Robust and waterproof up to 10 m:
Completely waterproof and more durable than ever, HERO12 Black is ready to capture every extraordinary moment of your adventures. Thanks to the incredibly robust design, designed to take a beating and never stop, it can face any challenge at your side: mud, snow or water up to 10m deep. The water-repellent lens cap also eliminates lens flare and other unwanted artifacts , for even more amazing photos and videos.
Doubled autonomy:
Combined with the included 1,720mAh Enduro battery, the HERO12 Black's impressive battery efficiency gives you double the battery life per charge while capturing 5.3K60 video. You'll enjoy 70 minutes of continuous recording in 5.3K60 (the highest setting), over an hour and a half in 5.3K30 and over two and a half hours at 1080p30.6 Thanks to its advanced technology, Enduro offers improved performance even at lower temperatures than previous GoPro cameras and batteries.
HDR videos and photos:
HERO12 Black takes best-in-class image quality to the next level with HDR technology for video (5.3K and 4K) and photos. Ideal in both shaded areas and very bright environments, HDR technology captures the smallest details of each scene that generally blend into shadows or disappear into the brightest points of your shot. The result? Sharp, dynamic images with lifelike colors.
Amazing image quality:
Videos shot in 5.3K boast a resolution that is 91% higher than 4K and 665% higher than 1080p. That's why HERO12 Black can produce videos with exceptionally sharp details and big-screen image quality in HDR (High Dynamic Range), as well as 27 MP photos. And with the Quik GoPro app you can also extract favorite images from your videos as 24.7MP photos.
Slo-Mo up to 8x:
Everything is even more beautiful in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you capture video with up to 8x Slo-Mo and resolutions up to 2.7K. You can then play them back at normal speed or in super smooth slow motion to capture epic details, impossible to see with the naked eye.
HyperSmooth 6.0: Emmy-worthy stabilization:
Awarded in 2021 with an Emmy for the “Integrated sensors and stabilization software” category, the technology. HyperSmooth continues to impress with incredibly smooth footage. And, combined with HERO12 Black, it delivers even more stunning visuals by maximizing HyperSmooth AutoBoost performance with increased levels of stabilization and minimal image clipping. Cycle, skate, ski, chase your kids at the park or capture amazing POV (first-person) shots exploring the world from your pet's point of view - even the shakiest footage will be ultra-smooth
360° Horizon Lock:
Produce smooth, professional-looking videos while keeping the horizon straight and stable. HERO12 Black's Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens helps you keep your shots straight even when the camera rotates 360° during recording.4 Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon Lock lets you capture stunning footage smooth and perfectly straight... if you want it, of course. For professional-quality results, you no longer need gimbals or stabilization software.
Wide field of vision:
The HERO12 Black's powerful image sensor offers the widest field of view ever seen on a HERO camera. With wide 8:7 aspect ratio shooting that captures more of the sky and horizon in each shot, you'll have a huge canvas for your creativity. Simply use the Quik GoPro app to enlarge, crop and edit your shots: the textures will always be well defined and the sharpness of the shots will remain unchanged. With HyperView, HERO12 Black takes the 8:7 aspect ratio to the next level. GoPro's unique digital lens records footage in 8:7 aspect ratio and lets you shoot wide-angle shots in 16:9. The result? A super engaging video that gives that extra touch to action-packed POV (subjective) shots, including more of the surrounding environment and whoever is filming in the frame.
Compatible with the new MAX 2.0 Lens Mod:
Add the MAX 2.0 Lens Mod to the HERO12 Black to transform it into the perfect camera for capturing first-person shots with a 177° field of view (FOV), the widest ever in the HERO lineup (starting from the 155° FOV of the Lens Mod original MAX). With a 36% wider field of view (FOV) for widescreen capture and 48% for vertical capture, it delivers even more immersive video with stunning 4K60 resolution and maximum HyperSmooth Max stabilization. Plus, you get Frame Lock horizon for all lenses, plus 1080p120 video for ultra-steady 4x Slo-Mo shooting with an optimized FOV.
8-bit Video, 10-bit + Log:
With HERO12 Black, you can choose whether to record 8-bit, 10-bit or Log video. The 10-bit option can reproduce over a billion shades with enhanced color depth and smoother gradations, for incredibly lifelike video, while 8-bit footage offers smaller file formats. More experienced users can use the Log function to obtain more detailed footage and make necessary color adjustments in post-production.
