8:7 aspect ratio, in 5.3K and 4K.

Pro-Level Imaging + Sound

10-Bit Color
10-bit color enables enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism. And pro creators can use GP-Log encoding with LUT to max out dynamic range before applying color correction.

New TimeCode Sync
Wirelessly synchronize multiple HERO12 Blacks via timecode in the Quik app. It’s perfect for when you want to capture an activity from multiple angles and then make precise, match-frame edits in post-production. Use matching timecode clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and other applications that support multi-camera editing for your next project.

New Bluetooth Audio Support
Now you can use your Apple AirPods, Bluetooth earbuds or other wireless mics during interviews or narration. You can also give voice commands remotely and hear alerts from your camera.

Stunning 27MP Photos + 24.7MP Frame Grabs
Just point and shoot for frame-worthy photos. And you can grab high-res, ready-to-share photos right from video.

Dual LCD Screens
Get smooth, snappy playback on the super responsive rear touch screen, and flip to the front screen to frame selfies.
