Insta360 One X2 review
If you already own the Insta360 One X or One R, the One X2 is probably too minor an upgrade to warrant the cost. The image quality isn’t any great leap forward and while the battery life, waterproofing and onboard screen are all welcome improvements, none of them are transformational to the tune of £400-odd extra being shelled out. For new buyers, though, the One X2’s tweaks make it the 360 cam to beat. If you can learn to live with the mobile app’s frustrating crashes and quirks (which will hopefully be ironed out by an update very soon), it works well and is fun to use – and the camera hardware itself is lightweight, pocket-sized and tough. For creating quick, eye-catching clips for social media, the One X2 has all the angles covered.
Waterproof, compact build; Excellent camera tricks and stabilisation; Solid desktop editing app;
Shonky mobile app; Not a huge leap above original One X;
