Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use it for skydiving. The shots it can get is amazing. The 8k makes a major difference in analyzing videos. If you already have a max, getting the max2 is worth the upgrade.

I use this on my drone to get really amazing shots. I highly recommend this GoPro.

I love this. It works great for dirt bike riding and off roading. It captures all angles and editing them makes it super fun. Would recommend

Works great and done amazing at high speeds . Super clear video in good light

More than a great buy, a great asset to any collection. Remember the Lexar micro sd card and reader.

Excellent camera and a whole experience enter this world.

Very nice cuality realy like them i will buy it again

Coolest camera ever. Im telling its worth every penny.

Excellent, product and whoever attended me I give him a 10/10

One of the best purchases I have made this year, one of the excellent cameras that can accompany you on walking routes, motorcycles, landscape view and record everything around you, without a doubt I would buy it again

The short version: extremely capable camera with some amazing features packed into a durable and well-designed system. Accessories are easy to use and it’s fairly easy to use right out of the box. Weaknesses are low light filming, camera heating up, and dealing with editing. The Go Pro Max 360 sports dual lens to capture amazing immersive 360 video in up to 8k resolution with 60 frame per second capability. It has incredible stabilization and great, crisp capture in good light. In low light, it is way less crisp. The camera also seems to heat up quite quickly--even though I was not operating it in temps above about sixty degrees F. The battery life could definitely be better. I am wondering how quickly the batter dies in truly cold weather. Investing in a second batter certainly seems like a worthwhile idea if you truly want to use this for longer recordings or a whole day of shooting. The setup on the camera is pretty quick and easy, but you do have to update and charge up the battery before recording epic excitement. Also, a micro SD card is required; Go Pro’s website explains which cards have the right capabilities for the camera, FYI. The options on board are many, but the menus are not hard to navigate once you get the hang of the different swipes and directions for the LDC screen on the camera. That said, it’s a *tiny* screen and it’s a little hard to navigate with human-sized fingers and a little hard to read for my old eyes. But, it does the job and lets the user preview video. Some trial and error is required to get used to the advantages of 360 capture vs. single lens capture in different situations. However, what is also impressive about the 360 is how much detail the camera can take in and that the user can later work with in editing. The single lens mode is also impressive nonetheless, with options for wide angle capture that the big lenses do well with. Also, these lenses are durable and replaceable. It is indeed possible (with a pretty hard twist) to pop the lens off and put on a new one should something happen. I did actually drop the camera with the lens cap off, though, and I can attest that at least short falls left the lenses completely unharmed. I had relatively little difficulty going from box to taking videos; that doesn’t mean the first videos have been great, but it’s not hard to “make it go.” There are some nice options included in the camera settings for 360 (like time lapse/time warp, star trails, light painting, night lapse) and for the single lens mode (time lapse/time warp, photo capture), but you can also adjust these presets and customize the on board options. Other options are for aspect ratio, recording resolution, frame rate, and other basic options. There’s also a ‘protune’ series of settings that allow finer adjustments to video settings (exposure, Iso, white balance, etc). Also, the voice activation for the camera does ACTUALLY WORK, and that is pretty slick. Definitely a plus if you’re doing some crazy stuff, wearing gloves, or any number of other reasons it might be inconvenient to pause and look at the camera screen or try to push a small button. The Go Pro system is pretty clever; the camera has several mounting features. In its most basic, the Max 2 360 has a convenient standard ¼”-20 thread to mount to most tripods or monopods. As well, the mounts include the Go Pro buckle system, which allows the user to clip into a variety of Go Pro mounts and accessories with relative ease. The clips are connected through a screw system, which allows the user to position the camera at a variety of angles. In addition, Go Pro sells quick change magnetic mounts that can bypass some of the fussiness of the thumb screws. The basic camera package comes with a curved mount to adhere to a helmet, a flat mount, and the thumbscrew/clip system. This means that out of the box, one either needs an existing tripod/stick or needs to be ready to mount the camera to a helmet or other surface you want to slap a mount onto, like a surfboard or dash, for a good amount of utility. Yes, one can just carry the camera, but that doesn’t gain full range of the camera. Having a chest harness or mounting the camera on a helmet or other surface and going hands-free, or mounting to a pole or other rig will let the camera shine. Note that the official Go Pro accessories are a bit spendy. But, they work well, though the buckles do seem like potential weak points down the line. Editing videos and especially editing the 360 videos is where the system gets a little rickety. The Go Pro Quik app is a nice resource and it's so fast, apparently the "c" had to be dropped from "quick") but it’s only available on mobile device platforms, not laptop platforms. So the user can edit on a tablet or a smartphone, which is great if one is out in the wild somewhere looking to post a video immediately, but less great if the user is trying to do so something with higher production value, frustrated looking at a tiny screen, or annoyed using a touchscreen. The Quik app actually has a lot of good features though I am still finding it aggravating for the reasons above. Added to this is that my tablet is a little too old, apparently, and I get warnings that Quik can’t show me the video in full resolution. The 360 videos are incompatible with other editors, so to use it, one must export it into a file that can be read by your video editing software. One can do this exporting on the computer from the Go Pro player, which can be downloaded off the Go Pro website, but the number of steps to make this video usable is aggravating. That said, one can do some basic editing the Go Pro Player. I will say that once the video is uploaded into a player/editor, the user can really see how much the 360 captures. It’s pretty incredible and the user can really manipulate what actually appears in the frame of a final product. Figuring out how to do all that and make it into a usable video and edit it takes a little more work; work which I have not really been able to do in depth so far. It make take less if the user is more experienced with Go Pro software and devices already. Still, it would be FAR BETTER if the Quik app could simply be downloaded as an actual computer program rather than only an app on mobile devices.

