HERO12 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, HDR, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

I come from a gopro hero 301 and its fantastic, well.. i should say the battery it's not like i thought in 4k 30fps lasts about 1 hour of recording but 60fps reduces tu 30-40 minutos and it's starting to get warm very warm, but the quality its great i love the stabilization and the quality of the video, normally i record in 5.3k 30fps Angular for record my trips, I have been trying the hyperview but I think it is for other uses, maybe think about buying the lens 2.0 mod to have the superview with horizon lock, which is a great feature, the hdr from the standar video its looks the same thing ( maybe if you recording with the hdr inside your car and recording in the front maybe the sky looks better ) but one solution what i found its connect a powerbank (anker) and its works! for long trips in my bike or just sequence videos. Oh i forget the automatic upload to the cloud of gopro makes the camera too hot, i think about it and maybe upload manually in browser... ---update---- 2024-02-19 The camera is fantastic, it has excellent recording and stabilization, I use it on my bicycle on the handlebars I had a problem with heating, I could only last about 45 minutes recording at 4k 60fps, now what I did was buy a battery cover that has a hole in the charger, and I connected an Anker 10k portable battery, and that's how I solved the problem of the warming up, and I can record up to 5 hours with that battery. Also with the upload to the cloud, I had problems connecting to my new ax55 archer router, I detected that it was the 160Mhz frequency that created a conflict and did not allow me to connect, what I did was lower the router to 80Mhz and it started to upload, and the heating is the same there is no way, just take out the battery and connect it there if it remains normal, but regarding the wifi I activated the 160Mhz again and it remained connected and the upload finished, I have not yet tried again to see if it goes back up without making that change in the router.

Much of the GoPro is first class. The features are numerous and the most common are easy to get to. I'm impressed with how the Quik phone app works so far. Given that you mount the thing in ways that make it hard to get to, the voice commands and use of the Quik app to control many functions is super useful. Now to the flaw: The charging is brain-dead! This is a serious problem though not fatal. The camera needs a 2 amp power supply that is NOT included. My Macbook supply does not have the needed rating so the GoPro will not charge from it. One every other USB C device I have, the charging on a weak power supply (lump) is just slower--where the GoPro simply refuses to charge! This means you need to carry around a special lump for it! I have USB ports in my car but none will work. This is a flaw that I hope they solve in the future since there is no reason a powered off device cannot charge from a low amperage (low wattage) supply, it will just charge slower. This high amperage (wattage) charging means the device is hot to the touch when charging. It uses a lot of power so it is also hot when running. There are ways to reduce the power it uses while running and I won't fault them for this, some things just take the juice. Given that the batteries can be swapped there seems no reason to force a fast charge. There is no reasonable excuse for NOT CHARGING slower on an under-powered lump, cmon GoPro!

Bought this to replace an old GoPro and they have come a long way. While some complain Hero12 and 11 are almost the same, I prefer the 12 because I don’t need the GPS function. The price was good and it is very easy to use. I am not crazy about the exterior case as far as appearance, but it is excellent quality. There is a speckled paint look (not sure how else to explain it) that I am not crazy about but ultimately it doesn’t matter so I still have 5 stars. The image quality is excellent and the battery life is much better than previous models I have owned. I am tired of companies always trying to get you to subscribe to some service after paying a lot for a camera but it is optional. Over all I think this is the best action camera out there and recommend it.

I first used a Go Pro back in March when I went shark diving for my birthday. The place we went shark diving at loaned us each a Go Pro to use while diving. I loved it so much I went out and bought me one. I take it with me all the time when going hiking, swimming, Jeepin’, all my adventures!! One of my favorite things about the Go Pro is the ease of syncing photos. As long as you buy the protective case I truly believe it’s worth the money. I have one of the clear waterproof cases they used when we were shark diving (bought it same day I bought the camera) and that has been tested to be waterproof but I wouldn’t tru just the camera simply because of how much it costs. The sound on the camera is great. Picture quality is great as long as you face away from the sun, I’ve found every photo I’ve taken facing the sun is totally ruined and not just a glare in part of the photo. Very pleased with the quality.

I would give it 5 stars but I have one complaint - Charging the battery while recording causes the camera to overheat and shut down. Best to bring it into the house to recharge it. Also, heed the warnings about using only GoPro batteries!!! I didn't and my 2nd GoPro was destroyed!! I hate Self-inflicted disasters!

This camera exceeded my expectations. I am still discovering features built in. A wonderful asset.

Extremely portable and easy to use. It can be charged via USB-C and has enough battery life to last the entire day. Batteries can be easily changed out, and it is durable. It performs reasonably well in low light, and the built-in mic is good enough to capture audible dialogue in crowded places.

Tudo nos conformes, entrega rápido e confiável.

I’ve been using the GoPro HERO12 Black, and honestly, I love this thing. From the moment I took it out of the box, it felt like a solid, well-built camera—classic GoPro durability but with a more refined feel. Setup was quick and painless, and the menus are straightforward even if you’re not super techy. The video quality is the standout. The stabilization is insane—everything looks buttery smooth even when you’re moving fast or on uneven ground. Colors are sharp, footage looks clean, and it handles different lighting conditions way better than older GoPros I’ve used. Battery life is noticeably improved too, which was a big surprise since that’s always been a weak spot. I can actually record longer sessions now without worrying. Overall, the HERO12 Black delivers exactly what I hoped for: great video, great stabilization, and a “grab and go” feel that makes filming easy. If you want a dependable action camera that just works and makes everything look good, this one is absolutely worth it. Pros: Excellent stabilization Sharp, high-quality video Improved battery life Durable and compact Cons: None major so far — price might be the only thing for some

Everything was included even the SD card which I didn't thought it had... It's good quality works well and value for money!!! Also easy to use.. (Yes it does heats up but I think most cameras do heat so yeah it's normal I guess)

Very good quality video you can take.

It's super good, just one down side it overheats a bit on high fps so it takes some tweaking in the settings to record long videos, other than that i love it works perfectly
