Introducing the new HERO12 Black
The best HERO camera we’ve ever made — HERO12 Black takes GoPro’s best-in-class image quality to the next level with new HDR (High Dynamic Range) 5.3K and 4K video, upgraded HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization and an industry-leading 177° field-of-view with Max Lens Mod 2.0. Other new features include a totally redesigned power management system for improved thermal performance and up to 2x longer runtimes1, and Bluetooth audio support for Apple AirPods and other headphones to record sound and give remote voice commands. There are also pro-level features like wirelessly synchronizing multiple HERO12s via timecode, advanced color controls, and more. HERO12 wraps all of this into GoPro’s legendary waterproof, ultra-rugged design to ensure you get the shot, no matter the environment.

Water-Repelling Lens Cover
Hydrophobic lens sheds water to keep your shots crystal clear when you’re in the water.
Emmy®-Winning 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.
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.
Built-In Horizon Lock

177° In 4K60
New to Max Lens Mod 2.0, Max HyperView delivers a 177° field of view—that’s the widest view available in a GoPro, even compared to GoPro MAX shooting in single-lens mode—in stunning 4K60.

Larger Image Sensor
Lets You Do More
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.
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
