Insta360 has solved this already, so keep your fingers crossed. The water mess up the lens and the ends are stitched imperfectly due to lens refraction. One problem I wish they solve in the GoPro Max 2 is the lens refraction when the camera is taken underwater. A frame rate of 100 or greater is required for any good slow-mo capture. The Max 2 camera might be able to record slo-mo videos at a higher frame rate natively. Especially editing on mobile will become near impossible due to the enormous file size. We might see a 5.7K or even a 6K final resolution (post-stitching), and the frame rate might be bumped up to 60fps.Īnything above 6K will be very difficult to edit in post-production. We might see a new camera sensor and lens (or lenses if they included Mods) to bump up the specs compared to the Max. I am pretty much certain that that is about to change with the GoPro Max 2. The highest frame rate is only 30 fps which is pretty disappointing, especially if you want to slow down the video in post-production (there is no SloMo by default)

The GoPro Max record videos in 6K, but when they are stitched together, the resolution is reduced to 5.6K. However, a slightly narrow form factor might help with better stitching of videos. There are not many items on the block for GoPro to move around. We might see a better screen, a slightly better lens, and mic placement, but that’s just about it. In fact, GoPro Max was the first camera to come with an LCD screen, and later, the GoPro HERO 9 got it a year later.Ĭonsidering the design history of GoPro, I believe we won’t see any significant change in the GoPro Max 2. That was consistent with the HERO line, as GoPro added color LCDs to all its action cameras. The next version was GoPro Max, released two years later.ĭesign-wise, both were quite identical, with an addition of a color screen on the Max. The first 360 camera was GoPro Fusion, released in 2017. On the other hand, the 360 line is comparatively new. Some might call this lack of innovation, but I would say it’s brave.

They made a great camera design and have been sticking to it for the last 6/7 releases. GoPro has been pretty consistent with its signature design in its HERO line. GoPro Max 2 SpecsĪlthough it is too early to say anything about the possible specifications of the GoPro Max 2, we can still look around, see the current competing products and make a good guess. If GoPro is to keep its market dominance in the action camera category, which it pioneered starting in 2002, they have to release more options, and one of them will be the all-new GoPro Max 2 next year. If you compare their latest One X3 1-1 with the GoPro Max, the Max is a little outdated (see below comparison in major areas) GoPro vs. The Chinese brand Insta360 has been coming up with impressive products in the 360 camera category. Regarding normal action cameras, GoPro is the ultimate king, BUT the 360 action camera line has some serious competition. We are most probably going to see a new GoPro Max 2 in mid 2023. There are good reasons for GoPro to refresh the 360 Action camera line soon.
#GOPRO SLOMO UPGRADE#
GoPro also confirmed in a tweet that they are happy with the current Max 360 camera and an upgrade is not gonna happen in 2022.īut the GoPro Max is now 3+ years old and along with a older camera, it has an outdated processor too. One is the normal Hero 11 and the other was a mini version.īut we didn’t see the GoPro Max 2 although speculations suggested it will arrive with the new Hero series. They released two GoPro Hero camera versions in September to celebrate it. GoPro Max 2 Price GoPro Max 2 Release dateĢ022 was GoPro’s 20th anniversary.
