The video footage isn&#8217;t as good as the other cameras in this guide, but you can swap the lens and have an action camera in a moment, which is the major selling point. That said, now that the X3 and X4 can also be used as 4K action cameras, the One RS is less tempting than it used to be. Still, if you like the action-camera form factor but want to be able to shoot 360 footage as well, this One RS is a great camera. The real combo would be the the 360 lens paired with the Leica lens, but the price for that combo is considerably higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GoPro-CHDHZ-201-MAX\/dp\/B07BPVPV14?th=1\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3WVdWb4brEJ3f9vNjadwUYgehPwwDf32dY3jFWdkyvbpt1yeVENaokqnP3A5u4bksZL4KwxSLeoAZEDztU3U5cEfoRYy8WNm5FbvRAkNUZrvsGnh3HKDwbjHAV5PiP8fWiukMevg1R2C6A624zH2u5LYRJpdUFJ7hrHa5rBio6XvvJCfbwjJ4n&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3WVdWb4brEJ3f9vNjadwUYgehPwwDf32dY3jFWdkyvbpt1yeVENaokqnP3A5u4bksZL4KwxSLeoAZEDztU3U5cEfoRYy8WNm5FbvRAkNUZrvsGnh3HKDwbjHAV5PiP8fWiukMevg1R2C6A624zH2u5LYRJpdUFJ7hrHa5rBio6XvvJCfbwjJ4n\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">GoPro Max for $822<\/a>:<\/strong> GoPro&#8217;s entry into the 360 camera world, the Max is a capable action camera, featuring 6K video in a waterproof form factor with industry-leading stabilization.

Like the X4, there&#8217;s a single-lens mode (called Hero mode), and, my favorite part, the Max is compatible with most GoPro mounts and accessories. The main reason the Max is not one of our top picks is that the Max 2 is likely coming very soon.
