While Amazon Prime is only a week away I can’t see GoPro’s flagship getting any cheaper, so don’t get disappointed and pick up a great bargain now!
The GoPro Hero 12 Black, while maintaining many features of the Hero 11 Black, including the same sensor resolution, introduces several enhancements that make it a significant upgrade. Notably, it offers a new mounting option, supports Bluetooth microphones, features dual-channel audio, and introduces HDR video. These improvements make it an excellent choice for professionals and editors, earning it a spot in our best action camera roundup.
It retains the 27MP sensor of the Hero 11 Black and supports multiple aspect ratios, including 8:7, allowing you to capture stunning 5.3K/60p video. The Hero 12 Black performs best in well-lit conditions, continuing GoPro’s challenge with low-light performance. A lens mod is also available, providing an expansive 177º field of view.
New to the Hero 12 Black is Bluetooth audio support, enabling the use of any wireless headphones with a built-in microphone, such as AirPods, for recording narrations or voiceovers. Professionals will also appreciate the addition of Timecode Sync, GP-Log, and LUT support, enhancing its functionality for advanced video editing.
