No 4K recording, Sturdy build quality, Excellent image stabilization
Speakers were so-so, Footage requires lots of editing to get the best out of it, Only waterproof to five meters,

360-degree capture, Also works as a single-lens camera, Intuitive software tools, Strong stabilization, Good in-camera audio, Waterproof without a case, Integrated mounting clips,
Effective resolution is really 1080p, Single-lens capture tops out at 60fps, Requires more editing time to get the best results from spherical footage
The 360-degree GoPro Max camera promises an easier, more streamlined workflow than last year's Fusion, but has more niche appeal than the less expensive Hero8 Black...
Are the GoPro Hero 8 Black Edition and GoPro Max 360 camera worth an upgrade or new purchase? I definitely think the Hero 8 is worth it. GoPro always makes great cameras that are waterproof down to 33 feet, take great pictures when there is enough availab...
No traditional 4K video capture, No PC editing app (as of Nov 2019), App experience needs work
We went into reviewing the GoPro Max thinking it was a 360-degree action cam for enthusiasts; we've come out realizing everyone could benefit from having one. Hit record and forget about framing (within reason), then edit your footage in the app. The GoPr...

So here's the thing. The Max is an incredible camera if you've never used a GoPro Hero 7 or Hero 8. It's also far more streamlined than the GoPro Fusion ever was. Fusion was a great tool, but the barrier to usage for day to day scenarios was high from a w...
Familiar, durable GoPro hardware, Great audio quality, Responsive touchscreen
Stabilization is jittery, especially at night, Linear, non-fisheye footage is grainy, Doesn't have as many resolution and frame rate options as the Hero 8
No 4K video capture, Expensive, Android 10 app needs work,
GoPro has done something special with the MAX – it's made 360-degree footage usable by pretty much anybody. The fact the MAX doubles up as a vlogging cam and an action cam too only adds to its appeal. We would have loved 4K single-camera capture, but give...

Superior stability, Fun tools like 360 TimeWarp and PowerPano, Improved app and UI, Touchscreen for much easier setup,
Fewer video modes, Some low-light video “twitches”, Stitching is good but not always perfect,
I was pretty excited when I first heard about Max. I'm not particularly interested in 360-degree video, but I do like some of the creative tools it brings to regular videos. Max, with its improved stability, superior audio and all-seeing-eye(s) promised t...
