GoPro Hero 12 Black action camera
Wherever you go, whatever harsh temperature or weather conditions you encounter — on a boat, at a beach, on a ski slope, underwater, or even while soaring through the air on a zipline — with an action camera, you can record every second of your adventure without having to lug heavy gear.
One of the very best and most versatile action cameras on the market is the GoPro Hero 12 Black. It’s water,- temperature- and shock-resistant. It’s also supported by a vast ecosystem of mounts and accessories, so you can capture breathtaking video or still images from a first- or third-person perspective.
This camera can capture video in up to 5.3K (30fps) resolution and then allows you to review and edit from your smartphone, tablet or computer before sharing on social media. In fact, the GoPro app uses AI to make editing video footage a very simple and quick process that generates pro-level results.
What we love about this camera is that there’s a mount for just about any activity you can imagine, so you can securely attach the camera to your body, helmet, sports gear, or even your dog, and then record ultra-sharp and smooth content with an extremely wide field of view.
This latest version of the GoPro camera is easier to use than ever, which is why we think it’s the ideal vacation option for just about anyone — even if you won’t be scuba diving, skydiving or hiking through a rainforest.
