Capture
Anything,

All-New HDR Video
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Video delivers greater detail and color in highlights and is now available in 5.3K and 4K60.
One shot. Share anywhere.
Shoot in new Vertical Capture and share right to social media—no need to rotate the camera or use special mounts. Capture in Wide Screen for playback on TVs and other wide-screen formats. Or, capture in Full Frame and decide later, in the Quik app, where you can crop, zoom, even change digital lenses while editing.
10-Bit Color
10-bit color enables enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism. And pro creators can use GP-Log encoding with LUT to max out dynamic range before applying color correction.
HyperSmooth 6.0 continues to raise the bar for in-camera video stabilization, giving you impossibly smooth footage no matter how rough it gets. And it’s winning awards, too—an Emmy® Award for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization.
AutoBoost
With HyperSmooth 6.0, HERO12 Black automatically ensures you get the widest shots possible while using video stabilization depending on your speed and movement in the scene.
Built-In Horizon Lock
Horizon Lock is a built-in part of HyperSmooth 6.0, so it’s easier than ever to keep the horizon steady and consistent when your camera rotates a full 360°
5+ Hours of
Total Runtime
The cold-weather Enduro Rechargeable Battery is included, and combines with the powered grip to give you 35% longer runtimes of 4K30 recording
Directional Audio
Prioritize audio in front of the camera or behind it, plus wind reduction so dialogue and commentary come through crystal clear. Plus you can record from the directional mic and the camera mic simultaneously for better quality audio.
New Bluetooth Audio Support
Now you can use your Apple AirPods, Bluetooth earbuds or other wireless mics during interviews or narration. You can also give voice commands remotely and hear alerts from your camera.
Compact, Powerful Lighting
From sunrise to sunset, indoors or outdoors, the detachable LED light provides smooth, even lighting in a range of conditions. The included diffuser provides even more control.
New TimeCode Sync
Wirelessly synchronize multiple HERO12 Blacks via timecode in the Quik app. It’s perfect for when you want to capture an activity from multiple angles and then make precise, match-frame edits in post-production. Use matching timecode clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and other applications that support multi-camera editing for your next project.
Ready for More Expansion
Creator Edition features 2 cold-shoe mounts and a micro HDMI port so you can go even further with gear you already have. Got your own mic? There’s a 3.5mm mic port, too.
