Extended Runtimes: Powering Your Adventures

One of the most significant enhancements in the HERO12 Black is its redesigned power management system, which allows for up to 2x longer runtimes. Users can now enjoy 70 minutes of continuous recording at 5.3K60, over 95 minutes at 5.3K30, and more than 155 minutes of continuous recording at 1080p30—all while benefiting from the impressive HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization feature.

Stunning High Dynamic Range (HDR) Video

The HERO12 Black delivers astonishing high dynamic range (HDR) video in market-leading 5.3K and 4K resolution. This means you can capture your adventures with unparalleled clarity and vibrant colours, ensuring your footage stands out from the crowd.

Max Lens Mod 2.0: Expanding Horizons

GoPro has introduced the Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory, offering an expansive 177° field of view at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. With three field-of-view settings—Max Wide, Max SuperView, and the all-new Max HyperView—users can explore perspectives that are 36% wider when capturing widescreen video and 48% taller for vertical video. This accessory also boasts 2x more scratch-resistant glass and a hydrophobic lens coating that repels water drops.

Wireless Audio Support and GP-Log with LUTs

The HERO12 Black supports wireless audio from Apple AirPods and other Bluetooth® audio devices. This feature is perfect for vlogging, scene narration, and issuing voice commands to control your camera from a distance. Additionally, the GP-Log feature, combined with available Look-Up Tables (LUTs), empowers professional users with greater control over post-production editing and colour grading.

Revolutionary Quik Desktop App

GoPro is enhancing the software experience for its users with the launch of the Quik desktop app, exclusively available to GoPro subscribers at no additional cost. This desktop counterpart to the mobile app provides advanced editing features that take full advantage of a computer’s processing power and screen size. Seamless syncing between Quik desktop and the mobile app ensures a smooth editing workflow.

User-Friendly Interface

For those seeking convenience and control, the HERO12 Black offers an updated user interface.
