What´s your honest opinion about the Hero 12?👇

I have a Hero 12 and an Action 4. Both are great, but I find I reach for the GoPro more often. The image quality is very good, although I do believe the Action 4 handles low light and white balance better. I’m keeping and using both.
Go Pro selling lube too ?
I've been using GoPro's since the Hero 9. I have and love the Hero 12. Everyone has their preferences, likes and dislikes
Still using the 10 with just the onboard mic. It’s a good compromise 🤩
After fan of gopro since 2011 with 5 generations of cameras i had enogh and switched on dji. To many times had gopro cameras shut themself off, overheated.. told that battery was to low while it had 39% charge.. frozen many times.. did update.. factory reset or what ever.. still same problems. Also customerservice is a nightmare and slow.. waited many times in line for 47minutes..
I started watching for your LumaFusion tutorials years ago and now I am back for your GoPro videos as I got my first GoPro recently haha. A friend gave me his old 7 and I like it so much I am deciding between getting the 10 or the 12
Think it depends on how you're using it, in fpv it's always been king, as video quality is above all and we don't run them for much over 10 minutes at a time.
7:56 Is the L+ mode the same as Linear + Horizon? I saw it in another video, a guy scrolling trough the menu. It seems like it is.
it seems to me that the hero 12 black is in the same situation the hero 9 black was in. it was the last camera with GP1 processor so it was slow, and had a laggy screen. it was replaced by the hero 10 black with the GP2 processor, which was used for the hero 11 and 12. Possibly this processor is causing the overheating, not the GPS which was taken out of the hero 12.
These are good points, Rob. And well done on the battery tests, very thorough! I usually find these tests quite…unbalanced? For example, some cameras are in use longer than the others, so I suppose the battery capacity won’t be exactly the same. Or in other cases the resolution matters as well, like when you test Go 3 at 2.7 K while other cameras are 4K. What matters is the real usage and how fast it charges (so here I cannot complain about my Action 4 at all, it’s doing amazingly well). What would be your thoughts?
I stopped using GoPro years ago when too many corrupt card issues and shutting down. Went to DJI and while on the action 1 it wasn’t the best i never had issues with dji. The latest DJI action 4 camera blows Gopro out of the water.
I have never has a GoPro and I’m jumping in with the 12.
I've been using GoPros since the Hero 6 and I'm on the Hero 9. I love the colours, the ruggedness and I'm not bothered if I waste 10 or 20 seconds more one time, to set up the different presets that I use.
You're right about the media mod though. The thing sucks, you can't trust it to record anything from the external mic although I don't think the added bulkyness is an issue.
Think Ace Pro, that's really bulky in itself and then you have the extra magnetic thingies you need to buy for each place you want to mount the camera to (way too much money to "save you" 10 or 20 seconds twice a day when switching between mounts and, if you think about it, it's only for adding the finger mount thingies that GoPro already has built in) and the mic adapter for the wireless mic and you've got yourself quite the rig.
Lomg story short, I'm quite happy with the Hero 9 and don't think that any of the newer cameras would bring anything extra to my workflow.
I think that the "hate of the GoPro" is a recent trend created by extremely well oiled marketing machines that has everyone joining their band wagon.
Cheers.
Had the GoPro 10, shut down in snow resort after like 2m, switched up DJI action 3, then later upgraded to action 4, never had to worry about shut down any more and each camera lasts over 1.5h, with the combo, i could shoot my entire snowboarding day
My biggest issue with GoPros is the horrible distortion. I’ve always hated them for it. Most people don’t use Linear so their footages, no matter how pretty the landscape might be, makes me seriously nauseous and dizzy. Or when they walk through a door and the doorway turns into a friggin pipe. Or they turn it towards the floor for a moment and the floor is bulging straight into my face (it feels like).
I have to look away when you show the clips of using the additional wide angle lens, bad timing on my part for watching this whilst eating lunch 😅.
I was so happy and relieved when I discovered the DJI thanks to your channel. I have the Osmo Action 4 since October, and even if I need to switch to wide instead of dewarp, it’s such minimal distortion that I can ignore it.
That is so true tho😅
To avoid lens distortion you can eiter just shoot in linear mode or correct it in post, you wont notice it belive me
Hi my name is kham what would be a first action camera to get I want to use it for dash cam mostly and taking film on e scooter
Nice! Very honest and straightforward review! I like it.
GoPro hero 12 with max lens mod 2 is great. Zero issues so far. Enjoy they cloud service for storage
Bluetooth pairing to a Sena in my helmet and the quarter inch screwhole mount were reason enough for me to upgrade
I had a Gopro 10 and bought tons of accessories for it. I only used it a handful of times. Sold everything for $500 taking a major loss. I recently bought the Insta360 Go 3 and have high hopes for it. Its so tiny and versatile.
idk man i feel like the audio comments are unnecessary. when you buy an expensive video camera you still have to buy a microphone too. So, i get it the gro pro should be small but dont except to have great sound.
