Ben, you're giving us ALL the feels with this review. Thanks for putting HERO12 Black through the paces + especially for loving Max Lens Mod 2.0 as much as we do! Can't wait to see more 🤝

Great review and compare versions🎉 I hope lot of people learn from you how to do it 👍🏻 thank you

This is the first tutorial that kept me hooked from start to finish! Just bought my GoPro today, and I'm so excited to try out all these awesome tips and tricks. Thanks, everyone, and happy GoPro adventures! 🌟📸✨

Thank you. I feel like I can trust your video and look forward to the next video comparison between brands. Looking to get my first camera

Ok, right off the bat at 01:00 the 1/4-20 receiver, bonus! Wind noise reduced over 10 &11 - nice. Longer run-time without aux-pwr pack. No significant HDR improvement... and I don't want gps anyway. Don't want the max lens. I like your review, but something none of the reviewers touch on that is important to me - What is the closest focal distance with the GoPro Cameras? I need to know what the closest the camera can be to the subject and have it in focus. Thumbs up, wish you all the best. Thanks.

Great video. Which batteries do you suggest? Also, is there way to have the GP12 plugged in to AC power?

"Am I the only one who noticed how amazingly vivid and sharp the GoPro 10's footage is compared to GoPro 11 and 12?"

[dc-travel]

Great video! At 8:23 you are selecting mic channels. What software are you using when you do this?

[helenabadr]

Amazing review, man, you rock it! Thank you so much!!

[PatrickDKing]

@2:10 whats the make and model of the scooter you are using with the two wheels in front with the "off road" looking tires?

[sydvcam]

Amazing video!!! Love your detail on the overheating time difference

[TacoTheST]

this was super duper useful thank you so much! :D

Hi Ben, great video!!! I’ve got a question. I’m new to go pro and am pretty tech savvy but did you have problems with your GoPro 11 not charging?

[Alpha-JAlex]

Der beste Vergleich, den ich jemals gesehen habe. Danke!

[WeissHS]

I've been using my trusty old hero 4 for years now, it's probably time to upgrade. Great review!

[michaelzschoche]

Still rocking my 10 for scuba diving. I’ll wait for the 13 this year to upgrade probably.
