Why does my GoPro Max video frame look like 4:3 instead of 16:9 when using the front camera or rear camera. Have it set on superview or wide, still same framing.

check your aspect ratio,
I did some different settings using 1080p and 1440. Went through narrow, linear and superwide. All 1440 were 4:3 and all 1080 were 16:9. I am a little disappointed that using a single camera limits the aspect ratio. I realize the camera is designed for 360 and that is probably GoPro's main interest and the single camera use was just an afterthought. Probably need to get a different model to be able to use the wide/superwide in UHD.

I do not own one, so I had to look for a vid shocked to find nothing even mentioned, not sure why gopro did that, I apologise but iwant to shoot 16:9 as well, asked a friend to look in to his camera to make a video see what he comes up with


Hey Fish,

Thanks for checking this out. I watched a couple different videos on hero mode with the Max, which is what I am dealing with. Nothing mentioned on any of them about aspect ratio in hero mode.
Let me know what your friend finds. I am going to call GoPro tech support.

Thanks again.

He just said it can do it, you may need to open the actual App up, can be located there, do not think he was willing to make that video and I totally hear ya . if I had the camera I be helping you out on the spot,

I am using the app to control the camera. But not finding any setting in either the app or the camera for 16:9 in 2K or 4K. On a chat right now with GoPro support.

If you want a 360 camera get eh Insta 360 One X3 by far the best if asked , or even get the Insta 360 One RS twin pack that comes both the camera and 360 gopros are good but there are better... just saying

No sweat my friend did not want to offer anymore info sorry for that
I already have the 360 Max. Just need a camera that will do 2k or 4k in 16:9. The Hero 11 will do that. Just picked one up from Best Buy. Thanks anyway.
