The 5.3K resolution provides the highest video quality in its class, offering 91% more detail than 4K.
The HERO12 Black camera can also record in 4K, 2.7K and 1080p resolutions.
Record spectacular footage in 4x slow motion-120 frames per second-in ultra-high 4K resolution. You can also boost the effect to 8x slow motion-240 frames per second-at 2.7K resolution.
The HERO12 Black camera is waterproof to 10 meters and designed to withstand even the toughest conditions.
Special lens coating repels water for crystal clear images when recording in water.
HyperSmooth 6.0 technology sets a new standard for video stabilization, ensuring smooth footage even in the most demanding conditions. The quality is confirmed by the Emmy® award for sensor- and software-based stabilization.
With HyperSmooth 6.0, the HERO12 Black automatically adjusts the width of the frame, optimizing stabilization based on the speed and movement in a scene.
Horizon Lock is now an integral part of HyperSmooth 6.0, allowing the camera to maintain a perfectly level image even when fully rotating the camera 360°.
Record with a field of view 36% wider than the standard HERO12 Black4, allowing you to capture all the action while cycling or skiing. Dynamic speed and immersive effect in 4K60 quality.
New in Max Lens Mod 2.0: Max HyperView offers a 177° field of view-the widest available on GoPro cameras, even compared to GoPro's MAX single lens mode-and it's in incredible 4K60 quality.
The improved power management system allows twice as long recording at 5.3K60 (up to 70 minutes), as well as more than 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and more than 2.5 hours at 1080p30.
The HDR (High Dynamic Range) function provides more detail and better color reproduction in bright areas of the image. Available in 5.3K and 4K60 resolutions.
With one touch, switch between wide screen and vertical recording, depending on whether you're creating content for traditional screen or social media. You can also record in full frame, and adjust the final format later in the Quik app.
GoPro's exclusive HyperView and SuperView digital lenses provide a wide 16:9 recording angle, with the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 available for even wider shots.
Enjoy smooth and intuitive viewing on the rear touchscreen, and use the front LCD screen for selfies and vlogging.
