The media could not be loaded. I come from a gopro hero 301 and its fantastic, well.. i should say the battery it's not like i thought in 4k 30fps lasts about 1 hour of recording but 60fps reduces tu 30-40 minutos and it's starting to get warm very warm, but the quality its great i love the stabilization and the quality of the video, normally i record in 5.3k 30fps Angular for record my trips, I have been trying the hyperview but I think it is for other uses, maybe think about buying the lens 2.0 mod to have the superview with horizon lock, which is a great feature, the hdr from the standar video its looks the same thing ( maybe if you recording with the hdr inside your car and recording in the front maybe the sky looks better ) but one solution what i found its connect a powerbank (anker) and its works! for long trips in my bike or just sequence videos. Oh i forget the automatic upload to the cloud of gopro makes the camera too hot, i think about it and maybe upload manually in browser... ---update---- 2024-02-19 The camera is fantastic, it has excellent recording and stabilization, I use it on my bicycle on the handlebars I had a problem with heating, I could only last about 45 minutes recording at 4k 60fps, now what I did was buy a battery cover that has a hole in the charger, and I connected an Anker 10k portable battery, and that's how I solved the problem of the warming up, and I can record up to 5 hours with that battery. Also with the upload to the cloud, I had problems connecting to my new ax55 archer router, I detected that it was the 160Mhz frequency that created a conflict and did not allow me to connect, what I did was lower the router to 80Mhz and it started to upload, and the heating is the same there is no way, just take out the battery and connect it there if it remains normal, but regarding the wifi I activated the 160Mhz again and it remained connected and the upload finished, I have not yet tried again to see if it goes back up without making that change in the router. ... show more

    • Great Motorcycle Camera
Bought this to replace an old GoPro and they have come a long way. While some complain Hero12 and 11 are almost the same, I prefer the 12 because I don’t need the GPS function. The price was good and it is very easy to use. I am not crazy about the exterior case as far as appearance, but it is excellent quality. There is a speckled paint look (not sure how else to explain it) that I am not crazy about but ultimately it doesn’t matter so I still have 5 stars. The image quality is excellent and the battery life is much better than previous models I have owned. I am tired of companies always trying to get you to subscribe to some service after paying a lot for a camera but it is optional. Over all I think this is the best action camera out there and recommend it. ... show more

    • Great Camera with One Flaw
Much of the GoPro is first class. The features are numerous and the most common are easy to get to. I'm impressed with how the Quik phone app works so far. Given that you mount the thing in ways that make it hard to get to, the voice commands and use of the Quik app to control many functions is super useful. Now to the flaw: The charging is brain-dead! This is a serious problem though not fatal. The camera needs a 2 amp power supply that is NOT included. My Macbook supply does not have the needed rating so the GoPro will not charge from it. One every other USB C device I have, the charging on a weak power supply (lump) is just slower--where the GoPro simply refuses to charge! This means you need to carry around a special lump for it! I have USB ports in my car but none will work. This is a flaw that I hope they solve in the future since there is no reason a powered off device cannot charge from a low amperage (low wattage) supply, it will just charge slower. This high amperage (wattage) charging means the device is hot to the touch when charging. It uses a lot of power so it is also hot when running. There are ways to reduce the power it uses while running and I won't fault them for this, some things just take the juice. Given that the batteries can be swapped there seems no reason to force a fast charge. There is no reasonable excuse for NOT CHARGING slower on an under-powered lump, cmon GoPro! ... show more
