- A GoPro Max 2 -Prototype is for sale
- The early version is missing a screen
- A full launch to the camera is expected soon
The wait for a successor to GoPro Max has been long-360-degree camera, launched all the way back in 2019-but a new leak gives us more evidence that a successor is finally on the brink of being introduced.
As stained by notebookcheck and a thread on Reddit, a prototype for GoPro Max 2 is now shown in a Chinese marketplace. One of the most important gifts that it is a prototype is that it does not have a screen that the actual model will do.
We look at the folded fingers mounted system present on other recent GoPro cameras, and on some of the interior components: the size of the cooling plates suggests this is a camera that may be running quite hot.
The leak also gives us a good look at the size and location of one of the front cameras. We will have to wait and see how the image and video quality hold up against the Insta360 X5 and the upcoming DJI Osmo 360.
Long comes
Given that this is clearly a prototype of GoPro Max 2, we are somewhat limited in terms of what we can remove about the final version of the upcoming camera, but it is still an interesting leak that reveals some of what Google has been working on.
Our hope was erected with an official GoPro Max 2 trailer at the beginning of the month, but we haven’t heard anything from GoPro since about this camera. Presumably a full reveal may not be too far away now.
We got some adjustments to the original GoPro Max back in February, but not the full update we’ve been waiting for. GoPro has gone on a record such as saying that there have been production delays over the years and pushed the GoPro Max 2 launch further and further.
Hopefully there is not too much longer to wait now and we would expect the 360-degree camera to go right into our list of the best Gopros. As soon as GoPro says something else official, of course, we will tell you.
