- Wether you got the GoPro Hero 9 or the GoPro Hero 10, today we’re going to be looking at the Max Lens Mod versus the normal GoPro Lens. Now I’m my previous videos, I’ve talked about the Max Lens Mod. I showed you how I scratched lens, and even showed you guys how to fix a scratched max lens mod. Check out that video in the link or on my RUclips channel. It’s been kind of a love-hate relationship with this max Lens mod, and today we’re going to get out on the trail to figure out once and for all… can you tell a difference! Max Lens Mod vs Normal. Let's Go!

Bro, you totally saved me. I was about to buy the max lense mod, however by seeing your compression, it's clear that normal lense gives you more raw feeling of what is actually happening and that's what I need.
Glad to have helped. Thank you for letting me know. I usually just use the stock lens as well.
That's what I was thinking too
@@JaredHoff how much wider do you think the max lens makes the video? and is it noticeable? awesome vid btw.
Your comparison of the max lens mod is the best video I've found so far. I like how you didn't specify which lens was being used.
Thank you 🙏🏻 that means a lot to me! I’m always trying to make videos that will help people out. Thanks for taking. Time to leave a comment 🤙🏻
Prefer the normal lens. I have both, the stabilisation of the max lens mod is great, however it gives the impression of slower riding and doesn’t represent the technical/gnarly areas of a trail. The max lens mod also gathers dust very easily while you’re in the middle of a trail. You’ll have a great run, get back and realise the dust has gathered and is creating light artifices in the footage.
Regular lens all the way - especially the new ones that were released with the GoPro 10, they fit the GoPro 9 as well and are cheap
On a plus side, if you’re into creating other types of footage, the max lens mod is unreal for time laps and time warp situations.
Totally agree on, and I’m now using the normal lens. Never thought about the max lens collecting more dust, but I do remember having to clean it off a lot. I’ve also never used it for time laps. Maybe I’ll just use it for that. Thanks man 🤙🏻
I agree, it nerfs the adrenaline spiking aspect of the video.
Thank you for your opinion. I was on the fence about it but after reading your review I think it makes perfect sense.
Fyi, the max lens has only one time-lapse option. No time warp.
would you say that the max lens gives a wiser view? if so buy how much?
great video, quick and to the point solid side by side comparison. well done, informative and not too long.
Thank you much! I appreciate the feedback
Awesome video. Really appreciate the side by side comparison. Also had to rewind and google the trail, definitely on the list. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for the support! I just found an HSU Max Lens Mod that’s a lot cheaper. That video will be done by next Sunday. Always trying to make vids that get people stoked to go ride 🤙🏻
I think I like the slightly added chaos of the frame tilting into each turn instead of the safe, buttery smooth locked horizon. More exciting and it makes the viewer feel like they are there more. I feel the same way about drone photography. The gimbal is nice usually but when I want a more immersive feel, like you were actually in the air, I want people to feel like they are banking with each turn.....sometimes. A less robotic feel.
Totally agree with you! Great comment. I just got the Hero 11 mini and I’m not getting a max lens mod for it 👍🏻
Thanks for making this comparison, real helpful and to the point! Also great trail & riding
Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏻 🤙🏻🤘🏻
They both look good, but I would choose normal lens. It gives better feel and it's stable enough to not distract a viewer. Thanks for the excellent side by side comparison!
Same here 👍
Nice comparison video. I run the MLM on chest mounted shots 100% of the time. It eliminates the body roll which I find very annoying with the horizon lock feature and clearly the stabilization is much better with the MLM. For chin mounted shots, the normal lens is the way to go in my opinion. Your neck acts as a natural stabilizer and you can run the GoPro in standard Hypersmooth rather than Boost to avoid the extra cropping to get more of the bars in the shot. Unfortunately the MLM is not usable on the Hero10 yet until the next firmware update sometime in November. The Hero10 chin mounted is the best option at the moment but the chest mounted MLM Hero9 is not far behind. Most people won't be able to tell the difference. Awesome job, you definitely earned my sub. 🤘
Good stuff man. You definitely have some experience with these lenses. I didn’t know the MLM doesn’t work on the 10. Crazy! Thanks for the comment and sub.
I just got a new chin mount. I’m always trying new stuff. Good idea to turn off boost. I’ll definitely be using that. Thanks man!
@@JaredHoff I bought the Hero10 the day it came out and installed the MLM on it only to get a weird error message saying it wasn't compatible until a future firmware update. I was a bit pissed to say the least but its not the end of the world. Just confused why GoPro would release a camera that wasn't ready for market yet.
@@thevinniebagadonuts9370 seriously! I’m sure they’ll push those firmware updates soon. Sucks man
Yo! Great video of the two differences. Sooo my question for you is, do you have a video of that camera view at the 29 second mark? I’m obsessed with camera angle and I’d love to see a full video of that view. I gandered through your library but haven’t seen it yet.
Thank you!
Chris
Go to the video below at about 4min mark. Super sketchy! Had the GoPro strapped to my head with a pole and almost crashed bad at the end of that video 😂

@@JaredHoff hell yeah, thank you!!
