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—240 frames per second—at 2.7K.
Ultra Durable + Waterproof
Waterproof to 33 feet and built to take a beating.
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—an Emmy® Award for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization.
HERO12 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.
HERO12 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°.
HERO12 Max Lens Mod 2.0
Get the widest, tallest and most thrilling POV shots possible—including an ultra wide, industry-leading 177° 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.
HERO12 Now with longer runtimes
Thanks to its improved power management, HERO12 Black delivers 2x longer continuous recording at 5.3K60 (70 minutes)¹, plus over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p30.
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.
Shoot Wide Screen, Vertical or Full Frame
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.
HERO12 Ultra Wide-Angle Digital Lenses
HyperView and SuperView—both GoPro exclusive digital lenses—enable ultra wide 16:9 capture, standard in HERO12 Black. For even wider shots, consider the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory (see above).
156° Field of View in Full 8:7
The large image sensor also lets you capture a wide 156° field of view in a full-frame 8:7 aspect ratio, in 5.3K and 4K.
10-Bit Color
10-bit color enables enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism. And pro creators can use GP-Log encoding with LUT to max out dynamic range before applying color correction.
HERO12 New TimeCode Sync
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.
New Bluetooth Audio Support
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.
