Description — GoPro MAX
The GoPro MAX 360 Camera is built on a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 16.6MP resolution, enabling 360-degree stills at 5760x2880 pixels and 360 video at up to 5.6K at 30fps. Frame rate options include 24fps and 30fps, with video recorded in MP4 format using H.264 or H.265 codecs at 8-bit color depth. Both photo and video modes support Flat and Vibrant color profiles.
The camera features digital electronic image stabilization built into the body for smoother results during motion-heavy shooting. An ISO range of 100–6400 provides flexibility across different lighting environments, and burst mode can reach up to 30 frames per second for stills. The 1.7-inch touchscreen (320x240) handles navigation and framing in place of a viewfinder.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C, while storage is handled by microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards. The polycarbonate body is water resistant, measures 69x64x24mm, and weighs just 154g. Audio is captured via the built-in microphone, and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers up to 1.5 hours of runtime.
