I’ve never seen a price cut of this magnitude for a 360 camera – the GoProMax for £149 at Amazon (was £349). That’s £200 off GoPro’s original 5.3K twin lens-shooter, which makes it the UK’s most affordable 360 camera.

That’s even cheaper than GoPro’s budget brand rival, the Akaso 360 for £169 at Amazon (was £199). Despite being six years old now, the Max for £149 is a steal, especially considering the twin sensor and stabilization tech inside.

But, is it a deal you should snap up? After all, the Max was recently supplanted by the Max 2 (which, by the way, is also on sale – grab the Max 2 for £349 from WEX). I’ve got into much greater depth about which 360 camera is best for you in my Black Friday 360 camera deals roundup if you’d like to find out more.

In addition to that roundup, you should check out my best 360 cameras guide which is packed with buying advice and which cameras I rank the highest. If you’re also on the hunt for other consumer tech deals, be sure to swing by TechRadar’s live Black Friday coverage. Happy shopping!

Today's best GoPro Max Black Friday deal

GoPro Max: was £349 now £149 at Amazon

Unbelievable – £200 off the six-year-old GoPro Max makes it the UK's most affordable 360 camera. Despite its age, the Max still performs well, shooting crisp 5.3K 360 video and is an excellent value pick with this huge price cut. Naturally, it is directly compatible with GoPro's vast range of accessories.

Should I buy the GoPro Max?

It might be six years old, but the GoPro Max was ahead of its time in 2019, delivering full 360–degree coverage in 5.3K resolution, supported GoPro’s incredible HyperSmooth stabilization, and a huge range of accessories for various shooting scenarios, including car mounts and selife sticks.

GoPro announced a 2025 version of the original Max with a couple of tweaks and a more competitive list price, but that has now been obliterated by this Max deal. Since then, the Max 2 has entered the fray, and it's a meaty upgrade with industry-leading 8K quality.

There’s no doubt that 360 camera tech has moved on since 2019, and this year has been a particularly busy one with the new GoPro Max 2 and DJI Osmo 360 challenging the Insta360 X5 to be the best of them all.

You won't get the best quality 360-degree video with the Max, for that you'll want one of the latest GoPro Max 2, DJI Osmo 360 or Insta360 X5 flagships. But, what you do now get with this huge price cut is the best value option available.

Other Black Friday 360 camera deals

Akaso 360 : was £199.99 now £169.99 at Amazon

Launched in July, the Akaso 360 entered the market as a budget-friendly alternative to Insta360 and GoPro, and it remains the world's cheapest 360 camera, when considering list prices. It scored 4 stars in our in-depth review and capabilities-wise it is best compared to the Insta360 X3 and Max. It scores a 15% discount for Black Friday and is a bargain only exceeded by the Max.

GoPro has also slashed £100 off its latest 360 camera, and it only arrived in September, two months ago. You can grab that deal at WEX but also at GoPro's own site, where there is also a deal for the GoPro Max 2 + Accessories Bundle, which was £499 but now costs £399. With items totalling a combined value of over £540 – that's the camera, 2x Enduro batteries, memory card, and 1.2m selfie stick – this accessories bundle is arguably an even better package.

Price check: Max 2 £349 at GoPro
