You know Insta360, the brand that makes all those whizz-bang action cameras? It’s also in the webcam business, and recently launched two 4K models that might help your video calls look nicer.
Included in the latest Insta360 webcam range are the Link 2 Pro and Link 2C Pro, both of which are aimed at business types and content creators alike. They’re definitely on the higher end of the scale, with the Link 2 Pro costing $439.99, and the 2C Pro priced at $349.99 in Australia.
According to Insta360, what makes these peripherals stand out is that they’re “AI webcams”. In real terms, they use various AI technologies to improve picture quality, automatically track your face, and intelligently focus on in-person visuals, like whiteboards. Four different audio modes also help block out, or let in, background sound, including a “Focus” setting that isolates a single speaker’s voice.
Insta360 also advertised the webcams as integrating with “InSight”, the brand’s AI software that acts as a meeting assistant. It records meetings, and then transcribes and summarises conversations for future reference.
But software isn’t the only thing these cameras have going for them. Both have a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, helping to capture more light, even in dim rooms. They each support HDR and 4K recording at up to 30fps. A magnetic mount ships with both cameras to place them on top of monitors or anything metallic.
Gimbal functionality is the main separator between the two models. Of the webcams, the Insta360 Link 2 Pro has a two-axis gimbal, capable of physically tracking your movements. While the 2C doesn’t have a gimbal, it can still track subjects to an extent via digital zoom.
Both webcams are available in Australia from the Insta360 website. A gimbal webcam may seem niche, but it could be handy for teachers and presenters. Or for folks who just can’t sit still.
