It would be impossible not to recognize a camera like Insta360’s One X. Vertically cut and with a camera on each side, this small 360 camera is capable of capturing everything around it, but the manufacturer wants more, and that is why it has presented the new ONE X2 . The news? They are as follows.
A camera for more than one dip
Now, yes. The Insta360 360-degree camera is finally aquatic, as it offers a rugged body with IPX8 certification with which it can be submerged up to 10 meters without a housing. This is the main palpable change, since aesthetically the camera is somewhat rougher and not as slim as the first generation, but it is still just as comfortable in the hand.
And of course, another great aesthetic change is its front screen. Now we can see a preview of everything that the camera captures, including its peculiar 360-degree view, since a circular screen will offer us a total perspective of the two cameras with which we can see exactly what we are recording.
Much more powerful technically
But if we really wanted major changes, for that we have to go to the technical specifications. For example, the battery, which is now of greater capacity, reaching 1,630 mAh with which to hold recording for 80 minutes. This increase in capacity is due to the use of a new large battery, which is perfectly protected with a cover with sealing gaskets to prevent the entry of water and dust.
In addition, this ONE X2 includes four microphones with which to obtain a sound recording without a dead angle, so that, when recording in 360 degrees, we have sound information from all angles. And, as if that were not enough, with the help of an algorithm, it is possible to reduce the wind or activate the ambisonic mode to obtain a total immersive experience.
Many modes for the best shot
The camera software will now offer a large number of recording modes with which to obtain incredible results depending on the scene. With the PureShot mode we will improve the dynamic range in low-light scenes, TimeShift will allow hyperlapse in 360 degrees and Steady Cam and even an intelligent mode controlled by artificial intelligence, will take care of finding the best angle, delivering videos reframed with the highlights of the scene.
Basically, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and the 360-degree coverage of the lenses will allow us to forget about the framing, and the camera will also be able to follow objects, people and animals thanks to the Deep Track algorithm.
How much?
This new Insta360 ONE X2 can be purchased from today through the manufacturer’s website with a price of 489.99 euros , being able to expand the selection with a large number of accessories available, such as a rubber protector for the lenses (quite useful ) or the famous cable Bullet Time for amazing slow-motion shots.
