The GoPro Hero 12 Black has been the subject of numerous leaks over the past month, including an early eBay listing. GoPro has now formally unveiled the Hero 12 Black, confirming many of the specifications that had been leaked while also unveiling a number of new functions. Additionally, it has unveiled a Hero 12-only version 2.0 of its Max Lens Mod ultra-wide-angle lens accessory.
Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) for the majority of video resolutions, as well as for photographs, is a significant advance over the Hero 11, as it will enhance overall exposure in the diverse lighting circumstances one normally finds outside. With version 6.0, GoPro’s HyperSmooth video stabilisation technology has improved performance and produces less cropping while in use. Without physically tilting the camera, vertical aspect ratios are now possible with the new Vertical Capture mode.
Now that the Gopro Hero 12 can wirelessly record audio from gadgets like bluetooth earphones and mics
Recording narration and interviews is considerably easier. The continuous recording time is effectively doubled, increasing to 70 minutes at 5.3K60 thanks to an improved power management mechanism. The Hero 12 has timecode sync, which enables synchronising video from various cameras for professional editing.
A common tripod screw attachment (also known as a 1/4-20 mounting thread), a major feature despite the physical design being essentially identical to the Hero 11’s, has been included. Although the new Gopro Hero 12 adds a number of useful features, there isn’t a really revolutionary improvement. The 1/1.9″ sensor, which can capture up to 5.3K60 video and 27 MP images, remains the same, as do the weight, size, lens, both LCD displays, battery, and waterproof rating of 10 m/33 ft.
The new Max Lens Mod 2.0, which can be used at up to 4K60 and increases the field-of-view from 155° to an ultra-wide 177°, was introduced alongside the Gopro Hero 12. The stabilisation feature’s Max HyperSmooth is now accessible in all video settings. With a lens that is “2x more scratch-resistant,” waterproof to 5 m/16 ft when mounted, and coated to be water-repellent, the lens is lighter and smaller.
