The GoPro Hero12 Is Now $50 Off.
Despite the release of the new Hero13 Black , the Hero12 Black still boasts the same features that made GoPro a popular action camera brand. And it’s currently on sale at a hefty discount: $299.95 at Walmart, down from $349.99 and cheaper than the current price of $369 on Amazon .
It’s waterproof, durable enough to withstand drops and splashes, and compact enough to fit almost anywhere. PCMag magazine gave it an “outstanding” rating upon its launch, praising its stability, image quality, and ease of use, while Lifehacker’s Steven Johnson named it one of his favorite products .
In terms of performance, the Hero12 Black can shoot up to 5.3K at 60 fps, offering 91% more resolution than 4K, and stabilization makes handheld shots look like they were taken with a gimbal. Additionally, you get both front and rear displays, making framing easy, whether you’re filming yourself or what’s in front of you. The Hero12 also shoots in an 8:7 aspect ratio, making it easy to crop video for both widescreen and vertical social media content. This versatility is essential for creators who want to reuse the same clip for YouTube and Instagram without re-shooting. Footage is stored on a microSDXC card , and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB-C are available for fast data transfer.
One of the biggest changes in this generation is something GoPro has abandoned. There’s no built-in GPS, meaning you won’t get automatic speed and route data, but the battery also drains more slowly. However, with continuous shooting, the battery still won’t last a full day, so it’s a good idea to have a spare on hand. On the plus side, the camera is waterproof to 10 meters without a case, making it a great choice for beach walks, poolside photography, and even hiking in the rain.
