"It's been nearly six years since GoPro launched its Max 360-degree camera. The original was only slightly larger than the company's iconic action cameras and while the new Max2 is a bit taller, thicker, and 36 grams heavier than its predecessor, its 360-degree video capabilities have been improved from 5.6K / 30fps to 8K / 30fps, and it now allows single-lens, 180-degree videos to be captured at up to 4K / 60fps."
"The Max2 can't quite match the capabilities of the Osmo 360 that DJI says can capture 8K videos at up to 50fps, but GoPro insists its new 360-degree camera captures "true 8K" because, according to the company, it doesn't count overlapping or unusable pixels captured between its two lenses, resulting in 16 to 21 percent more usable resolution than competitors' offerings."
GoPro's Max2 upgrades 360-degree capture from 5.6K/30fps to 8K/30fps and enables single-lens 180-degree video at up to 4K/60fps. The camera is slightly larger and 36 grams heavier than the original and will launch September 30th priced at $499.95. GoPro claims true 8K by excluding overlapping or unusable pixels between lenses, delivering 16–21% more usable resolution versus competitors. The Max2 retains a six-microphone array with wind reduction, GPS, 16-foot waterproofing, and a 1.82-inch LCD, and adds Bluetooth microphone support. That price undercuts some rival 8K-capable 360 cameras which start at $549.99. Higher usable resolution improves extraction of high-quality flat videos for sharing online.
