GoPro Max: Yay or Nay?
Nah. I've got the Insta360 Go for a fun little action camera, the Xiaomi Misphere is still good enough for photos for now. Waiting for what's around the corner.
Well. I bought mine already so hopefully yay. But I ordered it on Sunday and it still hasn’t shipped from Singapore
I'm a sucker for display screens. I took my Insta One X out once and it wasn't recording unbeknownst to me until afterward. Also I hate the Venture case. If I can shoot without that on the Max, it's a good thing. For now I have both but am open to returning the Max should something better come out before the return window expires. I also am disappointed in the low resolution of all consumer 360 cams right now. One more issue as an owner of both, I feel better about GoPro's subscription for support and discounts. I wanted to stop an order from Insta 360 and they all but ignored me and gave me the runaround.
The very little footage I have heard sounds better, and looks better un-edited, it goes into water wo a case (not 360 yet), so if I can make clips and save on my iPhone easily, the way I want to ...
Nay. GoPro firmware/software is utterly bad. Cant wait for the Theta Z1 to be available in Norway. We are in need of something that produces good 360 photos for our museum!
You can save it to your phone. Just save it to the files app. Then open that, and then there’s an option to save it to your photos. Takes an extra few clicks but it’s doable.
Yeah I mentioned this.. annoying though
Yay for me - I now have both the ONE X and the Max. I am a small fish in the TH-cam 360 world and haven’t had all the 360 experience as you and many others so can only compare these two cameras. But for me from a usability point of view and for vlogging I’m in love with the Max 😍 I love the mic quality and the touchscreen - more comparisons need to be done on image quality but I like the images I have seen so far. A lot more testing has to be done and as you say you shouldn’t upgrade unless you can afford to but if you don’t have a 360 camera I would say the max is much easier to use for beginners with a less steep learning curve and will bring more people into the 360 world. Looking forward to your full review 👍🏼
Hey Rich, agreed it’s definitely a great cam! More testing to be done by both of us :)
how does your computer handle it? the work flow is easy and does not give you spinning wheel of death for hours at a time?
Shaun O'Connell I’m using an hp omen gaming computer ( yes pc ☠️😂) and I use GoPro exporter to convert the files and then GoPro reframe in premiere and I don’t really get any hanging. The longest part is rendering in and out at the end. With the one x I need to use proxy files as my computer has no chance otherwise.
The insta360 is a toy compared to this. Can you dunk your insta360 in the water? does it have a screen? Does it have a "vlog mode" where its only filming from 1 side? There's no comparison.
Sure but you can do all those things.. just not as easily
Thanks, you just saved me $1000. I will not buy one now. Your not saying GoPro fiddled with the marketing video ;) Welcome to advertising. I worked on so many TV commercials over the years and it was always all about manipulating the product to look good. Lots of manipulation with cars in commercials, spring compressors, black tinted windows and windscreens, car seats moved to make the interior seem massive. Sadly you can't trust anything you see. Thanks for being one of the few camera reviewers to be truthful and honest. Rare to see on TH-cam because it's always the amazing non negative reviews that get all the views. Sad isn't it.
Thanks, yes true, it’s definitely a big part of advertising a product. But I think TH-camrs exist to hold these companies accountable :)
If it could film under water it would be the perfect travel companion, needs a waterproof housing
Thanks Ben. I'll keep waiting. Plus the Hero mode on it is limited to 1440P
TOTALY agree with the 1/4 inch screw thing...
All of that is good as well. But what I wanna know is can you go deep scoober diving with it?
I have seen one video and the GPM sound seems better.
Are you not bothered by the fact that GoPro is almost twice cheaper than some of your mentioned alternatives? It is bulky, for sure. But at leats it has a decent price.
This type of camera should NEVER use a standard tripod thread since they're extreme sports cameras at heart. Which would you rather break?
It’s not a one size fits all camera.. I’ve never used mine for sports. It’s just a personal preference really.
