GoPro Hero 12 Black: 15 New Things To Know!



Here’s everything you need to know about the GoPro Hero 12 Black, from all the new features to footage and plenty more. I’ll be covering everything listed below in this initial look at the unit:

– Doubled the battery runtime (depending on mode, and a 100% increase in 5K/30 to 70 minutes, only 16% increase in 4K/30)
– Added GoPro Max Lens Mod 2.0 support (with 4K resolution vs previous 2.7K)
– Added support for Bluetooth headphones/mic (e.g. using your AirPods as a mic)
– Added voice commands via Bluetooth mics too
– Added/returned ability to see recording preview on phone app
– Added 1/4-20 mounting thread on bottom of unit
– Added support for up to four concurrent Bluetooth devices (e.g. Volta grip, remote, app etc…)
– Added HyperSmooth 6.0 with expanded AutoBoost (4x the data analysis)
– Added 8:7 in more modes, notably TimeWarp/Timelapse/Night Lapse/Night Effects
– Expanded Horizon Lock feature across more modes
– Added new HDR video mode
– Added GP-LOG (and LUT’s) for increased raw data from cameras and better color grading
– Added Timecode Sync
– Added more Vertical video shooting modes (more of a UI change than anything)
– Added night effects (star/light trails/etc) for photo mode (previously only created videos)
– Added new interval photo mode (different than timelapse photo, explained below)
– Revamped Easy Controls options to make them less sucky
– Removed GPS entirely (it’s gone)

  1. Absolutely insane that they used analytics data from their crappy app to "determine" that few people use GPS. NO ONE who uses the GPS uses their app. CRAZY decision. I had bought every GP since the 5. No 12 for me.

  2. Any chance you could post a clip of the Max Lens mod in Fisheye mode? what video and frame rate options are available if i wanted to shoot and capture full-circle fisheye?

  3. I am done with GoPro cameras. GoPro is not new to me. I have had just about every GoPro camera that has been made. My Hero 11 Black Mini will often shut down after recording from 12 to 15 minutes. It runs hot and shuts down. I had the first DJI Osmo Action and it never ran hot. I have had the DJI Pocket 2 since it was released in November 2020. It has never ran hot.

  4. DC Rainmaker: Your video seems to have some weird lighting. It looks a bit faded. Too much light? Thought I had something wrong with my monitor. I miss a little warmth in your studio. Otherwise a good video.

  7. This is a big bummer that GPS is missing and no way to add it optional. I did choose the DJI Osmo Action 4 with additional (optional) GPS because I mostly use it while I ride my motorbike or use it on my mountainbike. A GoPro without GPS is an absolut show stopper for me. Byebye GoPro Brand.
