SAN
MATEO, Calif., Sept. 6,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO)
announced its new HERO12 Black camera, raising the bar
yet again for the small, rugged, ultra-versatile cameras the
company is famous for.
"Our new flagship camera is the culmination
of GoPro's 21 years of experience," says CEO and Founder
Nicholas Woodman.
GoPro's newest flagship camera has an MSRP of $399.99 and builds on the groundbreaking
performance of its predecessor, enabling up to 2x longer runtimes
thanks to a redesigned power management system, stunning high
dynamic range (HDR) video in market leading 5.3K and 4K
resolution video, support for Bluetooth® audio
devices, including Apple AirPods and improved HyperSmooth 6.0 video
stabilization, along with a host of powerful new camera features
designed to serve new users and professionals alike.
An exciting part of HERO12 Black's new capabilities is its
new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory, which enables the
market's widest 177° field of view at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Max Lens
Mod 2.0 can capture video and photos in three field-of-view
settings—Max Wide, Max SuperView and the all-new, hyper-immersive
Max HyperView—fully exploiting HERO12 Black's extra-large 8:7
sensor to enable perspectives that are 36% wider when capturing
widescreen video and 48% taller when capturing vertical video, when
compared to HER012 Black's standard lens. These market leading
wide-angle perspectives are ideal for capturing everything from
"feels like you're there" first-person perspectives of your
favorite sports and activities to dream-like immersion in natural
settings when traveling or adventuring with friends and family
outdoors. Max Lens Mod 2.0 features 2x more scratch resistant glass
than its predecessor along with a durable hydrophobic lens coating
that wicks water drops away.
"HERO12 Black resets the bar for immersive life-capture," says
GoPro CEO and Founder Nicholas
Woodman. "Our new flagship camera is the culmination of
GoPro's 21 years of experience and our passion for helping you
capture and share your life in an immersive, dream-like way that
makes you and your audience feel like you're right there again,
reliving your favorite experiences in vivid detail."
HERO12 Black features many new, powerful pro-minded capabilities
that will also benefit more casual users thanks to their intuitive
and convenient design:
- Wireless audio support for Apple AirPods and other
Bluetooth® audio devices such as earbuds,
headphones and microphones—great for vlogging, scene narration and
issuing voice commands to control your HERO12 Black from a
distance
- GP-Log with available LUTs for more control and color grading
in post-production
- Wireless timecode sync an unlimited number of HERO12 Black
cameras for easy multi-camera editing with Final Cut Pro, Adobe
Premier and other leading editing apps
- Optimized encoding that delivers smaller file sizes with no
compromise to image quality
More casual users who may be looking for the perfect blend of
convenience and control will love HERO12 Black's updated user
interface, which includes simplified controls plus a new Vertical
Capture Mode that captures vertical 9:16 aspect ratio 4K video while the camera is mounted
horizontally—perfect for sharing straight to vertically-oriented
social channels.
GoPro is also expanding its software experience and GoPro
subscriber benefits with the launch of its new Quik desktop app.
Quik desktop will be available exclusively to GoPro subscribers at
no additional charge. Quik desktop brings the speed and convenience
of the Quik mobile app to desktop users, but with an expanded list
of features and capabilities that take advantage of a desktop
computer's processing power and screen size. Quik desktop and Quik
mobile apps will sync with one another so that you can start an
editing project on one app and seamlessly transition to the other
for maximum convenience and flexibility. Quik desktop will be
available for Mac on November 1 and
Windows in Summer 2024.
HERO12 Black is available today for preorder
on GoPro.com for $399.99 as
well as Max Lens Mod 2.0 for $99.99, or $79.99
for GoPro subscribers. Both products will be available in stores
