The GoPro HERO12 Black, released in September 2023, is the latest model in the HERO line (as of October 6, 2025, when the HERO13 has been announced but details are scarce). It builds upon the HERO11's successful design, retaining the same large 8:7 aspect ratio sensor, but focusing on software and performance enhancements. It delivers improved battery life, professional-level features, and enhanced audio capabilities.
