Lens GoPro Max Lens Mod 2.0 HERO13 HERO12

The GoPro Max Lens Mod 2.0 for HERO13 and HERO12 expands the camera's optical capabilities to deliver ultra wide-angle, stabilized POV footage in up to 4K60. Designed as a modular lens accessory, it increases field of view compared to standard wide capture, supports vertical capture without rotating the camera, and integrates Max HyperSmooth stabilization and Horizon Lock for steady video even during full 360° rotations. The accessory is smaller and lighter than the previous generation, features a more scratch-resistant hydrophobic lens, and installs and removes without tools. The package includes the Max Lens Mod 2.0, protective caps, and a cleaning cloth.

Advantages

Max Lens Mod 2.0 offers a significantly wider field of view and advanced electronic stabilization to capture immersive POV footage with minimal distortion for most action scenarios. It supports 4K60 resolution with improved vertical capture, enhanced slow-motion capabilities up to 1080p120, and a lens surface engineered to resist scratches and repel water. The design emphasizes easy, tool-free mounting and reduced size and weight compared with the previous model, improving portability and on-camera balance.

Suitable for

• First-person POV filming for sports and outdoor activities
• Vlogging and vertical social media content capture
• Action sequences requiring stabilized 4K60 footage
• Time-lapse and TimeWarp footage with Horizon Lock
• Cinematic wide-angle shots where expanded field of view is desired

Key specifications

• Field of view: up to 177° (Max Super digital lens option)
• Maximum video resolution: 4K at 60 fps with Max digital lenses
• Vertical Capture: expands FOV up to 48% without rotating camera
• Stabilization: Max HyperSmooth with Horizon Lock (available for digital lenses)
• Slow motion: up to 1080p at 120 fps (up to 4x slo‑mo)
• Lens surface: hydrophobic coating and increased scratch resistance (2x vs prior model)
• Water resistance: waterproof to 16 ft / 5 m when installed on the camera (not recommended for underwater use due to image distortion)
• Design: tool-free installation and removal; smaller and lighter than previous Max Lens Mod

How to use

Attach the Max Lens Mod 2.0 to a compatible HERO13 or HERO12 camera using the tool-free mounting interface until it seats securely. Select the Max digital lens mode on the camera to access the ultra wide-angle capture and enable Max HyperSmooth and Horizon Lock from the camera settings as needed. For vertical social media formats, use Vertical Capture mode to increase FOV without rotating the camera. Use the included protective caps when the lens is not in use and clean the lens surface with the supplied cloth to maintain optical clarity.

Usage recommendations

Use Max HyperSmooth and Horizon Lock for high-motion activities to maintain level footage; avoid prolonged underwater use despite the accessory's water resistance due to potential image distortion. Store the lens with protective caps and wipe the hydrophobic surface gently after exposure to salt water or debris.
