Hot on the heels of GoPro’s fantastic Hero 8 Black comes the dual-lens, 360-degree Max. But this isn’t just about taking spherical video – it also uses its lenses to be the most versatile regular action cam possible, with even more advanced motion stabilisation than the Hero 8 Black.
The Max shares a number of design cues with the Hero 8 Black, including the ability to be mounted using two metal fingers that fold out from its base and neatly tuck away when not in use, rather than needing a case. The Max is bigger than most conventional action cameras, and its weight of 154g feels a tad hefty, thought it’s lighter than the GoPro Fusion it replaces.
Just as the design shares aspects with the Hero 8, the Max’s camera uses the same interface. Aside from the additional 360-degree elements, both offer the same easy-to-use system of taps and swipes via the touchscreen, although the smaller display on the Max makes navigation slightly fiddlier. Both cameras also helpfully respond to voice commands, which is useful when you don’t have a free hand or you’re wearing gloves.