Very cool Jared, as always a great comparison and beautifully explained. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work mate. Have fun and ride on
If the Max Lense Mod wasn't so bloody expensive, I might consider buying it...
I totally agree with you. I crashed and scratched mine. Haven’t purchased a new one because they’re so expensive.
A really welcome comparison! I'd love to see your thoughts about using both lenses for vlogging.
🤔 I’ll have to take a look at that. Thanks for taking time to comment 👍🏻
I'm thinking of getting it for it's wide field of view but also horizon leveling. But I also hear that it looks weird when pointed at a person because of the fish eye effect so maybe I should just stick to the normal lens.
@@sawdustandsurvival I usually use the normal lens. Probably don’t need the max lens mod
@@JaredHoff I bought the lens mod when it first came out, it’s really nice but being stuck at 2.7K, 60fps is a draw back. Most of the time I use the original lens.
Dude, as soon as you said "TO THE POINT" you got my thumbs up and subscription. My time is extremely valuable and too many RUclipsrs have dull, boring presentations that drag on way too long. BTW, I would have said "Cool to have" because NEAT and NEED sound almost the same.
Thank you for the feedback. I’m always trying to get better, and I hate wasting peoples time 👍🏻
Interesting. Thanks for the cool video, one thing I picked up was how you mounted the cams. I never thought to mount them UP vs down. That might be why I see more handlebars than trail. Thanks Jared 🙂
Glad to have helped 👍 that’s what it’s all about
Dude that angle trick its dope. I'm going to try it. Thanks jarred 🤟🤟But honestly after using the max for a while I like the action of the regular lens
I’m back to using the regular as well. Max Lens is a hassle, only cool if you find a good way to use the horizon lock
@@JaredHoff agreed. The horizon lock is such a dope feature
If only there was a mod to make me better at biking. 😅. Great comparison tho. Helped me decide to pass on the lens and see what the new max will do
@@TJ_Wayne I wish they had a max skills mod for my riding as well man 👍😂
@JaredHoff 🤣 maybe next year. Come on gopro! Gotta give the people what they want!!! 🤣
Regular lens is great but max lens mod is the icing on the cake
I recently tried out a knockoff brand max lens mod 😬 it didn’t work the same as the GoPro lens.
That was a good video, I do agree the max was more stable but I think the normal lens looked better for what you were filming. I do think the max super wide is good for large picture meeting presentations to encompass everything going on that might escape the sides.
For sure. Thank you for taking time to comment. I pretty much just use the normal lens now, but I know some people like the max as well.
Great comparison vid! I’m with you…. It’s cool to have, but not essential! Cheers dude👌🏼
For sure! I kind of regret buying it, but it was cool to do the comparison
awesome video, I do motorcycle videos and bought one thinking it made a wider view.. oh well, its nice to have.
Did you see that high speed riding at the end. This is a super fun jump and flow trail!
I've loved the horizon lock on the max but the lens contamination has been a constant problem from fogging up from breathing to the inevitable scratches on 3 different lenses. Along with the annoying fact that you can't use the realtime speed ramp on the timewarp to switch between normal speed and timelapse with a press of the power button I'm afraid it's time to go back to the normal lens.
I hear ya! I’m back to the normal lens.
Nice one , super helpful 👍🏻
Glad to have helped
That was a great comparison. Just got a lens mod for my 11 👍🏻
Awesome man I’ve quit using the max lens mod for mountain biking, because it just doesn’t work as good as a regular lens for POV but it’s still a great lengths to have her certain instances
Great video! Just what I was looking for in terms of comparing the stock lens and the max lens mod. Side by side is soooooper helpful. Not sure if I really need it, but definitely more smooth with the max lens mod. Hmm.
Glad to have helped 👍🏻
Great video, thanks. I like the regular lens... feels more raw.
Definitely 👍
thanks, this is helpful. I was wondering what your video/ISO settings are from the example videos? I love the color and balance you achieved there. thanks.
Oh man! I don’t remember the exact settings. I think that was 4k 30FPS, max stabilization with default GoPro color
lens mod is more smooth like you have a gimbal, i use gimbal for few years before and im i bit picky on this so ill go wid lens mod
👍
I prefer horizon lock off, especially for bike/ motorbike leaning clips, it looks more dramatic
I usually just use the regular lens, but always trying new things.
best max lens mod comparison @ RUclips
thanks a lot
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
thanks! I like the horizon lock
Thanks for taking time to comment
Hello,
I would like to inquire if I still require this item, considering that I am already utilizing a GoPro 11.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@@mikecarlogarcia you can still use it to access horizon lock and other features, but I don’t use it anymore. Gets scratched too easy mountain biking.
Max lens mod is very clear
The only reason I stopped using it is because it catches dust on trails and is expensive to replace if I crash on my bike. But it doesn’t look amazing
@@JaredHoff yes very expensive I can see the price list online. But someone offer me $20 for the original Max lens it's worth it?
Hi. great footage.
I go for regular lenses. It gives me the footage i really need.
Thank you for the effort.
You really help me to decide.
Hugs. Carlos m.
