I’ve always wanted a GoPro and a 360 camera, so I was ecstatic about adding the GoPro Max 360 to my camera gear. They really live up to their reputation as rugged action cameras, but it’s the image quality and audio pick up that makes them stand out. The ultra wide 13mm lens captures everything, especially with 2 of them in 360 mode! It does an outstanding job stitching photos and footage and it’s so cool how you can capture an entire room or car interior with 1 single 360 shot. The phone preview really makes it easy to confirm what you’ve shot as well.
The ease at which you can upload and edit videos is also remarkable. If you’re in a pinch or just want a quick workflow it’s easy to edit footage on your phone, but if you’re doing more than quick clips, I highly suggest editing on a computer for the best quality. The voice control works well so far, but I was surprised I couldn’t find a paper with the commands and had to look them up on the internet. In terms of cons, I honestly don’t have much. It’s advertised as 2x slo-mo, but the camera maxes out at 60fps. It’s ok but I was hoping for the smoothness of 120fps. Apparently there’s software to make it smoother but a true 120 would be a lot nicer. I also had trouble with the advertised “invisible pole shots”, because almost all of my shots still had the pole in them. I thought there was some kind of one touch editing solution, but I’ve come to learn it’s about how you hold the camera. Keep it straight with the pole and it should disappear in the stitch lines.
Do I recommend the GoPro Max 360 camera? Absolutely. It’s fun for any skill level, but most importantly it’s easy enough for novices to use and has the features and build quality for pros to appreciate. It offers a lot of room for your skills to grow and being waterproof up to 16’ provides a lot of cool opportunities. It’s an excellent camera to add to your collection and a good reminder to go out and do more cool stuff. Get one.

To start, this is not the New GoPro 360 Max. This is the old camera with upgraded features. The 360 feature is quite remarkable, the picture clarity is way superior to the insta 360 X3. Pros: more vibrant and more clear videos compared to the X3. The Go pro quik app is finicky. Also the tracking features is a little off. Might just manually control it. Camera is sturdy and the battery life is pretty decent. As all GoPro’s the ability to take Videos and Photos in low light condition is superb. The price is on point as well. Overall very impressed with the camera.

This product is easily a no-brainer. It works very well very intuitive and easy to use. I was able to watch a video read the directions and head out and start using it the same day the software is also easy to use and very intuitive..

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.

Great quality images. So very heavy though.
I'm also not a fan of the mounting system. It's so very bulky.
I'm still going to give it four stars because it does exactly what is advertised.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend the DJI nano. Far more versatile and lightweight. But also far more expensive.

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!

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.

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.