No RAW or HDR capabilities is making me reconsider my purchase, unfortunately. Huge deal IMO.
Great report.. can u get the videos on your camera roll if you can’t get the photos on there 🤔?
Nay on gopro max. Just bought insta360 one x refurbished for 319 usd. Hope prices drop more after X2.📉💲💲💲
If the max had considerable higher resolution than fusion which I have i would have been interested in getting one but for now I am fine with my fusion. May be the kando cam you mentioned would interest me!
I have a GoPro Max, One of my favorite features is the horizon lock, I'm not sure if insta360 has this feature but I trust more in an American company and would waste money on supporting a Chinese company. Also we shouldn't be to far away from GoPro releasing their new products for 2020
Which 1/4 to GoPro adapter do you use? The one I have has a slight curve in it (presumably to angle a Hero camera) and I think that's why I get an artifact in the stitch. I prefer the Insta 360 One X pole because it's light, thin, strong, and long, but the Max Grip did a better job eliminating everything in the stitch.
I found a great one after making this by Joby.. it’s called the Joby Pin Join Mount 👍
Yay man! About time, haha! (Yay as in good seeing you uploaded about the max.) I got mine, but have not had time to play with it yet.
Haha yeah been super busy creating Virtual Tour Pro and am way behind with my TH-cam schedule
hi! Which camera is better for a real estate virtual tours gopro max or insta360? Thanks!!
Which do you think is best for mounting on the windshield frame of a convertible, (or maybe top window corner with a suction solution?), and what do you think will be the best in terms of audio? Because obviously when driving, I don't want to just record crazy wind noise....
6:36 I am speculating with a good amount of certainty
11 months on, still no One X2
They released the One R instead, and are due to release ‘something’ else by the end of the year 😉
As someone has already mentioned here, Insta oneX is not waterproof, big minus for me as I use occasionally for surfing/kitesurfing...
Yeah, although it has a waterproof housing
Doesnt the go pro max have better 3d audio than the insta 360 x?
Definitely holding onto my 1X. When Insta comes out with a new model they better make the lenses DIY repairable. Also I would pay a good deal more with a 1” sensor.
Where the Jones you can contact Insta 360 and it’s $50 for the lens. Pretty easy to repair
Where the Jones my man you actually saw the future because there it is, the insta360 one r with an 1 inch sensor
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video
Will I be able to import the Video from MAX to FCPX? thank you
Do you need any type of lens protection to GoPro Max for diving up to 16 ft?
I can use MAX protective lenses on my One X (with 3D printed bracket) 😁✌️
Share STLs, please!
Help! I just got the GoPro Max for Xmas, does it do 3D virtual reality like that 360 nano? I have to refund soon if not. My favorite feature is 3D 😬 then 360
Spot on man! I on thhe same page as U! Why, Go pro!? Just why!?
Question I just got a GoPro Hero 7 white and according to a couple of TH-cam videos is garbage,also the black is not all that good and the one you are talking about is not all that or even worth buying so what will be the best action camera for the money to buy?
I mostly cover 360 cams on my channel so probably couldn’t give you the best advice here. But the Max is definitely worth considering.
Thanks for the video, Ben. I am very enthusiastic about Google street view. I see this camera has good stitching. Can it be integrated with google street view? Does the One X2 have any better stitches than the GoPro Max?
Ben has lost his mind. Go with the Max. It is far superior to the One X in so many ways. I own both. Video output is equal until it comes time for extreme action and it's Max all day. You can choose to shoot single lens Hero style or shoot 360 in 6K. You can vlog with excellent built-in mics, 6 of them, and front-facing screen. Four lenses to choose from to capture from 13 mm to 27 mm perspectives including automatic horizon leveling. Live streaming in 1080p and my favorite feature being voice commands. The form factor of the Max is second to none. It is quite simply the most rugged camera on the market. The One X doesn't even come close. As a matter of fact my One X is now inoperable. It fell to the ground out of my pocket while sitting down and damaged the lens. I used to baby the One X because it felt so delicate. Both cameras have their place. If you're into action photography and need a rugged camera or you're a vloger then the Max is the way to go. If you want to save $50 and want a smaller form factor with no screen and you could care less about the delicate nature of the camera then the One X is for you. I loved my One X until the features of the Max won me over. They are both excellent cameras but the GoPro Max simply suits my style of shooting.
