It features High Dynamic Range (HDR) video and photo, a variety of aspect ratios (including full frame 8:7) and 10-bit encoding with GP-Log to deliver the best footage possible and maximum post-production flexibility. The versatile battery grip delivers over 5 hours of 4K recording time per charge¹ and features built-in buttons that let you comfortably control the camera during long shoots. This complete system also has a directional microphone that reduces ambient noise, Bluetooth audio for use with your wireless mic, an LED light and multiple options for transferring footage including wireless, wired and with your SD card.

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 recording1—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

Powerful LED Lighting
The HERO12 Black Creator Edition’s Light Mod lets you brighten the action and illuminate your next adventure with wide, even light. It features four levels of brightness (up to 200 lumens), plus Overdrive and strobe modes, and also works as a handy standalone light that can be used with GoPro mounts.

It also has its own built-in directional mic for enhanced voice capture with reduced ambient noise.

It also includes a removable foam mic cover that suppresses wind gusts up to 20 mph (32 kph).

Built-in Tripod
In addition to making it easy to hold and aim your camera, the HERO12 Black Creator Edition’s Volta grip has built-in tripod legs that easily flip out any time you need to set it down to capture stationary and hands-free shots. Swivel mounting fingers even let you rotate and tilt the camera to find just the right capture angle.
