8.8 / 10
SCORE GoPro Max 2 360 Camera $500 at Amazon Pros Great out-of-camera photos and videos (for an action camera)
Easy-to-use app
Replaceable lenses Cons Lacks some of the features of the Insta360 X5
Poor low-light performance
An update for sure, but not a huge one
The GoPro Max 2 is a waterproof 360 action camera capable of 8K video. It's easy to use and capable of capturing vibrant images and videos with no adjustment to settings or extensive processing. The updated Quik app lets you easily edit the photos and videos however you want, so you can post reframed content on any social media platform.
The Max 2's greatest aspect is that it's faster and easier to use than its main competitor, the Insta360 X5. However, the X5 is in many ways a more capable camera, not least because of its better low-light performance. To quickly get good-looking images and videos, especially for beginners, the Max 2's greater simplicity is actually a strength, and that's why it's an Editors' Choice winner.
