Insta360 GO 2 review - in-depth | vs GoPro Hero 9 | Test footage | Mic tests
The Insta360 GO 2 action camera weights 27 gram and is smaller than my thumb but can still record up to 2.5K and with impressive image stabilisation: https://store.insta360.com/product/go_2?insrc=INRT7JX
It’s waterproof, has a replaceable lens cover and charges in what looks like a large AirPods Pro case that can also control the camera remotely.
Despite the company’s name this camera does not shoot 360 degree footage - it has a single ultra-wide lens. It’s a successor to the GO 1 but it’s much more of a fully fledged action camera and has some interesting features that even trump the relatively large and heavy GoPro Hero 9. But it’s also had a price hike to £295 or $300.
I’ve tested it thoroughly, comparing it to the GoPro Hero 9, mountain and road biking, running and for general use out and about with the family.
Could this be the perfect everyday action camera?
