Here's a tip for those who use the GoPro Max in Hero Mode with 'The Remote' -- You can toggle between each lens by holding down the wrench icon on the remote. Handy if you place your GoPro Max at one end of your kayak and don't want to have to get out to swap it around.

Here's a test video with the step-by-step instructions in the video description.

[@ForeverLearning]

No Clip Mode... Hope you can help - I recently purchased a GoPro Max, it came up to date with its software, but I did check for updates just in case. I thought the clip mode feature would work well as I'm trying to capture cycling video from multiple cameras. Thus shorter clips would be easier to edit. However my camera does not have Clip Mode. When I click the edit icon it shows me Mode: with 360 greyed out. Nothing underneath except I think shutter. Did GoPro remove this feature? Its listed in the manual, but not with much detail.

[@EatSleep360]

Yes I noticed it disappeared from my max as well - it makes no sense as this was a brilliant feature

[@WiljanWiljan]

Truly love all of these tips and have viewed this video several times to learn as much as possible. One more tip I would like to see is about the best settings when using the Max in low light conditions? can you add these as well?

[@EatSleep360]

Wiljan5560 Wiljan5560 Thanks for your comment and for watching. I haven’t shot in low light yet but will put this on my list.

[@outon2s]

No action camera is really good in low light conditions. 360s even worse. Maybe go for the Go Pro 8 with the light adapter.

[@hectormanuelgonzalez8418]

recently I bought the gopro max but I haven't been able to edit in the gopro app, do you know of any solution for it? ..

[@EatSleep360]

Héctor Manuel González thanks for your comment - in what way can’t you edit? Have you downloaded the clips from your camera first to the app using the download icon? Are you iOS or Android? Please give me more detail, thanks.

[@Baerchenization]

#11 It says in the manual that the battery does not get charged while recording, so I don't think it would over-heat.

[@anythinggoesletsdogood1259]

Question, if i use power bank in Gopro max 360 it will not overheat? Even i use it for a long time? Thanks in advance :)

[@EatSleep360]

I haven’t had issues with the Max overheating but haven’t tried it for real long records. If you take the battery out and only use the power bank this will help keep it cooler.

[@SteveJarriel]

Useful video, thanks! Quick Tip #21! If one uses a power bank with at least 1.5 amps, you can do a hot swap between batteries as well as not be concerned about losing power while streaming live events. During those, the 1 amp power banks do not provide enough juice to simultaneously power both the camera and stream the live event.

[@EatSleep360]

Thanks Steve, that’s good to know. I haven’t tried a live stream yet but I know with the one x the camera has to stay connected to the phone with a cable so you can’t charge the camera at the same time - is there a work around for this?

[@SteveJarriel]

@@EatSleep360 I'll do some more testing and let you know.

[@mariopena1058]

what "tripod" mounts you use for the max? can you put a link to buy them?

[@EatSleep360]

Mario Peña thanks for watching - this should be an easy question to answer but it’s not easy searching for the right mount. It’s so annoying that GoPro aren’t producing these. If you search for “joby pin joint mount” this should come up with the right one. Most that you see are curved and the joby one is straight. You do get one with the venture case and also the ulanzi case for the one x which is where I got mine from.

[@rameezfarouk2286]

Is there any hard case available for gopro max for underwater usage. Please do share the link if available.

[@EatSleep360]

There are some on amazon but I haven’t tested any so read the reviews amzn.to/2DOLQ2Q

[@bobclark2300]

Great video since I just got my first GoPro.. the Max! You did not mention anything about the little clear lens protector that you can use while filming? Why? Are they no good?

[@EatSleep360]

[@bobclark2300]

@@EatSleep360 Hah Ha...That answers my question perfectly! Thanks. I'm gonna love the protectors, especially when I'm in the car or filming fish on the release! Thanks so much!

[@Luenebahn]

If you set the anti flickering option to 60 Hz the Camera will record in 30 FPS instead of 25 which makes the videos a lot smoother. But make sure to set it back to 50 Hz for recording under artificial light conditions in 50 Hz countries. The image stabilisation does not work when you export the video into a folder with "special characters" like "ä" or "ü". Sounds odd but it is true. I had exported my Videos into a folder named "Frühling" (German for "spring") and the footage was unstabilised.

[@EatSleep360]

Thanks, yes I keep mine on 50hz so I can record at 25fps as this matches everything else I shoot

[@Senthiil]

@EatSleep360 Hi, Thanks for sharing the tips, I have a question, in your 20th tip, you are showing the clip menu, but In 360 video mode 'clip' mode is not available in my camera, I wish to take maximum 30 sec video in 360 mode. How can I enable it?

Any rumors on GoPro Max getting future update to get 50 or 60 fps for slow motion?

[@EatSleep360]

Tom S thanks for your comment, I haven’t got any inside knowledge but the fusion had 60fps and this (along with other things) has to happen to keep them in the game so my guess is this will come in the next 3 months. I know that doesn’t sound very reassuring but these things move slowly and i think there will be a big update which will address a lot of issues. or am I dreaming? 🤔 I hope not 😃

[@EatSleep360]

André Wiegner thanks for your comment - the Max should last around 1 hour so 20% loss after 20 minutes is actually good. If you take the battery out of the Max it’s less likely to go dead so quickly but unfortunately it will go flat after a while. Your Osmo pocket seems very good for battery.

[@andrewiegner7586]

Eat Sleep 360 oh I have seen somewhere in KZbin that the person told it was two hours of use and he was astonished of this long time. So finally it’s not better than the batteries with Insta.

Desaster for Windows Users: I have a GoPro MAX .... if you are a Windows 10 user like me and may others, then you will expereince that the GoPro software is a Desaster. It has problems installing, throwing error numbers at you. Then you discover that 360 editing is not in the standard software but another software, that you need to buy from the Microsoft Store. This software continually crashes is also a Desaster. When you contact GoPro support ... they just ignore you. the GoPro Max us great, but dont think you are going to produce any 360 videos with it on Windows 10!

[@EatSleep360]

Chris Bentley WireUp yes I have windows 10 but use premiere which is really good with the Max but not cheap. They are working on a desktop editor but they take too long to develop the software, it’s a shame as the max has so much potential. Thanks for watching.
