Where to buy
GoPro Hero 12 Black at the best price?
A GoPro that excels in continuity
Like the Hero 11 Black and the Hero 10 Black before it, the GoPro Hero 12 Black does not bring any aesthetic changes, we do not change a formula that wins with the American manufacturer. It’s especially practical for regulars of the brand who don’t have to get used to a new action cam again. Here we have the same dimensions and the same weight as before, not to mention the same screens at the front and rear as well as the same traps in the same locations. The speckled coating is the only change here.
Another little new feature, which is very practical: a new screw thread, in addition to the two usual GoPro mounting rods, which allows you to quickly and easily screw the action cam to photo accessories without using the mountings. That’s it for the design changes. As for the interface, it is still intuitive, easy to use, the one dedicated to video settings has even benefited from a redesign to improve the user experience.
Still impressive video quality and stabilization
In terms of image quality, GoPro action cameras are simply the best on the market and this twelfth iteration only confirms it once again. The GoPro Hero 12 Black is capable of filming in 5.3K 60 fps definition, 4K 120 fps and 2.7K 240 fps and continues to perform well when the right lighting conditions are met. We mentioned above the arrival of HDR in video but it turns out to be less convincing than we hoped.
In terms of stabilization, the GoPro Hero 12 Black lives up to its predecessors. More precisely, the basic stabilization mode is so impressive that the new HyperSmooth 6.0 mode is not really useful. Other modes are included such as Time Lapse, Night Lapse, Time Warp and even a Light Painting mode which adds an additional touch of creativity to video production. Finally, in terms of autonomy, the GoPro Hero 12 Black lasts 72 minutes in 5.6K and 149 minutes in 1080p, the duration is doubled in certain modes compared to the Hero 11 Black.
