Insta360 One R Twin Edition (CINAKGP/A)

The Insta360 One R Twin Edition adaptive action camera is a glimpse of what action camcorders will look like in the near future. It will be possible to put them into a single structure from separate modules in the manner of puzzles.

puzzle pieces

Actually, the main "chip" of the model lies in the modular design. It is assembled into a single whole from a stand in the face of a battery pack, a “cup” with electronic “brains” and a similar-sized cube with a lens (or several lenses in the case of layout for shooting circular panoramas). Paired with one "eye" we have a classic action camera with support for 4K video recording. The “two-eyed” configuration option provides a complete all-round view of the environment.

Brain module

The main module of the device carries a central processor, buttons, a built-in microphone, a microSD memory card slot and a 1.4-inch colour touch screen. The entire camera assembly is barely larger than the popular GoPro HERO 8 action camcorder. Even the boxed camera format is similar to that of the GoPro. Despite the modular assembly principle, Insta360 One R Twin Edition fully retained water protection in accordance with the high requirements of the IPX8 standard.

Control flexibility

The camera shoots panoramic video at a maximum resolution of 5760x2880 pixels at 30 fps. The FlowState stabilization system is on guard for the smoothness of the picture. You can control it by voice, by tapping on the touch screen, from a “linked” smartphone or directly from the “smart” Apple Watch. The only complaint about the model is the lack of built-in mounting fingers, which is why you will need to resort to the services of a special case to “land” the camera on the selfie stick platform. In general, Insta360 One R Twin Edition creates a positive impression, captivating by the high quality of video shooting and the extraordinary way of “building”.
