Max HyperSmooth provides video stabilization for both travel and action recording.

The GoPro MAX is a 360-degree action camera that can also operate as a stabilized single-lens action cam, capturing 6K source/5.6K stitched 360 video or 1440p HERO-mode video.
The GoPro Max2 is an Editors' Choice, praised as a significant improvement over its predecessor with 8K resolution, better slo-mo, and user-friendly editing tools that make it a compelling alternative to traditional action cameras.
The Max 2 is recommended as the top-pick 360 camera for those looking to buy one, featuring excellent video quality, replaceable lenses, and 10-bit color, though noted weaknesses include audio performance and the lack of automated editing in the desktop app.
Described as a rugged daytime shooter with the best mounting options and simple controls, the Max 2 is highly rated for image quality in broad daylight, though it faces challenges in low light and potential condensation issues with its lenses.
Positioned as the professional's choice, the Max 2 is praised for its 8K capture, Log, and 10-bit color, despite being less beginner-friendly than its rivals due to a fiddly screen and less polished app.
