5.0 out of 5 stars As A First Time Owner: Very Impressive Features, Capabilities & Expandability.
I’ve owned, and do own, a couple of action cameras, but this is my first Go Pro. As a new owner, my first impression, in a word: Impressive. Image quality, features, support, available information, accessories; the Go Pro Hero 12 is the result of a long lineage and a highly evolved eco-system. And it shows.The Go Pro Hero 12 Black is not Go Pro’s most recent iteration in the evolution of Go Pros, it’s last year’s model; Go Pro just recently released the Hero 13 Black. The physical dimensions between the two are exactly the same, with the main difference that the 13 accepts a line of interchangeable lenses, including an anamorphic lens. If that’s of interest, the reader may want to make a comparison between the two models.That said, there probably isn’t to much I can review about a year old Go Pro model that hasn’t already been said; that is a benefit of being a Go Pro owner, there’s plenty of information, support and third-party accessories available, notwithstanding, from Go Pro themselves. The camera, via its settings and preferences, is also highly customizable. There are also innumerable third-party accessories available, including ND and CPL filters.As delivered, the controls are set to “Easy” mode. This is for the inexperienced user of video cameras generally, and is basically a point and shoot setting; the camera determines exposure, white balance, shutter, iso, etc., all automatically. To unlock manual user control of all settings, the camera can be set to “Pro” mode, a mode for experienced users. There is a copious number of explanations and recommended best settings based on circumstances, all available on the internet. The preferred settings, each based on a specific use scenario, can be saved as presets, a very handy feature of the Hero 12. This allows presets for any scenario; daytime, nighttime, action, underwater, any group of settings can be saved as a preset, then instantly enabled with a screen tap.The Hero 12 has touch screen control. Preferences and settings are accessed with familiar screen swipes. One useful feature is that exposure can be locked to a specific area of the scene by holding a finger on the screen, a box will appear, then drag it to the area of interest, similar to some mobile phones, and exposure will be automatically based on the enclosed area of the scene. Besides what I would consider outstanding image quality, especially in 5.3K, the Hero 12’s Hyper Smooth feature practically does the job of a gimbal. That said, I noticed that leaving Hyper Smooth on while the camera is held still, on a tripod for example, causes it to get hot; I turn Hyper Smooth off in that case. There are also other scenarios in which Hyper Smooth is not appropriate; again, these can be managed with presets.There are five selectable FoV’s from super wide down to Linear+ (L+). Selecting L+ will remove barrel distortion and hold the horizon level regardless of changes in the cameras orientation; there is also Linear (L) that only removes distortion, but does not affect the horizon as the camera moves.For those that have post production editing skills, setting the mode to “Pro” allows access to HDR, Log profile and 10-bit recording. Recording in 10-bit requires plenty of memory and a fast card. If you do not have a card installed that the Hero 12 approves of, it’ll let you know. It’ll also overheat or just stop recording with a card installed that’s too slow. I found this out from experience. I finally installed a Sandisk Extreme Pro Micro sd card that it loves. If the Hero 12 doesn’t like the card you install, you’ll get a message stating as much on the screen. In addition, Go Pro has specific recommendations of cards based on Go Pro model. It’s a good idea to get one of those.An optional feature that’s less well known, and is free, is offered by Go Pro Labs. It’s the “Go Pro Labs Firmware” update; this special firmware unlocks additional advanced features that you wouldn’t even know were there. These include on-screen display of a histogram, ISO and shutter speed. Other settings allow for higher bit rates, audio gain controls, static shutter angles and a whole lot more. The list is long; it and the firmware can be found by searching Go Pro Labs. The firmware is easy to install and step by step instructions are provided by Go Pro. The firmware does not replace, but is in addition to the standard firmware; it doesn’t make any changes to current firmware or camera settings. However, the most powerful feature of the Go Pro Labs firmware is the creation custom QR codes as presets; bring up a custom QR code on your phone, show it to the Hero 12, and the coded settings are instantly adopted. This is an advanced feature for “Pro” setting users. Once the Go Pro Labs firmware is installed, a second app, QRControl, will need to be installed on the user’s mobile phone to take advantage of its features.The Go Pro incorporates an internal gyroscope that bakes its data right into created video files. This data allows stabilization to be added during post editing, for example by GyroFlow, a free, gyro-based video stabilization software tool. For example, Hyper Smooth doesn’t work well for night scenes. In that case, it can be turned off and the video stabilized in post using Gyroflow. Other scenarios might be when capturing with a slow shutter speed or an FPV setting. GryoFlow supports many other cameras besides Go Pros. It’s a powerful tool, and like I said, it’s free. If interested, find it on the web. Go Pro also has their own media player, Go Pro Player. For an additional fee, one can subscribe to their Premium+ plan, that includes Hyper Smooth Pro, another gyro-based image stabilization tool.Go Pro Quik is the app associated with the Hero 12. Camera settings can be accessed from the app as well as Live preview, along with video and camera operations. A fee-based cloud storage service, Premium or Premium+, is available for uploading media and auto editing of video highlights. A subscription also includes substantial discounts on Go Pro accessories and even on future Go Pro camera purchases. If you plan on purchasing accessories, it will likely pay for itself.As a new Go Pro owner, like I said at the beginning, I’m impressed with the imaging capabilities of this tiny device. And I’m still learning more about it as I use it. It’s obvious that Go Pro has gone to great lengths to make the Hero 12s’ powerful features accessible to the unsophisticated user, along with additional controls and advanced attributes for the experienced image maker. And of course, that includes access to a vast eco-system of information, tools and accessories. Moreover, it’s plain fun as a documentary tool.The Hero 12 is supplied with a battery, charging cable, and adhesive backed mounting hardware. The one I received arrived in “e-commerce” packaging, which I’m all for; it’s just going to get thrown away.
