About the GoPro HERO12 Black

Power Tools include HindSight, which captures up to 30 seconds before you start recording, Scheduled Capture of up to 24 hours in advance, Duration Capture from 15 seconds to 3 hours, and a new interval photo feature.

Easy and Pro controls let you choose point-and-shoot simplicity or full camera control, and you can save presets for different shooting styles. Bluetooth audio connects to wireless microphones and earbuds. Footage uploads to the cloud when charged within your home Wi-Fi, and the Quik app supports editing and lens changes after recording.

Tough and lightweight, HERO12 Black is ready for anything on land or water. Its advanced stabilisation keeps footage smooth over rough terrain, and improved power management delivers the longer runtime, with Enduro also performing better in cold temperatures than previous GoPro cameras and batteries.

HyperSmooth has won a 2021 Emmy for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilisation. Add Max Lens Mod 2.0 for a 177° field of view, the widest on any HERO camera and up from 155° with the original Max Lens Mod. It gives a 36% larger field of view for widescreen capture and 48% larger for vertical, delivering immersive 4K60 video with Max HyperSmooth.

Photos and videos can be sent wirelessly through the Quik app or moved over a fast wired USB connection, giving you a flexible choice for getting footage onto your phone.

The camera also has a standard 3.5mm microphone port and HDMI output for use with external monitors. Two cold-shoe mounts take lights, LCD screens or other accessories, so you can build a fuller setup around the camera when needed.
