This is arguably an exciting weekend for fans of 360-degree cameras. After two leakers revealed numerous specs, press images and the launch date for the DJI Osmo 360, GoPro’s powerful competitor has literally just dropped out of the sky as well. To be more exact, the first official teaser images of the GoPro Max 2 have appeared on the American company’s official profile on X.
There isn’t much to add to the two pictures embedded below, which were posted with a caption reading “Dropping”. Nonetheless, the “Max 2” lettering on the side of the new GoPro camera is clearly visible in the first image, and it’s reasonable to assume that both photos were taken with the new 360-degree camera. These initial Max 2 teasers are somewhat surprising, considering that a refreshed version of the original 2019 GoPro Max was recently launched under the name GoPro Max 2025 (from $299 on Amazon), although that gadget didn’t receive any notable hardware upgrades.
In contrast, the GoPro Max 2 will probably offer many new features and specs. This can already be seen in these images, which show larger cooling fins on the front of the 360-degree camera. We further expect 8K support, larger sensors and a faster processor. Moreover, there will likely be significant improvements to the battery and software as well. After all, GoPro has had almost six years to improve its second GoPro Max. For consumers, this plethora of new 360-degree cameras will likely result in better quality and more features, and it could also fuel a price war in this particular segment.
As a young tech enthusiast with a history involving assembling and overclocking projects, I ended up working as a projectionist with good old 35-mm films before I entered the computer world at a professional level. I assisted customers at an Austrian IT service provider called Iphos IT Solutions for seven years, working as a Windows client and server administrator as well as a project manager. As a freelancer who travels a lot, I have been able to write for Notebookcheck from all corners of the world since 2016. My articles cover brand-new mobile technologies in smartphones, laptops, and gadgets of all kinds.
My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
