I come from a gopro hero 301 and its fantastic, well.. i should say the battery it's not like i thought in 4k 30fps lasts about 1 hour of recording but 60fps reduces tu 30-40 minutos and it's starting to get warm very warm, but the quality its great i love the stabilization and the quality of the video, normally i record in 5.3k 30fps Angular for record my trips, I have been trying the hyperview but I think it is for other uses, maybe think about buying the lens 2.0 mod to have the superview with horizon lock, which is a great feature, the hdr from the standar video its looks the same thing ( maybe if you recording with the hdr inside your car and recording in the front maybe the sky looks better ) but one solution what i found its connect a powerbank (anker) and its works! for long trips in my bike or just sequence videos. Oh i forget the automatic upload to the cloud of gopro makes the camera too hot, i think about it and maybe upload manually in browser... ---update---- 2024-02-19 The camera is fantastic, it has excellent recording and stabilization, I use it on my bicycle on the handlebars I had a problem with heating, I could only last about 45 minutes recording at 4k 60fps, now what I did was buy a battery cover that has a hole in the charger, and I connected an Anker 10k portable battery, and that's how I solved the problem of the warming up, and I can record up to 5 hours with that battery. Also with the upload to the cloud, I had problems connecting to my new ax55 archer router, I detected that it was the 160Mhz frequency that created a conflict and did not allow me to connect, what I did was lower the router to 80Mhz and it started to upload, and the heating is the same there is no way, just take out the battery and connect it there if it remains normal, but regarding the wifi I activated the 160Mhz again and it remained connected and the upload finished, I have not yet tried again to see if it goes back up without making that change in the router. ... show more

    • Great Camera with One Flaw
Style: HERO12 Black
Much of the GoPro is first class. The features are numerous and the most common are easy to get to. I'm impressed with how the Quik phone app works so far. Given that you mount the thing in ways that make it hard to get to, the voice commands and use of the Quik app to control many functions is super useful. Now to the flaw: The charging is brain-dead! This is a serious problem though not fatal. The camera needs a 2 amp power supply that is NOT included. My Macbook supply does not have the needed rating so the GoPro will not charge from it. One every other USB C device I have, the charging on a weak power supply (lump) is just slower--where the GoPro simply refuses to charge! This means you need to carry around a special lump for it! I have USB ports in my car but none will work. This is a flaw that I hope they solve in the future since there is no reason a powered off device cannot charge from a low amperage (low wattage) supply, it will just charge slower. This high amperage (wattage) charging means the device is hot to the touch when charging. It uses a lot of power so it is also hot when running. There are ways to reduce the power it uses while running and I won't fault them for this, some things just take the juice. Given that the batteries can be swapped there seems no reason to force a fast charge. There is no reasonable excuse for NOT CHARGING slower on an under-powered lump, cmon GoPro! ... show more

    • Great Motorcycle Camera
Style: HERO12 Black
Bought this to replace an old GoPro and they have come a long way. While some complain Hero12 and 11 are almost the same, I prefer the 12 because I don’t need the GPS function. The price was good and it is very easy to use. I am not crazy about the exterior case as far as appearance, but it is excellent quality. There is a speckled paint look (not sure how else to explain it) that I am not crazy about but ultimately it doesn’t matter so I still have 5 stars. The image quality is excellent and the battery life is much better than previous models I have owned. I am tired of companies always trying to get you to subscribe to some service after paying a lot for a camera but it is optional. Over all I think this is the best action camera out there and recommend it. ... show more

