As usual, GoPro is waiting until the fall to unveil its new action camera. This Hero12 Black takes the configuration of its predecessor released a year earlier and takes the opportunity to perfect its recipe and add a few features.

This annual renewal of GoPro’s flagship camera leaves us wanting more. Certainly, the GoPro Hero12 Black is an excellent camera and still stays ahead of the competition, but the progress made compared to the previous version struggles to justify the appearance of this new model. No matter, since the action camera is sold less expensive than the previous one and remains devilishly effective in all situations while offering the best on the market.
Strong points
- 5.3K at 60 fps, 4K Ultra HD at 120 fps, 2.7K at 240 fps.
- Stabilization and maintaining the horizon always effective.
- Fixing and thread integrated into the frame.
- Autonomy and heating in progress.
- Automatic upload and editing with Quik subscription.
- 10-bit LOG mode and LUTs.
- Full compatibility with the previous range of accessories.
Weak points
- Little change compared to the Hero 11.
- Tedious management of menus and modes.
- Waterproof up to 10 m without housing (generally 18 m for the competition).
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

Finally, the GoPro Hero10 Black takes all the advantages of the Hero9 Black and refines the performance. The changes are there and they are impressive. These include, among other things, maintaining the horizon up to 45° and 4K at 120 fps! Connectivity is also improved, as is interaction with the camera. However, even if the progress is far from non-existent, we have the impression of being faced with a sort of Hero9 bis rather than a real new camera. The GoPro Hero9 Black remaining in the catalog, the latter becomes an excellent choice due to its more advantageous quality/price ratio.
