NEW GoPro HERO12 Black Action Camera w/ New Max Lens Mod 2.0
Patrik Orcutt 09.27.23
GoPro has just released the 12th version of their ever-popular Hero Action Cam line – the GoPro HERO12 Black Action Camera. While I think the Hero line has plateaued for a few years now, it is still nice to see the company constantly releasing new cameras that are technically better than the last one. It seems that one of the big add-ons for the Hero 12 is the New Max Lens Mod 2.0. While not included with the base Hero 12, this mod will allow for a 177° field of view for POV shots. While I love my current GoPro 10, my biggest gripe with the camera is its battery life and its susceptibility to cold weather. Happily, it looks like they have looked into this issue and have upgraded the batteries. Below are a full list of specs from GoPro. For more information and where to buy click HERE!
