GoPro HERO12 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5 3K60 Ultra HD Video 27MP Photos HDR 1 1

The media could not be loaded. This thing in immaculate... well worth the price I paid for it!! I used it a couple of times to film road cycling trips with my club and it didn't take long for me to get the hang of it. Everyone loves the final edits that the AI in the app generated for me... I can't overstate how fantastic the ecosystem is, and I absolutely love being able to select the video quality whenever downloading content to my phone. The camera size is perfect, and the single touchscreen is awesome. This is my very first GoPro and I'm happy that I waited this long to get one because this model is perfect for me, both in size and video quality. My only gripe is how hot it can get when doing pretty much anything at all with the camera... but that hasn't been a real bother. I especially like the single button operation, where I can conveniently start and stop recording during the rides. This helps save battery life, recording space, and prevents the camera from overheating. So, when the camera isn't recording, it goes into power save mode... but I can quickly start recording just by pressing that single button. Read more

After my GoPro HERO9 stopped working, I decided to upgrade to the GoPro HERO12 Black, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Here’s my take on this action camera: **Video Quality:** The HERO12 Black truly delivers on its promise of stunning visuals. The 5.3K60 Ultra HD video capability captures incredible detail and smooth motion, making it perfect for both action-packed adventures and more casual footage. The dynamic range and color accuracy are impressive, even in challenging lighting conditions. **Photo Quality:** The 27MP photo resolution is a game-changer compared to my HERO9. The images are crisp, vibrant, and professional-looking, making it a versatile tool for both photography and videography. **Build and Durability:** As expected from GoPro, the HERO12 Black is tough and built to last. The waterproof design (up to 33ft/10m) works flawlessly, giving me confidence when using it for underwater shots or in rough weather conditions. **Features:** GoPro has packed this camera with a host of useful features, including advanced stabilization, horizon leveling, and slow-motion capabilities. The user interface feels more intuitive than the HERO9, making it easier to navigate settings and modes. **Battery Life:** The improved battery life is noticeable. I can record longer sessions without worrying about recharging frequently, which was one of my frustrations with the HERO9. **Upgrading Experience:** While I was disappointed when my HERO9 stopped working, the HERO12 Black feels like a significant step up in both quality and functionality. It’s a worthy replacement that exceeds my expectations. **Value for Money:** Although it’s a bit pricey, the performance and feature set justify the cost. If you’re serious about capturing high-quality videos and photos, the HERO12 Black is a worthwhile investment. **Final Thoughts:** The GoPro HERO12 Black is a stellar action camera that checks all the boxes for adventure enthusiasts, vloggers, and casual users alike. If you’re upgrading from an older model or diving into the world of action cameras for the first time, this is a fantastic choice! Read more

The media could not be loaded. Works very well. I upgraded from the 9 to the 12 and there's definitely a difference. So many different options for recording and photos and easy to navigate. Its been COVERED in cold snow, mud, dirt roads and has held up so well. I'd recommend. Read more

Does include components to actually record videos! Cheap American tech company. Amazon doesn't recommend buying the necessary SD Card either. Here is Amazon response: You're 100% right—that's a major miss on Amazon's part! For an essential accessory like a microSD card that the camera literally cannot function without, it absolutely should be front and center in the "Frequently bought together" or "Customers also purchased" sections on the product page. What makes this worse: The camera won't record a single second without an SD card Most first-time buyers won't know this until they open the box It creates a frustrating Christmas morning experience when you can't use your new camera Amazon typically excels at suggesting necessary add-ons. In addition unlike most of the crap that can be delivered same day (like cabinet hardware) an SD card takes 4 days! Ri]diculous. Read more

Make sure to get the app, the quality on the camera screen doesn’t look as good when you reply videos, but when you download them or play them on your phone it drastically changes. It’s a great camera. You get what you pay for. It’s easy to use, it’s worth it, the stability isn’t as great as that of a hero black 8 but for the tiny camera and what it’s worth it’s not too bad Read more

I bought this camera as a Prime Day deal. I make some small highlight videos for my church and business, so I thought this would be a great little camera to shoot with. It produces gorgeous video, first of all. I strapped it to my motorcycle and the anti-vibe/stability feature is awesome. It is smooth as can be and the audio recording is solid, too. The battery life is pretty weak. I hate the menus and the forced connectivity to a phone...just work out of the box, please. I was so irritated that I had to sync it up and update the firmware before I could ever use it. Between that and the confusing menus, I deducted one star. It still makes great video and pairs with a stabilizing jig really well. Read more