🤪
How do you mount your GoPro max? What selfie stick? Thanks
I use the bushman- link in description
Hello, I have a problem with GoPro Max reframe. I follow to covert the video from gallery to media. My mobile is SamsungS5 and when I try to reframe the video always stuck to endless loading phase. Any idea for a solution? ( first thought that I have is that my mobile is old for this technology what do you think?)
Thank you!
I been waiting for the one X 2👌🎥😎. But not sure what they could improve from the one X 👍. Better battery life?
Image quality, durability, I’m sure there are other things 😎
The problem with ONEX 2 is the app.
I have the GoPro Max and I really love it!
They have protective lenses that comes with it. Will these make the Pano or at least one lens take sharp photos when underwater. The snorkeling shot in the promo appears to be sharp. I doubt it would stitch well, but can at least one side be useable/sharp?
Will test 👍
Wrong, I had the x one and sent it back the same day because it had no color and so my only option was to pay Premier a monthly fee to color grade. Momma don't take my kodachrome away! G.
I don’t understand.. you’re saying it produced black and white images? How does premiere help with that?
@@BenClaremont Everyone sees color differently if at all. You don't get consumer quality color via the record button; you have to work and pay for it with products like Premier (monthly fees).
Consumer quality colour? Yes you absolutely do get that.. GoPro colour is great and requires almost no colour correction. If you’re going to be that picky then you need to pay for the software. Simple as that.
@@BenClaremont I am not picky but I have to have the one button money shot that is acceptable to the public. Now if you are paid or plan to be, you need some tools. The main job I have for the GoPro Max is as a table or room recorder. All I have to do is put the Max on a table with family/friends/groups on holidays or events, and say GoPro Record and say GoPro Stop after 3 minutes. Now all the changes in my life will be recorded over the years. Maybe one day I will press play and look around.
That is not to say that I won’t shoot 360 videos or play with the other stuff, but I will aim the camera for the audience, so that they only have to move the image if they are looking for something outside of my presentation.
Can I see GoPro max Gimbal?
This is starting to feel like those old xbox/ nintendo/ PlayStation tech Battles!
Competitor brands waiting for their products being launched then launching their products with better specs!
For us consumers it's great but these battles basically makes it harder to keep up with the tech updates... It's like purchasing new tech and after the new launch they feel like old tech.
The drone industry feels just the same!
I agree! Although at the same time, better too much innovation than too little :)
thank you mr. ben
Nov. 7, Beyond the “max”
Hero mode-Rylo 180 2yrs ago
But better quality 😎
Can you use the workflow of the Fusion max with the older Fusion?
Unfortunately not because they record video in a different way
@@BenClaremont thanks for your reaponse. Love your vids
So is there an X2 yet?
Nope
That clip of yours sold me
hi Ben. What about waterproof models? do you suggest any models?
What do you mean?
@@BenClaremont i saw this function (waterproof) only for Go pro fusion. I would like to know if there is any other model with this function.
Yes Max is waterproof
Is the new app and editing software compatible with the Fusion? My point being, I already have a Fusion and want to know if I need to purchase the Max in order to benefit from the software improvements? Thanks!
Not sure.. why don’t you try and tell me 😉
Hey, thanks for that video! I was wondering how quickly you can reframe and export a 360 clip of about roughly 2-3min? Cheers!
