Even though the newer Hero13 Black is out, the Hero12 Black still nails the fundamentals that made GoPro the go-to name for action cameras. And right now it's available at a solid discount-$299.95 at Walmart, down from $349.99, and cheaper than Amazon's current $369 listing.

It's waterproof, tough enough to survive crashes and splashes, and compact enough to mount just about anywhere. PCMag gave it an outstanding" rating upon its launch, praising its stability, image quality, and ease of use, while Lifehacker's own Stephen Johnson called it one of his favorite products ever.

Performance-wise, the Hero12 Black can shoot up to 5.3K at 60 frames per second, offering 91% more resolution than 4K, and the stabilization makes handheld shots look like they came from a gimbal. Plus, you get both front and rear displays, which make framing easy, whether you're filming yourself or capturing what's in front of you. The Hero12 also shoots in an 8:7 aspect ratio, making it easy to crop videos for both widescreen and vertical social content. That versatility is a big deal for creators who want to repurpose the same clip for YouTube and Instagram without reshooting. Footage is stored via a microSDXC card, and you get Bluetooth, wifi, and USB-C connectivity for quick transfers.

One of the biggest changes in this generation is what GoPro removed. There's no built-in GPS, which means you won't get automatic speed or route overlays, but you also won't burn through battery as quickly. That said, the battery still won't last a full day if you're recording continuously, so a spare is worth having on hand. On the bright side, it's waterproof down to 33 feet (10 meters) without a case, which makes it great for beach trips, pool footage, or even rainy hikes.
