MAX2 is robust and durable with interchangeable lenses.² Simply pop in a new one if a lens gets damaged. After recording, you can automatically play back your footage in POV or selfie mode, or use the powerful yet simple editing tools in the GoPro Quik app to reframe your footage into shareable 4K video. Go vertical for TikTok or widescreen for YouTube, change angles and perspectives or add professional effects. Incredible image quality, GoPro durability and brimming with endless creative possibilities. It's more than just a 360 camera. It's 360...MAX'D.
Features:
MAX never misses a beat with true 8K 360 video
Never aim, capture everything around you in amazing true 8K 360 video, offering up to 21% more resolution than the competition.¹ Just press the shutter button to start recording. There's no need to frame the image or think about where your camera is positioned. MAX2 captures everything in stunning detail. You can then use the GoPro Quik app to reframe your 360 footage into traditional 4K video in just a few taps. These Ultra HD videos can be easily saved, shared and posted - just like any standard video - or played back on your phone, TV and other devices.
Invisible mount
Capture amazing pole shots where the pole disappears completely. Attach MAX2 to an extension pole using the 1/4-20 mounting threads on the bottom of the camera. The pole disappears from your videos and photos as if by magic. So you can easily create incredible invisible selfies that look like you're being shot by another person, stunning drone-like videos that look like you're being filmed from the air, and other iconic 360 shots.
The best POV
Get the most out of your creativity and get the widest, highest and most immersive point-of-view shots ever - including selfies, follow-cam shots and more from the same 360 video. The GoPro Quik app makes it easy to reframe your footage and create new videos from different angles and perspectives to get exactly the shots you want. You can also adjust video stabilization and Horizon Lock⁴ after recording.
Replaceable glass lenses¹
MAX2's replaceable lenses are water-resistant and made from super-strong optical glass - and if they ever get scratched, you won't have to replace the entire camera. So now you can shoot in extreme conditions, knowing that you can simply replace a damaged lens with a new one and get straight back to shooting without compromising image quality.
Super slow motion in 360
Slow down the action to the extreme with stunning 4K100 spherical video, allowing you to play back your footage in 3x slow motion. Or opt for higher resolution 5.6K60 video for 2x slow motion.
10-bit color in true 8K + GP Log
Take world-class footage to the next level. Capture over 1 billion colors in true 8K for more realism and smoother gradations in your videos. Advanced users can use GP-Log to capture more detail in their footage and make necessary image corrections in post-production (a lookup table/LUT is provided).
Epic 29 MP 360 photos
Don't aim. Just shoot. MAX2 captures stunning ultra-high-resolution 29 MP 360 photos of everything around you. The high-resolution photos give you the flexibility to crop, zoom, reframing and more with the Quik app. Create epic photos of the action in front of you as well as reaction shots of the people around you.
Easy editing with the GoPro Quik app
Editing 360 footage is called reframing, and the creative possibilities are endless. It's super easy to select the shots you want. Then you can track objects, add dynamic movement and transitions, and even use multiple reframing modes in the same clip - all with just a few taps.
Made-for-360 modes + CameraFX
MotionFrame makes editing your 360 videos as easy as moving your phone around to find the best angles. You can also keyframe the best shots in your 360 footage. The Quik app automatically creates smooth transitions in between. Add CameraFX to make your videos more exciting than ever with pro effects like Spin, Flip, Roll, Wobble, Tiny Planet and more.
Easy POV + Selfie Modes
MAX2 is the easiest way to get GoPro's world-famous immersive POV and selfie shots. It automatically plays back your footage from a front-facing 180° view or from the reverse angle for stunning third-person selfies that keep you in the center of the action. Shooting in these modes still captures everything in 360 so you can explore all angles.
Vertical + widescreen recording
Movies simultaneously for TikTok and YouTube. Capturing 360 footage lets you take any aspect ratio out of any shot. You get the best vertical footage for TikTok and other social platforms, as well as the best widescreen footage for full-screen playback on YouTube, your phone or TV - without having to change the mount.
Single lens 4K60 video + Max HyperView
Switch from 360 to single lens mode to capture stunning traditional 4K video with the front or rear lens. It features the 180° Max HyperView digital Lenses for the highest, widest and most immersive traditional field of view ever available on a GoPro, amplifying the sense of speed in your footage. You can also shoot with Linear, Wide, Ultra Wide and Max SuperView lenses to make every shot perfect.
Indestructible HyperSmooth video stabilization
