When GoPro started experimenting with panoramic cameras, bolting together loads of GoPros in 2015, the world of surround imaging was barely even discussed. Now it's a very competitive place, and the legendary action camera brand has been seen to be slipping behind. Will the long trailed and delayed GoPro Max 2 deal the company back in the game of photography's future?
Who are these two competitors? Insta360 is now the biggest brand in 360 imaging, bringing out a new X-series camera every year, now on the X5, while the Chinese giant best known for its drones, DJI, that has also been pushing hard against standard GoPro cameras launched its first Osmo 360 just a few weeks ago.
