Hello, I'm T, an editorial staff member who normally works as a freelance video production designer.
Do you know anything about action cameras?
Unlike ordinary video cameras, this camera is designed to be small and lightweight, and can be attached to clothing, a hat, or a bicycle, making it possible to shoot from angles that are impossible with a handheld video camera.
I have used many different cameras in my work as a video producer, but the action camera I got this time is a gadget that really hits home for the first time in a while, so I would like to introduce it to you.
It's called "Insta360 GO 2"!
The world of action cameras is experiencing an unstoppable trend towards miniaturization!

As the name suggests, a mini action camera is much smaller than an ordinary video camera, and by attaching it to various locations, it can capture footage that was previously impossible to capture.
The history of GoPro began in 2005 with the release of the first GoPro HERO product, and since then, other manufacturers' small cameras have followed in GoPro's footsteps and expanded their market.
Users were attracted to the ability to shoot from angles that were difficult to achieve with regular handheld cameras, and this sparked a major movement in the video production industry.
Nowadays, they are frequently used in the programs we normally watch on TV, and the era of small action cameras, led by GoPro, has arrived, with a wide range of users from professionals to amateurs.
What is Insta360 GO 2?

So, how far will action cameras get smaller?
GoPro has become so small and lightweight that it is now also known as a "wearable camera," and a new video camera was released on March 3th of this year.
It's called ``Insta360 GO 2.''
It has a unique slim shape, weighs just 27g, and is about the size of your little finger.
This tiny camera is packed with features such as 4M waterproofing, image stabilization, slow motion, auto editing, and more!
As the name "GO 2" suggests, there is a predecessor model, but this model has evolved its shooting resolution from 1080p to 1440p.
I actually took a photo
I actually checked the image quality and image stabilization in a park near my house.
Personally, I find the image stabilization to be very effective, and the footage is so smooth it almost feels like a dolly shot.
In addition, the contrast between the sky and dark areas is quite consistent, and I was surprised at how this small sensor can achieve 1440p and still produce noiseless image quality in dark areas.
I got the impression that it was a little weak in terms of flare and that colors were a little washed out, but the performance is sufficient if it can produce such images with a sensor of this size.
This is very good. I didn't expect it to be this good.
After shooting, you can trim the angle of view to fit your social media profile.

After shooting, you can also trim the video to match each social media platform such as Twitter or Instagram, and it seems very modern as it has been designed with a variety of uses in mind, not just YouTube.
Equipped with AI for automatic editing function
Insta360 GO 2 allows for simple video editing within the camera.
Its unique feature is the "AI editing function." The camera finds the editing points and edits them automatically!
The method is very simple.

Step.1Install the dedicated app from the App Store or Android Store.
Step.2Connect the smartphone app and GO 2 wirelessly.
Step.3In the app, select "Create a Story" → "AI mode editing", then choose the length from "3.0s", "1.5s", or "4.5s".
That's it!
Once completed, it will be saved to your smartphone's camera roll.
By the way, if you want to edit your photos yourself rather than just using the automatic editing, the app has a variety of editing functions, so it would be a good idea to use that.
A minimalist charger that turns into a minimalist tripod and remote control!

This charger is extremely well made, and when you unfold it, it turns into a camera remote control and mini tripod!
This is a great idea!

Moreover, the other accessories are also very well made, including a pendant strap and a pivot arm camera base, which makes me want to have more fun with it.
Insta360 GO 2 domestic and international review videos
Many creators both in Japan and overseas have been uploading creative works using the Insta360 GO 2. We have included some easy-to-understand user review videos.
Twitter Review
What is the reaction of people on Twitter to the Insta360 GO 2?
Perhaps because it has only just been released, there isn't much useful information to be found on Twitter.
I think the number of reviewers will continue to increase in the future.

Insta360 GO 2 Summary
After using it, I felt that it could be used in a different way than a GoPro.
Wouldn't the Insta360 GO 2 be ideal for capturing everyday life more easily and simply?
I think this would be a great tool especially for YouTubers and Vloggers, the creators of the currently popular Vlogs.
That's all from the scene!
