An ageing camera that has aged into a bargain. If you want to try 360 without spending flagship money, the MAX is the obvious entry point — provided you accept softer footage than modern 360 cameras and commit to the editing time.

Our take

GoPro MAX review: the cheapest way into 360 video

The original GoPro MAX is now one of the best-value 360 cameras in the UK — invisible selfie stick shots, reframe-later footage and a proper front screen, for less than a mid-range action camera.

What we like

  • 360 capture means you never miss the shot
  • Invisible selfie stick effect still looks like magic
  • Doubles as a very good single-lens vlogging camera
  • Now sells for a fraction of its launch price

What to watch

  • 5.6K spread around a sphere is not as sharp as it sounds
  • Exposed lenses scratch easily without caps
  • Editing 360 footage takes real time
  • Superseded by the much sharper Max 2

Quick answers

Is the GoPro MAX still worth buying?

At current UK prices, yes, as an entry point. The footage is softer than a current-generation 360 camera and the processor is slower, but the core trick — capture everything, choose your angle later — works exactly as well as it ever did.

What is the invisible selfie stick effect?

Because two lenses cover the full sphere, the software can erase the thin pole directly between them. The result looks like a drone shot orbiting you, from a stick you are holding. It is still the single most impressive thing 360 cameras do.

Can I use the GoPro MAX as a normal action camera?

Yes. HERO mode uses one lens for conventional wide footage at up to 1440p, with excellent stabilisation and a front-facing screen — which makes it a surprisingly good talking-to-camera device.
