Insta360 Go 2: The tiny, fun camera that made me crazy

Insta360 makes some of the most fun cameras out there. With weird accessories and an app that really inspires you to try new things, Insta360 really does a lot to stand out. The new Go 2 delivers on what Insta360 does best, but also brings a ton of quirks with it. So many quirks, in fact, that it might’ve actually broken my brain and sent a part of me soaring to the astral plane. It’s also tiny. Like, really tiny.

    Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any Qs about the Go 2 or better yet tell me about the time you visited the astral plane.

      Project idea: strip off the extra stuff on the GoPro Hero 8, make a custom pcb to work with the camera module and connect it to like a very small display, say about the size that’s on the insta 360 go 2’s case and have that display do the controls and put all this in like a body that’s a little bigger than the insta 360 go 2, it will have far better image quality. It would be a great vid if you could make it happen!!

    This product has a major flaw: It’s charging case does not charge with an USB-C to USB-C cable, as other reviewers have pointed out.

    The reason for that is an inproper USB-C implementation, it is missing two resistors wich are needed for any USB-C charger to detect it as a power sink.

    Inexusable design flaw on a product this expensive.

    I like how bystanders think it’s just some air pods untill you bust it out of the case and start abusing everybody.

    Too expensive but the biggest drawback – limited to 32gb storage…

    $300 for another fish eyed sea sick action camera? Nope.

    I assume we’ve reached a stage after years where a size of device won’t sacrifice its visual quality and even battery life.

    I know you’re sad without social interaction but please bring your energy up in front of camera bruh, you sound like you are being forced to make this review video (and you hate that).

    I saw Hardcore Henry and think THAT’S how a DOOM movie should be made!

  26. Danie Bello

    March 11, 2021 at 1:20 am

    It’s biggest downside is 30 minutes, that should be their only focus for a 2.0 I’d buy this product if it had more battery life cause it seems awesome as hell otherwise.

    Which way is the sensor oriented horizontally?
    When the camera is horizontal in the head mount, or when it’s sitting in its tripod??
    (Perhaps this is the reason that this camera is limited to 1440p)

    Awesome review, thank you. Love the idea of the form factor and accessories but I’ll prob end up with an x2 instead.

    • Nic Henry
