Brand New GoPro MAX scratched lens [ New ]

[sigurdurv01807]

I just recieved my new GoPro MAX now and I noticed te other lens is scratced in a very strange circular pattern, I took picture of the GoPro before I opened it because I was so happy with my new purcase but I'm not happy about the scratched lens. I can even see te scratch when I look at the photo I took before unboxing. I request customer support call and they called me and asked me about my first and last name then hang up on me so I tried contacting the customer support live chat and waited a long time and then I was next in line and then it says "There are no agents available at the moment. Please check later."

You need to have at least a 12inch clearance around your camera in a "sphere" to eliminate stitch lines, in this case it looks like your camera is just sitting on a table without a stand about 3 inches away from a TV.

Also your screen shot seems to be from a low resolution preview (which will have stitch lines) rather than a high quality finished output (which is stitched together much better).

Photo before unboxing you can even see the scratches

simply ...customer returned devices ..... repacked ...and sent to new customer.....some of the gopro-staff has written in the last few days...they do not have items on stock......... so ..think about it...where does this device come from..

Hi @sigurdurv01807

Sorry if you are having trouble reaching out to Support.

Please try logging a new request.

Take note of the case number so we can follow up with the team.

As this is a recent purchase, you may also refer to the same store(if not from GoPro.com) where you got the camera from.

Thanks!
