    I recently purchased the GoPro 12 from Best Buy, and I am extremely satisfied with this product. It has exceeded all my expectations in terms of performance and features. First and foremost, the image quality is outstanding. Whether in bright daylight or low-light conditions, the photos and videos are incredibly clear, with accurate color reproduction. The 4K video recording capability allows me to capture detailed and vibrant footage, perfect for documenting outdoor activities and travel adventures. Additionally, the stabilization feature is impressive. Whether I’m biking, running, or engaging in other intense activities, the video remains steady without any noticeable shaking. This is a major plus for anyone who loves shooting action-packed videos. The waterproof feature is another highlight. I took it on a diving trip, and it performed flawlessly underwater, capturing stunning footage of the underwater world. Moreover, the battery life is quite good, supporting long recording sessions without needing frequent recharges. This makes it a reliable companion for extended outings. Overall, the GoPro 12 is a fantastic action camera that delivers top-notch performance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and high-quality camera for their adventures.

    Capturing Sea Life in the Keys with GoPro Hero12

    This camera is great and so much fun! I have been taking it with me on all of my swims and snorkels since I got it and have really enjoyed it. It is so easy to use and takes great videos. The 5.3k with 60fps is incredible, but 4k with 30 fps is also fine and works really well for the video editor Shotcut and youTube videos. I regularly swim and snorkel in the Upper Florida Keys, and the GoPro has enabled me to capture LOTS of sea life on stunning videos. Just this week I shot great video footage with two nurse sharks, a stingray, a horseshoe crab and many other types of fish. If you want to see the results, please check out my series of snorkeling videos on youTube: Shoreline Snorkeling in the Florida Keys. They were so easy and fun to create with my new GoPro Hero12 Black!

    Great First GoPro Purchase

    This was a great purchase for an action camera to take with me on my recent trip to Crete. It's easy to use and get used to, and with the accessories purchase I made both here and from Amazon I had groups, holsters, and straps for just about every type of transportation. The battery life is pretty good, but just buy two extra batteries, a charger and a portable power bank and you're set regardless. Most accessories from anywhere are going to be compatible with GoPro (if their manufacturer want to stay in business anyway), so the fact that the camera doesn't come with much besides a few screw packs and a position joint or two shouldn't dissuade you. Picture quality is awesome.

    Love this camera! I’ve had a goPro 5 black for years before deciding to buy this cam right before a snowboard trip. I paired the cam with a selfie pole with a wireless remote and I was able to capture some of the best footage I’ve seen from these cams. Aside from it being a nice cam, it’s easy to clean, pack, charge and doesn’t require any experience to use. This is the 4th go pro I own and will probably get another one before our next trip.

    I got the creator edition. I’ve got to say I haven’t owned a GoPro since the H10, but I went with the GoPro hero 12 for my YouTube channel that I am fishing & outdoors. It’s been great. Better battery life, 6.0 Hypersmooth is so nice ! I also just got a drone just to get more great shots.. GoPro has been the king of action cameras since they dropped the Hero 10! We all know it ! That camera change the game. I would most definitely recommend that you grab this camera. Especially as a first camera, I would suggest the creator edition. It would be great for Blogging, Podcasts and stuff like that. Also, the mount with the (creator edition) also acts as a power bank when you plug it in so your battery lasts about as long as (3) batteries would on your first adventure. Or that first set of shots you record when you go out.. I will be buying 2 more. Most likely gonna get another Hero 12 for my fishing partner, then grab that Hero 13 bundle when it drops for the stationary camera that I set up just to watch what’s going on when we are fishing , etc. Thanks BestBuy for always being so helpful in finding the right gear for me. Also would like to say that the employee that helped me was awesome ! Not too pushy, even told me go out and make some content first before buying more electronics. Which turned out to be great advice because I did and have done some great edits and now I’m confident in my photography and what I want to use. That’s GoPro !
