GoPro has announced a new flagship camera starting at Rs 45,000. Dubbed the Hero12 Black Camera, this tiny device is a vlogging powerhouse capable of recording stunning high dynamic range (HDR) video in up to 5.3K resolution.
The Hero12 features 2x longer runtimes than its predecessor thanks to a “redesigned” power system and features support for Apple AirPods and other Bluetooth audio devices including earbuds, headphones, and microphones, making it great for vlogging, scene narration, and issuing voice commands.
Additionally, the camera features GP-Log with available LUTs for more control and colour grading in post-production, alongside optimised encoding for smaller image and video file sizes.
The Hero12 also features the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory, which boasts the market’s widest 177° field of view at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. This accessory can capture in three FOV settings – Max Wide, Max SuperView and the all-new Max HyperView.
Lastly, the Hero12 Black features an updated user interface with simplified controls and a new Vertical Capture Mode, designed for sharing to vertically-oriented social platforms.
“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 favourite experiences in vivid detail.”
The Hero12 Black and Hero12 Black Creator Edition are available for pre-order for Rs 45,000 and Rs 65,000 respectively through Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales. While these cameras will be up for orders starting September 13, 2023, 6:30 PM IST onwards, the Max Lens Mod 2.0 will go on sale in November.
