What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

GoPro Max 2

Across 3 testing outlets, the GoPro Max 2 lands as a strong, anticipated 360 camera that lives up to fan expectations, priced around $499-$500 to compete with Insta360's X5 and DJI's Osmo 360. Reviewers praise its full 8K usable footage, swappable lenses, robust feature set carried over from the Hero 13 Black, and near-unbreakable stabilization. Weaknesses noted include the lack of onboard storage, low-light limitations, desktop editing software shortcomings, and 8K being capped at 30fps. (3 sourced reviews, 3 lab-tested.)

Praised: Strong 8K/high-resolution 360 video quality and feature-rich capture modes; Good build/design, including swappable/twist-off lenses and GoPro's familiar reassuring form factor; Excellent, near-unbreakable stabilization.

Flagged: No onboard storage (unlike competitor DJI Osmo 360); 8K video capped at 30fps; Low-light performance limitations and weak desktop editing software.
