The GoPro MAX 2 True 8K 360 action camera has been engineered to capture immersive content with exceptional clarity and precision. True 8K 360 video is delivered through dual image sensors that combine to produce up to 29 million pixels, resulting in sharper detail and more realistic colors. With up to 21% more resolution than competing 360 cameras, professional-grade image quality is achieved while preserving the flexibility to reframe footage into multiple aspect ratios after recording. Every angle is captured simultaneously, allowing the perfect shot to be selected later without the need for precise aiming during filming.

Designed to perform in demanding environments, the camera is built with rugged durability and waterproof protection up to 5 meters. High-speed action, water, snow, and dirt are handled with confidence, while advanced Max HyperSmooth stabilization and 360° Horizon Lock ensure smooth and level footage even during intense movement. Creative workflows are enhanced through cloud-based reframing, object tracking, CameraFX, and motion-based editing tools, making cinematic results accessible with minimal effort.

Key Features Explained

True 8K 360 Video Performance
True 8K resolution is achieved with up to 300Mbps bitrate and optional GP-Log encoding, enabling detailed footage with over one billion colors when 10-bit color is selected. Professional color grading workflows are supported with LUT compatibility.

Never-Miss 360 Capture
Everything around the camera is recorded simultaneously, ensuring no moments are lost. Best angles are selected later in the Quik app without the need to reposition the camera during shooting.

Invisible Pole & Third-Person Effects
The extension pole is automatically removed from 360 footage, creating floating, drone-like perspectives and clean third-person shots without additional equipment.

Replaceable Optical Glass Lenses
Twist-and-go replaceable lenses made from durable optical glass are used, allowing damaged lenses to be swapped without replacing the entire camera.

Ultra-wide 180° POV shots in 4K60 are supported through Max HyperView, along with multiple digital lenses for different shooting styles and aspect ratios.

Professional Stabilization & Horizon Lock
Max HyperSmooth stabilization and full 360° Horizon Lock are applied to maintain steady, level footage during spins, flips, and fast movement.

High-Resolution Photos & Reframing
29MP 360° photos are captured, allowing cropping, zooming, and reframing into traditional or creative formats without loss of detail.

Immersive Audio System
A six-microphone array is used to capture spatial stereo audio with wind reduction, while directional control is available in single-lens mode. Bluetooth audio support allows wireless microphones and voice control.

Creative Night & Time-Lapse Effects
360° Star Trails, Light Painting, Vehicle Light Trails, and 8K time-lapse modes are included for cinematic day and night captures.
