Insta360 One X2 – Many cameras in one
Sure, you can also film with your smartphone, but if you want to impress your viewers with surprising perspectives and tracking shots, you should get a 360-degree camera like the Insta360 One X2. With her two 180-degree lenses she films everything around her in a resolution of 5.7 K, the screwed-on 1.5 meter long selfie stick is automatically deducted from the picture. It then looks like the camera is floating like a drone around you. The free app and the software for Windows and Mac automatically combine the two 180-degree videos into one 360-degree recording. The desired viewing direction is then selected in post-processing. The One X2 is waterproof up to ten meters and is voice-controlled. The exposure time, ISO value and aperture can also be set manually using the built-in small screen. Very practical in difficult lighting conditions. Social platforms such as Facebook automatically recognize 360-degree photos so that other users can use the mouse to look around the picture. Certainly not a bargain at just under 500 euros. But it’s worth it for everyone who does like cool films from vacation want to bring back or post straight from the camera.
