With that context in mind, let's take a look at the Insta360 Pro 2. CrystalView (allows high quality playback of 8K video on phones or VR headsets with less than 8K resolution).FlowState Optical Flow Stabilization (with SGO Mistika VR support).FarSight Technology (for long-distance live monitoring).Download links to CrystalView-encoded files will be provided below each image or video. It's available for Apple iOS, Android, Samsung Gear VR, or Oculus Go. To do so, you'll need the Insta360 Moment app, which includes the CrystalView 8K Player (described below).
First, professional cameras shoot stereoscopic (3D) images second, the sensors used in these cameras produce higher quality images, both because of sensor size and simply the additional pixels from multiple cameras third, you have much more control over the image parametersĮditor's note: To fully appreciate the output from this camera, we recommend downloading video files to view on your own mobile device or head-mounted-device. There are some big differences between the consumer models and a professional 360 camera like the Pro 2. While many will be familiar with consumer-level 360 cameras such as the GoPro Fusion, Rylo Camera, or even Insta360's own Insta360 One X, it's important to understand that, while great for vloggers, casual 360 shooters, or social media sharing, they're not designed for professional use – especially for viewing with VR headsets, or HMDs (Head-Mounted Devices). That's why I was so excited to test the company's newest professional model, the Insta360 Pro 2, which retails for $4,999.
So much so that Insta360 is one of a handful of manufacturers Google has worked with directly and entrusted for their Street View programs. Over the course of just a couple years, Insta360 went from being a virtually unknown brand to an industry favorite for 360 cameras. Every now and again a company comes along and, well, just gets it right.
