“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 favorite experiences in vivid detail.”

Max Lens Mod 2.0

One noteworthy aspect of the HERO12 Black is its latest addition, the Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory.

This accessory allows for an expansive field of view of 177°, making it the widest available in the market. Furthermore, it offers a high resolution of 4K and a smooth frame rate of 60 frames per second.

The Max Lens Mod 2.0 can record videos and photos using three different field-of-view settings: Max Wide, Max SuperView, and the newly introduced Max HyperView.

This takes full advantage of the HERO12 Black’s larger 8:7 sensor, allowing for perspectives that are 36% wider in widescreen video capture and 48% taller in vertical video capture than the standard lens of the HER012 Black.

The wide-angle perspectives offered by these market-leading products are well-suited for capturing a range of experiences, including immersive first-person views of sports and activities and creating a dream-like sense of immersion in natural environments while traveling or engaging in outdoor adventures with companions.

The Max Lens Mod 2.0 has enhanced scratch resistance, with its glass material offering double the durability of its previous iteration.

Additionally, it is equipped with a robust hydrophobic lens coating that effectively repels water droplets, ensuring their swift removal from the lens surface.
