Overview
Incredible image quality, even better HyperSmooth video stabilisation and a huge boost in battery life come together in the latest and greatest GoPro—HERO12 Black. It takes best-in-class 5.3K video and adds High Dynamic Range (HDR) to capture once-in-a-lifetime journeys and amazing everyday moments in even more detail. Thanks to its improved power management, it delivers 2x longer continuous recording at 5.3K60 (70 minutes).1 Tough, lightweight and easily mountable for hands-free recording, it’s ready for anything (on land or in the water), while advanced video stabilisation keeps your footage smooth over rough terrain. After recording, simply plug in your GoPro. While it’s charging, your footage will be uploaded to the cloud and sent to your phone automatically as a highlight video that lets you relive your adventure and share the fun.
Rugged + Waterproof to 10 m
Completely waterproof and as tough as ever, HERO12 Black is ready to capture the fun on any adventure. Its legendary durability can take a beating and keep going, whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (down to 10 m). A water-repelling lens cover even helps eliminate lens flare and other artefacts to make your photos and videos even more stunning.
2x Longer Runtime
HERO12 Black’s dramatically improved battery efficiency combines with the included 1,720-mAh Enduro battery to deliver a huge 2x increase in 5.3K60 video runtime on each charge. You’ll get 70 minutes of continuous recording at 5.3K60 (our highest setting), plus over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p30. Using advanced technology, Enduro also boosts performance in cold temperatures over previous GoPro cameras and batteries.
High Dynamic Range Video + Photo
HERO12 Black takes its best-in-class image quality to the next level with HDR for both videos (5.3K and 4K) and photos. Great in environments with both shadows and bright light, HDR captures the subtle details of the scene that might typically blend into the darkness of shadows or disappear in the bright spots of your shot. The result is dynamic footage with true-to-life colour and precision.
Unbelievable Image Quality
With 5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p, HERO12 Black captures the action with crisp detail and cinematic image quality with High Dynamic Range (HDR) while also taking 27-MP photos. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7 MP of your favourite shots from your videos using the GoPro Quik app.
Up to 8x Slo-Mo
Everything is more amazing in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you record the action at up to 8x slo-mo at resolutions up to 2.7K for playback at normal speed or in super-fluid slow motion to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see with the naked eye.
Emmy Award- Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilisation
HyperSmooth continues to set the bar for insanely smooth footage and has the hardware to back it up—a 2021 Emmy for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilisation. HERO12 Black makes it even better by maximising HyperSmooth AutoBoost performance with more stabilisation while still delivering less image cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get amazing pet POV shots—even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth.
