Lol, scratched if you look at it, funny. Yeah and another thing is I’m still going to use my 11 and to have all the footage in the same place will be so convenient. Lastly, people that for some reason or another really don’t wanna like the max two, that are very high on the 360 and Osmo are acting like the gap is huge. Not leaving the ecosystem is an easier choice.
I’d sell you mine! It’s a cool device but I’m still reaching for my GoPro 11 more. I sometimes don’t know what I should capture with the Max 2 I’m into photography so naturally I thought adding a 360 becomes necessary but, 360 for me is too niche it’s part of my bag though
GoPro hero 13. Best image quality of any action camera.
Max 2, fairly good image wuality for a 360 camera but comes with 360 video workflow which is very tasking in comparison.
If you dont need 360 camera, get a the GoPro 13.
Insta360 X5 4k@120fps vs Max 2 4k@100fps /
72mp still camera vs 29mp still camera /
Both sensors on the X5 are almost double the size of Max2 /
Deeper water resistance /
Bigger battery /
Longer battery life /
Removed lenses /
Better software...
Before I do, I'm not just listing off specs. I'm giving a true representation of both units. You just lied about saying some software features don't exist, even though they do, you just don't know how to use them. You then listed off your opinion with 1 spec that doesn't actually affect any outcome of use.
Well your software points is completely null and void. You think the GoPro software is good because it's so old and crap, that's not what most video editors want. Saying a software is better because it's featureless and old makes you sound old and out of touch with current tech.
Regarding this nonsensical 'true 8k' marketing... If you understood cameras, you understand that it's null and void. Given then your packing that small amount of extra 'true (LOL) 8K' into tiny sensors. Both insta360 sensors are almost double the size making the actual real world results way better.
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.
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.
You’re confusing flat/rectangular pixel count with spherical mapping. Pixels are redistributed and in an equirectangular you have a lot of duplicated pixels at the poles. This is why max2 uses eac projection to compress data, because it’s more efficient than adding unnecessary pixels either encoded full circles like the competition or even in equirectangular. Basically because flat 8K is technically 29M pixels, doesn’t mean max2 isn’t 8K because you’re adding circles that don’t add to 29M.

Great low-light and battery; watch out for lens flare.
