Finally, this is the word that comes to mind with Gopro’s new announcement. Like every school year, GoPro Updates its products and there has been a product that has not been updated for some time. And it’s now official, here is the brand new GoPro MAX2 And if its name does not indicate it, we are in the 3rd iteration already. In recent years, it was Insta360 and more recently Dji who have occupied news in the universe of cameras 360. Also, Gopro’s return is made in a relatively competitive context, especially since direct competitors have proven at what points they were reliable.
“The new products of this year diversify the range of GoPro like never before, by offering new fascinating features to content creators, adventurers and today’s enthusiasts,” said Nicholas Woodman, founder and CEO of Gopro. “The Max2 is the best and most durable 360 cameras in the world, with its True 8K of peak video resolution, its superior colors and quality of image, its leading audio performance in industry thanks to six microphones and its replaceable glass lenses, easy to screw. »»
The first words of GoPro to qualify your news MAX2 are therefore that this is the first 360 camera to offer real 8K. So to support this assertion, Gopro declares that the useful capture surface represents exactly 8K while the competition is based on the even sensors. Suddenly, this means that the Max2 sensors offer a larger resolution. According to Gopro, this is 21% more resolution compared to direct competition. In addition to that, Gopro obliges, we find all the qualities we know of the American manufacturer. We think in particular of colorimetry for example.
But that is not all because GoPro arrives with its share of new features to stand out from the competition. Here is a non -exhaustive list:
- Color on 10 bits, real 8K + GP-LOG encoding. Advanced users can use GP-LOG to maximize the dynamic range, details and flexibility in post-production of their sequences.
- The replaceable “Twist-And-Go” objectives are made of extremely durable and water-repellent optical glass. These objectives are easy to remove and replace in the blink of an eye, without tools or calibration. While at Dji, you cannot change and at Insta360, you need tools!
- The 360 photos are 29 megapixels. We can, via the Gopro Quik application, crop, zoom in and redirect the exact image that we want.
- With Gopro Labs, you can unlock a flow rate of up to 300 Mbps and additional advanced camera settings.
- 6 microphones offer 360 sound. Improvements include wireless Bluetooth functionality, the “audio vision field” and a 360 stereo sound with an advanced wind noise reduction. In addition, the support of the Ambisonique 360 audio will be available later via a firmware update.
- Software optimized by AI for an easy 360 mounting. From the monitoring of objects by AI to the Motionframe assembly of the 360 content by simply moving your phone, the Quik application makes the assembly 360 360 fun.
- Cloud -based assembly for GOPRO subscribers that can also take advantage of unlimited storage in the cloud for their sequences, which simplifies the use of the Quik application to edit your videos in the cloud without worrying about downloading them or taking storage space on your phone.
- The new POV and selfie video modes integrated into the camera allow you to quickly and easily capture the point of view or selfies. No assembly is necessary, just capture directly in the camera, then share the content.
- The low profile design of the max2 is better suited to fixings on pole, helmet, body and vehicle. The max2 is waterproof.
- The 1960 MAH Enduro battery is better with the cold.
- Integrated GPS. Max2 is the only 360 camera with integrated GPS.
