GoPro Hero12 Black Launching on September 13 with Next-Generation Upgrades

GoPro has recently announced its new Hero12 Black camera, which once again raises the bar again for the ultra-versatile action cameras the company is famous for. This newest flagship camera builds on the groundbreaking performance of its predecessor.

TheHero12 Black introduces several new capabilities, including up to 2x longer runtimes with a redesigned power management system, high dynamic range (HDR) 5.3K and 4K resolution video, and Bluetooth audio device compatibility.

Besides the improved HyperSmooth 6.0 video stabilization, the Hero12 Black also features a new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory, which enables a wide 177-degree field of view at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.

Max Lens Mod 2.0 can capture video and photos in three field-of-view settings: Max Wide, Max SuperView and the all-new Max HyperView. This allows for videos that are 36 per cent wider when capturing widescreen videos and 48 per cent taller when capturing vertical videos.

One of the most exciting additions is the wireless audio support for Apple AirPods and other Bluetooth audio devices such as earbuds, headphones and microphones. This is great for vlogging, scene narration and issuing voice commands to control the Hero12 Black from a distance.

There’s also an updated user interface, which includes simplified controls plus a new Vertical Capture Mode that captures vertical 9:16 aspect ratio video while the camera is mounted horizontally.

Besides the Hero12 Black, GoPro is also launching a new 48-inch-long extension pole that collapses to just 10 inches that is designed to work with Hero12 Black’s new mounting threads. It is also compatible with the Hero11 Black, Hero11 Black Mini, and Hero10 Black.

Included with the new extension pole is a detachable, wearable and waterproof Bluetooth shutter remote that makes it easy to control Hero12 Black’s shutter even when the pole is fully extended.

The all-new Extension Pole and Waterproof Shutter Remote will be available in October 2023. HERO12 Black (RM1,999.00) and Max Lens Mod 2.0 (RM519.00) will be available at select retailers around Malaysia on September 13, along with the HERO12 Black Creator Edition for RM2,999.00.