GoPro has consistently let me down. I will never purchase a GoPro again
I totally agree.
Totally agree
What will you use instead?
How have they let you down? I'm considering getting one, and I'd really like a honest opinion before spending a bunch of money for something that doesn't work half the time.
@@GregDavidson-si8kt same, I'm looking for a good entry level cam too so would be really good to know the downsides with gopros.
Please show me how you use your GoPro 12 with your Dji Mic 2 , thank you
I've had enough overheating issues with my gopro 10. seems like the ace pro is the latest one in the market and would you recommend it?
If you have like a lav mic, can you connect it to the GoPro if you have a media mod? Or does media mod only work with the mic that comes on it?
Yes you can connect a mic to it, not sure if you can plug a lav straight to it tho. But connecting a receiver from røde or dji for example works fine
Greetings Rob, I have two reasons to buy a GoPro. First I was going to go back to Thailand and record music in the outlying areas plus the scenery. Then I met a woman, LOL,, she happens to be a very popular singer performer and wants me to record her performances. I already have an older Sony DSC-HX400V which is was a really great camera but I had a hard time with a Sony proprietary AVCHD format which most software seems to want to convert. IT'S been many years since I tried to deal with AVCHD files and maybe it's easier now but I just couldn't wrap my head around the Sony minefield. So here I am digging out my old Sony and considering GoPro. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Now that the Insta360 Ace Pro is out, I truly think GoPro has come to an end...they've fallen behind all these challengers in the market. It's only a matter of time for us to witness its failure
Have they fixed the lag in a firmware update?
Would be nice if you showed the Linear mode. I do mountain biking POV vids, so for me having as little to no distortion is important, to represent the trails as accurately as possible. So the trails and trail features, terrain, obstacles don't change size, deform and look easier, and terrain look flatter.
I have no issues with freezing or overheating with the Hero 12. Good review, thanks for sharing.
I still like my Media Mod for my GoPro Hero 9. I use it when I am mounting my GoPro to the dash so I can power it externally and when I clamp the GoPro to the headstock of my guitar and burn up the fretboard of the guitar like it's a dance floor.
i first bought into GoPro with the 9..Loved it at first. THEN started getting audio clips and pops..AND also noticed random vibrating shakes that would make the video a pain to watch..I want another action camera but god..I swore off gopro once i experienced it..Anyone having issues with those things in the 12?
I really liked recording in 360 and then refreaming the scene I want, so I use instaX3 and for now I'm not even thinking about GoPro
I have the 11 & yeah, I'm tired of the battery issue. You shouldn't have to hard reset every time you want to use it or chatge it like an iPhone Gen 1 -5 that glitched all the time. I wish i had gone with the 360 brand.
In terms of picture quality, imma keep using GoPro. Insta360 One X4 looks better but the audio really sucks so...
Gopro has gifted the action market to Dji I think. Ii really love the action 4. I I have Gopro 5-11 .
Cant speak for the 12. I have a 11 and its not so bad. I think its a bit overpriced for what they are. I also have a action 4 that I am even less impressed with for the price, but I do like the integrated mic receiver.
I’m thinking that I would get the DJI action 4, ease of use straight out of the box and with the adventure pack it’s probably the best value. That’s just my opinion of course, but I’ve seen a lot of people agreeing with my opinion. It would be a big investment for me here in Australia with the ridiculous taxes that the Australian government would put on it, but it’d still be the best value for me, unless I were to go overseas and pick one up in a country that doesn’t tax us so much.
is there a way to overlay garmin cycling stats over gopro videos? is VIRB still an option?
im on the gopro 7 black, and im thinking about getting maybe a 360 cam or the gopro 11 because of the 8:7 sensor and the gps
does anyone here have any opinions?
Yes it's a honest video
That's why I subscribed
good work man
Gopro sucks because they push their expensive chunk accessories (media mod and pro 3.5mm mic adapter) with NO waterproof. DJI is gain space listening their clients. They offer 3 options: use their genuine tinny mic adapter, use a generic usbc to trs adapters, or using Dji MIC 2 (maintain camera waterproof).
This is the BEST of the best IF, IF, IF you wana know how to use it... simple. i mean firmware labs, customs modes for YOUR activity, and post production, and nothing beats it....
Go pro 12 is a very stable camera that works very well with all the approved multiple accessories that the Chinese are trying to make less good with well-renumerated influencers
16:44 I guess good thing I bought my GoPro 12 for $240 second hand
And looking in to getting a creators edition for $300 second hand.
my Hero 10 black is doing a amazing job i just got the insta 360 x3 and i love it im gonna wait for Hero 15
same here. i think the hero 10 has the best features still and it has a GPS, unlike the 12.
