Any of you have a GoPro Max? Well now you can enable 360 time lapse with a firmware update … available from 15th April.
Taken from Engadget … The 360 camera is getting a firmware update that adds a few features that were missing at launch. Most notably the addition of a 60fps recording option for 360 videos, and spherical video and time lapse modes.
When GoPro unveiled Max, it solved a lot of the issues we had with Fusion — the company’s first stab at a 360-camera. Not only was it smaller, the user experience was much improved and a slew of new features like Max HyperSmooth and 360 TimeWarp added exciting creative options. But a few things were notable by their absence. There was no slow-motion at all, and 360 time lapse options were limited to TimeWarp (which is conceptually similar but less apt for higher quality photos).
With the new firmware, you’ll finally have some form of slow motion in 360 mode, albeit just 60fps (2x). There is a trade off in resolution, too, as you’ll have to shoot in 3K. This might sound a lot, but given Max is essentially two cameras, it’s a relative step down from the standard 5.6K (stitched) image available at 30 fps.
The update is currently due to land around April 15th
