To hard to use i took it back sorry i couldn't figure it out

GoPro - HERO12 Black Action Camera Bundle - Black Summary: New welcome features in familiar form. Pros: * Upgrades: this unit has a few upgrades that help it stand apart from its predecessor. I'll cover those in the Differences section. * Form factor. The Hero 12 retains many of the best attributes of the Hero 11. This includes the svelte form factor. * Quality. I've tried some of the cheaper knockoffs and I own a Hero 11. The GoPros are by and far the best quality action cameras I've used. * Ecosystem. The GoPro ecosystem and third-party ecosystem is unrivaled. Though I got the accessory bundle that includes everything to get started, I already have accessories I can re-use from my Hero 11. The bundle provides spares. * Optical video mage stabilization has always been a strength of GoPro; this model now features "HyperSmooth 6.0" auto stabilization and attitude adjustment up even while completely flipped! * Extra wide field of view sensor allows for capturing special moments in their entirety. * Touch screen controls. The interface hasn't changed between models, so the consistency is welcome. The screen does seem more responsive. * GoPro iOS app setup is fast - just be sure to enable Bluetooth. The app detects the GoPro and boom! The app continues to provide easy to quick editing capabilities including adding text, soundtrack, transitions, and filters. It even offers templating to get you on your way to making cool quick video. Transfers can be a bit slow for 4K content. Cons: * I'm not convinced this is a con. I feel like the differences between model Hero 11 and Hero 12 are noticeable, but not sure they warrant a new model. Maybe a model refresh is all that was needed. Why mention this? Well, the question really is: "are the differences worth 50-100$ (depending on when/where you buy)?" If you're buying your first GoPro HERO or an additional one for your household, I'd say YES! If you're considering an upgrade to replace a Hero 11, probably not. Differences between the Hero 11 and 12: * Some subtle design changes. For instance, it features blue accents and frameless mounting threads at the bottom. * Now supports HDR video. This will allow the camera to capture more color detail in bright and dark scenes. I have included a picture of a low light picture. * This unit features a longer battery life. From marketing: It can record up to 70 minutes of 5.3K video with HyperSmooth stabilization on, while the Hero 11 can only record up to 35 minutes¹². * Now connect to wireless devices to makes it easier to add voice overs. * Now supports more aspect ratios (9:16 and 8:7) across all video resolutions and modes. Use: We own a HERO 11. We wanted another unit so that we could film activities together, but from different perspectives. We generally get recent models so when the opportunity arose to get the Hero 12 we leapt at it. We don't use just GoPros for action shots (such as bike riding, hiking, or mounting on our Corgi). We also record videos of us cooking, videos of lightning and thunderstorms, and other activities. Why not use our phones? For one, optical image stabilization of phones is not great. Not since the Nokie 1580, anyhow. That is why we don't use them for action shots, despite phone marketing that suggests otherwise. Plus, we have to keep our phones on and trained on a subject, or exposed to the elements, etc. If this model is something you're considering and don't already own an older model, do it. You won't regret it.

The GoPro HERO12 bundle is awesome. I already have and love the Handler but don't mind having another. It's great for shooting in and around water because it floats and has a bright orange beacon like end to help find it. Also a wrist strap so you have a chance of catching it. A must have so you don't loose this expensive camera. The other accessory in this bundle is the head strap. It fits securely with little rubber bumps on the inside for grip. A nice hands free mount. Lastly you can't complain about extra batteries. As for the camera, it's everything you'd expect from a GoPro. I really like the blue specs on the outside. I have a HERO11 and it's a tough call to say it's worth the upgrade. This has some nice new features but if you're not using them then stick with the older one to save some money. If this would be your first one, check out the features and it's probably worth it coming from nothing. I think the HyperSmooth video stabilization is better. I shot some driving videos and didn't notice as many bumps in the video. I like the wide range of customization. You can have the options set very simplistic or open up pro settings. On top of that, there are a chunk of presets to use right out of the box and a starting point to tweak. The ones I really liked were from the time lapse mode. I was able to quickly capture some really cool shots with light painting and car lights. On the other side of the settings you can capture some nice slow motion. My gripe here though is that I didn't find any presets. There were lots of options of speeding things up and shutters but nothing to help you find the settings for good slow motion shots. I ended up Googling to find some good settings to try with the fps. My favorite thing about GoPros is their waterproof-ness. I like to take them to the beach or even throw them in the aquarium to film some fish. Very clear videos underwater. I noticed with extended use that it didn't seem to get as hot as my HERO11 however I did not notice an increase in battery life. There are so many settings on this thing you can really flex your imagination. This bundle is great for getting started and there are so many options for mounts and mods on these cameras. I do hate that GoPro shows these cameras out in the mud and dirt and they don't give you screen protectors. I pulled mine out of the box and cleaned off a finger print on the front display with my glasses cleaner and now there are scratches. How are they living up to the durability claims? Highly recommend getting some screen protectors as soon as you get this bundle and probably the clamp mount.

