All-in-One
Creative Solution |
The HERO12
Black Creator Edition combines HERO12 Black, the best GoPro camera ever made,
with the mounts and accessories you need to tell your story right out of the
box. It includes Volta (Battery Grip / Tripod / Remote), Media Mod and Light
Mod that seamlessly come together in a powerful creative solution that
delivers stunning pro-quality footage and the versatility to capture a wide
variety of photos and videos in an ultra portable design that’s light enough
to comfortably carry through an all-day production. |
All-Day
Capture + Enduro Battery |
The
HERO12 Black Creator Edition combines HERO12 Black’s advanced Enduro battery
with the power of the Volta grip to give you a total of 6620mAh of power.
Combined with HERO12 Black’s improved power management, you’ll get 35% more
runtime for a total of over 5 hours of continuous 4K30 recording (1)—enough
to capture a full day of video clips. The 1720mAh Enduro also dramatically
improves cold weather performance so you can power through ski, snowboard and
other winter shots. |
High Dynamic
Range Video + Photo |
The
HERO12 Black Creator Edition takes its best-in-class image quality to the
next level with High Dynamic Range (HDR) for both videos (5.3K and 4K) and
photos. Great in environments with both shadows and bright light, HDR
captures the subtle details of the scene that might typically blend into the
darkness of shadows or disappear in the bright spots of your shot. The result
is dynamic footage with true-to-life color and precision. |
Unbelievable
Image Quality |
With
5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665%
more than 1080p, the HERO12 Black Creator Edition captures the action with
crisp detail and cinematic image quality with High Dynamic Range (HDR) while
also taking 27MP photos. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7MP of
your favorite shots from videos using the GoPro Quik app. |
Up to 8x
Slo-Mo |
Everything
is more awesome in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you record the action at up
to 8x slo-mo at resolutions up to 2.7K for playback at normal speed or in
super fluid slow motion to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see
with the naked eye. |
Emmy® Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilization |
HyperSmooth
continues to set the bar for insanely smooth footage and has the hardware to
back it up—a 2021 Emmy® for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization. The
HERO12 Black Creator Edition makes it even better by maximizing HyperSmooth
AutoBoost performance with more stabilization while still delivering less
image cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get
awesome pet POV shots—even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth. |
360° Horizon
Lock |
Give
your videos the look of professional productions by keeping the horizon
steady, straight and smooth. The HERO12 Black Creator Edition’s Linear +
Horizon Lock digital lens keeps your footage steady even if your camera
rotates a full 360° during capture (3). Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon
Lock gives you super smooth footage that looks perfectly straight when you
want it to. You won’t need a gimbal or stabilization software for pro-quality
results. |
8-Bit, 10-Bit
+ Log Encoding |
The
HERO12 Black Creator Edition lets you choose between capturing 8-bit, 10-bit
or Log encoding with GP-Log. Capable of displaying over 1 billion colors,
10-bit color delivers enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more
realism in your videos, while 8-bit offers smaller file sizes. Advanced users
can use GP-Log to get more detail in their footage while making necessary
color adjustments in post-production. |
Timecode Sync |
Advanced
users with more than one HERO12 Black can sync them with the exact same
timecode to make multi-camera editing a lot easier. It works with Final Cut
Pro, Adobe Premier and other editing software to further streamline
post-production. |
Extra-Large
Field of View |
HERO12
Black’s powerful image sensor delivers the most expansive field of view ever
on a HERO camera out of the box. It features extra-large 8:7 aspect ratio
footage that gets more of the sky and horizon in each shot—giving you a huge
canvas for your creativity. Simply use the GoPro Quik app to zoom in, crop
and edit your shots while keeping the rich textures and sharpness of your
footage. HERO12 Black takes 8:7 a step further with HyperView. This
GoPro-exclusive digital lens takes 8:7 footage and serves it up as a
wide-angle 16:9 shot. The result is ultra immersive video that amps up
action-oriented POV footage by capturing more of you and your surroundings. |
Widescreen, Vertical + Full Screen Capture |
HERO12
Black’s Easy Controls make it easier than ever to get exactly the shot you
need. You can quickly swap between recording widescreen footage (16:9 aspect
ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or YouTube and vertical videos (9:16
aspect ratio) for watching on your phone or posting on social media. For
maximum flexibility, the full screen option records in the ultra versatile
8:7 aspect ratio. This captures more of the scene and lets you crop and zoom
in without losing the details of your shot. This makes it perfect for
creating widescreen and tall shots for playback on your phone with the GoPro
Quik app. |
1-Handed
Control + Remote |
Integrated
camera buttons on the grip give you easy one-handed control of your camera:
power on and off, start and stop capture, and switching modes. You can even
detach the camera from the grip and use the grip as a wireless remote to
control your camera from up to 98ft (30m) away (6). |
