GoPro MAX2 Sets New Standard for 360 Cameras with True 8K and AI Features

• GoPro MAX2 captures True 8K 360 video with 21% more resolution than competing cameras, delivering top-tier image detail and sharpness.
• Features include twist-off optical glass lenses, 29MP photos, six-mic 360 audio, and AI-assisted cloud editing.

GoPro has introduced MAX2, a redesigned 360 camera built for immersive, high-resolution capture. It records in True 8K and features a rugged build with twist-off glass lenses that can be quickly swapped in the field. Described by the company as its most advanced 360 device yet, MAX2 expands on image quality, audio, and editing flexibility.

MAX2 builds on GoPro’s Emmy-winning 360 tech with key upgrades for spatial capture. It shoots in full-range 10-bit True 8K, supports over a billion color gradations via GP Log, and captures 29MP stills that offer flexibility for reframing. A six-microphone array delivers 360 audio, with ambisonic support coming soon, while built-in GPS and cold-weather battery support expand its use in varied environments. AI-powered editing in the Quik app, including MotionFrame and object tracking, streamlines the workflow for creating immersive 360 content.

MAX2 is available now for preorder at $499.99, with retail availability starting September 30. Exclusive mounting accessories are also available, which enable invisible, drone-like shots for capturing dynamic perspectives.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Spatial video is having a moment again, and MAX2 lands right on time. As platforms like Vision Pro renew interest in immersive formats, GoPro’s commitment to true 8K capture, advanced optics, and AI tooling makes 360 content feel newly relevant again.