Thanks- I guess it depends how complicated you want to edit it. I’d say no longer than 20 mins, for a really slick edit.
I wonder what camera and lens ou used to record this video. BTW, geat review, thanks.
Sony A7R II- you’re welcome 😉
...and the lens is... thanks!
Did you say for flogging?
Yup
Daan you use this camera remotely with samsung mobile?
Put each one on a table and take a video. Oooooops.
How’s the image stabilization on the Go Pro?
Very good, see my follow up video on my channel
GO PRO 8 or MAX ? Please answer
Max
@@BenClaremont The Max definitely better than the Hero8 for vlogging?
First video I'm not agree with you, must of the things you said about the GoPro Max is true, but you can export 360 photos, I did it 3 times today, you have to learn first more about the app and the Insta360 One X is very fragile, I have 2 Insta One X Cameras and both are on the way to Hong Kong, you should talk about that too in some reviews, the repair service from GoPro are in almost all the countries and the repair service from Insta is only in Hong Kong, you have to pay the way in and back and if you are not lucky, the custom will make you to pay some Iva or some taxes, I bought my 2nd Insta One X and it lasted just 1 week, This repair problem makes Insta360 One X more expensive than GoPro Max, I couldn't have any of my 2 cameras for halloween and maybe if they dont work fast i won't have it in Christmas either, that's why I bought the GoPro Max, Insta 360 One X must start to make the cameras with rubber or open more repair services around the world, GoPro are safer in that way, this is a very important thing to say in reviews to help us save money, thanks Ben, you're amazing.
How do you save to the camera roll? If it’s possible, it’s certainly not obvious.
@@BenClaremont sorry Ben my answer is too late, I have 2 jobs and takes my time, you are right, you can't save it to the camera roll but you can export to other places in the phone and take it from there, I've sent to dropbox and I can do it to Drive if I want to, that's how I got it and I have a very good news from Insta360 one x, as I said before are to fragile and bla bla, I've sent the camera to hong kong and today they sent them back to me,
I've only waited 3 weeks, so they are very fast and I dont think people from gopro are faster, even from here ;)
You sound similar to Matt Granger!
People say that.. but I think the only thing we have in common is that we’re aussie 🤣
yap.. i bought oneX over max.. and save the extra 100$ for more better 360cam.. suddenly qoocam 360 came out.. waiting for your deep reviews with that cam..
How much did 1X paid you?
How much did GoPro pay you to say One X paid me?
I want to thumbs down this video. There is a legitimate reason to upgrade to the MAX over the insta360. GoPro is built tough and comes with high impact lens protectors. The Max is waterproof the insta360 is not so if you accidentally drop it in the water say goodbye. Insta360 isn't a good action cam because the lenses are so vulnerable. Does it come with lens protectors? No. If u break a lens you can't just replace it. GoPro has plus insurance. Break the Max no matter the reason and get a replacement free.
As for the bottom mount it's not stupid. These are action cameras and have been for more than a decade. That mount is super compatible with so many accessories. Even other big brands like Sony and Garmin use the same mount.
The Max isn't ground breaking I agree but I do think it's the best action 360 on the market especially with the ability to use a touch screen, tough as any other GoPro, and to use one lens to take panos or horizon leveling crushes the insta360. 👍🏻
I have a GoPro Max .... the Windows software is a DESASTER !!!! Dont byu it!!
5:07 just how TALL is that camera pole to get the height of that shot?!! 😱
About 5 feet
Ben Claremont thanks! Looks like a drone shot! 👍👍
Personally, the major selling point of the GoPro Max over the Insta360 One X, is that the Max is a true hybrid action cam. Having the incredible durability and functionality of a GoPro Hero, fused with solid 360 capabilities in one device, is truly a game changer for me (since no other device is providing this). Instead of having to buy a One X (which can easily be damaged) for 360 capabilities and a Go Pro Hero for action cam features, you can have them both in the Max, which saves me money, space and most importantly time. I’ve owned the Insta360 (and loved it as well), but if you’re looking for a durable Action/360 hybrid cam, I feel like the GoPro Max is your best bet (for now)
Agreed 👍
I think that is what I needed to hear! Thanks!
