GoPro's Max 2 Sets the Bar for 8K Quality, but the 360 Camera Is Not without Its Flaws

GoPro's Max 2 offers 21% higher resolution than rivals with true 8K, six microphones, replaceable lenses, and improved battery life targeting content creators and professionals.

  • Pre-Orders opened today for the GoPro Max 2 360° camera, which ships from September 30 at $499.99 in the U.S.
  • GoPro returned to 360 cameras amid a mini-renaissance in spherical video, breaking with tradition this year by not releasing a new Hero Black and unveiling three new products.
  • Technical specs show the Max 2 shoots 8K/30, 5.6K/60, and 4K/100, supports 10-bit color and GP-Log, and includes a 1,960mAh Enduro battery, six microphones, and twist-off replaceable lenses.
  • Reviewers awarded the Max 2 Editors' Choice for 360-degree cameras, praising faster editing tools and its appeal to content creators and vloggers as an alternative to single-lens action cameras.
  • The Max 2's arrival pits GoPro directly against Insta360 and DJI, as GoPro's choice to skip a new Hero Black this year and launch three new products signals a deliberate shift.
