Best-in-class image quality, even better HyperSmooth video stabilization and a huge boost in battery performance come together in the world’s most versatile camera. It takes 5.3K video and adds HDR (High Dynamic Range) for even more detail. Tough and lightweight, it’s ready for anything on land or water while advanced stabilization keeps footage smooth over rough terrain.

Water-Repelling Lens Cover

Hydrophobic lens sheds water to keep your shots crystal clear when you’re in the water.

The best video stabilization system

HyperSmooth 6 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, Hero 12 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

Horizon Lock is a built-in part of HyperSmooth 6, so it’s easier than ever to keep the horizon level when your camera rotates a full 360°.

Ultra Wide-Angle Digital Lenses

HyperView and SuperView—both GoPro exclusive digital lenses—enable ultra wide 16:9 capture, standard in Hero 12 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.

New TimeCode Sync

Wirelessly synchronize multiple Hero 12 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.
