The GoPro Max 2 is coming next week, with another mystery camera – and we’ve seen a ton of leaks

It’s arriving along with another camera on September 23
We’ve seen plenty of leaks for the new model

It’s been a long wait for the GoPro Max 2, because the original GoPro Max 360-degree camera launched all the way back in 2019. Now we know that the device will be launched on Tuesday, September 23, along with another new GoPro camera.

Head to the official GoPro social media channels to see the announcement of a launch date, and a teaser of what’s coming. One of the cameras we can see in the teaser matches up with official images of the GoPro Max 2 that have already been released.
It’s not so clear what the second camera in the teaser image is. According to New Camera (via Notebookcheck), it’s the GoPro Lit Hero, a budget 4K action camera – so it’s not, as might have been expected, the GoPro Hero 14 Black.

It seems the new model is a successor to the GoPro Hero that launched last September, with the addition of some bright LED lights on the front of the device. You can see these are featured in the teaser clip that GoPro has posted.

Specs appeal

While we count down the hours until Tuesday, well-known tipster Igor Bogdanov has been posting a ton of spec and image leaks for the GoPro Max 2, adding to information that’s previously made its way out into the world.
We’re apparently getting an 8K video resolution with the new GoPro Max 2, with 10-bit color and slow motion modes available. Video stabilization features are also mentioned, along with a 29-megapixel camera sensor.
The GoPro Max 2 is said to have a total of six built-in microphones for 360-degree stereo sound, with waterproofing up to five meters without any additional housing. There’s going to be support for Bluetooth microphones for audio recording too.