I love it to use it. Love 360 degrees views. I always use this when I go for travel

This is the first “360” style action camera I’ve ever owned and I have to say that I am pretty impressed. It is quite cool to be able to capture literally the world around you at the press of a button. The GoPro Max2, doesn’t have many buttons on it. A simple power on and record start / stop button. You could set a quick start up record option with a preset video setting if you choose which makes it even more convenient. There is various resolutions and field of view options but being that this is a 360 capable camera, I leave it at 360 all the time. You can record upto 8K and 30 frames per second but I like to use 5.6K and 60 fps for a smoother look. The build quality of this action camera is very good! It is definitely very rugged. I accidentally dropped it once already and nothing happened to it. No ding, no dent, not even a scratch one either of the lenses. I gasped as it slipped out of my hand and made a loud thud on the ground but it took the fall like a champ. I dropped it from about waist level and it is totally fine. The lenses are supposed to be removable and replaceable if you do happen to damage them, but I’ve had a hard time trying to remove them. I’ll google it if and when the time and need comes. There isn’t many accessories in the box. You get a usb C cable to charge the camera, a battery, and a single mount bracket. I believe it is for a helmet. It has a strip of double sided tape on it pre installed. If you already own other go pros. It seems this GoPro should be compatible with your accessories. So far I have to say that I am very pleased with the image quality out of the camera. Is it better than my phone? I’m going to say probably Not. BUT, I can capture much more interesting angles with this GoPro because of the versatility of mounting it almost anywhere and not worrying about it being damaged. The camera is smaller than i was expecting. It fits inside the palm of my hand. I like that it doesn’t draw much attention. You can walk around with it in your hand or strapped to your body or bag and just film the world around you and hardly anyone will notice. It is cool for vlogging or capturing action , sports and just everyday life. My only complaint about it all, is that it has a learning curve and takes some time to edit the video after ward. With the GoPro Quick app, you can auto upload and edit videos within the app. The app makes it convenient to transfer and edit videos, but be prepared to learn how to edit your videos. I went ahead and purchased a GoPro cloud subscription, it was quite affordable. You get unlimited cloud storage and uploads for your GoPro with this option and when you plug in your GoPro to charge, the camera will connect to the cloud and upload your files automatically. Very cool! I love that option and love that GoPro made it affordable. Videos take up a lot of storage, so it’s a nice option for storing and editing your videos. There is a lot to love with this little action camera. Video quality is excellent, sound quality from footage is very usable with the built in microphones. I need to learn to edit the 360 footage better to make my videos more interesting lol, but it’s part of the fun! Would I recommend this? For sure. Especially if you are looking for a 360 camera. This camera is so easy to use and the option to sub for unlimited cloud storage from your GoPro is great,

