GoPro Max 2

GoPro’s Max 2 is a worthy competitor to DJI and Insta360 with a focus on image quality and effective editing tools to make clips you might actually want to share.

In ideal conditions, the GoPro Max 2 boasts the best image quality of all the current small 360 cameras. In low light situations it’s not so impressive, and the tool-free replaceable lenses can be prone to condensation when conditions change rapidly. However, if you’re looking for a rugged daytime 360 shooter with best built-in mounting options, simple controls and a huge supporting ecosystem of accessories and software, the Max 2 is the action camera for you.

The GoPro Max 2 brings major improvements over its predecessor, including higher resolution video and greater post-production flexibility, for a powerful 360-degree alternative to traditional single-lens action cameras.

The GoPro Max 2 is the 360 camera action camera users – especially fans of the brand – have been waiting for. Professionals can feel confident it'll survive a shoot (or, if not, they can replace the lens easily) and that they'll have the image quality for post production with 10-bit 8K. Sure, higher frame rates would have been nice at 8K, but this camera still impresses on the inside and out.