Yes, I’m back to using the regular lens. Thanks for the feedback 👍
It's nice to have and play with and I picked one up for 40 bucks on amazon. I do think you lose the feel of the ride with it
@@mmcdermott64 yes I do. I know BKXC uses one but I think he uses it for stability and doesn’t use the widest angle
@@JaredHoff Brian has it on the 12 and I think the increase in FOV is 155(gp10) to 177(gp12)which is awesome for the big sweeping views in the areas he rides in, ie the Yukon 👍🏼
I was just looking at Remy’s last video and the horizon lock looks awesome when it’s super steep and you’re that fast
@@mmcdermott64 for sure 👍
You just sold me on buying One. Ty !
Glad to have helped out! I do t use the max lens Mod anymore, but it definitely has some cool features.
Still very tempted to get the Max lens!
Well BKXC uses it and his footage looks amazing so 🤷🏼♂️
Really appreciate you taking the time and doing this. Very helpful video. One thing I noticed is there is a slight difference in color vibrancy when the mod is attached. Greens and blues look different...Do you notice this as well? Maybe just my eyes.
I think it’s because the “fish eye” Max lens let’s more light in.
@@JaredHoff yes, agreed this could be the case was also thinking the same thing.
@@SinghCapital I have noticed the color difference.
@@JaredHoff yes its very slight. to be honest i think the standard lens is slightly sharper.
no additional FOV, that's disappointing. thank you for the video!
Thank you for taking time to comment 👍🏻
Great Video, just wondering if you notice the zoomed out/ fish eye feature with the max lens?
I don’t really use the max lens mod anymore. Especially since I started using the Hero 11 mini
Great comparison
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍🏻
I don't quite see the point of the lens as the horizon lock is all software.
And FYI your intro says "TRAIL ADVERNTURES"
Thank you for catching that typo 🤦🏼♂️ I agree with you on not needing the Max Lens Mod
Very cool. Just ordered my Chesty with your promo code!
I’m still loving that chesty. I have the GoPro 9 shooting in superview and it captures the best angle. Check out my last video in Ashland, Oregon and you can see the angle works great for follow me video as well.

The left max lens is more stable and colors look brighter.
Thanks for the input 👍🏻 always good to get feedback
The gopro 9 has a horizon lock function that records at 1080p at 60fps ...
Question ... And the gopro 10 also reaches up to 60fps or already went up to 120fps in that function?
The hero 9 has horizon lock in 2.7k and 4K as well. I think there’s a limit to the angle 📐 I don’t have the hero 10. I’m thinking about waiting for the next version of the GoPro before I buy another one
Would the Max lens be good for shooting sporting events,like basketball or soccer? I just got a GP9
I’m sure it would be great for that.
I’ve noticed that with the max lens mod, my camera slowly rotates while mid turn, therefore missing a good portion of the trail.. It seems like there is a delay and doesn’t follow my body quick enough.
Is this normal? Thanks!
I stopped using the Max Lens mod. I find it’s too much of hassle to keep clean and I’ve had issues like you explain as well. Plus it scratches easy and is hard to fix the scratches 😬 hope this helps.
nice 🤩 im lucky to have max lens
Max lens mod definitely gets some cool footage 🤙🏻
I thought hero 10 has auto stabiliser already? Or am i wrong
I don’t have a 10, but they both have an auto stabilization feature, which crops the video size a bit to stabilize the footage.
Since the Max Lens Mod creates an even wider picture,,, there’s enhanced digital stabilization. Hope that explains it 😂 I’m definitely not the GoPro guru
Stock lens makes it more intense, not really a must have for the max lens mod
Totally agree 👍🏻
im starting to use linear horizon on my GoPro10 for my dog walks and see how that is compared to me using superview or the one below. I don't have my gopro on me I think it's just called wide. I am in the process of editing loads of footage and uploading to RUclips and uploading is taking ages but then again the files are proper apple pro res 4k and not ya fake 1080p shit on RUclips that's actually SD1080p there's no HD at all. unless its uploaded proper 1080p. these days RUclips do RUclips premium for p[roper 1080p on some stuff ive seen. I have an old Panasonic hd90 I think it's called and I can buy optional 3D lens for it but I just use it for 1080p and its proper good 1080p and people have said with my footage on old account. im also wanting a thermal camera now like GoPro and I seen some guy use one in a video but I can't remember the name of it. I will find it useful when camping at night with my dogs and to see if anythings about. thanks for this video mate it was good.
Awesome man! Good luck with RUclips. I know first hand how much work goes into making videos 👍
If I take my max lens off will this annoying fisheye view go away?
You have to turn off the max lens mode by swiping down on the back screen to access the additional features
@@JaredHoff Do I leave it off if the max lens is on the camera?
normal lens makes it look more intense, probably more realistic... max lens = more plastic world
Agree! Although, I just watched a BKXC video about his GoPro setup. He uses the max lens mod and his footage looks amazing 🤔
but 30 fream its com faster
Always got to try different settings to see what works best for what you’re doing.
Normal Lens looks more real.
For sure
Wrong situation for horizon lock.
Yeah, I don’t really use the max lens much anymore 🤷🏼♂️
I dont see any difference,,
I’ve gone back to using regular lens to capture my rides
