GoPro Hero12 + LensMod 2.0 Bundle

Rugged + Waterproof to 10 m

Completely waterproof and as tough as ever, HERO12 Black is ready to capture the fun on any adventure. Its legendary durability can take a beating and keep going, whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (down to 33ft/10m). A water-repelling lens cover even helps eliminate lens flare and other artifacts to make your photos and videos even more stunning.

2x Longer Runtime¹

HERO12 Black’s dramatically improved battery efficiency combines with the included 1720mAh Enduro battery to deliver a huge 2x increase in 5.3K60 video runtime on each charge. You’ll get 70 minutes of continuous recording at 5.3K60 (our highest setting), plus over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of continuous recording at 1080p30.⁶ Using advanced technology, Enduro also boosts performance in cold temperatures over previous GoPro cameras and batteries.

High Dynamic Range Video + Photo

HERO12 Black takes its best-in-class image quality to the next level with HDR for both videos (5.3K and 4K) and photos. Great in environments with both shadows and bright light, HDR captures the subtle details of the scene that might typically blend into the darkness of shadows or disappear in the bright spots of your shot. The result is dynamic footage with true-to-life color and precision.

Unbelievable Image Quality

With 5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665% more than 1080p, HERO12 Black captures the action with crisp detail and cinematic image quality with High Dynamic Range (HDR) while also taking 27-MP photos. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7 MP of your favourite shots from your videos using the GoPro Quik app.

Up to 8x Slo-Mo

Everything is more amazing in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you record the action at up to 8x slo-mo at resolutions up to 2.7K for playback at normal speed or in super-fluid slow motion to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see with the naked eye.

Emmy Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilisation

HyperSmooth continues to set the bar for insanely smooth footage and has the hardware to back it up — a 2021 Emmy for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilisation. HERO12 Black makes it even better by maximising HyperSmooth AutoBoost performance with more stabilisation while still delivering less image cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get amazing pet POV shots — even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth.

360° Horizon Lock

Give your videos the look of professional productions by keeping the horizon steady, straight and smooth. HERO12 Black’s Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens keeps your footage steady even if your camera rotates a full 360° during capture. Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon Lock gives you super smooth footage that looks perfectly straight when you want it to. You won’t need a gimbal or stabilization software for pro-quality results.

Extra-Large Field of View

HERO12 Black’s powerful image sensor delivers the most expansive field of view ever on a HERO camera out of the box. It features extra-large 8:7 aspect ratio footage that gets more of the sky and horizon in each shot—giving you a huge canvas for your creativity. Simply use the GoPro Quik app to zoom in, crop and edit your shots while keeping the rich textures and sharpness of your footage. HERO12 Black takes 8:7 a step further with HyperView. This GoPro-exclusive digital lens takes 8:7 footage and serves it up as a wideangle 16:9 shot. The result is ultra-immersive video that amps up action-oriented POV footage by capturing more of you and your surroundings.

Compatible with the New Max Lens Mod 2.0⁷

Add Max Lens Mod 2.0 to HERO12 Black to transform it into the ultimate POV camera with the widest field of view (FOV) ever on a HERO camera, at 177° (up from the 155° FOV of the original Max Lens Mod). With a 36% larger field of view (FOV) for widescreen capture and 48% larger for vertical capture,⁸ it delivers the most immersive video in stunning 4K60 resolution and the highest stabilization, Max HyperSmooth. You’ll also get Horizon Lock for all lenses, plus 1080p120 video for ultra stable 4x slo-mo footage with a maxed out FOV.

8-Bit, 10-Bit + Log Video

HERO12 Black lets you choose between capturing 8-bit, 10-bit or Log video. Capable of displaying over 1 billion colours, 10-bit colour delivers enhanced colour depth, smoother gradations and more realism in your videos, while 8-bit offers smaller file sizes. Advanced users can use Log to get more detail in their footage while making necessary colour adjustments in post-production.

Timecode Sync

Advanced users with more than one HERO12 Black can sync them with the exact same timecode to make multi-camera editing a lot easier. It works with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier and other editing software to further streamline post-production.

Bluetooth Audio Connectivity

Bluetooth audio lets you wirelessly connect HERO12 Black to compatible devices. Vloggers will be able connect to a wireless external microphone for enhanced audio when narrating a scene or conducting interviews. By connecting to your wireless earbuds, your GoPro will be able to hear your voice commands in noisy settings or when it’s mounted out of earshot. You’ll also be able to hear camera alerts through your earbuds to confirm that it got the command and is doing what you want.

Night Effects Time Lapse + Photo

The HERO12 Black features 3 time lapse and photo modes that let you get creative after dark. Star Trails uses the Earth’s rotation and the stars to capture beautiful light trails across the night sky. Light Painting lets you create brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Vehicle Light Trails uses night-time traffic to record stunning light trail shots.

Power Tools With New Interval Photo

Nail shots the easy way with Power Tools. The new interval photo feature can be set to capture all the action by snapping photos at fixed intervals while you stay focused on your favourite activities. HindSight captures up to 30 seconds of footage before you start recording—even if you press the shutter too late, you’ll still get the shot. There’s also Scheduled Capture, which lets you set your GoPro to turn itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance, and Duration Capture, which makes it easy to capture video clips from 15 seconds to 3 hours long.

Highlight Videos Automatically Sent to Your Phone ²

Simply plug in your GoPro when connected to your home Wi-Fi. While it’s charging, your footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud and used to make a highlight video complete with beat-synced music and effects. Videos are automatically sent to your phone and ready to share.

You can tweak the automatic highlight videos created by the app or make your own videos from scratch. You also have the flexibility to change digital lenses in your photos and videos after recording. Switch from the ultra-immersive HyperView lens to SuperView, wide or linear to create the exact shot you want, then turn it into an extra-tall social media post or go widescreen for YouTube. You can also zoom in on the best sections of your videos to create high-resolution punchouts that focus on the action while cropping out the rest and grab photos up to 24.7 MP from your videos.

Widescreen, Vertical + Full-Screen Capture

HERO12 Black’s Easy Controls make it easier than ever to get the exact the shot you need. You can quickly swap between recording widescreen footage (16:9 aspect ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or YouTube and vertical videos (9:16 aspect ratio) for watching on your phone or posting on social media. For maximum flexibility, the full-screen option records in the ultra-versatile 8:7 aspect ratio. This captures more of the scene and lets you crop and zoom in without losing the details of your shot. This makes it perfect for creating widescreen and tall shots for playback on your phone with the GoPro Quik app.

Easy Hands-Free Capture
