Q: QuestionHello. I'm interesting to buy gopro 12. What about overheating? Because my previous experience with gopro 7, 9...show that this a big problem. And now I need cam but not sure. Please change my bad opinion about this problem. Thank you

Asked 1 year ago by Sergio.

• A:Answer If it were me I’d steer clear of the GoPro 12. Like I said in my review previously that it overheated twice and shut down on me while filming a sons basketball game and I wasnt even doing it in 4K. So to me thats just ridiculous for a camera thats $400 I just knew better than to try GoPro again because theyre lacking in development and improving theor cameras. Went with DJI Action4 and never looked back. Hasnt overheated yet and better picture anyway from a reputable company. Ive filmed 4 games already with no issues

Q: QuestionDoes this GoPro 12 , sold by itself and not in a bundle, come with a battery charger in the box? It does not say it comes with a battery charger, but I have never purchased a camera that did not come with a battery charger.

Asked 2 years ago by RichNEPA.

• A:Answer It comes with a battery and usb charging cable. You can plug the usb cable into any usb port to charge it. It does not include an adapter. Probably because the company figures most people have usb charging capabilities; cars, computers, phone charging adapters, surge protectors, etc...

Q: QuestionHello, If I use two batteries and record at the lowest resolution, can I use this camera to record for 4 hours. This would be using the camera as it is stationary and just recording minimum movement

Asked 1 month ago by Slp.

• A:Answer At 1080p and 30 fps, a fully charged battery should give you about two hours and 25 minutes of recording time, so two batteries should be able to power the camera for four hours. You can also use an external power supply to power the HERO12 Black for even longer periods.

Asked 3 months ago by Darion.

Q: QuestionDoes GoPro HERO12 Action Camera (Model CHDHX-121-TH/CHDHX-121-CN) REQUIRE using smartphone/other mobile device? Does it REQUIRE using an app, or can you use it standalone & just download videos/pics from the SD card? Same for ALL GoPros?

Asked 4 months ago by NotAHero.

• A:Answer You do not need a smartphone or any other device to use GoPro cameras. While a smartphone paired to your GoPro camera can offer more options in how you use the camera, such as being able to change settings and activate the camera's functions remotely, you can also turn the camera on, start recording, take photos, and adjust basic settings directly with the camera.

Q: QuestionHow will the GoPro Hero12 work for videoing track and field events? I have a daughter in high school who is an amazing runner, and I am trying to find a camera that will capture her runs. Any help would be appreciated.

Asked 10 months ago by JenniferD.

• A:Answer I have been using my new GoPro to film sea life in the Florida Keys, and it has been fantastic! It has captured a lot of sea life in full motion with excellent results. Its main claim to fame, of course, is that it is an underwater camera, but I'm sure it would work really well for your purposes too. There are special settings for action shots that I haven't explored, but they might be of special use to you. I highly recommend it!
