MAX2

What do you mean by 360 “VR”? Usually that means 360 3D, and the reference on a budget would be an Insta360 Pro2. But if your budget is under the R5C, forget about the Pro2, too. If you meant “flat” 360, no clue. I’d say Insta360 X5 has the better software and manages better the overheat, DJI Osmo t

DJI Osmo 360 vs. Insta360 X5 vs. GoPro MAX2 vs. Akaso 360 Insta360 X5 vs Akaso 360 Action Camera - Budget versus Expensive From these reviews, I think the image quality from Akaso is on par with GoPro Max 360 first generation, a very old 360 camera.

I'm no GoPro fanboy... I fucking hate the company and their shitty software. I also love the Insta360 software. That said, the X5 "8K" is fake. It's not a true 8K, it's an upscaled 5.7k I believe. Do with that information what you will. Not having seen any real reviews on the MAX2 yet, who can say i

The DJI studio app is free and a clone of insta studio which is free too. My workflow is usually batch edit with GoPro player to .mp4 and then if I don’t want to use a lot of the key framing I just use FCP to get the scene framed, cut, and edited. If I want to do some fun spherical framing I export

DJI is well know to improve quickly, they have a significant amount of engineers and programmers on hand. I've watched the app and camera go through a few great changes since. The problem is that the lenses aren't as simple to replace as the X5/Max2. But at this time if you are travelling mostly in

Osmo360 & Max2 dropped in the last weeks/months. X5 has been out a 5 months. The X3 came out in 9/2022, X4 in 4/2024, X5 in 4/2025 - the X5 was an accelerated release, not part of their normal cadence. It fixed their biggest issue, the replaceable lenses. None will get a full refreshed before the Ka

The mids are lifted more on the 6 and that is what gives some the impression of soft/noise. My kit includes a Hero 12,13,max2,nano, osmo 360, and the action 6 along with DJI air 3s.. The 6 gives the best image but GoPro color science is better straight out of the camera. A short amount of editing ge

If you don't want to hassle with the extra time to edit 360 footage and are buying new, a GoPro Hero 13. Also pick up the Ultra Wide lens to get the biggest field of view possible with the easiest editing experience. The GoPro Max2 is a good 360 camera as well as the more expensive Insta360. If you

The most popular video format is 180°3D, very inmmersive, good image quality with some cameras, and easier to record than 360° vídeos. I have an Insta360 Pro (360 3D at 6K) and a GoPro Max2 mod (180 3D at 8K), and mostly use only the GoPro.

Note that almost all action cams handle bright light, it's the dark that is painful. Personally I would look into a 360 camera (I have both 360 and non-360 cameras) The ability to pick what you want in post is pretty amazing. For example mowing - you can get a pov view and a side view and operator v
