With great processing power come great recording resolutions.

The maximum recording bit-rate has also been improed. The Insta360 Pro2 can encode video up to 120Mbps per camera unit, where the preceding unit was limited to 40Mbps per camera unit. Additionally, while streaming, 8K recordings can be made concurrently. Previously, the Insta360 Pro was limited to 4K resolution recording while streaming. The already powerful built-in stabilization has been improved with the "FlowState" technology, and can be implemented in 3D recordings, by way of a 9-axis gyroscope that analyzes camera movement for compensation during stitching.



Wireless connectivity has been expanded on the Insta360 Pro2. Using the built-in Wi-Fi connection, the Insta 360 Pro2 can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet from up to 60' away. Up to 15' away, a 30-fps live preview can be monitored using the control app. For aerial enthusiasts and content producers who require more distance, the Insta360 Pro2 is compatible with the Farsight wirelss video transmission system. With Farsight, you can monitor and control the Insta360 Pro2 from almost two miles away using your smart device, PC, or Mac, connected to the Farsight receiver. The Insta360 Pro2 is also available in a kit with the Farsight system.

With the debut of the Insta360 Pro2, 360 video enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to. 8K recording in 3D and 2D is exciting, improved stabilization and wireless connectivity are welcome advancements, as well.