5.0 out of 5 stars great high resolution camera
I've never owned a GoPro before. So receiving one in an e-commerce package was not the best move on my part as it lacks any type of manual on how to fully utilize the camera to its fullest potentials. If you are a novice, I recommend this camera but do get the one with the regular packaging to save some time. Luckily, in this day and age, there are tons of videos out there you can search to learn how to maximize all the features this little lightweight camera has to offer. Set up was fairly simple. You need to download an ap and then sync the camera. From there, you can do the rest of the set up through the ap. Much easier than through the camera itself. The one downside of this camera package is that it did not come with a SD micro memory card to use if you don't want to pay for the cloud file saving feature through the ap. You can't just use any SD micro, it has to be one of those optimized kind. The 5.3K video and 27MP photo outputs of this camera are so smooth and crystal clear. It does take quite a bit of memory to store the photos and videos so I can see why one would elect to pay for the convenient cloud storage the GoPro ap offers. The added stabilization feature on the camera really helps when shooting videos on the move. I like how it is also waterproof (although I have yet to test this feature out). During one of our snorkeling trips, our guide used her GoPro Hero10 to help take underwater pictures of videos of our family. When she shared them with us, they looked so clear compared to the ones I took with my phone in a waterproof case. Can't wait to bring this even higher resolution GoPro Hero 12 along on my next snorkeling trip!
5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal And Still The Action Camera Standard
Note: If you’re looking for the latest and greatest, the newer GoPro Hero 13 is already available. Compare features and price before making your choice.I was a bit skeptical of this “E-Commerce” GoPro package, but when it arrived in its plain carboard box it was a genuine, brand new GoPro Hero 12 Black with factory brand Enduro battery. I’ve used a GoPro Hero 8 for several years and was looking forward to a higher resolution upgrade with more features, and so far the Hero 12 has not disappointed! I’m still putting it through its paces but this new GoPro is exceeding all my expectations so far. A couple smaller annoyances are that I don’t like the camera itself being its own battery charger (via an internal USB C port), and when I first turned it on I was not able to automatically update the date and time via the GoPro Quick app (I had to do it manually on the camera). However, once I had manually set the date and time all was good, and I was able to connect and update the camera firmware using the GoPro Quick app with no problem. One very minor annoyance of the “E-Commerce Packaging” is that it apparently attempts to copy Apple’s clever product packaging with removable paper wrappings, but they rip rather than peel satisfyingly off. However, the product is what counts, and this is the genuine article. Highly recommended if you are looking for a top quality, full-featured action camera that remains the undisputed industry standard.
5.0 out of 5 stars no sd card, no problem
i owned a HERO 3+ from a long time ago, and it's been there collecting dust after my roadtrip to yellowstone.This particular packaging isn't very beginner friendly. there's no SD card included (true there're plenty of affordable options out there, but it's not a true plug-and-play experience so to speak). mounting options are also limited from this package, but again, too many options out there.i think this is a good package for previous gopro owners, because all the accessories will work! or if you have a specific idea of customizing your gopro, then this "bare" kit would be a great fit.nonetheless, the product itself is superb. I mean I almost forgot how much I love about travelling and capturing those memories from trips, and gopro is way better than your phone in that regard. a bit of an investment for sure, but worth every penny IMO
