GoPro is back with a refreshed take on its 360° action camera—the GoPro MAX 2025. While the iconic dual-lens setup remains, this new edition packs a slew of hardware and software upgrades that make it easier than ever to shoot, edit, and share immersive content. With a focus on usability, creativity, and cross-platform compatibility, this version could be a game-changer for content creators of all levels.
Enhanced Editing with Smarter Software
At the heart of the new GoPro MAX experience is an updated Quik App, now smarter and more intuitive. Footage is automatically analyzed to find the best moments, which are then seamlessly transformed into polished videos—complete with dynamic transitions and stylish effects. Thanks to cloud integration, you can start editing from virtually anywhere, no heavy-duty computer needed.
Creative Freedom with Reframe and CameraFX
One standout feature is the enhanced Reframe tool, which lets you choose your ideal camera angles after you shoot. This means you can add movement, zooms, and pans to your footage during editing—perfect for crafting cinematic shots without ever touching the camera.
New to this version is CameraFX, a suite of creative tools offering effects like tiny planet and hyperlapse. It’s a dream for social creators who want eye-catching visuals without spending hours in post-production.
Smarter Shooting with Auto Subject Tracking
GoPro has also added object tracking to the MAX 2025. Whether you’re filming action sports, your dog at the park, or yourself on a hike, the camera intelligently keeps your subject in frame—no manual adjustments needed. The result? Smooth, cinematic clips every time.
A striking addition is the improved Reframe function.
Optimized for YouTube and TikTok
In a world where creators publish across multiple platforms, GoPro now lets you capture horizontal and vertical video simultaneously. This dual-format recording ensures you’re ready to post to YouTube, Instagram Reels, or TikTok without extra editing or re-shoots.
The popular Invisible Selfie Stick effect is still here too, erasing the stick from your footage so it looks like your camera is floating—perfect for those epic third-person action shots.
Mounts Like a Pro
The new MAX is more versatile than ever, thanks to a built-in 1/4-20 tripod thread. That means it’s compatible with just about any mounting system—from helmets and tripods to drones and custom rigs.
Final Thoughts (Pre-Review)
The GoPro MAX 2025 seems tailor-made for today’s fast-paced creators—whether you’re filming extreme sports, travel adventures, or day-in-the-life vlogs. With smarter software, intuitive tools, and a focus on creativity without complication, GoPro might just have created its most compelling 360° camera yet.
Could this be the MAX that finally topples Insta360 and DJI? We’ll let you know once we’ve tested it in the wild.
