The Max Lens Mod focusses the wide angle of view onto a smaller area of the sensor. It's there when you need it, but it can be packed away when you don't. The Max Lens Mod acts as a bridge, and therefore gives the best of both worlds. On the other hand if the camera came with a Max Lens Mod style lens as standard a lot of the filming modes of the camera would be far too wide and excessively fisheyed in nature.
If this was done with the standard lens the field of view would end up being far too narrow for a lot of action camera purposes, such as POV mounting. In order to achieve an electronic horizon lock the sensor needs to be cropped, as illustrated in the diagrams below. Now why would it do this? The reason is simple. It is an ultra wide lens, which creates a slightly wider FOV from the standard lens, but rather than covering the entire sensor imaging area it focuses it on a 2.7K cropped area. The Max Lens Mod fits onto the bayonet style fitting of the HERO9's lens protector mounting, and replaces that piece of glass. However the abilities of the new mod are rather more nuanced on examination, and whether you will get good use out of it will depend entirely on what you enjoy filming the most.

It's an amazing ability, and the reason it is called the Max Lens Mod in the first place is a nod to the MAX 360 camera, which in HERO mode could do the same thing, albeit at 1080p resolution rather than the 2.7K of the HERO9 mod. If you watch the promos and read the blurb the primary selling point of the mod is the horizon lock, which lets the camera be moved into any horizontal orientation while keeping the horizon level totally locked off. The Max Lens Mod was in very high demand when it was first released, with the product still in such high demand that it is often out of stock. *The above video was taken during a lockdown, so travel was restricted.
