GoPro’s discounted Max 2 bundle includes $100 worth of accessories

The GoPro Max2 can use your earbuds as a microphone over Bluetooth. A 360-degree camera is a great way to ensure you capture every bit of the action, but prices tend to be on the high end for models worth your attention. That’s why it’s notable that the GoPro Max 2 accessory bundle is discounted to $369 at Amazon (a dollar more at Best Buy and GoPro). The bundle is stuffed for being just $70 more than the base camera, containing everything you need to shoot the best angles during all-day adventures. The capable camera can shoot 360-degree 8K video at 30 frames per second, or 180-degree 4K video at 60FPS, and it can attach to the wide ecosystem of GoPro-compatible mounts.

GoPro Max 2

Where to Buy:

$569 $369 at Amazon (accessory bundle)
$569 $369 at Best Buy (accessory bundle)

In addition to the Max 2 camera, the bundle includes a four-foot extension pole, two protective lens caps, two high-capacity batteries, a 64GB microSD card, a curved adhesive mount, a mounting buckle for GoPro mounts, a mounting finger adapter for cameras, two thumb screws, a wrist lanyard, a microfiber cloth, and a USB-C cable. The standalone camera includes most of those accessories, but has fewer mounts, a single battery, no SD card, and no extension pole. The pole and extra battery are $75 on their own, so you’re getting a solid deal before you even take the free microSD card into account.The Max 2’s six-mic array records in every direction and automatically reduces wind noise. Alternatively, you can connect Bluetooth microphones, too. The 1.82-inch LCD touchscreen lets you quickly check your footage and manage settings, and it’s waterproof up to 16 feet in case you want to take it swimming or surfing. A single battery should last 66 minutes at full 8K, or 90 minutes at 5.6K resolution. The lenses are replaceable, too, in case a bad fall damages them.View this post on Instagram

The RecreateDSKY project lets you remake Apollo’s guidance computer with a Raspberry Pi

I stopped using Notion after installing this open-source self-hosted alternative

Notion was my go-to app for notes and documentation for years. Like many people, I assumed I'd keep using it because it had everything I could possibly need. But over time, my workflow started changing. I moved more of my apps to my own server and began questioning whether I...

The $5 flash drive is still the most useful thing in my tech drawer, and no SSD changes that

In the past few years, several arguments have been made against flash drives. While the logic behind it holds true in most cases, flash drives aren't altogether obsolete, and they don't seem likely to be anytime soon. That's because flash drives have distinct advantages over other storage media like SSDs,...

My old laptop became a private AI a**istant for the whole house, and now I’m not paying for cloud subscriptions

Can Reddit fend off a new wave of AI SEO spam?

Earlier this year, a Reddit user had asked members of a skincare-focused subreddit if anyone had tried a specific hypochlorous acid spray, a product often used for acne. There were dozens of responses; one from a user named Primary-Taro4254 seemed innocuous enough, at least at first. "I haven't personally tried...

I turned my old phone into a device that does something my $300 smart home gadgets can’t

The hardware inside your phone has a lot more potential than you think. Even if it’s half a decade old, it has significantly more powerful hardware than an entry-level NAS or even a Raspberry Pi, which many of us use for home automation. I have already turned my phone into...

4 Samsung Galaxy apps that made me ditch Google’s alternatives

Even though I’ve mostly used Samsung phones whenever I’ve switched to Android, I'd always replace most of the preinstalled apps with Google's alternatives.
