The GoPro Max 2 is a 360‑camera that builds on the Hero 13 Black’s features, offering excellent video quality, easy‑replaceable lenses and 10‑bit color rendering. Its main strength is superior daylight video performance, while its weakness lies in mediocre low‑light capture and subpar built‑in audio that often requires an external mic.

Acclaimed 70/100