    • Just better to record with an iphone
Style: HERO12 Black
I mean I had a GoPro 9 for the longest until I dropped it and cracked the screen so I just said I'll get a GoPRo 12...well I am not all the happy with it. My GoPRo 9 never overheated and never shut off during footage. I was recording with my GoPro 12 for 12 minutes and it overheated and shut off and then lost the files I was recording. The quality of the GoPro 12 is ok but not like an iphone. The Iphone has no match to it. I was at a concert trying to record and the results are horrific but I looked around seeing people use cellphones and get great results and even zooming in for great footage whereas the GoPro 12's zoom in sucks big time....u can not zoom as you record like an iphone. In other words, Go Pro in general really made my concert recording horrible...it came out grainy and looked so far away when I was up close...i mean everyone with cell phones was getting close ups and all kind of great footage...I thought the GoPro in 4K would be great...it couldn't even last through an hour concert without shutting down and the battery burning out after 30 minutes!!! I seen Iphones in front of me recording happily for 1 1/2 hours straight! Yeah, if you want anything more than a 10 minute video, do not use Go PRO 12 (especially in 4K)....I am really not happy....GoPro 12 works alright in certain conditions if you can be up on it, but as for zooming: forget about it! It is the worst! So, I very disappointed with this camera for doing any live shows. ... show more

    • My favorite and #1 hiking accessory
Style: HERO12 Black
I first used a Go Pro back in March when I went shark diving for my birthday. The place we went shark diving at loaned us each a Go Pro to use while diving. I loved it so much I went out and bought me one. I take it with me all the time when going hiking, swimming, Jeepin’, all my adventures!! One of my favorite things about the Go Pro is the ease of syncing photos. As long as you buy the protective case I truly believe it’s worth the money. I have one of the clear waterproof cases they used when we were shark diving (bought it same day I bought the camera) and that has been tested to be waterproof but I wouldn’t tru just the camera simply because of how much it costs. The sound on the camera is great. Picture quality is great as long as you face away from the sun, I’ve found every photo I’ve taken facing the sun is totally ruined and not just a glare in part of the photo. Very pleased with the quality. ... show more

    • Image quality is fantastic, but it's just not reliable...
Style: HERO12 Black
In short, I just can't use this as a reliable video camera. First time out, I used it to record a live performance. Camera lasted about 30 minutes and then shut down. It failed to record the second piece which I was performing in. I assumed my memory card wasn't big enough. However, the camera later upon power on confirmed it had shut down because it got too hot. This was a camera that at the event was sat inside on a wooden chair not in any direct sunlight recording video with a perfect view of the performance. Recording with audio in standard quality. The Audio and video it did record is great, but you can't replace an event which cannot be repeated and I thought the GoPro would be up to the job. I've since then tried using as a dash cam, but it either complained that the 5v USB cable voltage was incompatible! Or, on many other occassions it has just got too hot and shut down. Today driving home just 40 minutes. It shut down 10 minutes into the drive across town. In the later after picking up a friend it shut down for the second time about 15 minutes in. I've also tried using it to record other things, and often it works fine. However if you want it to record longer videos at least my one is utterly useless. For me, it fails to be able to complete most of the types of recordings I had in mind. This was my first GoPro, and even after all the research I had done, I was just hoping other peoples comments about over heating somehow wouldn't affect my unit. Evidently its a common problem and has been for some time. Given this is the Hero 12, I'm guessing they can't fix the issue, and/or just don't care provided people like me will buy them anyway. Therefore decided, to replace this with a DJI ACTION 4. Youtube video by Peter Lindgren comparing GoPro Hero 12 to DJI Action 4, left me in no doubt I had bought the wrong camera. I don't often write reviews but this camera is not cheap, and to me it's practical value is down to 1 star. Thereby, hopefully somebody reading this will take note and buy another brand of camera. ====== Update after receiving the DJI Action 4 and comparison to the Gopro Hero12: DJI Action 4 is fantastic. Build quality seems superior and comes with more accessories even with the standard combo pack I bought. Side by side filming on similar settings, my GoPro quit filming after about 15 minutes getting to 55 degrees C at shut down. The DJI by comparison was only 41 degrees and continued recording without further increase in temperature. Sound quality on the DJI also seems better. I'm super pleased with the video footage on the DJI also. Also more features and options on the DJI which also makes it much better suited for use also as a dashcam. In short, I bought the wrong camera. Buy a DJI instead of the GoPro in my opinion the DJI is just such an all-round better product. ... show more
