The new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory enables the market’s widest 177-degree field of view at 4K/60 fps resolution and can capture video and photos in three field-of-view settings — Max Wide, Max SuperView, and the hyper-immersive Max HyperView.

Additionally, the Max Lens Mod 2.0 features 2x more scratch-resistant glass than its predecessor along with a durable hydrophobic lens coating.

Wireless audio support for Apple AirPods and other Bluetooth audio devices such as earbuds, headphones, and microphones is also included in the Hero 12 Black. This allows users to mount the camera on their vehicle or surfboard and use voice commands to control the camera.

The camera also comes with GP-Log with available LUTs for more control and color grading in post-production. The updated user interface includes simplified controls plus a new Vertical Capture Mode that captures vertical 9:16 aspect ratio video while the camera is mounted horizontally.
