GoPro Hero 12 Review: Evolution vs. Revolution
Remember when action cameras were fun? The GoPro Hero 12 isn’t a revolutionary leap over the 11, but it’s a great choice for anyone looking for a new action camera and it’s also a great reminder of how fun these things can be. So let’s take look at everything the Hero 12 can do along with how it compares to older GoPro models to see when an upgrade makes the most sense!

GoPro sent me the Hero 12 or free, but this video is not sponsored and I’m under no obligation to make a video about it or say anything specific. I just like GoPros and it’s fun to have the chance to check out a new one. Read my Ethics Statement for more info about how I handle working with brands: https://himynameistom.com/ethics
