FAQs
Why is MAX2 the best 360 camera for action?

MAX2 is the best 360 camera for action. It is rugged, durable, and has easily replaceable lenses you can attach in the field by hand—simply twist them on and keep shooting!
Why are the MAX2 Replaceable Lenses better than others and so important for 360 action videos?

The MAX2 lenses are easy to remove and replace by hand, out in-the-field. No special lens calibrations needed. Just swap them out in a couple minutes by hand, and keep on shooting! The lenses are made from hardened, high-clarity glass that delivers exceptional optical performance, optimal light transmission, and remarkable durability.

How do I get super immersive POV footage from MAX2?
MAX2 provides the best POV, with maximum ease. It has a dedicated POV Mode that actually captures a 360 video, which the Quik app then automatically presents to you as a 180° POV shot, in up to 8K! With minimal or no editing necessary, you’ll get an super-immersive, perfectly stabilized POV of your activity. And because that shot has been captured as a 360 video, you can still create any view you want out of the footage later on in the Quik app, too. So you’ll get served that amazing 180° POV, and can explore everything else you captured later. MAX2 also shoots high-resolution 4K60 single-lens video, and with the Max HyperView digital lens, can capture POV footage with an incredible 180° field-of-view that really enhances the sense of speed. It’s all your choice! MAX2 is perfect for easily capturing POV footage that looks great on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, all at the same time!
