The XTU S7 Pro Max suits budget buyers who cycle or walk, despite no waterproofing and a slow record start.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about XTU S7 Pro Max

  • 200 min battery life covers a long ride.
  • Horizon levelling keeps the picture straight through a full turn.
  • 50 MP photos come from a 1/1.28 inch sensor.
  • Fast charging cuts downtime between rides.
  • Log profiles give you more room to adjust colour when editing.
  • At 134 g it is light enough for a helmet or handlebar.

What customers don't like about XTU S7 Pro Max

  • The body is not waterproof, so rain needs a separate case.
  • Wind noise is loud without a windshield.
  • A four-second delay before recording starts can cost you a moment.
  • The waterproof case, microphone and cage are sold separately.
  • Slow motion tops out at 60 fps, so fast action looks less smooth.

Verdict

A 200 min battery is the first thing you notice about the XTU S7 Pro Max, a light action camera with a 1/1.28 inch sensor. At 134 g it is easy to carry, and horizon levelling keeps the picture straight when you turn. Stabilisation keeps bumpy rides steady, and night footage looks clearly better. Fast charging helps when the battery runs low between rides. The trade-off is weather: the body is not waterproof, so it needs a case in rain. Wind noise is loud without a windshield, and there is a four-second wait before recording starts. The 2.29 inch touchscreen is easy to operate. It suits a cyclist or motorcyclist who rides in dry weather and wants a long battery in a small body.
