What the reviewers say
Published reviews from around the web
“I can't tell you how many people I have seen with GoPro knockoffs nevertheless refer to their camera as their “GoPro.” For the average person looking to document their life, any small camera is a GoPro.”
“The GoPro HERO12 Black creates some well-lit, great looking footage with plenty of features and stabilisation. It is one of the cheaper vlogging and action cameras around.”
A robust, feature-rich action camera that delivers quality footage and stabilization, though it offers only minor upgrad
“That’s not because GoPros are now ‘trendy’. It’s because GoPro cameras are incredibly versatile and user-friendly while boasting insane quality. It’s a lifestyle brand as much as an action camera company.”
