MAX2 8K 360 Action Camera (CHDHZ-311)

Longtime Max user and new Max 2 owner. I love having the 360 for when I don't want/need to choose the POV ahead of time. So I use mine most for Snowboarding, Kayaking, etc. Where I can just press record and not think about where the camera is pointing. No missed shots of what happened behind/in front of the lens. Capture everything, and choose later which angles work best. I've not personally had any issues other than scratched lenses on the Max. Should be a great improvement on the Max 2. Get a sturdy pole. I got the new 40" GoPro Pole when I got mine and it was great. u/RudiSweg get it **TODAY**! Costco has a deal that is scheduled to end today. Worse case, you can cancel or return if you decide you don't want it.

You do not need the media mod for the Hero 12, 13 and Max 2. They can all be connected to Bluetooth headphones. I was just outside recording the snow on my Max 2 using my AirPods. It automatically connected once both were on (and previously paired). Here is the compatibility list: **At this time, the camera supports the following devices (this list will be updated when more devices are confirmed to be compatible):** * Apple Air Pods/Air Pods Pro * Beats by Dre Studio Buds * Bose QuietComfort * Cardo PackTalk Black * Jabra Elite * Pixel Buds/Pro * Samsung Galaxy Buds * Sony LinkBuds [https://community.gopro.com/s/article/HERO13-Black-Bluetooth-Headset-Support?language=en\_US](https://community.gopro.com/s/article/HERO13-Black-Bluetooth-Headset-Support?language=en_US)

Max2, you are already in the goPro ecosystem, has replaceable Enduro batteries, and you can attach it to your head and reframe later or just hold onto a stick and it reframe later and it makes life much easier. I had an original GoPro Max when my kid was young, and it worked great. The Insta is also a great option, but is much taller and in my opinion harder to find good mount positions. Edit: best advice is get them used to all the equipment and strapping into the board at home inside before they have to do it outside in the cold at the mountain. This way when you are at the mountain, the only new thing is the mountain not the gear.

The real answer you are looking for is the GoPro Hero 2024 (maybe it’s called the LIT Hero now) it’s super simple, cheap (compared to normal GoPro) shoots video, exports to phone/pc and is much lighter/smaller than the others. Edit: MAX2 is the best camera. Not best bang for buck.

Yes! They are even asking for a subscription to just make a basic video of several videos of the max! This is madness or a scam to get more subscribers

Gopro max or max2 or insta360. The 360 cameras are awesome as hell for snowboarding.

Have a Hero11 Black. It works great. I've used a GoPro Max for action sports outside the water. I really love that camera, but I've heard it's not so good for underwater shooting.
