Creative power The MAX 2 isn’t just about point-and-shoot convenience – it’s also a creative playground. Slow down the action with super smooth 4K100 slo-mo, capture amazing 29MP 360 photos, or use TimeWarp mode to speed through epic hikes in silky-smooth timelapse. After dark, unlock night modes like star trails, light painting, and vehicle light trails for jaw-dropping visuals that you just can’t get using a phone camera.

The new GoPro MAX 2 360 action camera blends simplicity with pro-level features, including stunning True 8K 360 video capture. It’s an ideal pick for casual creators and adrenaline seekers alike. Words Scott Hocking GoPro brings 360 action 2 the MAX!

Flexible shooting Whether you’re making TikTok reels, YouTube clips, or just recording your family adventures, the GoPro MAX 2 adapts to your style and needs.

You simply move your phone to find the best angle, set a keyframe, and the app creates smooth transitions for you.
