Features
Significant Evolution in Shooting Performance with 360° 8K Footage and GP-Log Support
It comes fully equipped with about six years’ worth of updates from the previous model, Max (2019). In addition to being capable of shooting 360° video in 8K quality, it now supports GP-Log encoding, 2x slow motion, and other functions, greatly expanding the shooting variations.
For omnidirectional cameras, where the important point is to “just shoot everything in the highest possible quality,” these major upgrades in shooting performance can be considered a significant evolution.
Major Advancements in "Post-Shooting Editing" Features Like MotionFrame
The 360° footage that was “just shot in high quality to capture everything” undergoes a dramatic change in appeal depending on the editing done afterward.
With Max 2, you can use a variety of app-based features optimized for 360° footage, such as “subject tracking,” “MotionFrame” which allows you to find the best angle by following the video with your smartphone, “keyframe” which automatically adds transitions by choosing the angle of view you want to show, and “CameraFx” which dynamically enhances 360° transitions.
Excellent as a Non-360° Action Camera Too
Max 2 can also be used as a regular action camera by shooting with only one lens. With 4K/60fps, the angle of view reaches an incredible 180°, enabling ultra-wide-angle shooting.
Because it can function as an omnidirectional camera, a standard action camera, and a photo camera all in one, it has evolved into an extremely versatile action camera with a very wide coverage.
GoPro MAX Battery: Compatibility & Battery Life
The MAX 2 is equipped with a custom-designed, next-generation Enduro battery to handle the heavy power demands of 360-degree shooting. While runtimes and cold-weather performance are drastically improved over the original MAX, standard HERO series batteries will not fit, so securing dedicated spares is a must.
