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.- 5.6K 360 video
- 360 video reframing
- On-camera stitching
- Digital stabilization
- Fits on existing mounts
- Limited shooting modes
- Low-res 2D footage
- Poor in low light/ underwater
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.- Easy to use
- Simple editing
- Good environmental audio capture
- Multiple fields of view
- Non-360-degree video quality not near Hero 8 Black level
- Cheaper alternatives are now plentiful
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.- Really simple to shoot with
- Editing from the mobile app is easy
- Durable build
- Fits most existing mounts and handles
- It's not cheap
- Video captured in Hero mode isn't as good as an actual Hero
- Sometimes struggles with exposure and shadows
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.
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.- Familiar
- durable GoPro hardware
- Great audio quality
- Responsive touchscreen
- Stabilization is jittery
- especially at night
- Linear
- non-fisheye footage is grainy
- Doesn’t have as many resolution and frame rate options as the Hero 8
GoPro MAX 360 Action Camera CHDHZ-201-RW review
Nothing combines action cam and 360 video as well as the Max. There's a clear direction for improvement but it gets so much right and makes working with 360-degree video an absolute dream
GoPro Max Review
The GoPro Max completely rethinks how to shoot and edit 360-degree video compared to the company's last attempt, the GoPro Fusion. It makes working with 360-degree footage a breeze and doubles as a capable GoPro Hero action cam too, boasting astounding image stabilisation and great versatility across its feature-set and shooting modes. Better colour science, low-light performance, image fidelity and UI stability are all areas to work on but the issues in their current guise are minor when you look at the overall offering provided by the Max.
Awesome
This is so cool. Makes amazing videos and pictures. So much you can do it that makes it so good and different. Can't wait to try it out more
