In this GoPro Max review, I will try my best to give you all the important details you need to know about this 360 action camera that may influence your purchasing decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for an action camera that can record footage in a spherical 360\u00b0 view, then there are many options in the market available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GoPro MAX<\/a> is one of the cameras that can perform in that category. It was announced in October 2019 alongside GoPro Hero8 Black. Read my GoPro Max vs. GoPro Hero8 Black comparison post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoPro Max uses GoPro’s GP1 processor which is the one also used by the Hero8 Black and as such, we expect both cameras to show an almost similar processing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With GoPro, you can be assured of great quality when it comes to the photography performance of your Action camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GoPro Max is the successor of the GoPro Fusion which was the company’s first 360 camera. Read my GoPro Fusion vs. GoPro Max comparison post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GoPro Max features some of the cutting edge specs in the Action camera industry today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has good stabilization in the name of Max HyperSmooth and it can shoot 360 videos with a maximum stitched resolution of 5.6K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoPro Max can also shoot regular videos in the Hero mode. Also, you can reframe your 360 footage to create a regular Full HD video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoPro improved on their smartphone App and now you can do more exciting things right from within the App like editing across the 360-degree video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insta360 One X<\/a> is arguably GoPro Max’s inspiration, however, in January 2020 Insta360 released a modular design Action Camera named One R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The One R<\/a> features an interchangeable lens setup with a 360-degree dual-lens option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this review, I will be also providing my answers to questions I received from different people concerning this camera, let’s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