Totally awesome footage of riding my 2025 ktm xcw 300 video

Having owned a GoPro Hero in the past, I have some experience with these cameras and was excited to get my hands on one of their newest models. The Max 2 is better by leaps and bounds and impressed me with how many things it improves upon. Pros: - First, the video and image quality is second to none. The 8k resolution is breathtaking. I've been taking photos and recording video for the past several days and am in awe with the results. - A downside to older GoPro models is that if you damaged your camera lense or the battery began to degrade or fail, the device could become basically useless. With this model, not only can you replace the battery (or keep a secondary one handy), but the lenses can be replaced if damaged. These features are very welcome, especially since GoPros are so commonly used with outdoor activities where they are constantly at risk of damage. It's nice to know that my investment in a high quality camera like this is less risky. - The dual-lense 360 degree capture feature is innovative and remarkable. Being able to capture moments in front and behind the camera at the exact same time lends itself to some really incredible opportunities for creators. I could see this feature being used at live events where you can see the crowd's reaction at the exact same time as memorable events occur during an event/game. Or imagine skydiving and being able to capture a 360 degree view! - The GoPro Quik app is really well designed. You can tell that great care was taken to make it user-friendly and feature rich. It is first used to connect the camera and update the firmware, but then becomes your companion to do so many other things. I loved being able to use my phone to get a near real-time view of what the camera's lense was seeing. Cons: - It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open the battery compartment where the SD card is also installed. Documentation didn't give me any hints as to how to get in there so it took a little trial and error and was a bit frustrating. But once you know how it's done, it's a pretty cool design. The Max 2 really impressed me in every facet. It's very well designed and worth every penny for such a high-end camera.

Included- Camera with battery, 2 protective lens caps, adhesive mount, mounting buckle and thumb screw,  USB-C cable, microfiber lens cloth, stickers The beauty about the GoPRo Max2 is that it will capture everything, 360 degrees around you. You don't need to worry about aiming and filming. It takes the guesswork out of it. Then later, you go and edit your footage on GoPro Quik app. MotionFrame is super easy to use. By moving your phone you can find the best angles you want to use. Then the app will smoothly and seamlessly transform it into a 4K video. Your videos will look professionally made. There is even two slow mode versions for special highlights- either 2x or 3x slow motion playback. The touch screen with your menu is easy to navigate. There is a camera mode - 360 spherical capture but there is also an option for single lens. Settings are customizable from the resolution of 4K, 5.6K and a true 8K. There is different settings in the frame rate- 24, 30, 60 and 90. The timer offers a 3 second or 10 second delay. The video setting has numerous presets into which each has further customizaion available. The Quik App allows you dig even deeper into settings and preferences.  Besides videos, The MAX2 makes a great camera for photos. It captures ultra high resolution 29MP 360 photos of everything around you. Using the Quik App, you have the flexibiltiy to edit any of your photos. You can reframe, crop, zoom, and more.  Transferring all of your content is so quick and easy. There's multiuple options for your convenience, whether it's wifi, wired USB 3, or direct from your SD card to your computer or you can use the unlimited cloud storage available to you.  It's so small and lightweight weighing only about 5 oz, but very durable. If you can dream up a place to mount your MAX2, you can pretty much do it. GoPro offers mounts for bikes, cars, poles and grips and even a surtboard. It has a universal 1/4-20 mounting thread so it's compatible with other standard accessories. It allows for endless possibilities for videos and photos for just about any advennture. The other cool feature, if your hands are free, the MAX2 has voice control commands. You don't have to miss any moment. The other really nice convenient feature is that if a lense breaks, you can easily replace it with a new one. It makes it way more cost efficient since you don't have to buy an all new camera and you also don't have to miss any of the action. You can take a quick moment to swap the broken one for the new one and then get back to it.   The GoPro MAX2 is very impressive. It's my first camera with the ability to capture 360 and it is next level. The possibilities are endless with the numerous mounts available and the easy MotionFrame and QuikPro app to make your videos awesome on any adventure you can dream up. 

