Great video something I don’t think I need for Moto logging anyway. I’ve always wondered about these things. Thanks for creating the vid.😊

You have to know why you need it, to ride a bicycle with the camera on my chest in vertical mode you can see the entire handlebar, it suits me perfectly

I got the max lens mod 2 and realised it's just not worth the dollar. The super wide views are just awful with that much distortion. Hero 12 without max lens in linear horizon lock is actually the best option overall. In 4:3 mode without Max lens it's limited to 2.7k resolution whereas previous cameras had option for 4:3 4k 60.. Just to puch users to buy the max lens mod and enable that 4:3 4k 60. I honestly just prefer the hero 12 without Max lens mod now. Good video and informative 👍

Am I seeing it right but it I think it looks sharper with the mod 2.0? Also your face seems to be more in focus with the 2.0. That could be a big deal for vloggers, not having only the background in focus.

Awesome no-nonsense review, thanks!

Has the new software updates made it so linear mode is available for the Max Mod 2.0? Eliminating the fish eye distortion with a wide field of view would make this a buy for me.

I use it for skateboarding in 4:3. I think it looks great. Definitely disappointed that some settings are limited. But for my use case it works

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 10 ай бұрын

Skateboarding, skiing/snowboarding, and other similar activities are kinda what this is made for in my opinion.

How does it orient the horizon? Does horizon lock have a start point? In other words, does it lock on what it thinks is the horizon when you turn on the GoPro?

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 9 ай бұрын

It uses a gyroscope to sense the orientation of which way is up or down. Same way you can use your phone to play racing games where you tilt the phone from side to side to steer. So it doesn’t use any image recognition to determine the horizon - it’s all done with sensors.

@doel89 Ай бұрын

just a question.. if i had the max lens attach.. i have to choose the max mode with 4k and horizon lock.. but i realized i could keep the lens on and use 5.3k and just get a fish eye view with boost stabilization ?

Thanks for the video, is it possible to film in 8:7 5.3 K with that full circle image if you don’t enable the mod setting? I’m thinking about getting two of these to shoot some 180° VR footage.

@vrASMR180 5 ай бұрын

I want a 180 FOV capable GoPro because KZbin supports 180 degree 3D videos (meant for VR) but honestly those clips look good even without the 3D function on.

@James-qy4es 10 ай бұрын

btw how durable is the lens itself? would you put a go pro with lens 2.0 in your cycling jersey back pocket without rubber cover or will it get scratches instantly?

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 10 ай бұрын

I mean GoPro *says* it’s more scratch resistant and durable than the 1.0 model, but I still have a hard time being rough on any lenses like this that curve out. Cycling jersey back pocket probably wouldn’t be too tough on it though.

@kellerferenc 8 ай бұрын

I’m thinking about buying it to use it for my stills. I film tandem skydives and don’t really wanna put a stills camera on my helmet! What do you think? Would that work?

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 8 ай бұрын

Are you already using a GoPro camera on your helmet to take stills or no? If not I’d maybe just start with a regular GoPro 12 as I think the Max Lens Mod 2.0 might almost be too wide. (Though I don’t really know what focal length skydivers usually use for a stills camera)

@kellerferenc 8 ай бұрын

@@DigitalTechReviewsTips I’m using 2 GoPro 10s one for video and one for stills and I should have a back up camera if anything goes wrong with one of the cameras… if I get the 12 with the max lens I will have to modify my mount or order a new one that is compatible with the max lens… I don’t really know the technical side of photography I just know how to fly but I’m willing to learn!!

The max lense mod 2.0 cannot use a HDR so I sell my mine.

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 9 ай бұрын

Yes the lack of HDR is definitely a big trade off. Sorry you didn’t find my video before you bought the Max Lens Mod 2.0.

Is it worth the Buy if using motobike videos ?

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 10 ай бұрын

Potentially. It really depends on your filming style. If you find yourself using the hyperview and superview options a lot with the standard GoPro it might be worth considering as it gives a less warped look to that. For POV could be worth it.

They need to make a waterproof case that fits the max lens mod

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 10 ай бұрын

For diving? The MLM2 and GoPro are still waterproof to 5 meters (though GoPro doesn’t recommend using underwater due to image distortion).

It makes the mountain behind looks like it completely flat. Terrain is flattet out completely. For action this is bad.

looks like you cant use nd filters with it also huh? shux

@DigitalTechReviewsTips 7 ай бұрын

Great point actually! Didn’t think about that since I almost never use ND filters on my GoPros (just my shooting style, doesn’t mean you should or shouldn’t) but that is 100% correct: due to the dome shape of the MLM 2.0, users cannot use an ND filter while the lens is attached.
