    Ok, right off the bat at 01:00 the 1/4-20 receiver, bonus! Wind noise reduced over 10 &11 - nice. Longer run-time without aux-pwr pack. No significant HDR improvement... and I don't want gps anyway. Don't want the max lens. I like your review, but something none of the reviewers touch on that is important to me - What is the closest focal distance with the GoPro Cameras? I need to know what the closest the camera can be to the subject and have it in focus. Thumbs up, wish you all the best. Thanks.

    You know when a action camera is so good that you can clearly see fish in the water whiles going zooming along. looks like grass carp or something surface grazing @8:59 👍🏻
    To me this is just worth the little extra,, the mic is excellent compared to the other two and overall clarity and almost lack of wind noise i really like. I would like to know what close up is like as wanted to use this as a bird camera, but i bet it is excellent. Good review

    Thank you for the video! I definitely don’t see the need for the 12 I just use it to record my rides and don’t do too much extra stuff nor do I plan to. I think ima go with the 11 just because it’s not much more expensive than the 10 atm, and just want to be able to use the media mod so I don’t have to tape the little 3.5mm mic adapter to the side of my helmet. Like it did with my old helmet.

    Even though the 10 didn't perform as well. I would like you to switch them around so the 10 is at the other end while filming and do this for them all. The 12 seems to be pointing directly at you and the others off to the side a bit. If you look at how far your arm is extended when you reach out on the 12 vs the others. They seem closer to your face. Angle makes a difference. Regardless the 12 is the best option.

    I want to make videos where I strap the gopro to my chest and go around photographing. I think the FOV on the 10 and 11 is perfect for this, on the 12 is might be too wide. But the 11 and especially the 12 have better battery life. So I guess I'll take the middle ground 11 which also has a mini variant. If the chest thingy supports mini gopros though. Thanks for the review!

    I do a ton of time;apse at night . I have a Brinno TLC 200 That is fantastic. But it stopped working so I upgraded to the TLC 300. Bottom line for night time lapse it sucks. Great in the daylight. I use the Go Pro hero 8 and have some semi good to sometimes great results. Cant wait to get the Hero 12 . Looks like some really great features. Do you have any recommendations for the best camera set up for night time , time lapse?? THX for making the vid.

    Im having trouble deciding between the 12, 11, and the max 360 one. I want the GPS overlay but I've also seen that the max may not be worth it. I am looking to record more of action videos while riding through trails on a dirtbike and wanted to see your opinion. Leaning towards the 11 as of now as it is very similar to the 12 and has the GPS overlay for speed

      It's going to be a headache to find a good working bluetooth. I tested a bunch of headsets and some of them do a horrible job. Make sure that the bluetooth connection is a microphone next to your mouth, and not a microphone inside the earbuds for example. The feature of the bluetooth (with HDR mode) was the reason why I bought it but I have not been impressed yet with the bluetooth capability. They are gonna have to improve it.

    @joshuabray37 4 місяці тому

    Great review! I have the Hero 10 and am pretty satisfied with the image quality. My issues with it are the constant overheating and it can be difficult to turn on. Sometimes it will randomly turn off. I use it on trips and mount it to my backpack, put a large micro-SD card in, connect to an external battery and basically record all day. Intermittently, it will refuse to use the external battery. It seems a bit buggy. I'm hoping the 12 has corrected some of this. If it has, I'll gladly get it. I really like my Hero 10, and can look past some of these issues, but they are really annoying.

    1:08 Hi Ben. Regarding the 1/4 20 mount of the new GoPro, I believe the Falcam F22 quick release system could be a good option to look into. Personally, I use the Falcam F22 system to mount my external monitor to my camera. It allows me to mount and remove my accessories in a sec. Now, I cannot live without it. Great video and awesome comparisons as always. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Yo I hope that the new hardware they drop will be worth the ticket it cost. I have a 10, and I can use it for what I need close up shots on the water with no housing is huge. But once you learn how your GoPro can be used in a shot they can all come out like a 12. But the software improvements and new features seem like a good enough reason to upgrade. Also the other new cameras are really competitive with video quality and features
