The GoPro Hero 12 already had the promise of a better battery life than its predecessors. When you toss a battery grip into the mix, the company says you’ll get over five hours of continuous 4K recording at 30 frames per second (depending on conditions). That’s bound to be pretty enticing for those who like to capture as much footage as they can during a day of action sports or travel vlogging. What’s even better is that a bundle of the camera and battery grip is on sale for $499 at Amazon and GoPro directly. The bundle is $100 off the regular price and a record low.
Along with 4K footage, you can film in HDR at a resolution of 5.3K at up to 60 frames per second. You can shoot in 4K at up to 120 fps too, while there’s 10-bit color support. A vertical capture feature makes it a cinch to shoot footage for apps like TikTok even while the camera is in a horizontal orientation.
GoPro’s stabilization tech is in full force here as well, with the company claiming HyperSmooth 6.0 can give you “impossibly smooth footage no matter how rough it gets.” A horizon lock option should keep the horizon steady as you move the camera.
There’s directional audio support thanks to the microphone on the included Media Mod, which has a 3.5mm mic port and micro HDMI port too. You can also connect AirPods, Bluetooth earbuds and wireless microphones to the camera and even use voice commands..
The battery grip affords you single-hand control over the camera. It has a built-in tripod and you can remove it to operate the GoPro Hero 12 remotely from up to 30 meters (98 feet) away. Along with the battery grip and Media Mod, the bundle includes a self-explanatory Light Mod and Enduro Battery.
