Building on the successful performance of its predecessor, HERO12 Black offers up to twice the battery life, thanks to its redesigned power management system.  It captures high dynamic range (HDR) video in market-leading 5.3K and 4K resolution and boasts an improved HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization feature.

Notably, the camera includes several new professional-oriented capabilities that benefit casual users.  These include:

Wireless Timecode Sync: Professionals can sync an unlimited number of HERO12 Black cameras for easy multi-camera editing in programs like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier.

Optimized Encoding: The new system delivers smaller file sizes without compromising image quality.

The HERO12 Black camera is being released alongside an additional accessory, the Max Lens Mod 2.0.  This new add-on provides a 177-degree field of view while maintaining a 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.  The design of this accessory aims to make it easier for users to capture wide-angle perspectives, enhancing the range of visual storytelling possibilities for various types of adventures and activities.

To enhance the user experience further, GoPro announced the upcoming launch of its new Quik desktop app.  The app will be available to GoPro subscribers at no additional cost starting from November 1 for Mac and Summer 2024 for Windows.  It will sync with the Quik mobile app for seamless cross-platform editing and content management.

"HERO12 Black resets the bar for immersive life-capture," said Nicholas Woodman, CEO and Founder of GoPro.  The camera is GoPro's latest development in a 21-year history of producing devices to document and share life experiences.
