Insta360 Go 2 vs. GoPro Hero 8 Black: Style, substance and everything else

Not long ago, GoPro made action cameras a thing. However, in recent years, a newcomer has entered the arena: Insta360. With multiple skateparks, a soccer ball and some help from the astral plane, I put the new Insta360 Go 2 and the GoPro Hero 8 Black to work. Hosted and produced by Nic Golden Henry…

    Give more work to this guy. No one on Cnet explains things better, much more respectful to our time.

    Where is the 360?

    • Nic Henry

      April 19, 2021 at 4:44 pm

      Insta360 is the company name but the Go 2 isn’t a 360 camera.

    It’s a good review while many people may know the entire performance of both in a huge number of reputations. Still kept in a good size that would cover what smartphones can’t.

    Go 2 is awesome,I use it every day.

    Thanks for your video! I am literally planning to buy an action cam for my next trip. That tiny Go cam is perfect for me using mobile to edit and share ????

    I actually really liked the Pro Video mode on my GO 2, allowing me to select FOV and aspect ratio AFTER filming, much more flexible than the standard video where you have to choose everything before shooting. *I mainly edit social videos on Insta360 App so the workflow is no different to me.

    • Nic Henry

      April 19, 2021 at 4:40 pm

      Nice! That makes sense. For me it’s just an added step that gets frustrating if I shoot a ton of stuff to use in a bigger project.

    insta 360 go 2 is a much better option for me. I sold my gopro after constant freezes and corrupted videos of my family trip. Now with go2 I am much more satisfied, and I love it’s horizon lock option and better stabilization

  19. Khalid Saed

    April 19, 2021 at 2:37 am

    Good insights. Looks like gopro got to run fast or Insta360 will give him a hard bite

  20. marty snyder

    April 19, 2021 at 3:52 am

    GO 2 is actually even better then the super buggy hero 9. And the fact that you are against added editing options in post like FOV in Pro tells me all I need to know about your photo skills. You should probablly just use your phone at all times lol

    • Nic Henry

      April 19, 2021 at 4:38 pm

      I don’t like that you *need* to use your phone/Insta360’s app to edit Pro Mode videos. But thanks for the kind words, Marty!

      April 19, 2021 at 4:44 pm

      @Nic Henry No worries lol. Like I said, point and shoot seems to be more your speed. If you become interested in photography, I might suggest Polaroid lol