Though I am familiar with the GoPro brand and action cameras in general, this is the first one I’ve personally owned. The GoPro Max2 is very compact but also very ruggedly built. It comes with a battery, USB-C cable, lens caps, lens cloth, an adhesive mount that is curved, and a mounting buckle and thumb screw. GoPro should have included at least one replacement lens since being able to easily replace one is hyped as a selling point. The Max2 is simple to operate – one button to power it on and off, and one button to start and stop recording. That’s it – touch a button and capture 360 degrees around you! All other control features and settings for the camera are easily done either through the Max2’s touchscreen menu or by using the GoPro Quik app. Oh, and one really cool feature is you can use Voice Commands with this camera! Video record is the standard setting, but there is a camera mode also. Out of the various resolutions, I prefer the 8K and frame rate of 30. I’ve found this to be best for photos so they don’t lose a lot of clarity when I edit them, and it makes the videos look amazing. Low-light images aren’t that great with this camera in any resolution, so it’s best to shoot in daylight or bright lighting. features. Other than that, footage and images have been clear with vibrant colors and great detail. Keep in mind that this camera is both a memory and a battery hog. You should be sure to use a micro-SD card rated at least A2, V30 so you’re less likely to get SD compatibility errors from the camera. Nothing can be stored directly onto the camera itself. There is also a cloud subscription you can purchase. Transferring your content is easy, but you will need the app or software installed to view or manipulate your content on the go. And as I mentioned, battery life is short-lived, so it’s a good idea to have an extra battery or two, especially if capturing in higher resolutions or for long periods of time. As for the ease of replacing the lenses, I have yet to be able to get one to screw off! So hopefully I don’t damage one where I have the need to replace it. I like that the Max2 mounting capabilities are so versatile with the right accessories and I can use the standard selfie stick and tripod I already have. The Max2 has a few drawbacks, like battery life and low-light resolution, but overall, it is an amazing, feature-rich and fun to use camera!

