It must be said that Insta360 is also considered a creative imaging company. Starting with the 360° camera that was originally plugged into the phone, Insta360 has also undergone four or five generations of design changes.

Initially, the 360° camera from Insta360 was only attached to the “accessory” on the phone, lacking the ability to shoot alone.

Afterwards, Insta360 integrated the design elements of the motion camera into a 360° camera and designed the Insta360 One and Insta360 One X sports cameras that support 360° shooting.

These cameras also achieved stabilizer-level FlowState anti-shake in subsequent updates, improving shooting stability and allowing the 360° camera to participate in more hand-held and motion-creating productions.

Afterwards, Insta360 developed a fold-out design and used it to extend the usage scene on the Insta360 EVO, which is compatible with 360° video and 3D video and photo shooting.

Now, Insta360 has launched a sports camera Insta360 GO. This new machine is mainly for POV first-person visual shooting, and comes with a lot of wearing firmware at random, hoping to bring more new ideas to short video creation.

Camera that can be plugged into the headphone charging box

If you want to look at Insta360 GO from your design, it’s really the one that I’ve been exposed to, not the camera.

The body of the Insta360 GO is designed in a capsule shape with a transparent plexiglass package on the front. The front of the GO is very clean. Except for the Insta360 logo and the oversized wide-angle lens, there is only one status indicator hidden inside the body cover.

The charging box is also designed to be very clean. The shape and volume of the box are similar to those of the normal wireless headset charging box. There is only one Insta360 logo on the front of the box, the control buttons are on the back and one on the right.The charged microUSB interface, Lightning for connecting the phone, is placed on the bottom of the box.

Insta360 GO is shipped with a non-slip soft rubber to protect the prominent Lightning interface, which in turn allows the box to stand on the table. If you are connecting a tablet or PC with an Android phone or USB-C interface, you will need the included microUSB to USB-C cable.

Insta360 GO places the unique buttons and contacts for charging and data transfer on the bottom of the unit. A magnet is attached to the inside of the machine to allow the camera to be stably attached to the charging case and various brackets without a bayonet.

Know that Insta360 GO is based on the “fixed” design. If the buckle is fixed uniformly, it is difficult to achieve this mode like directly adsorbing on clothes. Moreover, the mechanical loss of the buckle during disassembly and installation is greater than that of magnetic attraction, so it is more reasonable for Insta360 to use magnetic design directly here.

Just, charging does not limit the orientation of the buckle, so there is no direction restriction when the Insta360 GO is placed in the charging box. Before the user puts in the camera, it is necessary to see if the position of the camera contact can correspond to the charging box. After the camera is placed, the indicator light has no charging boost.

One more point is that the protective cover of the charging box has a direct disassembly design. If the user does not care, there may be a problem that the protective cover is lost. If the Insta360 can be attached to the protective cover with a folded structure, it will be a lot of worry.

In addition to magnetism and contacts, there is no interface on the Insta360 GO.

Insta360 does not add a memory card slot to the body, but instead adds a storage chip directly inside the GO body, giving the machine a storage space of approximately 8GB. In the initial state of the hand, Insta360 GO has 3696 default size photos and 22-23 minutes of 1080P 25fps video.

For a camera that is primarily used on a special location, or a device dedicated to making short videos, the Insta360 GO storage space is also sufficient. In addition, the Insta360 GO application can help users transfer videos to their mobile phones, so that they are not afraid of used materials to occupy the space for a long time.

And, the more integrated body also has better bare metal waterproofing. However, the Insta360 GO retains metal contacts on the body, which also limits the bare metal waterproofing of the camera. However, if you are dealing with daily land shooting, IPX4 waterproofing is still sufficient.

The official demonstration also puts the Insta360 GO with the fixed bracket directly on the surfboard. In this state, the machine can also meet the waterproof requirements. The Insta360 GO has no problem for most shooting scenes.

In addition to the design approach, the biggest highlight of the Insta360 GO body is small and light.

Insta360 GO is only 18.3g, and the charging box is also 61.6g. The body is only as big as a finger. It is smaller than GoPro’s GoPro HERO Session without a screen. It is no problem if you put it directly into your mouth. Plug it into a small bag or pocket to get out.

Even if you want to match multiple fixed accessories, you can fill them all with one small bag. This is the biggest advantage of the Insta360 GO body design.

Fixed everywhere, you can shoot anywhere

Insta360 officially promoted Insta360 GO, the most important point is that “fixed everywhere.”

From hats, headscarves to clothes, from surfboards, glass windows to tea cup lids and straws, the Insta360 GO is able to shoot on these objects. To achieve this, the most important thing is to rely on the magnetic structure of the Insta360 GO and the accessories that come with it.

It must be said that the accessories of Insta360 GO are also very conscience. The fixed accessories used in the official promotion, this time the Insta360 is basically ready, no need to buy another.

