Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently invested in the GoPro Hero 12 from Best Buy, and it has exceeded my expectations! The 4K video quality is stunning, capturing every detail of my adventures with unparalleled clarity. The HyperSmooth 4.0 technology ensures buttery-smooth footage, even in the most dynamic scenarios. The improved low-light performance adds versatility to my shooting capabilities. The user-friendly interface and intuitive controls make it a breeze to navigate, while the durable build withstands the rigors of my outdoor pursuits. The GoPro Hero 12 is a game-changer, redefining my content creation experience. Highly recommended for those who crave top-tier performance in a compact package!

Apparently GoPro did a lot of work to increase battery life, freezing and some over-heating issues and this does seem to have made a difference over the Hero11. Also they removed real-time GPS on this one - not an issue for most people but good to know,

have owned every GoPro since the Hero 3. The cameras have evolved and changed so much since then. Since the Hero 10 however, there have only been minor improvements. I believe this is because GoPro’s have become so refined and proven that there is not a need for big changes every year. The Hero 12 creator edition is the perfect camera for vlogging. It has everything you need built into a small, lightweight, and versatile package. One of my favorite features is the stabilization. It used to be that in order to get super stable video it required a bulk gimble. Even with a gimble it took a technique and knowledge for the video to turn out well. The in camera stabilization that GoPro uses is point and shoot and looks great. Since GoPros are waterproof, the camera audio can sometime be less than ideal. However, using the creator housing it comes with a built in shotgun microphone that allows for excellent audio. If you prefer, you can plug in any external microphone. One of the coolest features GoPro added to the camera this year is the ability to connect wireless earbuds, including Airpods. This allows you to use them as an external recording device or remote voice control your camera. I believe this is a big game changer. The next big thing that was upgraded this year is battery life. I have never had an issue with battery life because I prefer to record in shorter clips. If I run out of battery I just replace the battery with another. However, for some it might not be this simple. For example, if the camera is mounted externally to a vehicle and you cannot change the battery. Regardless, the extended battery times are welcomed. The creator edition includes the battery grip which I highly recommend if you are holding the GoPro or using it for vlogging. If battery life is important, then you can always shoot at a lower frame rate to conserve battery. The GoPro Hero 12 packs so much tech into a small and quite affordable package. I do not think there is another camera on the market that can offer everything it does in a small and versatile package. If you have a GoPro Hero 10 or 12 the new features may or may not be worth the upgrade. The reason I get a new one every year is because it never hurts to have more than one camera anyway. If you do not own a GoPro and are looking for a Vlog camera or simply a camera to capture your adventures, then look no more. Both the pictures and videos that this camera can produce will make people think you are using a much more expensive camera

If you notice anything on this new gopro its the new operating system. Its snappier, more efficiant and will last a bit longer in most cases. I HIGHLY recomend a 256 gig card which will give you plenty of room to shoot everything. Simply turning the camera on is faster, the video feels cleaner, and HDR mode is fantastic. Is this night and day from the 11? No. But if you are looking for the best gopro has put out, this is it. The max lens mod2 is a massive leap forward! Its worth the upgrade for the performance boost if you are squeesing all you can out of your gopro. Everything just feels a little better. Again, not night and day!!!! But enough to make it worth it. Enjoy making films everyone!!! Keep creating!!!

Camera is great, quality is great! Overall the camera is amazing for night time use or day time use great video quality

Just upgraded to the GoPro Hero 11 Black and it's phenomenal! The video quality is stunning, especially in good lighting—crisp, vibrant, and full of detail. I'm amazed by the HyperSmooth 5.0 stabilization; it makes even the roughest action shots look smooth. The HyperView mode is a game-changer for wide-angle shots, adding a dramatic feel to my videos. It's incredibly user-friendly and the app integration makes editing a breeze. Hands down, the best action camera I've owned!

FINALLY A GOPRO THAT DOESNT OVERHEAT AND ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT SAYS. You will get an hour and a half in 5.3k and not have to worry about it shiiting off. New power management system saved them a company

Amazing and easy to use works great love the quality and all the accessories available

Easy and fun to use. Super convenient and the quality is there!

Bought as gift for son. Uses it to video when dirtbike racing.

I purchased GoPro Hero12 for my motorcycle trip and it has exceeded all my expectations. The video quality is incredibly sharp, even in hast-moving. The image stabilization is truly impressive. it keeps every shot smooth and professional looking. the camera is compact, durable, and perfect for travel, outdoor adventures and everyday use. overall very please for the hero 12.

Awesome! Bought this for my husband for his k9 tracks. Camera is perfect for this. Works well In low light, long lasting battery and easy to use.

It so easy to use and works son good, I’ll recommend it. Better than the 13

Great product, super easy to use. Great image quality

The go pro is such a simple, small, easy to use camera that is easy to take where ever and when ever. Video quality is awesome and is just such a user friendly device. My only recommendation is to buy a waterproof case for actual submerging.

Great product. Easy to use and the app creates nice video

Hero 12 is second to none. All the best features for a fraction of the price for traditional photo/video cameras. Only possible downside is the lack of zoom for GoPro. Otherwise, this is hands down the best cam…

Really like this camera. Used on vacation to capture our cruise to Alaska and all the fun excursions. Worked extremely well when zip lining. Now using to capture flight lessons. My only complaint is the overheating when stationary indoors with no air flow. Will be purchasing more to capture different angles of flight training.

I had been using an older Kodak HD camera, but it died recently, so it was time for an upgrade. This camera is a lot better overall, and the wireless integration seems like a nice feature, but I could not get my iPhone 15 to recognize it within the app. So far, I've just transferred the videos directly to my laptop, which is what I've done with the Kodak. I'm using it a car for when I'm driving on a track. The Image quality is really good, and field of view is more than what I got with the Kodak. The camera does a decent job of filtering out wind noise. I was hoping there'd be a way to integrate an external mic, but I haven't researched enough to see if that's possible. With the noise cancellation, I am beginning to wonder if it's even necessary. I ended up getting 60-70 minutes of battery life for video. I just hopped on the GoPro bandwagon, so I don't know if that's bad or good. The accessory pack is good, although the image shown is a little misleading. It seems to imply that you're getting a second battery. My kit did not include a battery (one came with the camera). That's when I read the Details of the listing, which doesn't list a battery, yet there it is in the photo (to the left of the Memory card adapter). I also can't remember if I got a memory card, because I ordered several of the same size and capacity as the one in this kit, they both arrived around the same time. Otherwise, all of the accessory brackets and such are decent, and necessary. If the GoPro package itself had an adapter to a standard camera mount, I might not have purchased the kit. The tripod is ok, but small, and I will probably make use of the Selfie Stick, if only to annoy other people around me. I'm not really complaining about the kit, and it's hard to argue against it, because it's a really good value for what you get. Who knows? Maybe I'll use it on a boat, and use the yellow float attachment, or maybe I'll attach it to my helmet at some point, and the accessory case is really good if you need to hold just the essentials for your trip, like a couple batteries and a charger, charging and transfer cables, and the mount pieces you need.

Very easy to use. Small and looks good. Goes under water also.
