GoPro MAX: 360-degree video that actually looks good...

Creates great-looking; dynamic clips; Multi-function capabilities; Solid app experience

No 4K video capture; Expensive; Android 10 app needs work

The GoPro Max could be the next evolution of two product categories - 360-degree camera and action camera. GoPro's innovation when it comes to in-app editing transforms 360-degree footage into something anyone, irrespective of expertize, can enjoy and can make look truly dynamic.

The GoPro Max is GoPro's second 360-degree camera, following 2016's . But to think of it as a straight sequel to the GoPro Fusion is to get off on the wrong start. "This isn't Fusion 2," says GoPro Vice President of Product Management Pablo Lema.

The GoPro Max is a genre-defining product – the best 360-camera we’ve ever used

Incredibly flexible; Great image quality; Easy to use;

Bulkier than a regular GoPro; Can’t shoot in 4K;

So here’s the thing. The Max is an incredible camera if you’ve never used a GoPro Hero 7 or Hero 8. It’s also far more streamlined than the GoPro Fusion ever was. Fusion was a great tool, but the barrier to usage for day to day scenarios was high from a workflow standpoint.

One of the main attractions of shooting with a 360-degree camera is the ability to capture a scene without the need to stitch multiple shots from my DSLR camera and make it into a photo format that can be read as a spherical image.
