GoPro Max 2: rumors, expected specs and what we already know

The GoPro Max 2 is one of the most anticipated cameras of 2025. More than five years after the release of the GoPro Max, immersive video and 360° enthusiasts are finally hoping for a model that lives up to current expectations. So, what do the rumors have in store for us about this new action cam? Here is a complete tour of what is already circulating on the web.

🔎 Background and expectations

The first GoPro Max was a hit with its dual use: filming in 360° or in classic “Hero” mode. But since then, the competition has exploded with models like the Insta360 X5 or the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The GoPro Max 2 should therefore mark a real turning point and put the brand back at the center of the immersive camera market.

🛠 The GoPro Max 2 Specs Rumors

Even if nothing is official yet, several elements come up regularly in leaks and discussions:

8K 360° video : a big improvement compared to the 5.6K of the first Max.
Larger sensors : for better performance, especially in low light.
Better thermal management : A new design with visible heat sinks.
Standard GoPro mount : the folding finger system should remain present.
Replaceable lenses : insistent rumor that would reinforce durability and versatility.
Improved software : better stabilization, auto-tracking, intelligent cropping from 360° video.
More durable battery : increased battery life, with better heat management.
LCD screen : probably present, even if the prototypes did not show one.
Price : expected around €450 to €600, which would put it up against the competition’s premium models.

⚠️ Grey areas

Despite all these rumors, some information remains uncertain:

The true final resolution in 8K (native or interpolated).
The actual battery life in intensive use, especially in 360° recording.
The weight and size of the device.
Low-light performance, often a weak point of GoPros.
The exact release date: some are talking about September, others about the end of 2025.

🔭 What users are hoping for

Content creators expect the GoPro Max 2 to offer:

Better robustness in the face of extreme conditions (cold, heat, water).

✅ Conclusion

The GoPro Max 2 is surrounded by many rumors that excite the community of videographers and sportsmen.