Totally agree 😳 I love the Max!
Without slow motion 😟😟
Ben..... I would disagree somewhat with your take on the Max. As someone who has the Insta360 One X, the four major selling points of the GoPro Max are the waterproof design, camera durability, replaceable lens protectors, as well as the spacial audio microphone setup. And while the picture and video capabilities of the two cameras might be similar, the Max has a number of features that might have me upgrading from the One X.
And I agree with you... however these are secondary features for most people as image quality, workflow etc. usually take priority.
@@BenClaremont Even over durability? I think that durability is becoming more of an issue for consumers. 400 bucks is a big investment for many of us and the majority of these cameras are extremely fragile.
I am upgrading from the fusion and imo it is a HUGE upgrade. The fusion made me turn away from 360, but the max actually makes me want to do 360 reframed vids.
Edit: just reframed more 360 video.
I love my Insta360 One X but hate the Fusion's twin card rubbish. I will sell it on ebay and get a Max.
Didnt care for the insta as far as durability and audio was lacking, I loved the fusion minus the workflow, i think the max is gonna be great for me, I also do more reframing than full 360
One of the biggest advantage that the GoPro Max has over the competitors is that it's waterproof without a housing required.
Gilbert Tumaneng It is not just about being waterproof regarding housings - the housing on the Insta 360 ONE X seems to introduce noticeable distortions, so even with a housing on, the Insta is not as good as the Max when it comes to getting wet.
dont forget the buildin GPS, i hope they make a remote for the max to, using a phone is ok, but hey, its a phone, not a remote controller hehe
I got the GoPro app update yesterday for the iPhone and iPad, makes it editing the max 360 movies easier. (Second update this week)
I'm still using my gopro hero 2. Borrowed a one x. So I'm upgrading to the max. If the hero2 has last me this long I'll be perfectly fine with the max for some time to come.
Regarding the tripod thread my own experience flying with a 360 camera with a tripod thread compared to GoPro cameras has been that the camera with the tripod thread will rotate when it experiences moderate G forces while the GoPro will not. I managed to minimise this with the 360 camera using a lock washer but this can be annoying. Yes with the 360 camera you can fix this in post but it is still annoying. Given the GoPro‘s are designed specifically as action cameras I assume this is why they thought to design a mount which will not loosen or unscrew during the action. So personally I prefer the GoPro mount but I understand it can make for compatibility issues.
100% This, its an action camera from an action camera company, I had a Insta 360 one X, sold it as its basically crap as an action camera first.
Hi dear, i have been using samsung gear 360 for last few months. Its take about 1-1.5 hours to get a 1 min video to ready for youtube upload. I m planing to upgrade and buying theta v. How much it would be a time saver? Thanks! I also upload my client’s shots to street view also. Before bying new 360 degree cam for both video and photo i need your help. May be i was not suitable video to comment abt 360 question. But did it because wanted to make sure it reach to you for sure :)
I have the GoPro Max and I really love it!
I use an old school GoPro Hero4 for vlogging. I'm wanting to pick up a new GoPro Hero8 or Max. I noticed with the Hero8 you have the capability to get the Media Mod where it's not available for the Max. But that 360 would be fun to mess with since I've never had one before. What do you guys think?! Hero8 or Max?!
Max! You can always sell it if you don’t like it.
I have owned the Max since November and they haven't released any software for reframing in Windows. But Ben last year made a video about editing software for any 360 camera and you can use this software to reframe if you don't wanna pay for Adobe. You can use it for free and edit 5.7K which is what the camera records at but the gopro software only allows editing up to 1080P. Here is the link to his video.

