Take panoramic footage with this GoPro MAX digital camera. The 16.6MP sensor captures detailed footage and 360-degree views, and the six built-in microphones record immersive audio. This GoPro MAX digital camera has a touch display that lets you switch between standard and 360-degree video modes and choose from multiple digital lenses to customize your footage.
Q: How long does the battery last.
A: It’s a pretty solid battery, got about 3 hours out of mine with continuous use.
Q: Does this come with hardware that enables the camera to be mounted to a bicycle's handlebars?
A: The MAX has built-in mounting fingers, so it can connect to nearly any GoPro mount. It doesn't come with a mount designed specifically for handlebars, but you can definitely get that mount separately. The mount you're going to want to look for is called the GoPro Handlebar / Seatpost / Pole Mount.
Q: Can the camera be controlled remotely?
A: Yes, by your smart phone through the GoPro app or with one of GoPro's optional devices
Q: Can this camera be use while mounted to a chest mount without affecting the image?
A: Yes you can turn on Hero mode and just use one camera not both.
Q: Why does Best Buy not provide free SD card which is shown on gopro direct website?
A: Because it's a GoPro promotion to help entice people to purchase directly from them. Economics.
Q: will it work in cold climates, like top of a mountain (Mt Rainier) without freezing
A: GoPro cameras, including the MAX, can handle extremely cold temps with no issues. The one area to watch out for though is the battery. Cold temps can drain the type of battery used in GoPro cameras faster than they'd drain at more normal temps. Try to keep the MAX warm between uses (ex. keep it in an inside pocket) and you should be fine.
Q: I see there's an app required to edit. Can I use it on my iMac? I do not have Microsoft.
A: To edit MAX footage, the GoPro Player app is a great solution. It's free and is available for both PC and Mac computers.
A: Bring extra batteries. Your camera may not last as long as the sparklers. I haven’t filmed fireworks with mine but I would suggest a smart phone on the ground facing up over a GoPro MAX
