Finally, GoPro has re-entered the 360 camera game. It’s been quite a while now since the launch of the original GoPro MAX, and I was starting to think GoPro had backed out of the 360 arena completely.
Since the launch of the Insta360 X4 in 2024, the original MAX has been completely outdated, only shooting 360 footage at a mere 5.6K resolution. The X4, meanwhile, alongside its successors the Insta360 X5, Insta360 X4 and the rival DJI Osmo 360 all shoot 360 footage in 8K. That’s the resolution you realistically need if you want to reframe your 360 footage in 16:9 at 4K with a usable field of view.
