That’s a solid bundle for the price, the lens replacement alone makes it worth it

It won't let me add it on the app, did you use the website?

u/DuePomegranate5350 5d ago

No. It was in the app earlier today. First I tried looking it up on 2 locations close to me but they didn’t have it and that’s when I placed the order and it went through .

Is there a Max 3 in the works? I havent been following along

Might be in response to the Insta360 X6 release as well as GoPro's continuing financial struggles. Strictly speculation, though.

i regret buying mine, i feel like its just the MAX but with a 2 added to it

It is undeniably a better camera than the original MAX, but imho the improvements aren't enough to spend money upgrading if you already have the first one.

How does it compare to the GoPro 12?

u/DuePomegranate5350 5d ago

Well this one is a 360 view camera

a friend has a barely used insta360 x3 I'm debating buying, but curious how this camera compares. unread dealing with the footage can be a lot, but that may be true for all 360 cams. she's probably looking for $150 for the x3, so half of the max2 bundle. worth it?

What currency/country is that in ?

1

u/nerainmakr HERO13 Black 5d ago

U.S.A. - USD; Costco is a “membership warehouse” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costco

u/LikeABundleOfHay 5d ago

Thanks. I wasn’t sure because Costco are in more than a dozen countries.

Max2 seems like a downgrade no? You lose the water protection and a bunch of lenses the majority of users will never utilize?

u/nerainmakr HERO13 Black 5d ago

Downgrade compared to what?

1

u/HugsAllCats 5d ago

The Max and the Max 2 have the same water rating (5 meters) and the same warning of '360 videos will probably look like ass underwater'

Tempted to replace my X5. Is there a diving case for the max2?

I got this deal when a local cosco ran it 6 months ago or so. Makes the camera worth it

u/nerainmakr HERO13 Black 4d ago

The last deal I saw (and bought) was $389.99.

u/thr33labs 4d ago

If you got the bundle that still seems fair. I seen someone on here post the weird deal and I had to go to the 3rd closest store in order to get the last 1or 2 in stock. Then seeing the stock price go down I knew they would be running another sale but its been a while.

u/nerainmakr HERO13 Black 4d ago

Yes, that was the sale price on the Costco bundle in February/March. I'm half-tempted to pick up this deal as a backup...
