S thrills to shoot videos, lowering.
Insta360 has released the ultra -small action cam "INSTA360 GO2".I borrowed it before the release, but I wanted to take a video but it was really nice to think that it would be troublesome to carry a video.
Case of one or three roles on a very small camera
The body of INSTA360 GO2 looks like this.It's about the size of the thumb and it's small anyway.
The bottom of the lens is a button, and if you press it once, start / stop the video, and press it twice to take a picture.It can be said that it is simple, and it can be said that it is a camera that is difficult to set in detail on site (detailed shooting settings can be done in the app or in the menu operation).
The video that can be taken is like this.The lens is a wide -angle, and you can take a picture of the action cam with image stabilization.I think there are many people who are worried about the image quality, so I will introduce it later.
And this is the wonderful case.The size is a little larger than the case of Apple's complete wireless earphone "AirPods Pro", it can be in the jeans pocket, and it will not get in the way even if you put it in your bag.The weight is 26 on the main unit.5g, the case is 63.5g, about 100g in total.
And one role.First, it also serves as an external battery and charger, and is charged when the main unit is inserted.The connector is of course the USB-C and the gadget world.
It can be used as a tripod like this.If you put it in a case and throw it in your bag, you can record a meeting that suddenly talks about important stories from the middle.Power is supplied to the main unit from the case battery, and long -term shooting is possible.
It also becomes a dedicated grip.When you encounter a good scenery on the go, it is super convenient to be able to take it out a little.
One of the uses is to hang the magnetic pendant from the neck and stick the INSTA360 GO2 body over the shirt.If you wear a magnetic pendant when you go out, you can always shoot INSTA360 GO2 to your body.
The great thing about Insta360 GO2 is that you can take three types of shooting, such as taking a tripod on a tripod / wearing a grip while walking, wearing it and moving while moving it.If you have it, you can shoot in an appropriate way, even if you suddenly meet the situation of "I want to take a picture!"
By the way, the main unit also comes with a clip that can be fixed to the brim of the cap and a stand that can be bonded to a plane.You can take a wide range of shooting.
The image quality depends on your preference
Regarding the image quality, it is a way to summarize, "If you look at your smartphone, you can take enough pictures" and "Handshine correction will work firmly", but personally, is the picture so good because of this size and ease of shooting?"Was the impression.If you look at it on your smartphone, you can drop it on SNS, and if you can take a picture of a rogue that sometimes look back later, there will be quite a lot of use.
However, the image quality is an important factor in the camera, so I will introduce it in detail.It's pretty fine, so if you're worried only by looking at the examples, read the explanation.
First of all, like this video, I thought it was a good feeling in the daytime and sunny weather.Although it should be crushed with a smartphone, the details are also described in front of the camera (near the camera).With this video, the texture of the road surface may be felt to some extent.
It is also good that the video is hardly shaking despite being riding a chari.It is the advantage of smartphones that image stabilization works.If you take a picture while traveling with a smartphone, you will generally need a larger gimbal than Insta360 GO2.It is easier to take the INSTA360 GO2 and take it there.He / she will take it horizontally.
For comparison, I will also post a similar video taken during the day and sunny days at GoPro Hero8.By the way, INSTA360 GO2 and GoPro Hero8 have 1/2 sensor size.The same is true for 3 inches.
The most different difference was the color, and the INSTA360 GO2 is an impression overall compared to GOPRO.The bluishness of the sky is more modest than GoPro, but GOPRO is exaggerated and close to the naked eye is Insta360 GO2 (although it is also plain).
The difference in resolution (GoPro is 4K → Up to YouTube as it is, INSTA360 GO2 is 2560 x 1440 exported → down convert to FHD on YouTube), but you can see that it is a PC.
INSTA360 GO2 is a prerequisite image quality you can see on your smartphone.If you are particular, you will not be in the options.
I think I'm not good at dark and dark and dark differences.This was taken on a cloudy day, but the leaves of the left trees on the left are crushed.The depiction of the border between the sky and the trees that appear in the second half is suspicious.It is better to take care of the light amount and the direction in which light comes in.
I took a picture in an arcade town with a streetlight or neon, but because of the light, especially those who are walking in the front are quite tight.To be honest, I think it's really hard to be able to shoot this size.On the other hand, the highlights are easy to fly, and the light and dark difference is not good.I wonder if the flare is easy to enter.
In addition, this time, we have a video taken normally, but it is also possible to shoot with HDR, time lapse, hyperlapse, and slow motion.
You can also "keep turning", but I'm not good at it
Let's mention the shooting time.The maximum shooting time is 30 minutes for the main unit alone, but if you want to maintain the quality of the video, it is better to separate the shooting in 10 minutes.This is because the stage of image stabilization changes according to the shooting time (in short, the image quality drops when taken for a long time).It is possible to shoot at a stage that combines the image quality and image stabilization (FLOWSTATE) up to 10 minutes, and if you shoot in 30 minutes, the surrounding area will be cropped for electronic hand index correction and the resolution will decrease (this time, this time.All examples are taken with Flowstate).
Basically, it is a short movie maker that repeatedly starts shooting / shooting.
An action cam with a low threshold, where you can find "what you want to shoot with a video" is found
I have a habit, but personally it's pretty good.
Before I leave the house, I don't really think "I want to take a video!", But when I go out, I often meet the scene of "Oh, I wanted to take this video ...".So, I felt sad, saying, "I don't have a camera ..." "I have a camera but there is no gimbal ..."
In order to avoid this, you have to bring a video equipment ... even a grip for action cam has a reasonable length.It doesn't happen without having a bag.If you are preparing to take a video, your luggage will increase, and the threshold of going out will inevitably go up.
INSTA360 GO2 will eliminate this area wonderfully.Anyway, it can be shot by installing both a tripod or a grip with a pocket size.If you put a light magnetic necklace on your neck, you can take it as a wearable camera and flexible.If you take it out and look at it, you'll shoot quite a bit.If you can shoot as you want, you can still be satisfied, and you will notice that "Oh, I want to shoot this kind of video."It was a very suitable camera for me.
In that sense, it may be compatible with someone who wants to take a video for the time being!The price is 36,300 yen including tax, and the threshold is low.Should I buy one for myself?
