  • The GoPro Max is a $499 durable 360 camera with dual 180-degree lenses that shoots both photos and videos. With the Max, GoPro borrowed from Insta360’s playbook and made the most accessible 360 camera I have used.

    My favorite thing from CES earlier this year was Instax was offering to give you a 360 camera if you give them an old GoPro or action cam. That was the biggest shade and best deal. I’ll bring my Hero 4 just incase they do it again at CES 2020.

    Nice review, Becca! Thanks for the in-depth. I have a few questions:
    -How are the thermals? Does it get warm? With the waterproofing, I was curious how it handles in direct sunlight and long record times. Though, I doubt I'd use it longer than 10mins at a time except for the hyperlapse mode. But you never know how this might be applicable to a production setting.
    -How quickly do the batteries recharge?
    - Do you expect the horizon roll correction issue to be fixed in a future firmware update?
    EDIT:
    -Did you try both Android and Apple usage of the app? Any thoughts there?
    -What are the export render times like on the app (iPhone or Pixel)?

    Greetings from Texas! I Truly enjoyed this review!
    I was torn between the insta360 vs the gopro. While the app development I believe to be leaning towards the insta360 the pricing is insane!
    And most aftermarket vendors providing lots of favoritism towards GoPro (them being the heavy hitter for longer years) paired with the pricing incentive of GoPro I have been won over by GP.
    This review helped seal that deal. Thank you again and cheers!

    Thank you for the video. I just ordered a GoPro Max over an Insta360 One X2. It was a difficult choice, as it seems the later produced Insta360 seems superior to the GoPro, especially when comparing the editing features and capabilities. That said I chose the GoPro based on logevity in the market place and the fact that I already own and pay for GoPro support.
    My question to you, is basically did I make the wrong choice? Will GoPro add some of the excellent creativity features such as those found in Insta360's Shot Lab to GoPro Quik? Or, is there a way to create "trick shots" (for lack of a better term, with the GoPro and Quik, or Final Cut Pro? Lastly, has anyone tried to utilize GoPro's video footage in Insta360's Editor? Not sure if they are compatible, but if not they should be.
    Sorry for such a long question, but I do hope you can provide some insight

    I have the GoPro 6 and I’m debating between the 8 and the Max. I absolutely love the hyper smooth on the 8, and I’m also blown away by the cool cinematic mind warp capabilities of the max. It’s just a question of one consistently using the max for its abilities beyond the initial cool factor. I was thinking of how cool it would be on a bike ride or walking around town or playing with my nieces.

    @frizsld6793 4 года назад +1

    4k 60fps in the max will probably be available once the the 8 dies down or the next max generation. it's definitely capable since the 8 and max have the same processor chip, there just wouldn't be a point of an action camera at that point lol so now I'm guessing it won't be any time soon, but at least they gave us what was it 1080p or 1440p 50fps max?
