GoPro HERO12 Black Camera with 5.3k Image Quality, 4k Video Resolution, and 8x Slo-Mo

The best HERO camera GoPro has ever made, the GoPro HERO12 Black takes GoPro’s best-in-class image quality to the next level with new HDR (High Dynamic Range) 5.3K and 4K video, upgraded HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization and an industry-leading 177-degree field-of-view with Max Lens Mod 2.0. Other new features include a totally redesigned power management system for improved thermal performance and up to 2x longer runtimes and Bluetooth audio support for Apple AirPods and other headphones to record sound and give remote voice commands. There are also pro-level features like wirelessly synchronizing multiple HERO12s via timecode, advanced color controls, and more. HERO12 wraps all of this into GoPro’s legendary waterproof, ultra-rugged design to ensure you get the shot, no matter the environment.
Jaw-Dropping 5.3K Video
5.3K delivers best-in-class image quality with 91 percent 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 with 240 frames per second at 2.7K.
Ultra Durable and 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, such as 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 degree.
New Max Lens Mod 2.0
Get the widest, tallest, and most thrilling POV shots possible, including an ultra-wide, industry-leading 177-degree field of view, all in 4K60. And Max HyperSmooth provides unbreakable video stabilization in all video modes. This is the perfect upgrade for mountain biking, skiing, and other action sports. Get an expansive field of view that’s 36 percent wider than HERO12 Black alone for amazing views of your bike or skis, and it makes the video look faster and more immersive, all in stunning 4K60. 4K60 Vertical Capture dramatically expands your field of view by up to 48 percent without additional mounts or needing to rotate the camera for an immersive POV that’s ready for social media.
177 Degree in 4K60
New to Max Lens Mod 2.0, Max HyperView delivers a 177-degree 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.
Now with Longer Runtimes
Thanks to its improved power management, HERO12 Black delivers 2x longer continuous recording at 5.3K60 (70 minutes), 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. 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. HyperView and SuperView - both GoPro exclusive digital lenses enable ultra-wide 16 to 9 capture, standard in HERO12 Black. For even wider shots, consider the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory. The large image sensor also lets you capture a wide 156-degree field of view in a full-frame 8 to 7 aspect ratio, in 5.3K and 4K.
Pro-Level Imaging and Sound
10-bit color enables enhanced color depth, smoother gradations, and more realism. Pro creators can use GP-Log encoding with LUT to max out dynamic range before applying color correction. 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. 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 and 24.7MP Frame Grabs
Just point and shoot for frame-worthy photos. And you can grab high-res, ready-to-share photos right from the video.
Dual LCD Screens
Get smooth, snappy playback on the super-responsive rear touch screen, and flip to the front screen to frame selfies.
Night Effects at the Push of a Button
Use the Earth’s rotation and stars to capture beautiful light trails in the night sky. Create brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Use night-time traffic to record stunning light trail shots.
