Product Description
GoPro HERO12 Black Action Camera
GoPro’s most powerful HERO yet — built for creators, adventurers, and everything in between
The HERO12 Black from GoPro pushes action camera performance to new heights with stunning 5.3K HDR video, Emmy®-winning HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilisation, longer runtimes, and pro-level tools like Timecode Sync, GP-Log, and LUT support — all wrapped in GoPro’s legendary ultra-rugged, waterproof design.
Whether you’re filming action sports, travel, vlogs, or cinematic content, HERO12 Black delivers exceptional image quality, smoother footage, and smarter power management so you can stay focused on capturing the moment.
Jaw-Dropping Video Quality
Capture incredibly detailed footage with:
-
5.3K up to 60fps
-
4K up to 120fps
-
2.7K up to 240fps (for up to 8× slow motion)
5.3K offers 91% more resolution than 4K, giving you sharper images and more flexibility to crop in post. You can also grab 24.7MP stills from video, or shoot dedicated 27MP photos.
All-New HDR Video + Photo
HDR is now available in 5.3K and 4K60, delivering richer colours and greater highlight detail for more lifelike results.
HyperSmooth 6.0 + 360° Horizon Lock
GoPro’s Emmy®-winning HyperSmooth 6.0 delivers impossibly smooth footage even in the roughest conditions.
Key stabilisation features include:
-
AutoBoost – automatically keeps your shots as wide as possible while stabilising
-
Built-in Horizon Lock – keeps footage level even when the camera rotates a full 360°
Perfect for action sports, handheld shooting, and dynamic movement.
Bigger Sensor = More Creative Freedom
The larger image sensor captures an ultra-wide 156° field of view in 8:7, giving you maximum flexibility.
Choose how you shoot:
-
Wide Screen – traditional playback
-
Vertical Capture – ready for social media
-
Full Frame – decide your final crop later in the Quik app
HyperView and SuperView digital lenses are standard, and the optional Max Lens Mod 2.0 unlocks an incredible 177° ultra-wide field of view in 4K60.
Longer Runtimes with Smarter Power Management
Thanks to a redesigned power system and the included Enduro Rechargeable Battery, HERO12 Black delivers dramatically improved recording times:
-
Up to 70 minutes at 5.3K60
-
Over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30
-
Over 2.5 hours at 1080p30
Enduro also boosts performance in cold conditions, making HERO12 Black more reliable year-round.
