Any camera, anywhere

360° Camera: GoPro MAX

The GoPro MAX is our recommended consumer-grade 360° camera. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive camera with high image quality, and built-in GPS, this is it.

With a 360 camera you can capture in every direction at once and mount it on your car, bicycle, or on a stick for walking.

GoPro MAX images and video are natively supported by the Mapillary Desktop Uploader and Command Line Tools.

Dash Cam: BlackVue 900 Series

Dashcameras with built-in GPS are excellent for Mapillary use as they are designed for extended capture and are relatively inexpensive.

The BlackVue 4K models have excellent image quality, but many dashcams will work with drag and drop upload in the Mapillary Desktop Uploader, see our full list of tested dashcams and cameras.

Action Cam: GoPro HERO 13

Action cameras are rugged, compact, and typically feature excellent image stabilization.

We like the GoPro HERO 13 for its built-in GPS (which the HERO 12 is unfortunately missing), though if you're purchasing primarily for Mapillary use, we recommend the omnidirectional 360 degree GoPro MAX (above).

Mapillary Mobile Apps

Sometimes the best camera is the one that's already in your pocket. You can capture, upload, and explore Mapillary imagery with the Mapillary mobile app on Android and iOS.

For bonus points, enable wide angle mode and pair it with this inexpensive car mount (or read our other mount recommendations).
