General
- Brand: GoPro
- Model Number: CHDHZ-202-XX
- Product Name: MAX 360 Action Camera
- Color: Black
Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Image File Format(s): H.264, MP4, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)

Q: What is the difference between this and the CHDHZ-201-XX ?

A: There are no differences in the MAX camera itself. The difference in these models is in how they're packaged. The 201 is the display case packaging. The 202 is packaged inside a reusable carrying case.

Q: gopro max 360 says memory card capacity 256 gb Can I use a class 10 512GB /1tb card? If so, what is the longest i can continuously record ? Lastly, is there a pause function when recording or would that create a new file?

A: 256gig is the limit. Check the recommended card. Mine is the SandDisk. SanDisk - Extreme PLUS 256GB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card. Since you’re going to be taking videos and photos, You want the best. I also highly recommend getting the Platinum™ - Essential Accessory Kit for GoPro Action Cameras. Photography has been my hobby ever since I was a kid.

Q: Can you record while charging, or connected to a 5 volt battery pack? I can record with my hero 8 while using a battery pack. Can you do the same with this camera.

A: Yes, the MAX can record while being charged from a power source like a wall plug or a battery pack.

Q: Will the camera overwrite if sd card fills (like a dashcam)?

A: Nope! It will stop filming immediately and you will have to free up space.

Q: Is this the newest version? And does it come with a memory card?

A: Mine did not come with memory card. Purchased in store Jan 2022

Q: Can you control the camera remotely from a smartphone? For example, starting/stopping recording or taking photos.

A: Yes, you can pair the MAX to the Quik app and control these features. In addition to the app, you can also control some of these functions by voice using the Voice Commands feature on the MAX.

Q: Can this mount to a standard camcorder tripod?

A: The MAX uses the GoPro mounting system, which is different than the screw style system used on standard tripods. There are adapters though that allow for GoPro cameras to connect to standard tripods that are sold separately.

Q: Is this the GoPro camera that is able to set on at the back of a car ?

A: You can mount it to a car . I have it mounted on my motorcycle .

Awesome camera
a lot of the negative Amazon reviews almost swayed me NOT to get this camera. But I’m glad I took the chance and bought it because I haven’t really had any of the issues that most of common complaints seem to be. #1 don’t buy this thing expecting to take extremely long 1 +hour long 360 degree videos, it will take forever to render the video on probably ANY computer. #2 battery life. I bought this in the middle of winter, so I’ve only been using it in cold 10f weather and I’ll get 45 minutes out of one battery (not filling non stop, but rather taking all the short clips I could possibly need) I bought extra batteries and bring them with. I mean, how long do people expect these tiny batteries to last in what’s basically a compact COMPUTER that’s doing an amazing amount of video capturing with two lenses and 6 microphones!?!?!? #3 complaints of software/taking to long to edit or produce a video from footage. Again, if you’re taking extremely long 360 degree video footage, you’re going to be sorely disappointed trying to edit and make a usable video. Use this thing for shorter clips and you’ll be happy. That being said, I did have issues with the Quik app not working on my old android phone, the processor simply wasn’t powerful enough. Go pro should be a little more transparent in making sure the consumer understands that your phone needs to be “up to snuff” in order to use this software. That being said, I was long overdue to upgrade my phone, went with an iPhone, and the go pro quik app has worked pretty much flawless for me. Voice commands work great. Even outdoors with wind blowing and my 5” fat bike tires crunching through icy snow, I’m still able to use the voice commands on this camera. Oh yeah, if you don’t want your lenses to get damaged, USE THE PROTECTORS THAT COME WITH IT. That’s a no-brainer. Yet a repeated complaint I read about lenses being scratched. All in all, I love this camera and wish I got it sooner. It adds a whole new dimension when making first person POV video’s for things like mountain biking, or skiing. And if you get it and it’s not what you thought, return it. You have nothing to lose. The pictures I posted you can see my helmet Mount, that’s because I’m not using an extension to move camera away from base,

Great camera - opens up new creative possibilities
I picked this camera up for more creative shooting using the 360º mode. This camera truly doesn't disappoint. Besides using both cameras for 360 mode, you can use the front and back cameras independently in HERO mode by tapping a specific item on the screen. The coolest thing about this camera is being able to re-compose photos after shooting to get either the shot you want or to toy around with cool effects the 360º camera provides, just be aware that there's some stitching the goes on so you may notice a visible line where the 2 photos / videos line up. I also have the Hero 10 Black and have difficulties figuring out which camera to use a t times since the 10 is a much better camera overall, but obviously does not have the dual camera set-up. The only complaint I have of this camera is the protective lenses tend to collect dust quickly and may produce reflections in your shot so you'll need to be aware of the sun and how that might affect your shots. Using the app allows you to create panning videos by setting keyframes to automate your videos but can be a little time consuming. That being said, if you already have a workflow using Quik because you have other GoPro cameras, the MAX is no different and will work seamlessly using that simple app. An additional benefit is if you have the GoPro subscription, this camera is covered (last I checked) by their replacement policy which means you can use it without fear of damaging it with an active subscription so this alone was well worth selecting this camera over the Insta360 (understanding the Insta360 is both newer and takes a much more modern approach). I love this thing for specific types of activities or for specific types of creative shots. If you're more of grabbing shots

Great 360 Action Camera
Purchased this on sale at Best Buy for snowboading trips with my sons since my GoPro Fusion stopped working after just two seasons yet it had exceeded the warranty period. Overall it performed well, and like most reviewers mentioned, the Max's battery life left more to be desired. I also learn the lens could have moisture build up that ruins the takes, so the cameraman needs to keep wiping them under some conditions. But the camera held up even after a few spills without any protective case.
