Thanks for the review ! Helpful. We need to do a better job on audio for POV. Sent this to our audio engineers :) One thing that's helpful is in the GoPro app you can "unwarp" hyperview to either a superwide linear or regular undistorted wide if you're an app user (soon for desktop app too!), or in premiere use FX Reframe to unwarp Hyperview and copy over your max settings to get something similar. That's what I'll be doing with my POV content. I should make a tutorial !

Great video man. As a production minded snowboarder who’s always struggled with making GoPro content look good I really enjoy the behind the scenes. Camera settings, color grading, editing, etc. kind of niche but would love to see more.

Have been waiting for a while for a video like this to come out on Lucas channel!! very stoked, especially sense you are one of the people that’s been able to grasp all the small features each go pro has to offer, making it much easier for the public to choose exactly what they need!!!

A pro as always Lucas! Great review man, I have a 10 and the POV for social media is just not that great. I have been waiting for the max 2 - Nick Woodman said ‘it’s worth the wait’ so it’s possible it drops this winter.

That's really really helpful. I'm struggling between hero 12 and insta360 x3. 360 cam has it's own advantadge when it comes to POV shots.

I really liked the version with the nd filter as well. Really cool video for someone, like me, who is going to play with a gopro for the first time.

I like the 12 purely for the sense of speed. I also think for my use case as a more casual user that wants as little post processing work as possible it’s the best option. Thanks for the comparison 👍🏻

Thank you for this review!! This means a lot to me!!

Thanks for the review!! What about CPL filter, does it make any difference and make the skiing video looks better?

The MAX was ahead of its time, the video is so good. I have an Insta360 as well, but the MAX’s smaller size means it is still my go to. Crazy for a 4+ year old action camera!

Great vid especially cause I’m highly considering getting my first GoPro. Seems like if I’m just using for recreational use I should get the regular GoPro. But do u think it’s worth it to spend a bit more money for the 12 or just opt for the 11?

very nice video Lucas. I've been debating between the 2 for my new POV cam. I think the Max will take my channel to the next level!

Love this content Lucas! May have missed this, but did you have horizon lock on for your hero 12 + MLM? Was just reading that stability may be worse with horizon lock on. I have had it on so far and no issue

first time really doing a video like this and it was fun! wasn't a totally perfect comparison as I don't have a true side-by-side rig, but hopefully this provided some insight on the different FOVs you can get with some of the main wide angle modes! would be happy to try and answer any other Q's this video might have sparked. so much more info regarding all of this stuff - coulda been a 1hr video!

Is a case neccesary? If so what case can I use to protect the lens and gopro if I were to buy the 12 with the lens. Thanks!

You gave me much needed help in trying to narrow down my choice. Please give me your input on which one to choose from. I run a car club and we travel through the mountains but no one films our cruises. These things aren't cheap, so I want to make the best choice from the start. We do day trips only and they last about 2 hours max. I'd like to be able to film the cars in front of me and behind me simultaneously(if possible). It would be great if there was an outside mount that could rotate but that might be wishful thinking. I just don't know what to do but I've narrowed all of it to these 2 choices you presented. Please give me you thoughts!

Can the GoPro Hero 12 film in 16:9 and 9:16 at the same time? I would hate to only film in vertical and lose the horizontal footage

Currently rocking a Hero 10 and making it work, but for my money, that Hero 12 + MLM 2.0 + ability to use an ND is looking awesome! I think you and Abe are somewhat of an army of two when it comes to the stuff you guys make with a Max. The other max footage I've seen is nowhere near to being on par, and the Insta360 x3 is probably a better camera tbh. Really enjoyed this video and the insights, I might grab a H12 bundle over Black Friday :D

I personally really loved the hyperview + nd but it sucks that it doesn't control the exposure so the footage in the shade isn't the best. Is there anyway to get that similar, immersive footage using the gopro max? (I don't really know how it would be possible but I'm planning on buying an action camera for this upcoming season)

@LucasCatania17

You could still have the exposure controlled if you set the shutter to auto and increased the iso max to something like 400! Locking the shutter at a specific speed like I did there will make it so I am guaranteed the correct motion blur, but if you still wanted the auto control that the GoPro gives - you could slap the ND filter on and leave the shutter at auto!

Is it just me or did him putting on the ND32 filter to the Hero 12+ drastically cut down the wind noise? Anyone else notice that? Or am I just loosing my mind? Most likely the latter! 👊🏼

We go skiing and snowboarding once in a while too and it’s the first time he’s gonna be using a GoPro.

⁠@@LucasCatania17that was my thought exactly when I was reading her comment. I was thinking the her 11 or the 12, but since they are new to action cameras I’d personally lean more towards the 11 if I were them. Either way though, the 11 or 12 would be perfect for her and her boyfriend. That being said, if I’m being really honest, if she could find a place that sells them, I would even recommend a hero 9 or 10. Those are insanely good cameras with almost all the same features as the newest GoPro models (the 11, 12, and Max). You could probably get a Hero 9 for super duper cheap and then use that extra money you saved to buy some accessories. Because we all know that you can’t dive into the world of GoPro and action sports cameras without becoming a accessory addict! LOL I’m joking, but not really! Haha. No but for real, I’d do a hero 9 and then take that left over few hundred bucks and buy a decent sized 512 GB microSD card or maybe a few smaller ones (instead of one bigger one), buy an extra battery or two (because I guarantee you’ll end up needing more than one battery), and then buy a few different handles and/or mounts. Trust me, if this is her boyfriends first action camera, all the items I just mentioned are all things you guys will end up buying anyway. I think a lot of people go into buying GoPros and action sports cameras thinking they can just buy the camera and they’re good to go. Lots of people don’t realize you need to buy a storage card, a pole or handle, etc. I guess what I’m saying is maybe if someone had a tighter budget, who was also brand new to world of action sports camera, going with a hero 9 or 10 and then buying some accessories…. Is the way to go. I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️, though. I’m just a random dude on the internet voicing his thoughts! 👊🏼👊🏼

And are you saving the settings (in your "bag of tricks") to drop on the timeline? Say, a folder for low light with pre-set color correct for each camera. Then one for sunny, etc. How much do you have in your "bag of tricks" to pre-set transitions, font, the upper right bug, etc...? And how much does this aid with speed of editing?
