⭐ GoPro Max – Real-World Review (Especially for Mo

I’ve been using the GoPro Max mainly for motorcycle videos and general content creation, and it’s honestly been one of the easiest cameras I’ve used. For riding, the 360° feature is a game-changer. I don’t have to worry about lining up the perfect angle or missing a moment on the road — the Max captures everything around me. Later, I can reframe the shot however I want: forward view, rear view, side views, handlebar view — all from the same clip. For motorcycle content, that flexibility is huge.
Stabilization on the bike is excellent too. Even on rough roads or when I’m leaning into turns, the footage stays smooth and watchable. It also handles wind noise better than I expected, and the audio is actually pretty solid for vlogging while moving. The camera feels rugged enough to trust mounted on a helmet or the bike, and the waterproofing gives peace of mind if the weather turns bad.
Where it shows its age is in pure image quality. The 360 footage looks cool, but it’s softer than the newer GoPro and Insta360 cameras. If you’re riding at high speeds, you’ll notice the fine details in the scenery aren’t as sharp. Low-light riding (early morning, evenings) also brings more grain into the footage. Editing 360 video takes some extra time too — it’s not hard, but it’s definitely a different workflow compared to standard 4K.
Even with those drawbacks, the Max is still a great tool for creators. For motorcycle videos especially, being able to pull multiple angles from one camera saves time, mounts, and setup. It’s also great for general content — walking around, family moments, travel, behind-the-scenes stuff, or anything where you want a wide, smooth shot without thinking too hard about settings.
If you want super crisp 4K or slow-motion, you’ll eventually want to upgrade, but for a fun, flexible, easy-to-use camera that delivers great POV and riding footage, the GoPro Max is still one of the most versatile choices out there.

Wonderful image quality! Perfect gift for my husband’s hobby! He loved its size and how easy it is to carry it for his water sport adventures. He wishes it came with more accessories instead of having to buy separately.

2nd Gen 360 GoPro. The price dropped because the new version was released. It still works great and the software is very versatile to create 360 videos. Audio is clear. It is a little bulky and you have to hold with the lens facing down or out to get the full 360 effect and to hide any selfie stick. I want to use on a motorcycle, but will need a mount that allows full view of both lenses.
Is water proof, and I used on a snorkel trip with no issues. You cannot not plug in to do live video, the USB plug is only for data and charging, not for live stream. You may be able to use the software to live stream throw the app, but I have not tried yet.
My only issue is it is very easy to push the top power on button which starts a video. I accidently pushed it while on a hiking trip and did not notice until I heard it beep to shut off when the power was exhausted. It does take special Max 360 Enduro removable batteries which saved me.

GoPro hit it out of the park with this one. Video quality is what you would expect from a GoPro and the 360 video quality is great. Only issue I had was it got really hot when we were out in the Texas summer.

The camera is excellent great picture/viedo Quality easy editing,loads right to your phone If you have the subscription which is not much just an all-around step up from the original Max camera. The low light situation is still a problem but not a major one. Also, if you have a subscription, you get discounts on products which is great because GoPro stuff is not cheap.

I have been a fan of the GoPro Max since the original came out. I use it in all seasons and in many configurations. The Max never disappoints, and I am looking forward to putting this next generation to it's paces.

The GoPro Max is a fun, 360 camera for on-the-go. Perfect for getting those amazing action shots and integrates well with DJI’s Quik App editing software!

Best 360 camera on the market! Crazy 4k footage in 360. This is my second one and whenever I have to replace it I’ll definitely get the same one again.

As a unit, I like it a lot. As a go pro, it does as advertised as well as any new go pro. As a 360 cam it does good but the app where you edit the video is kind of unintuitive with 360 recordings. It can be looked over at the price of the insta360, but if you have the money I would just go with the X5.

Only had it for a week but it works really good. Little bit of a learning curve though for me. Would recommend it. Been wanting one for a while from when the fusion was still out and finally got a 360 camera.
