GoPro MAX 360 Action Camera CHDHZ-201-RW review

Last year, Insta360 revolutionized the idea of what a 360 camera could be capable of with the Insta360 One X. The One X was marketed not as a 360-degree camera, but instead a camera that could shoot 360 degrees of possible angles that could be accessed after the fact.

GoPro Max review

GoPro’s new Max 360-degree action camera is hell-bent on bringing spherical video to the masses. A new suite of on-camera processing removes the major pain-points from 360-video production, and integrates editing and reframing tools into the GoPro smartphone apps. It also bumps up the spherical resolution to 5.6K, offers flat 16:9 digital shooting lenses and will even live-stream in Full HD. Unfortunately, the limited 2D shooting modes are still a long way off competing with single lens action cameras. That said, the GoPro Max makes it easy to capture compelling and immersive reframed and 360-degree shots that are fundamentally impossible on traditional action cameras.

GoPro Max Review

Don't buy the GoPro Max if you want the very best 4K action camera footage around. Don't buy one if you want to shoot underwater, either. Do buy a GoPro Max if you want to have creative fun with an action camera. Its 360-degree editing is super-easy, it makes some wild-looking effects possible; and the "Warp" time-lapse video is great. This feels like a real 2-in-1 action camera.

GoPro Max review: Everything an action camera should be

One of the most versatile cameras to date, thanks to its dual-cameras setup and 360-degree footage possibilities. It's easy to use and easy to edit footage afterwards. But if you want 'normal' video then the Hero 8 is your better bet.

The camera for all

The ease of use on this camera is incredible. It's really easy to start shooting from the moment you pull it out of the box. It's possibly the most fun camera to use for any lifestyle videos. What's extra special about this camera is the way it works with the GoPro app. I mounted the camera onto our horse and filmed the kids going for a ride. Using the app, I edited the video by choosing my angles, saved it to my phone and then shared the video around with the family.

I Love It - Smooth Footage

Have the Go Pro 5 and was looking for an upgrade to 360. Strapped this to a drag car and loved how smooth the footage was and how easy it was to operate from my phone. Only downfall I have is that I can't use the app features properly to edit videos - but slowly learning from utube videos.

The 360-degree GoPro Max camera promises an easier, more streamlined workflow than last year's Fusion, but has more niche appeal than the less expensive Hero8 Black.

“360 still has growing up to do, but the GoPro Max is a step in the right direction.”

GoPro Max Review

The 360-degree GoPro Max camera promises an easier, more streamlined workflow than last year's Fusion, but has more niche appeal than the less expensive Hero8 Black. GoPro's second-generation 360-degree action camera, the Max ($499.99), is a lot friendlier to use than its first effort, the Fusion. You don't have to fiddle with dual memory cards, the software tools to work with 360 footage are a lot better now, and the camera has a touch screen so you can more easily adjust settings. It costs a bit more than our favorite action camera, the GoPro Hero8 Black, an item that's a better fit for most action videographers, but is worth a look if you're all-in on 360-degree capture and editing.A Smaller Fusion The Max takes its basic design cues from the Fusion. It has the same matte gray finish with a rubberized exterior, built to withstand drops and go underwater without the need for an external housing. But it's smaller all around, and adds a color touch screen so you can preview the frame from either of its lenses, and adjust settings via touch. The camera measures 2.7 by 2.5 by 1.6 inches (HWD), weighs 5.8 ounces, and is waterproof to 16 feet. It...
