Utilising similar size sensors would result in improved low light video and all-round improved dynamic range. The newer Ricoh Theta X and Insta360 X3 features 1/2 inch sensors, twice the size of the current Max sensors. We could see improved sensor technology or maybe even larger sensors.

That doesn’t mean we can’t expect a significant upgrade in video quality, after-all resolution isn’t everything. This would represent a major upgrade from the Max and would make the Max 2 a powerful 2-in-1 device. The single lens “Hero Mode” which allows you to shoot flat, non-360 video could be upgraded to shoot 4K as opposed to 1080p. An 8K Max 2 would not be a feasible product for most consumers. Video resolution of 8K, the next highest increment, wouldn’t be feasible to edit on most peoples desktops, let alone mobile devices. While many people may expect a resolution increase to be the main upgrade, I think that’s unlikely. So, what can we realistically expect from a second generation Max camera? Let’s take a look a the original specs to see where we are starting from.

A lack of software options, limited frame rate and photography options held back the potential of the camera.

The video quality is still among the best out of any consumer 360 camera and the stabilization can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. The Max was way ahead of its time when it was released and is still very usable to this day. The one piece of evidence we do have that GoPro is working on an upgrade is a patent that GoPro registered that described how software could automatically reframe 360 video using AI. Still, there’s not much to confirm that a Max 2 is coming or if it does, what features it may have. It’s been over three years since the GoPro Max was released and if a sequel is going to come then it’s got be this year. In fact GoPro replied to a comment on social media confirming that it wasn’t coming. Well 2022 came and went and no GoPro Max 2 was never released. This is in addition to the aggressive road map we have planned for software, including new cloud capabilities and an all-new subscription-based desktop application.” And we expect to expand that further by the end of 2023. “At the end of 2022, we plan to increase our hardware offering from the two product types we have today, HERO and MAX, to four distinct camera products. In the 2022 earnings call GoPro had plenty to say, most interestingly they announced their intention to double the number of cameras in their line-up by the end of 2022 and go even further in 2023. No other info was given but this confirms that GoPro is definitely working on a Max 2. September 2023 Update: At the GoPro Hero 12 Launch event, CEO and Founder Nick Woodman confirmed that a GoPro Max successor is “in the works and will be worth the wait”.
