Insta360

Insta360 has launched an AI-powered 4K webcam called the Link that's been designed for the hybrid workforce or streaming content creators, particularly those who find it difficult to stay in one place during Zoom calls."Developing Insta360 Link was a natural evolution of our mission to help people share their lives," said company founder, JK Liu. "With the pandemic shifting work to our homes at an unprecedented rate, we saw the opportunity to help people ‘work from home’ better with our expertise in AI image processing.…

One of the biggest trends in webcams is software that automatically keeps you in frame as you move around. Apple popularized it on the iPad and Studio Display with its Center Stage feature, and even buzzy upstarts like Opal provide it as an option on its dedicated webcams. But this approach has always been compromised — in order to make these software solutions work, they require cropping the image aggressively and produce a noticeably worse image than when the feature is disabled. That’s where Insta360’s new Link…

If you're familiar with the action camera market, then you've most likely heard of Insta360, a popular maker of action and 360-degree cameras. Although not as well-known as GoPro in India, the company hopes to change this now that it has an official presence in the country. Today we'll be testing the Insta360 Go 2, which is the second-generation model of the company's smallest action camera.The size reminds me a lot of the now-discontinued GoPro Hero Session series of tiny action cameras. However, the Go 2 has some unique…

In 2020, Insta360 began betting big on modular cameras. Instead of replacing its entire system with each product cycle, the company started making cameras that allowed owners to upgrade a single part of the camera they already have. So even though Insta360’s latest camera, the One RS 1-inch 360 Edition, looks wildly different than its predecessor, the One RS, it is built on the same processor and software Insta360 customers already own and know. It’s an incredibly smart approach, but it relies heavily on each…

Insta360 has announced a powerful new addition to the One RS modular actioncam system launched back in March. The 1-Inch 360 Edition shoots immersive 6K video and is the first 360-degree camera to be co-engineered with Leica."The 1-Inch 360 Edition represents Insta360’s continued mission to make One RS the most comprehensive and versatile camera on the market," said company founder, JK Liu. "This latest edition turns One RS into a powerful 6K camera capable of impressive performance even in low light."The camera is aimed…

There aren't many options when it comes to consumer 360 cameras these days, so when Insta360 launched its more powerful One RS modular camera back in March, I was a little disappointed with its 5.7K "360 Lens" option — basically on par with the Sphere, One X2, One R and the One X. Don't get me wrong, they all do well for their form factors (not to mention the computational improvements), but after three years or so, it's about time for a major upgrade. As it turns out, Insta360 was saving its "one more thing" for today: a…
