Alongside the HERO8 Black, GoPro also unveiled the
‘GoPro MAX’ which is a successor to GoPro Fusion 360-degree camera launched
last year. GoPRO MAX is a 360-degree action that can be used as a single lens
max stabilized HERO camera, a dual lens 360 camera or as a vlogging camera.
Similar to the HERO8 Black, it also sports a built-in folding mounting fingers,
features Max HyperSmooth video stabilization by using 180-degree capture as the
ultimate buffer, Max TimeWarp, and Max SuperView.
When creating 360 edits, MAX users now have Reframe,
the GoPro app’s new keyframe-based editing experience and it matches the power
of desktop 360 editing solutions. It also allows capturing 70-degree
distortion-free Panorama shots and supports 5.6K 30fps 360 video, 1440p at 60fps,
1080p at 60fps HERO Mode video, 5.5MP HERO photos and 6.2MP PowerPano photos.
