(Image credit: Basil Kronfli/Digital Camera World) (opens in new tab) While the GoPro Max won’t be able to handle pitch-black scenes, you can see how it handles walking through city streets with plenty of light pollution below - perfectly usable footage for social sharing, though not something we’d drop into a feature-film at least not straight out of the camera. When the lights drop, that’s when judder creeps in with every footstep - so you’ll definitely want to tread lightly when capturing night-time content. The footage from the forest was the worst fringing we experienced in around a month with the camera though, with most cityscapes and country scenes handled beautifully. In turn, while you can be relaxed with your framing, you’ll want to be mindful of that fact.Īdditionally, when faced with intricate backlit detail around the edges of each camera’s field of view, chromatic aberration can creep in, with purple fringing being very noticeable in the branches in the footage above. When light is abundant, it looks like the camera is floating on a gimbal or drone.Īs with all 360-degree cameras, detail is stronger in the centre of each lens, and weakest towards the stitch-line. The great thing about 360-degree capture is that stabilization looks sensationally steady, and the GoPro Max’s footage is a testament to that fact. In turn, it isn’t trying to be the best action camera (opens in new tab), but rather, the only camera you’d want to take with you on an adventure. Like the DJI Osmo Action (opens in new tab), it’s also a solid selfie vlogging cam, with the rear camera and screen capable of working in tandem, and there are six microphones on it as well for a fuller, directional audio capture. The Max is definitely no one-trick pony though, doubling up as a traditional action cam just like the GoPro Hero 8 Black (opens in new tab).
