GoPro HERO12 (Hero 12) Black – Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K HDR Video, 27MP Photos, 1/1.9″ Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization + 64GB Card & 50 Piece…

We researched all the gopros and this one is definitely spendy but so easy to use and has awesome features. Got for my husband who wants to take videos of the farming we do. He loves the time lapse and how easy it hooks up to his phone. He isn’t the biggest fan of complicated technology so he appreciates the features that are easy to use. The battery life sucks but we have battery banks to use. That’s been a common thing with go pro so it’s not a surprise.

This go pro, my brother in Christ, this Go Pro makes me unreasonably angry.
The cheap touch screen display is near unusable, with the product often turning on with no input available. Just recording, you turn it on, it just stars recording. No way to adjust setting or anything, just a million 20 second clips of you desperately trying to plead with the cheap toy’s setting.
The software, which costs $150 a year, does not reliably connect with the camera, and when you remove the camera from the app connection, it will take hours of troubleshooting and set up to re-establish connection.
All of this, combined with the pitiful battery life, and the worst user-interface I have encountered since the days of dial-up, make this product one of the most frustrating purchases of my life, considering the immense price.
Cheap, poorly constructed, and obviously barely tested or refined. I just cannot say enough bad things about this product.
Do not walk, run towards a different camera set up. Unless you need this for scuba diving or sky diving, your money will be much better spent on a less durable digital camera and microphone that won’t be a giant headache.

I had been using an older Kodak HD camera, but it died recently, so it was time for an upgrade. This camera is a lot better overall, and the wireless integration seems like a nice feature, but I could not get my iPhone 15 to recognize it within the app. So far, I’ve just transferred the videos directly to my laptop, which is what I’ve done with the Kodak.

I’m using it a car for when I’m driving on a track. The Image quality is really good, and field of view is more than what I got with the Kodak. The camera does a decent job of filtering out wind noise. I was hoping there’d be a way to integrate an external mic, but I haven’t researched enough to see if that’s possible. With the noise cancellation, I am beginning to wonder if it’s even necessary. I ended up getting 60-70 minutes of battery life for video. I just hopped on the GoPro bandwagon, so I don’t know if that’s bad or good.

The accessory pack is good, although the image shown is a little misleading. It seems to imply that you’re getting a second battery. My kit did not include a battery (one came with the camera). That’s when I read the Details of the listing, which doesn’t list a battery, yet there it is in the photo (to the left of the Memory card adapter). I also can’t remember if I got a memory card, because I ordered several of the same size and capacity as the one in this kit, they both arrived around the same time. Otherwise, all of the accessory brackets and such are decent, and necessary. If the GoPro package itself had an adapter to a standard camera mount, I might not have purchased the kit. The tripod is ok, but small, and I will probably make use of the Selfie Stick, if only to annoy other people around me. I’m not really complaining about the kit, and it’s hard to argue against it, because it’s a really good value for what you get. Who knows? Maybe I’ll use it on a boat, and use the yellow float attachment, or maybe I’ll attach it to my helmet at some point, and the accessory case is really good if you need to hold just the essentials for your trip, like a couple batteries and a charger, charging and transfer cables, and the mount pieces you need.

Bought this last minute to take on a maine roadtrip. Quality is great, the mic worked very well. Easy to operate. Easy to change from car mount to head mount, to chest mount, etc. Perfect for adventures!