Overall, this is a really impressive camera! I’ve never used a GoPro before, so this is my first experience with the brand, and I must say it is a great camera. You always see the promotional footage from these as action shots of extreme sports, but I think it can be used for so much more. Yes, it is great for high-resolution videos that can be slowed down to 12.5% and still be perfectly clear, but the image stabilization is also amazing, and the sound through the stock microphone is also amazing. I’ve been making YouTube videos for years at this point, always on a budget. I’ve been using my cell phone with a Rode microphone attached, and this sounds just as good. It even registers as a higher volume than the Rode, making editing easier. I can imagine using this for videos of walks on the beach that people post, and taking home videos on a more unobtrusive manner than holding a cell phone in front of your face for the entire event. This package does come with everything you’ll need for the sports recording, like a headband for the camera, and a helmet mount in addition to a nice grip to hold the whole thing. I’m excited to try it with perhaps the media attachment or the external microphone connector to see if it can be improved, but overall this is an amazing camera. Looks like my channel will be in 4k or higher going forward! The only downside that I've experienced is one of the two batteries that I received in the package is completely faulty. After reaching out to GoPro about this, I've had no response for more than a week. Hopefully you won't have this issue.

What an update to the action camera scene. If you have an older Go Pro and are thinking about upgrading, you definitely want this. Video quality is excellent. Waterproof to 30-ish feet so you can take it to the lake, river, ocean, pool and catch all your shots. Multiple modes for wide or normal angle shots. Bluetooth capability for external mic or earbuds. Connected easily to Apple Airpods, Bose earbuds and a generic bluetooth lavalier microphone. Sound quality was good from all mics. Onboard microphone is decent, but suffers when getting farther away from the cam on windy/noisy days. I did have issues getting it connected to my Sena motorcycle headset. Never did work. However it paired seamlessly with the Cardo Packtalk bold. Great for attaching to a motorcycle helmet, or directly to the bike to get action shots and commentary. Has the ability to live stream, this feature worked well during testing. Video quality is amazing, focuses fast when moving. So why 4 stars? The app is buggy/glitchy. Randomly drops connection to the camera. Frequent re-starts. Worse on Apple Iphone 14 than on Samsung Galaxy S23. Best phone for connection in my test was Pixel 6 Pro. While all the phones had connectivity issues with the app, the Pixel was by far the best at staying connected. Does not come with an SD card. Be sure to pick up a good quality one. All in all it's the best action cam in my opinion and worth buying.

Excelente action videos and camera features! Sturdy and waterproof, my children are having lots of fun with the GoPro 12!!

Still one of the powerful cameras. You don’t need to be a professional to use it and make excellent memories. Easy to use as well.

Great unit. Clear videos and easy to use operating system.

Excellent quality and great package bundle for the price

This is a really neat camera that I think I’m going to enjoy having. it is a little more complicated to figure out how to take pictures and edit them. The most people are saying in my opinion. As for me, I’ve had it two weeks and I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it but I have not figured out how to work it fully either. The few videos I’ve taken upload easily to the app and are very nice quality. I hope that I’m able to figure out how to fully use this camera and really enjoy it.

Best GoPro out there so far, I have the GoPro 6 and 8 and you can’t compare it to this new GoPro…. The graphics are insane and battery life is a little better. I highly recommend getting this package because it comes with a lot of accessories and also the camera.

Great set for a beginner, family trip, or road trip. I have taken it to the ocean, trails, and rivers so far, so good. The only downside is that GoPro now charges for its software for video editing.

Have used for recording athletic events. Great quality and easy to use.

I am very impressed by this product and its accessories. I would have bought all of these items separately, so I am glad I chose to buy the bundle.

Good quality pictures and seems generally good quality but battery life is rather meh. Recording at full quality you're lucky to get half an hour from them each. Do NOT sign up for the premium service however. All aspects of it is hot garbage or retired.

Came in good condition and was very fast shipment and good quality customer service experience. Gotta love Best Buy. And was the only store that would ship to P. O. BOX.

Amazing. We have owned almost every prosuct in this line and it just keepa getting better. Get at Best Buy. The staff is great and knowledgable.

The quality of this product is excellent. Recommended

The video quality is amazing ! First time GoPro user and in beyond happy with my purchase . Plan on using for family videos including Disneyland !

Got exactly what I expected. Camera is just a powerhouse and the accessories make the bundle worth it.