Hi, I already got my MAX, and yes I agree that it’s not an amazing improvement from my 360X, but my experience with the Insta has been frustrating at times, Movies too often just don‘t save and block the camera, I have to take the battery out to use it again! Display is so basic, that during the day I don‘t manage to change settings, it’s so upsetting to film instead of taking a photo and vice-versa !
Personally I make more photos than I make movies, and the Fusion was said to make better photos than the 360X, and I love the 270° Pano possibility !
Now, I definitely expect important updates: HDR, 4K for Hero mode, Slowmotion, RAW !!!
Can you make you next review making comparisons about photo qualities, and not just about videos and mobile workflow for kids and youtubers,
personally I like seeing on my desktop and make thing good more than to make them fast ;-) thanks.
If the next 360X gets a screen and more mps, then …
Your one x may be broken, i used mine extensively (I mean constantly as my only travel cam). Never had single lock up, never had video not save. I am not one x evangelist or saying it is the best cam, but your issues are not here. Used Gopro hero 7 and I can say I had my share of lockups. I am not going for MAX, the one x is good enough right now. Waiting for next gen of those, probably would be one x 2.
Is it possible that the issue is related to the SD card you're using?
pjdaprinz yes, I think so, I used a ProGrade 64Gb V60 etc… have to use one of my Sandisk ones to check !
Thank you Ben for a wonderfully informative video! I have to say that I bought the Gopro Max and am VERY happy with it. Granted, it doesn't have the high frame rates of the Insta360 One X/R or higher resolutions compared to other 360 cameras. This is pretty disappointing but I think Gopro did this to avoid cannibalizing off've their Gopro Hero 8 product line. Either way, this is a bummer. However, despite the Max's shortcomings, I really appreciate and value the Gopro Max offers--especially with the Gopro Plus insurance subscription. 360 cameras, to date, have non-replaceable lenses. Gopro Max is no different.
However, with the Gopro Plus subscription, Gopro will replace (without question) twice a year your Gopro Max at no extra cost. With other 360 cameras on the market--you so much as damage the lens--you're screwed (...or nearly as screwed). Because of Gopro Plus insurance, the Gopro Max is a buy worth looking into and, in MY opinion, worth it!
P.S I only think the Gopro Plus insurance subscription is worth it if you get it for covering the Gopro Max. It is stupid for the Hero 8 as the Hero 8 has the non-replaceable lens cover as opposed to it's predecessors (Gopro Hero 5 Black , 6 Black and 7 Black) when it was working perfectly with their replaceable lens covers. Gopro made the Hero 8's lens non-replaceable to force you to get the Gopro Plus subscription--which is a greedy as hell move, if you ask me... Just my two cent.
That night walking shot is amazing. Thanks for the honest review. Signed: A GoPro Lover.

Forget the MAX! Ben's got a new girlfriend! haha
A new girlfriend of 3 years 🤣
@@BenClaremont no wonder your inspired, she is your muse !
I still only have the crap Samsung gear 360 . I was thinking it's time to upgrade. Not only the 360 cam but it's all so a normal gopro. Btw the videos from gopro videos never live up to the videos they post lol.
@Ben Claremont, i had the fusion for just the reasson you say in this video, i sold it with in 2 months.. problem is that 360 cams are WAY too fragile theese days that i dare using them in any extremesports.. yeah greate fatures and nice vid, but 1 scratch on the lens and the cam is rubbish.. not beeing able to protect it makes it worthless in actionsports unless your a sponsored athlete.. any amature athlete risk wasting way too much mony compared to the lack of editing skills to use the 360 fottage creative.. if you look at the sport of skydiving, paragliding, hanggliding and BASEjumping, only the sponsored athlets use these cams, for just that reasson..