Mainly, the Insta360 GO is equipped with a magnet disc with a lanyard. The official promotion of hanging the camera directly on the clothes is achieved by this disc.. The length of the disc can be adjusted to allow the user to fix it in the same position. After fixing it, the camera can be directly sucked up.

However, the magnet inside the disc limits the orientation of the camera. If the user wants to take the camera as it is officially advertised, it will take a little more adjustment.

Insta360 GO also comes with a clip with a magnet that can be clipped onto a hat or headscarf for first-person visual inspection. In addition, the clip can also be clipped on the bag belt to shoot at different angles.

In addition to the lanyard and the disc, the Insta360 can also have two 3M stickers.

There is a camera magnet. The user only needs to suck the Insta360 GO directly on it and then tear the back 3M adhesive protector. The Insta360 GO can be directly attached to the wall or glass. The mode is followed by a suction cup. The phone case is similar.

Another disc with 3M glue comes withA 1/4 screw, with a fixed structure with a spherical joint, helps the Insta360 GO to shoot at different angles.

Of course, you can also use this 1/4 screw to transfer to other conventional tripods, or transfer it to other GoPro’s mounting accessories via the 1/4 screw-GoPro Mount adapter. The gameplay is also ok.

But in fact, the Insta360 GO comes with a fixed accessory that can handle most situations. It is not necessary to transfer the Insta360 GO to a regular fixed device without having to view it through the camera screen. This is also a waste for Insta360 GO itself.

Real “POV” shooting

Before shooting, let’s take a look at the parameters.

Insta360 GO can shoot up to 2720×2720 25fps video and 3720×3720 photos, and can output 1080P 25fps video and 2560×2560, 2560×1440 and 1440×2560 photos through the control application.

Face support Hyperlapse motion delay, fixed delay, and 100fps slow motion shotTake a look at the common features of several sports cameras in this episode.

Insta360 officially enhanced the video editing capabilities of the built-in application. The software supports AI editing. Users can embed their own videos according to the templates provided in the application. The template will also remind you of the required video content before embedding the video. When the video is integrated, the app will perform a fixed form of automatic editing.

The shooting mode of Insta360 GO can be said to be a true “POV” shooting.

The Insta360 GO body supports Bluetooth 4.0, and only connects to the phone in Bluetooth mode in wireless mode. At this point, the mobile phone for Insta360 GO is actually a remote control that sends commands. Users can’t use the mobile phone to make a framing, and the composition of the shooting also needs to rely on experience to find out.

Although, Insta360 GO comes with a wide-angle lens, and there is a corresponding cropping function in the built-in application. But at the same time, the lens also hasLarge distortion, if you accidentally put people too close, or the composition shifts to the position of distortion, it will affect the usability of video material.

When the user takes a real shot, it is best to take a test shot. Adjusting the position and composition by taking a test shot, so that at least the actual composition will not cause the composition problem. After many familiares, I believe that you can also familiarize yourself with the framing features of Insta360 GO and use it more directly.

FlowState Anti-Shake is also the highlight of Insta360 GO.

Comparative in 1080P 25fps mode, Insta360 GThe anti-shake performance of O is also good. There is not much problem in dealing with the daily walking and up and down stairs. As long as the magnetic fixation is done before shooting, the Insta360 GO’s FlowState anti-shake function can still produce a stable picture.

Plus, Insta360 GO is dealing with a special position, it only needs to cope with short-time shooting, and of course there is no long-term anti-shake pressure. It is enough to have such a performance now.

If you look at the screen, the performance of Insta360 GO is similar to that of Insta360.

The effect of video straight out is also quite general. If you encounter this rainy weather, the performance of Insta360 GO is still a bit awkward. Moreover, Insta360 may also want to leave a little more processing space for the user, so there is no greater processing power in the texture of the straight out screen.

If you want to have a picture of a similar proof, look for a better weather, and then spend more time and thoughts on the post, it is still essential.

The most intimate sports camera novice bag?

In general, Insta360 GO has demonstrated enough creativity and closeness.

The price of $1,299 is officially equipped with the basic accessories that users need. With the new app that supports AI editing and template editing, Insta360 GO is also the most complete starter package for Insta360. . After the newcomer buys it, he can already enter the creation without spending more time.

Insta360 GO is a worthwhile choice for those who want to add a “special seat” to their Vlog, or add a bit of framing, composition, and mirroring when shooting short videos.

Although, Insta360 GO is the most innovative “newbie” for Insta360, but it still has certain entry thresholds and limits of use.

First, the Insta360 GO is positioned as a camera for short video and special-camera video. If you want to use it to record the Vlog requirements you take while walking, the 8GB of storage in the camera can be very laborious.

In addition, the fixed way of Insta360 GO can make you free your hands, but lacks screen framing, I believe some users will not get used to it.

Also, although AI editing can help beginners complete the work of video stitching, but to make the video really look good, users still have to focus on the late stage of the color and other pictures.

If you’ve done all the preparations and often have the opportunity and time to shoot short videos, then Insta360 GO is a worthwhile product.
