The problem with GoPro's Max 2 isn't the camera...
Added 2025-09-23 16:07:26 +0000 UTCThis is the new $500 GoPro Max 2, the long-awaited successor to the 2019 Max. It's a 360-degree action camera capable of shooting spherical 10-bit 8K 30FPS video and 29MP 360-degree photos. Unfortunately, while the hardware feels robust and ready, the software feels stuck in the past.
What do you think??

2025-09-23 18:28:50 +0000 UTCAwesome review - it's always refreshing to see your coverage amidst the dozen+ "wow new thing!" semi-marketing pieces when an embargo drops. I was really excited when GoPro revealed the device itself but you're take on the software has tempered that a bit. You mentioned the Quik app functionality and I'm curious - how does it hold up as an option for casual users? My personal use case is grabbing short clips of motorcycling, skiing, and other short moments for social media and the less time spent wrangling footage, the better.