GoPro’s new Max 2 360 action camera is a new offering from GoPro for 360 video. GoPro has added a lot of features in the Max 2 as well as the GoPro Quik App. In The Box In the box, GoPro has included with the Max 2 a USB-C charge cable, battery, two mounts, two lens covers, and stickers. Max 2 Features The Max 2 supports up to 8K30 resolution and frame rate. It also supports options for lower resolution and frame rates ranging from 24fps up to 60fps. The resolution options are good for 360 video. It was also good to see that the 8K resolution is what I can get out of the sensors and that it’s not a lower resolution that is upscaled. I can also select single lens option for 4K resolution. I can still see stitching happening with the 360 video, but it seems to me to be better than most 360 cameras that I’ve tried. One of the best features is the ability to replace the lenses. GoPro will have a kit for extra lenses. This is a great feature as other 360 cameras that I have can’t have their lenses replaced by me when they get scratched or broken. Since the lenses on these types of cameras stick out, it is very easy to for them to get scratches and if I drop it without a cover I would be out of luck. Thankfully GoPro has thought that through and made it possible for me to get the lenses replaced when I need to replace them. I also like that it came with two lens covers. My other 360 cameras didn’t and I had to buy them for those cameras. Heat dissipation was a thought in the minds of the engineers. They made a grill on the front of the camera that helps a lot to dissipate heat. In my use of the Max 2, it did make a difference. The front of the camera gets much warmer than the rear. I did notice that the camera heats up rather fast when the ambient temperature is 75F. I’ll find out this spring/summer how long the camera will run when the temperature is 80F, 90F, etc. The Max 2 also has a standard GoPro mount on the bottom that will recess into the body and get out of the way when I’m using the built-in 1/4-20 mount point in the center of the bottom of the camera. The stitching of the 360 video I have shot with it did hide the pole I had it mounted on. GoPro points out that a stick/pole will be hidden as long as it is at least 14” long. That seems to be right in my use of the camera with a stick as it was longer than 14” and it resulted in the stitching removing the stick. Quik App The Quik app has come a long way since it was first released. GoPro has made it easy to edit and add in transitions through it. I used it on my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and on my iPad. It was easy to use on both, but was a little more so on the iPad due to the larger screen. MotionFrame worked well on both devices. There is also a lot of transitions and effects that can be dropped on the timeline. Changing the duration of various things that I put on timelines was simple and straightforward for me. I can also setup storing video/photos from the app to the cloud if I want to do that in the future. Up to this point, I’ve been using the camera with an AngelBird v60 microSD card. The speed of the card exceeds the minimum requirement and also makes it a little faster when using the app to transfer video from the camera to my phone or iPad as well as previewing video. GoPro has come a long way with this app. I hope to see them continue to make it easy to edit and add effects to videos. Final Thoughts I like the Max 2 better than my other 360 camera. I was glad to see GoPro provide lens covers with the camera. Even with the lens covers, accidents happen, so a thumbs up to GoPro for making it possible to replace the lenses when needed. The 8K native 360 video resolution is definitely a plus. Time will tell about the heat dissipation and how much the grill on the front helps when the temperatures outside increase for the Spring and Summer. The Quik app is now usable. I didn’t like either when it was first released, but now it works well and makes it much easier to edit video. With the Max 2, I will always get the shot since I can frame it however I want later in the Quik app. Overall I’m happy with the camera and I like that GoPro has done with it and the app. If you are looking for a 360 action camera, then consider the GoPro Max 2.

The GoPro MAX2 Delivers. After years of waiting for a successor to the GoPro MAX - the time is now to jump back into the eco system. I have used the MAX2 a handful of times and I am royally impressed with its crisp 8K (non-upscaled) resolution, beefy heat sync and replaceable lenses. GoPro listened to their community and learned a thing or two along the way. PROs: 1) Replaceable Lenses - FINALLY! This is a huge step in the right direction. If the replaceable lenses get damaged, you simply twist them off and throw on a fresh set - no tools needed. They can be a bit difficult to twist at first so I would recommend practice taking them on and off a few times to get it down pat. I think it was a miss not to include an extra set of lenses. Including a replacement set is like saying, "The first one's on us - GoPro's got your back". 2) 8K Resolution - Full disclosure, 8K is 30/25/24 fps - which is really impressive, but I like to shoot at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. Personally, 8K files are massive and most platforms compress the footage anyway. While video and pictures look amazing thanks to the new sensor, I probably won't take full advantage most of the time. That being said, it's always nice to have the option. 3) MotionFrame - This new feature is wild. While editing your 360 videos in the app, you can use your phone as if you are directing the scene you shot earlier. It almost feels as if you are recording video of your video in post - if that makes sense. It's a great concept and I can definitely see myself using this for shooting and editing social content more than anything. 4) Over Heating - Thanks to the beefy aluminum heat sync on the front of the MAX2, I can say for the first time in years, my GoPro did not shutdown unexpectedly. Granted, I was not able to test this on a hot summer day, but so far so good. CONs: 1) Lens Flare - Unfortunately, because of the additional replaceable lens, you do get some unwelcome lens flare in your shots when the sun hits the camera just right. I don't think it's a deal breaker, but worth noting. 2) Low Light - The MAX2 is fairly disappointing in low light situations. The MAX2 performs about as well as the MAX in my opinion. This isn't a great look considering the sensor has made drastic improvements to all aspects but this one. I didn't think it was worth dropping my rating because I almost never use my action cameras in low light situations. BUT if you do, keep this in mind.
