Action Camera GoPro MAX 360 (2025) — 360° capture, 6K Ultra HD, built-in display, Wi‑Fi, GPS, Black

GoPro MAX 360 (2025) is a versatile action camera that combines traditional HERO-style shooting with full 360° capture and 6K Ultra HD recording. It includes a built-in touchscreen display, advanced stabilization, six microphones for immersive audio, Wi‑Fi and GPS connectivity, voice control and live-streaming support. The camera is rugged and waterproof, designed for outdoor sports, travel and immersive video creation.

Advantages

The GoPro MAX 360 offers both conventional HERO-mode video and photos as well as full 360° capture, giving flexibility for traditional and immersive content. Max HyperSmooth stabilization and horizon leveling provide steady, cinematic footage in motion. PowerPano enables wide panoramic photos without panning, while four digital lenses in HERO mode let you select the desired field of view. Six onboard microphones provide enhanced stereo and directional audio. The camera supports Max TimeWarp for stabilized time-lapse while moving, in-camera 360° stitching and fast reformatting to standard video via the GoPro app. It is compact, durable, waterproof to 5 m, compatible with GoPro mounts and accessories, and uses HEVC/H.265 to save card space.

Suitable for

• Action sports and adventure filming
• Travel and landscape panoramas
• Vlogging and social media content (portrait orientation supported)
• Immersive 360° experiences and virtual tours
• Time-lapse and motion-based captures

When it may not be suitable

The GoPro MAX 360 is optimized for action and 360° capture rather than professional cinema workflows that require large sensors or interchangeable lenses. If your primary need is single-lens cinematic filmmaking with shallow depth of field or native support for certain professional codecs and color workflows, a dedicated mirrorless or cinema camera may be more appropriate. Battery life may be limited in intensive 6K/360° recording modes, so extended shoots could require spare batteries or external power solutions.

How to use

Turn on the camera and choose between HERO mode for conventional single-lens shots or 360° mode for immersive capture. Use the touchscreen to change settings, select digital lenses in HERO mode, start Max TimeWarp for stabilized time-lapses, or enable PowerPano for wide panoramic photos. For vlogging or directional sound capture, select the appropriate audio directional settings. Use the GoPro app to stitch 360° footage in-camera, reformat 360° recordings into traditional flat videos or photos, live stream in 1080p, and automatically back up media when paired with GoPro cloud services. Carry spare batteries for extended sessions and use compatible mounts for hands-free capture.

What to consider before purchase

• Primary shooting style: HERO single-lens vs. full 360° immersive capture
• Expected recording resolution and frame rates for your use cases (6K/5.6K for 360°, up to 1440p/1080p in HERO)
• Battery life in high-resolution or continuous recording modes and need for spare batteries
• Compatibility with existing GoPro mounts and accessories you plan to use
• Storage requirements and use of HEVC (H.265) for space-saving files

Recommendations

Test different modes and digital lenses before important shoots to determine the best settings for HERO or 360° capture. Carry an extra battery and use the GoPro app to stitch and reformat 360° footage for sharing or editing. When live streaming, use HERO mode at 1080p for stabilized output and save a local copy to the SD card.
