It's worth bearing in mind that the maximum video resolution in this mode is 2560x1440 at 50p, so it doesn't trouble the likes of the GoPro Hero 9 Black or Insta360 One R when used as a traditional action cam. One of the new modes that's exclusive to the One X2 is 'Steady Cam Mode', which effectively lets you use choose one of the two lenses and use the camera as a standard action cam. Some of these features are coming to the One X via an app update, while others are only possible on the One X2. Unfortunately you can't use this screen while using the companion app, but it's handy for quickly starting a video without fishing your phone out of your pocket.īeyond this, a lot of the One X2's additional functionality, compared to the One X, comes from its companion app. Still, the inclusion of a color touchscreen LCD on the front of the One X2 certainly makes choosing your shooting mode much easier than before – tap the video icon and you can choose between standard, HDR, timelapse, timeshift and bullet time modes. One of the main things that helped set the Insta360 One X apart from its rivals was its polished app and user-friendly software. That continues to be the case on the One X2, although the addition of new editing features can make its 'Shot Lab' initially feel a little overwhelming.

Combine this with the protruding lenses, and you have a camera that still feels like it needs to be looked after and treated with care.

The locked doors on the side for the battery and, in particular, the USB-C port, feel slightly vulnerable to being locked out of place. That said, the One X2 still doesn't feel like a camera that you could throw around or dunk in the sea with carefree abandon. This was one of our biggest gripes with the Insta360 One X, particularly as it's something offered by the GoPro Max, so we're pleased to see it's been added. The most significant is that the camera now has IPX8-rated waterproofing, which means you can take it underwater to 10 meters without needing a case. The Insta360 One X2 might look remarkably like its predecessor from 2018, but there have been a few important tweaks. Four microphones on board for stereo or 'ambisonic' sound.Comes with a larger battery for 80 minutes of video per charge.This model also brings a few notable advantages over its predecessor. That launch price for the One X2 is slightly higher than its predecessor's original asking price of $399.99 / £409.95 back in 2018, though that increase is no higher than the rate of inflation since then.
