Insta360 ONE X2 360 Degree Action Camera PRO Kit includes 64GB Micro SDHC Card + Case + Invisible Selfie Stick + Lens Cap

Product Information

The most significant is that the camera now has IPX8-rated waterproofing, which means you can take it underwater to 10 meters without needing a case. The Insta360 One X2 is a 5.7K camera, which sounds incredible, but that’s filming everything. Really –everything.

You can use the Insta360 One X2 as a webcam and also live stream to various services when the camera is connected to your phone. Live streaming is supported for Facebook, YouTube, Kwai Live, and RTMP. The Bluetooth pairing process between the camera and your smartphone is very easy once the app is installed. If you choose to control the camera from the camera’s own touchscreen, the icon-based menus are not too intuitive, so you’ll first need to memorize what shooting mode, feature or function each icon represents. You’ll also need to figure out how to access the various submenus by tapping or swiping on the right combination of the tiny directional arrows displayed along the outer edges of the touchscreen. Initially this is not too straightforward, but it’s something you get accustomed to once you’ve used the camera several times. You’ll need the optional Dive Case if you want to take the camera scuba diving and go to deeper underwater depths than 32 feet. It’ll allow you to go as deep as 147 feet and still capture stunning 360-degree video, traditional video or high-resolution photos. Personally I also carry around my Sony RX100 as a compact camera for times I need better resolution, zoom, or night shots. I have this article on regular cameras vs 360 cameras.

Sports & Hobbies

Both the Insta360 X3 and X2 have 5.7K resolution, allowing users to capture detailed images with vibrant colors. However, the X3 has higher active dynamic range than the X2, meaning it can capture more detail in dark areas of a scene while still preserving highlights. However at max resolution of regular video of 5.7K, they both shoot at 30 fps. Stabilization Capabilities: With 5.7K 360 degrees capture, the camera catches the action in every direction, so you don’t have to point while shooting. Just choose your favourite angle during your edit, or let ONE X2’s AI do it for you.

You’re able to use the webcam functionality of both the front and rear cameras simultaneously (which displays as a split screen when used with almost any conferencing platform), so everyone sitting around the conference table can be seen and heard using just one camera. In addition to serving as a webcam, the camera can be used for live streaming on most popular social media platforms. Insta360 X3 and X2 are two of the most popular cameras on the market today, thanks to their amazing software. Both can use the Insta360 app on your phone or tablet, as well as Insta360 Studio on your computer. Both offer high quality image and video capture, but they differ in price. The Insta360 X3 is more expensive than the X2, with a retail price only slightly more for the X3.

While the BBC world service and plenty of other pro teams use GoPros, they’re only just broadcast quality; technically the Insta360 isn’t really, but it’s still very, very good. Four microphones are also positioned on the camera with one just under each camera lens and the other two on the upper portion of each side panel. Insta360 has so far been very good at getting useful updates out, including the desktop and mobile apps. There's a bunch of other smaller upgrades on the Insta360 One X2. One is PureShot, which enhances the dynamic range of low-light photos while reducing noise and preserving detail (it goes up to ISO 3200). Another is that you can use Apple AirPods to record sound, though the Insta360 One X2 itself has a four-way microphone to record ambisonic 'surround' sound that befits 360º video. INSTA360 ONE X2 REVIEW: PERFORMANCE

One of the main things that helped set the Insta360 One X apart from its rivals was its polished app and user-friendly software.That continues to be the case on the One X2, although the addition of new editing features can make its 'Shot Lab' initially feel a little overwhelming. I’ve noticed no obvious or consistent difference in the video quality between the One X2 and the One R in 360 mode. The way I produce road test videos means it’s just me and the bike (or sometimes multiple bikes and riders), but no videographer to help me get the shots. That used to mean finding secure but interesting places to mount my GoPros, swapping them around repeatedly to ensure I got enough variety for the video.

Health & Fitness

So far, though, we'd say it looks similar to the One X in terms of quality, which is to be expected given that it appears to have an identical image sensor that shoots 5.7K video and 18Mp stills with a maximum bit-rate of 100Mbps. Achieve natural, high-dynamic-range shots in a tap. PureShot mode enhances the dynamic range of your low-light photos while reducing noise and preserving detail.

It can be a bit of a fiddle to pair in the first place, but make sure you follow the instructions online to update the camera’s firmware if necessary, then turn it on, then the remote. Reset the remote by pressing both buttons together than go to ‘Bluetooth remote’ in the settings on the camera without the app connected.Key Thought: The Insta360 X3 and X2 offer great value for money, but the choice between them depends on what is most important to you.
