Meet the new benchmark for action cameras. The GoPro Hero 12 Black, now available to rent at Unicorn Films, takes the industry-leading performance of its predecessor and elevates it with a suite of powerful professional features. This camera is designed for creators who demand the best, from professional filmmakers to adventure enthusiasts. For any production in Delhi-NCR or across India, the Hero 12 Black delivers stunning image quality, pro-level workflow integration, and the legendary durability you expect from GoPro.
A New Standard in Image Quality: HDR and GP-Log
The Hero 12 Black introduces two incredible tools that will transform your footage. The new High Dynamic Range (HDR) video mode captures a greater range of detail in both the shadows and highlights of your shot. This results in breathtakingly vibrant and true-to-life footage, preserving the subtle colors of a sunset or the rich textures in a forest. For professionals, the addition of GP-Log is a game-changer. This feature captures footage in a flat, logarithmic profile, preserving the maximum amount of dynamic range. It provides a perfect “digital negative” for:
Power to Go Further: Radically Improved Runtimes
GoPro has completely re-engineered the power management in the Hero 12 Black to deliver up to 2x longer runtimes. This is a massive leap forward, allowing you to capture more of your adventure on a single charge. You can now record over 70 minutes of continuous footage at 5.3K60—twice that of the previous generation. This means less time swapping batteries and more time staying in the moment.
Professional Audio and Mounting
For the first time, you now have Bluetooth audio support. Wirelessly connect your Apple AirPods, earbuds, or a dedicated wireless microphone to record crystal-clear audio for vlogs and interviews, completely cable-free. The Hero 12 Black also adds more versatility with a new, standard 1/4-20 mounting thread integrated between the classic folding fingers, so you can easily attach it to standard tripods and mounts without an extra housing.
The Best, Made Better
The Hero 12 Black is built on the incredible foundation of its predecessor. The revolutionary 8:7 aspect ratio sensor is back, giving you the freedom to shoot once and crop for any social media platform later. The Emmy® Award-winning HyperSmooth stabilization is now in version 6.0, offering even smoother footage with a minimal crop. And it’s all built into the same rugged, go-anywhere, waterproof body that has made GoPro the world’s favorite action camera.

The three main upgrades are: the addition of HDR video for more vibrant footage, GP-Log for professional color grading, and a massive improvement in battery life, with up to 2x the runtime in key modes.
GP-Log is a logarithmic picture profile that captures a "flat" image with the widest possible dynamic range. It's designed for professional users and advanced creators who want to color grade their footage to match other professional cameras or to have maximum creative control over the final look.
Yes, it uses the same incredible 8:7 sensor. This allows you to capture a tall shot that can be easily cropped to either a wide 16:9 format for YouTube or a vertical 9:16 format for social media from the same clip.
You can now wirelessly connect Bluetooth devices, like Apple AirPods or other wireless microphones, directly to the camera. This is fantastic for vlogging or interviews, as it allows you to record high-quality audio without any messy cables.
The Hero 12 Black uses the same great Enduro battery that comes with the Hero 11, but the camera's processor and power management have been dramatically improved. This increased efficiency is what results in the much longer runtimes.
