# GoPro MAX2

360 camera · Dual-lens 360 CMOS · profile confidence: **high** · source: gopro.com MAX2 tech specs

## Video modes

| Resolution | Frame rates | Aspect | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8K 360 | 24, 25, 30 | 16:9 | Full-sphere capture — reframe in the Quik app |
| 5.6K 360 | 25, 30 | 16:9 | Lower-res 360 for longer runtime |

## Stabilization

- **360 stabilization + Horizon Lock** (strength 3/3) — Software horizon lock from the full sphere — effectively unshakeable.

## Color profiles

- **Standard (10-bit)** — 10-bit
- **GP-Log** — 10-bit, log (for grading)

## Field of view

Lens-dependent (interchangeable-lens body).

## Exposure

- ISO range: 100–6400 (recommended ceilings — bright: 400, normal: 800, low light: 1600)
- Manual shutter: yes
- Aperture: n/a
- Built-in ND: no

## Notable

- **Shoot first, frame later** — 360 capture records everything — pick your shots afterwards in the app.
- **Invisible selfie stick** — The stick disappears from footage for instant fake-drone shots.
- **User-replaceable lenses** — Scratched a 360 lens? Swap it yourself instead of replacing the camera.

Strengths: 8K 360 reframing; Invisible stick; Replaceable lenses; Horizon lock from the sphere.
Weaknesses: Reframing workflow takes time; Huge files; Softer per-frame than flat cameras.

> Verification note: Newer 360 model — re-verify the full resolution/FPS matrix and app export limits against current GoPro documentation.
