Our take on the GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition

The GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition bundles the HERO12 Black action camera with the Volta hand grip, Media Mod and Light Mod to form a complete vlogging and content creation kit. The camera shoots 5.3K video at up to 60fps, 4K at 120fps, and 27MP photos, with HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization and a waterproof body. The Creator Edition adds a battery grip, directional microphone, cold shoe and LED light, making it more versatile for handheld shooting than the standard HERO12 Black. Reviewers praise the improved stabilization and longer runtimes with the Volta, but note the added bulk and the fact that the Mods are not waterproof.
