More people know of action cameras by the term “GoPro” than their actual term. Moreover, the company has been so consistently good with its products that they are comfortably the best in the category. The company managed to reinvent itself once again on September 13th as it released the Hero 12 Black.
The Hero 12 Is A Major Improvement On What Was Already Amazing
GoPro’s Hero 12 has promised a massive increase in battery life, along with improved stabilization while filming. It also features new accessories in the form of lenses for wide-angle shots as well as new applications and tools for content creators to play with. This includes vertical capture – a feature that recorders can use to capture videos with a vertical frame, like the format you saw on Instagram Reels and TikTok.
The Hero 12 comes with a price tag of $399.99, and almost every review so far says it is completely justified. In fact, it will be a wise decision to invest in upgrading to the Hero 12 from the Hero 11 even if the newer model no longer supports GPS data. After all, this loss allows it to boast its superior battery life. The newer model’s runtime is twice as long as its predecessor. It can also sync with audio devices via Bluetooth and support timecode encoding.
Using the device remains as easy as is characteristic of the GoPro line. The quick controls have actually even received an upgrade with the purpose of making the user experience even more foolproof. One of the very few downsides is the default Quick app by GoPro. The application struggles quite a bit when it comes to editing video files that are longer in length. This included freezing or crashing outright during the editing.
