There's also an optional Max Lens Mod 2.0 which gives an entirely new meaning to word "ultrawide".

GoPro Hero 12 does not have twice the battery life of the Hero 11. GoPro does not make this claim, they just mislead people into making the claim for them.

"In 5.3K60 recording mode, the Hero 12 can shoot for 70 minutes on one charge, whereas the Hero 11 Black would give up after 35 minutes"
This statement is false, according to GoPro's own record time claims.

The Hero 12 has "double runtime" in situations where The GoPro Hero 11 would overheat.
The official claims of battery life for a Hero 11 without thermal shutdown is 61 minutes. The 35 minutes is how long a Hero 11 will run before overheating, not before the battery drains. (Although in reality it's more like 10-20 mins).

    The GoPro Hero 12 Black is available for pre-order on GoPro.com today for $399.99 or €449.99. The Max Lens Mod 2.0 can be yours for $99.99 or €109.99. The release date is September 13.

    This part is very confusing. It does not say what cost 449.99 also the max lens mod price difference and it sounds like you buy some extra add on like Motorola had its Motomods.

        Big Louie, 07 Sep 2023So you have to subscribe to edit your videos with GoPro... moreFor certain advanced editing features you do. You get a lot of standard editing out of the box

            ....GoPro Hero 12 Black is here with twice the battery life, Bluetooth audio recording...and same old unreliable footage loss.

              So you have to subscribe to edit your videos with GoPro's software?

                Zendroid, 07 Sep 2023So now it can last 5 hours of 1080P timelapse? 5 hours for a timelapse is pretty decent
                especially doing timelapses each 1 hour or longer per second, it has to charge the camera every time it runs low on charge. would create impressive results though.

                  "Free for GoPro subscribers"

                  Great, more software as a subscription. Companies SUCK

                    Bluetooth audio recording? hell nah😭😭 garbage sound quality on high quality video. and may present some delay.

                      So now it can last 5 hours of 1080P timelapse?
