The GoPro Hero 12 details have finally come and here’s the summery of the “real” leaks about the Hero 12. I’ll be sharing my feelings about this in a YouTube video later on. In the meantime, here’s the summery below.
The GoPro Hero 12 will have the same resolution (5.3K video, 27MP photo)
Battery life at 5.3K 60FPS will be 70 minutes (so 9 minutes longer than current)
Battery life at 5.3K 30FPS will be 1.5 hours
Battery life at 1080P 30FPS will be 2.5 hours (150 minutes compared to previous model 137 minutes)
The camera will have a HDR video mode in 5.3K. Unknown if this is present in all resolutions and frame rates
LOG Video Option available
Hypersmooth 6.0
Same size rear screen as previous models.
Release date is September 13th.
Battery life seems to be the main touted upgrade, but there is still an unconfirmed rumor that there will be new accessories.
There now follow addition information that was confirmed by Nick Woodman during August investors relations call (in case you missed it).
New version of “Quik for desktop” to be released in Q4 of this year.
New desktop version of Quik will have cloud access and synced edits across platforms (assuming original footage has been uploaded to the cloud first?)
A “slate of new hardware and software” this year (so maybe an additional GoPro model before Christmas? Is this why no major hardware work on the Hero 11… I mean… Hero 12?)
A new “entry level GoPro” Mid 2024.
A new “premium” subscription tier to be introduced. Only thing confirmed about this is that it will allow you to use images from any camera for editing.