@@octny for what is the GPS needed?
@@ForestWanderer_YT if you have to ask, you probably don’t need it.
@@octny i never used it, that's why i'm asking!
@@ForestWanderer_YT tagging photos when you travel in remote places to see them on a map, adding telemetry and maps to videos on the go, motorsports, cars, airplanes. before it could be enabled when needed. not anymore.
You can connect an external microphone via Bluetooth.
I've used GoPro 8
Now rocking DJI action 2
Happier
8:22 Weird sharing glitch, some of the footage in the middle is moving while the rest is not.
I dont think people hate it. It's just that there's nothing "new". Just a GP11 packed into a new body and sprinkled with some paint; old body in a new swim suit.
I bought one, just like my Hero 4 Silver - I just never use it.
I love this camera
Go Pro for Standard Video, Durability, High resale, Customer support, Can be repaired easily. Still Go pro for me =)
Gopro 12 is good. No overheating
Thank you for your videos, I was thinking about changing the GoPro10 to 12 or Action 4. But after watching a lot of videos I decided to stay with my camera.
whatever... GP 12 is NOT a pocket 3... try mounting a pocket 3 to a bike... it falls apart (literally).... low light... no action cam works good ...GP12 with max lens 2.0 is KING in well lit situations
No GPS, it was a downgrade
I have had no issues with my GoPro 12 and enjoy it very much. Many people rave about DJI, but that company has some really shady ties. So even if it might be better, i will stay with my US made GoPro.
Gopro has been sleeping for years. Rip go pro
Overheating and burnt ..they will change the cam.. I ll sell even after new one I hate it will go for insta
Just stopped using GoPro recently after several iterations of the product still completely unreliable and therefore totally useless. Moved to DJI.
"The reckoning of gopro" - Peter Mckinnon...
Gopro is fine for me
I think people don't dislike it because its bad, rather because that the upgrades in the last years and after the hero 9 were so small. So it has gotten a prrety boring camera
So it's become the iphone?
@@sadetwizelve yeah they are the apple of action cams ^^
Not bad but nothing new thats hyping up really.
@@froznfire9531 understood
Gopro wide lens distortion so ugly. So of no use.
DJI all the way...🤜💪
😎😎
Because its the same dead tech repackaged with the same cosmetics yet they demand more money for less. We're halfway through almost 2024 and until i see 8k 240fps with a battery life of at least 2hours at the max setting without the overheating in hot conditions then i will avoid this trash until a worthy competitor can give me what i need.
Them demands bro 😅
You throw GoPro under the bus in another video and expect us to subscribe? You don't have to buy the media mod to connect an external microphone. GoPro does sell a separate mic adapter. Just because Bluetooth Airpods Sound awful doesn't mean other Bluetooth microphones will sound awful. There you go throwing GoPro under the bus again.
I tested the hero 12 black and was not impressed. first of all it lacks the GPS which is a big downgrade. then there were loads of software issues and incompatibility with sandisk extreme pro memory cards which work just fine at high bit rate on the hero 10 black. then the media mod can use both mics on the hero 12, unlike the 11 and the 10, which is a ripoff for previous buyers. the max lens mod 2.0 could have been enabled by firmware on the hero 11 but no. ah, and it still overheats in normal use scenarios, even outdoors. what's the point of having 10 bit high bit rate settings if your camera shuts down after a short time and even without the GPS? they added that bluetooth chip to which you can connect 4 external devices but there is no bluetooth gps remote in sight, and the audio quality is bad with bluetooth devices, any devices. so they messed up their camera with the latest 12 black. there's that.
@@octny I've had the exact opposite of your experience with the HERO12. I think it's the best GoPro to date. I have no need for GPS data. The sheer amount of accessories available for GoPros makes up for any of its short comings. The Ace Pro is good but it lacks compatibility with Apple products and the magnetic clip mount is not to be trusted for extreme sports.
good for you that you like it and have no need for GPS data. Other people do. The fact that they take the option from you is bad. They could have left the option to enable it or disable it by software like in the past. For me many camera settings that they added are useless bloatware that slow it down and heat it up. There is only so much that GP2 processor can take being the third camera with that chip.@@Cameraflyer-
@@octny my HERO12 works fine. No heating up or slowing down. There are things GoPro can do that other cameras can’t.
@@Cameraflyer- i got it at launch and it had many problems: dead pixel in the lcd, random horizontal green lines on the lcd, sd card error on the sandisk extreme pro sd (which works fine on other gopros). And it shut down outside on my bike due to overheating. I bet it does the same thing when scubadiving with the protective housing. I like to take long videos around the highest resolution. But you would think that it cannot overheat in the dive housing in the water but it does!
