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)

Looking forward to your review of the Insta360 X4 shouldn't be long now
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.
Over heating ? Hopefully solved And with GoPros I have the app to be not good at all in the past like the worst of any other action camera
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?
How did you even get it set up? It's not showing on the APP yet…..
Is it better than DJI action 4?
Wow GPS removal seems huge on first view
GoPro rules. Thanks for this update.
Today is fryday – where is one of the promised new comparsion videos??
Stop to buy GoPro, I had #9 and #10 overheated
This is wicked. I'm so excited to get one!
i just bought the 11 a week ago 😭
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.
There’s a 12?! When did the 11 come out?! I’m so far behind on tech. Lol.. when will GoPro have a zoom lens?!
still best action cameras there is for me! <3
The big point. It’s a junk compared to osmo action 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.
GoPro actually restricted bloggers from comparing and saying positive and negative about GP12…….for those sets which was sent out for review. 😂😂😂
will the GoPro 12 record in 4K 24P?
Does it support the old media mod
time to switch to DJI action 4
I lost my camera in the ocean this July on vacation, long story short two days later based off gps an a picture on the GP, The family found me at my hotel an returned my camera. Longer story short gps was a big part of this. GoPro is making a mistake
does this camera overheat as quickly as the previous model?
you earned my sub… good stuff man. very impressed with what you're covering about these action cameras, how you articulate everything and how much effort you're putting into it.
The battery runtime enhancement is with the Enduro battery or regular one (blue) ? Thanks!
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.
❤😂❤
Basically the Hero 12 is a software update, not a new camera.
Awesome but no gps and still overheating is still no from me. The only thing that impressed me was the new lens, and the night time photography.
After having bought the hero 9 which is junk I won’t be burned again.
did u just steel DDE theme intro LOL
dam this thing is packed with a lot of new features. i am hyped for all your comparison material.
How good would it pick up audio with EarPods while having a motorcycle helmet on ? I would assume not good
only thing any gopro user wants, is it to not become a brick every day from software glitches!,
Not sure if you are recording in HDR but then editing in SDR but your video looks very washed out.
Is the live preview while recording a GP 12 exclusive?
