Miniature size great camera features Insta360 GO

We All periodically videos. Someone uses for this purpose countless analogues GoPro, some prefer old fashioned video cameras, bloggers give pretentious buttercake, and some fairly simple smartphone. The other day there was one more device that is little known, but to talk about it is because it is devoid of many drawbacks of usual cameras. But, it does have its drawbacks.

What is Insta360 GO?

The Main drawback of even the smallest camera is the size. Usually they are more than what is convenient to carry, fixing on clothes. In the case of camera , this problem can be forgotten due to the magnets.

For convenience there is a special area that you can hang on the neck or fixed on the head. At the same time, you won't look like a schoolboy with a huge Nokia on the neck of the early noughties. The Playground is small, and the camera is attached with magnets. So you can wear and use. It turns out that simple attachment, the hang on the neck, you get the analogue of the breast holder GoPro, which not only that is large, so more and pulls you from all sides, turning it into a “Bundle of Staragora”.

In this case, the GoPro is fixed not even the jacket

Insta360 GO weighs only 20 grams, and its size slightly exceeds the size of the tracker Mi Band. Because of this it may be attached to the area, even through clothing. Just put her to the breast and you can make a video.

Just wonder will it attract questions from the customs officer who will check your package if you order a camera mail. On the one hand, it's simple , but at this size, it can be attributed to the means of covert surveillance. In this case, the buyer may have problems. The conversation will be quite strong and long lasting.

How it works Insta360 GO?

To operate the camera only need to press one button on its body. At the same time, it is located on the front panel, directly under the lens. That is, if the camera is hanging on a garment or headdress, to do so would be as simple as possible, do not even have to detach. It is important not to slap the lens located as close to the button.

There are several shooting modes. In addition to regular videos, you can take photos, Hyperlapse (a time-lapse in motion) and SlowMo (slow motion). At the same time, provides stabilization, water protection (ipx4) and the ability to rotate videos.

Insta360 GO Weight only 20 grams. Impressive!

Thanks to the mount, the camera can shoot video in the style of “first person”. You can even chat handles while driving on a roller coaster, showing . I ironically wrote. These videos do look nice.

Due to the stabilization that on the commercials looks very decent (who would doubt), these videos will look even more dynamic, and the photos will be less blurry.

Once videos are captured, they can be easily transferred to a smartphone using a special dongle. Also available a function to automatically create clips that fans will appreciate the Instagram. The rollers turn out a short but dynamic. That's what it takes, given the limitations of this social network.

Additional features Insta360 GO

In addition to shooting video and photos with the clothes, the camera can shoot Time Lapse with a mount that allows you to lock it into position. In the end, you get video, able to impress many with its simplicity and at the same time entertainment. Many had seen the footage as the sky quickly clouds or the sun literally falls below the horizon, but that doesn't make them less interesting. Anything different from normal shooting “here I am, but I'm there”, is of interest. This applies to the much delayed and highly accelerated videos and for shooting from unusual angles.

If you have any interesting video and you're ready to share them, you are welcome to . I'm sure everyone, and me personally, I would love to hear your suggestions.

Cons Insta360 GO

The First drawback, as usual, you can name the price. together with the whole set costs 242 USD. Not to say that the amount is very large on the background of the rest of modern electronics, but little, she is not. Insta360 GO is unlikely to be a tool in every-day tool for shooting video. This is a handy camera for shooting in moderately active video, and not everyone will be ready to pay for it.

The Second drawback is the limitation of the roller. One can only shoot videos at 30 or 60 seconds. After clicking record, it will be possible to shoot such a clip. On the other hand, rarely takes longer videos, but I want to have the opportunity.

the camera head also does not occupy much space.

The Third and perhaps last drawback is that the camera can fall off from the attachment. The latch is still more reliable. It latch be preferable for something more active than a walk in the mountains.

is it Worth buying the camera Insta360 GO?

Before recommending to buy a camera, I would suggest to weigh the pros and cons of such a decision and to see more examples of shooting on Insta360 GO. It is not so cheap, but the specialization it is relatively narrow.

But get this camera as a gift would be nice. Hence the second option of purchase. If you have someone you don't know what to get and you do not mind 242 USD option will be very good. You can even order the drawing of your pattern on the record button. This will make the camera more personal. I am sure that the person who received the gift will be pleased. In other cases, it is necessary to understand whether you need this camera.