👍👍👍
great report well done even warning people to wait is a great instruction at this stage stay safe and enjoy yourselves see ya
Since the bottom mount is user replaceable someone should develop a metal quarter twenty screw in mount 🤔
That would be good
Florida Life That, Mr or Ms Florida Life is the best comment here. It hadn’t occurred to me that the replaceable prongs on both Max and Hero 8 could potentially be replaced by a metal plug with a ¼ tripod thread. A tripod mount would be the best upgrade to a GoPro ever! I’d buy one!
Thanks for your revision. Just one question: Is it possible to get a .mp4 file (of a 360 footage) out of the Max in windows OS? The new "Max Exporter" Software doesn´t do this job. And the insta360 studio software does not accept the .mov files. And a renaming of the .360 files (to .mp4) doesn´t work either. Do you have solution? Thanks for an answer...
I’m not on Windows unfortunately.. will try to find out though 👍
Hi ben... is the gopro max any good for virtual tour .... i just bought your courses for virtual tour does this match the insta one x or is it better ? How is the dynamic range ? Would u recommend to buy it for virtual tour?
Hey- to be honest I would get the Theta Z1 or XPhase Pro since they are more photo focused cameras.. One X and Max are video focused
Ok so for putting a camera on my boat for fishing for videoing footage of the fish coming towards the boat in the water and videoing of the fisherman reeling in the fish in at the same time would the max be a good camera??
Yes it would
Thanks that’s awesome!
I was waiting for you. I already decided to go for the Max because though I love my Insta the display panel is driving me crazy. I can’t see it in the harsh glare of the sun.
I already have the INSTA360 one X, but I will still probably get the Max. Voice control, water resistant out the box plus that screen, will make it worth while for me. Love the INsta, but in sunny days, I always need to use the phone to even see what it is doing. I know its not groundbreaking, but its now doing what the Fusion (which I also have) should have done at the start, with the single SD card and Insta like workflow.
can you turn on the back camera and view yourself as your vlog? ?? why isn't anyone addressing this?
I addressed it in my next GoPro Max video. Yes you can.
Only one reason to buy GoPro Max, is waterprof withous case, but it is not enough I wait for One X 2 :))
Great video! I’m definitely holding off before moving on from the Fusion as I’m fortunate enough to have a great PC that allows me to get around the workflow issues most run into with that camera. The Kandoa looks intriguing and excited to see the new 360 cameras hitting the market in the near future!
2:25 shots are amazing just as the girl with you bud, congrats! :D
Hey Ben, good to see you back for camera reviews and good luck with your 360 tours endeavor. My question is do you think they’ll add HDR mode in the future? Plus maybe enhance the stitching on this max? It’s so visible due to its thickness. Thanks and nice work as usual. 👍
Thanks! Yes will look for this :)
I've just recently considered getting a 360 camera and have seen a few of Ben's videos. The thing I've noticed about his videos versus other reviewers is that he goes beyond the shooting process and discusses software and editing capabilities. The other reviewers seem to be more concerned with the "cool" looks and basic functions. Just my two cents.I'm getting closer to figuring out which camera to purchase. Thanks for your vids!
Thanks! Doing my best :)
I bought it cause I shoot a lot of GoPro and wanted to keep the look the same. I love it! The hero mode is great and the app works a lot better this year.
Which model were you using previously?
I don’t think of the Max as a 360 camera. I think of it as a creative 2D device that can shoot a bit of 360 on the side. I get the impression that GoPro took a deliberate decision not to try and out-360 the Insta, but instead took a sideways step into hybrid 360/2D territory. It doesn’t expect to be regarded as the best 360 camera, but it is good enough for casual 360 use. It is not the best Hero camera, but it is good enough for a creative type looking for some footage that looks arty. It does have a feature that is huge for some people (me included) the 270 degree panorama photo mode. It is both perfectly executed and very useful. So I will get the Max, but will also shop for the next gen Insta ONE X for more serious 360 shooting.
Good point
I have a question . When we are on recording the video and we are using the front camera so can we turn on the back camera without stop the recording ?
