Review: Nicely Made, Extremely Small & Portable, Great Video Quality, Good Battery Life, Easy to Use - I really love this new smaller edition of the GoPro cameras! First off, the camera feels very well made and doesn't feel cheap. It has a little weight to it for it's size, but is still very easy to hold and mount as needed. I was actually very surprised by the overall size of this camera. It definitely looks bigger in photos. This camera comes with a few accessories which are all GoPro branded and feel strong and sturdy. There is no case included with this camera, which isn't a deal breaker by any means, but something to keep it protected when not in use would have been nice. The camera itself is very easy to use and operate. The built in, bright touch screen really helps with this and is also very responsive and fairly easy to see in direct sunlight. You can also use the app to change settings as needed, too (there aren't many). The app itself is well designed and also easy to navigate. There are 3 modes to this camera. That's it. Because of this, it's great for beginners or for someone who needs quick, easy to use 4K without having to adjust settings, etc. before shooting. The 4K/30 FPS video quality is excellent and honestly, the best I have seen on an action camera at this price point, so far. While filming in 4K/30 the camera does get a little warm, but it hasn't shut itself off yet, at least for me. The quality of the images is excellent and very clear and crisp. Even low light images aren't terrible on this camera. Don't get me wrong, it's not anything like the day time images, however, for an action camera, it's really not awful. The built in microphones record good audio for an action camera and is extremely usable for most projects. The electronic image stabilization is excellent and in my opinion, is better then some gimbals. Keep in mind, there is no built in stabilization within the camera. It gets applied when viewed and exported from the app. So each video will need to be "processed" before exporting. To my surprise, this doesn't take long and it works really well. It's just another step before the video can used for whatever you might be working on. The battery life on this is pretty good and it really depends on your settings that will determine how long it will last. Filming in the highest setting (4K/30), the more battery this is going to use. They include the newer enduro battery inside which works better in extreme temperatures and provides more shooting time. The battery is built in and cannot be swapped for another battery. It will need to be charged through the camera itself. It doesn't take too long to charge and can be charged with a power bank while on the go. It can also be used while charging which helps. All things considered, I really like this camera and it is priced quite well for the overall quality it provides. It's one of those cameras you can just grab and go with. It's quick and super simple to get high quality 4K video in a pretty lightweight and very small package.
Review: Impressive action camera for the price. - ### Review: GoPro HERO 12 I recently purchased the GoPro HERO 12, and it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I managed to get it on sale for $299, which feels like an incredible bargain for such a feature-rich action camera. #### Build and Design The HERO 12 maintains the rugged and durable build quality that GoPro is known for. It’s compact, sturdy, and waterproof up to 33 feet without any additional housing. This makes it perfect for all kinds of adventures, from mountain biking to snorkeling. #### Performance The video quality is outstanding. With the capability to shoot 5.3K video at 60fps, the HERO 12 captures stunningly detailed and smooth footage. The color accuracy and low-light performance are also impressive, making it versatile for various shooting conditions. #### Battery Life One of the standout features for me has been the battery life. Even during extended shooting sessions, I experienced no overheating issues, and the battery lasted significantly longer than expected. This reliability is crucial for capturing those perfect moments without interruption. #### User Interface The interface is another highlight. It’s incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, with a responsive touch screen that makes navigating the settings a breeze. The voice control feature is also very handy, allowing me to start and stop recording without physically touching the camera. #### Features The HERO 12 is packed with advanced features. The HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilization technology is phenomenal, providing gimbal-like stability in the most turbulent conditions. Additionally, the TimeWarp 3.0 feature allows for stunning time-lapse videos, and the live streaming capability is a great bonus for sharing adventures in real-time. #### Connectivity Connecting the camera to my phone via the GoPro app was seamless. The app provides an array of options for editing and sharing footage, making the whole process very convenient. The built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity ensure easy transfer of files. #### Conclusion Overall, the GoPro HERO 12 is an exceptional action camera that delivers on all fronts. Its combination of superior video quality, excellent battery life, robust build, and user-friendly interface makes it a top choice for both amateur and professional users. At the sale price of $299, it’s an unbeatable value. Highly recommended for anyone looking to capture their adventures in stunning detail!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Camera
*by G***Y on June 28, 2025*

This thing in immaculate... well worth the price I paid for it!! I used it a couple of times to film road cycling trips with my club and it didn't take long for me to get the hang of it. Everyone loves the final edits that the AI in the app generated for me... I can't overstate how fantastic the ecosystem is, and I absolutely love being able to select the video quality whenever downloading content to my phone. The camera size is perfect, and the single touchscreen is awesome. This is my very first GoPro and I'm happy that I waited this long to get one because this model is perfect for me, both in size and video quality. My only gripe is how hot it can get when doing pretty much anything at all with the camera... but that hasn't been a real bother. I especially like the single button operation, where I can conveniently start and stop recording during the rides. This helps save battery life, recording space, and prevents the camera from overheating. So, when the camera isn't recording, it goes into power save mode... but I can quickly start recording just by pressing that single button.
