The touchscreen is very responsive, but you can’t use it to scroll around your frame in 360 mode since the screen has swiping gestures, such as swiping down to reach the main menu. Stitching 360-degree footage underwater is an ongoing problem for GoPro, and this waterproofing is better suited for strapping the camera to the front of a surfboard without having to worry about it getting wrecked.

The big plus here is if you’re vlogging or taking a selfie, you can see yourself like on the DJI Osmo Action because, well, it has two lenses!Īlthough the camera is waterproof up to 16 feet, GoPro says it is not an underwater camera. The touchscreen on the Max is a bit smaller than the touchscreen on the back of the Hero 8, but its menu system is identical. The Max is similar in design to the Hero 8, but clearly bigger.
