- Look at all this room for activities.
You want a lot of room.
If you're gonna use an action camera,
cause you're going to do lots of activities wearing it.
Hey guys, welcome to Short Circuit.
I'm Riley Murdock.
And today we're looking at the Insta360 GO 2,
my go-to camera for doing basically anything.
Just kidding, I've never encountered it before.
It's an unboxing,
that's kind of the whole concept of this whole channel.
Why did you make me say that Jonah?
So as you can see,
one of them has already been unboxed
it's on my chest like Tony Stark.
I'm gonna be recording the whole thing
with this camera on my chest.
In case you were wondering, how is it levitating there?
I don't know.
I haven't unboxed it yet.
Okay, Insta360.
These guys have been making action cameras for a long time.
They were primarily known
for making 360 degree action cameras.
Thus the name Insta360.
However, this one it's more focused
on one point of view,
one direction you might say instead of two.
So it's still got that wide angle
that you want an action camera as far as I know
but it's super light,
it's like a size of your thumb
if you've got a big old thumb,
mine's not so big.
So you can take it anywhere.
Apparently you can mount it places.
You can stick it on under, upside down, inside out,
all the way through and under.
(making a light noise)
Okay. So yeah, it is super tiny.
I mean, like, I don't remember encountering
other action cameras that are this small of a form factor.
I mean like most of the time
when companies are making action cameras
it's kind of like that GoPro like square style form factor.
But this is like, it's really tiny.
And the big feature as you can see is this magnet
and that allows you to attach it
to the necklace that I'm wearing right now.
I have one of these under my clothes
docking complete.
So, we got up to 1440P and 50 FPS.
Interesting. Is this like a UK standard I guess.
that's not bad for an action camera.
It's not 4k
but like 1440 P is plenty sharp
as PC gamers will know.
Mount anywhere as I talked about the magnetic mount.
Hands-free, flow state stabilization
so I don't know what that is, but I'm assuming
that it's some sort of footage stabilization
which is always welcome.
Waterproof, nice that's good to see.
Auto editing, now I did see something about this.
Apparently there's like AI in the phone app, is that right?
That will like edit footage for you
and kind of like make it into like a slideshow
with music and stuff, not slideshow
but like will edit clips to music and whatnot.
Hyperlapse, which I love.
That's that whole thing where it's
like a time lapse, but you're moving.
I have to test that Jonah.
Slow motion, gonna have to do that
Part remote control, you know I love remotes
and Wi-Fi preview.
So I guess you can see the preview
of what's going on on the phone.
Speaking of which, we have an iPhone here
that we're gonna use for the app
because the app currently is only available on iOS.
But same day this thing releases apparently
is the same day that the Android version
is gonna come out as well.
So iOS and Android, whatever floats your boat.
So we've got the instructions here,
the button instructions
single press, double press, press for one second.
There's all sorts of instructions
that I will pay attention to
when I need them.
We got some paperwork work.
What is this?
Whoa, is this a big AirPods case?
They give you an extra case just to hold your AirPods.
Whoa, what is this?
Look at this.
It looks like that robot from Wally, his friend
(imitating robot's voice)
I'm guessing this is the mount, tripod.
And then you take the camera and you stick it in.
Boom. How easy was that?
Click to start
Oh, interesting. So it's not just a stand,
it's also got an integrated controls.
USB-C for charging.
What is that thing?
Oh, it's a screw mount.
So you can mount that to things.
I don't know what that is,
but I like the sound it makes.
Oh, is it charging?
Is this a battery too?
Yo that's cool(laughing).
Case firmware updating.
This thing's like a less high-tech clip mount, I guess.
So like if there was some sort of
if there was like a flat edge,
you could slide that on.
I don't have something to...
So then boom.
And now you're vlogging, dude.
Okay, last things in the box
we have a USB-A to USB-C cord
and oh okay, one more mount.
Man, they give you so many options here.
Pivot stand, there's instructions.
There's secret code I found a clue.
Clean the pivot stand with water
and dry before re-using.
Oh, we have to go to Washington DC.
Okay. So this is a sticky thing.
Say what, it's connected.
So I just like stopped recording.
And this has saving now.
You still control it
even when it's not connected.
It's got a wireless connection. That's cool.
It's a remote.
It's a stand and a remote and an AirPods case.
You could probably fit your AirPods in there.
Do you have your AirPods here?
Once again, you got three different options
for mounting your camera.
Like this could be on the side
of a helmet or a car or a hidden camera
if you want to pull a funny, funny prank, YouTube.
Okay, one thing I noticed
while I was thinking around here
was that there are multiple different modes available
cause if you press this button here,
it cycles through, you're on video
there's photo mode and then pro video.
If you want to have more control
of your edit shoot in pro video mode.
Pro video mode allows you to adjust your field of view
and aspect ratio in post.
It also unlocks horizon lock stabilization.
So we've got video, pro video mode.
Oh, we already talked about that.
Time shift, which is like Hyperlapse.
I think that's the one I'm gonna use.
And then we also have time-lapse
which is like a regular time lapse,
HDR video, I guess.
I didn't know that was here also.
And slow-mo and settings.
All right. That's enough.
I wanna try this thing out.
I wanna go running around and see.
It's an action camera.
We gotta do some action.
We gotta be active.
So I'm gonna do a Hyperlapse
because I'm a hyper kinda guy, all right.
Hyperlapse! Oh goodness!
(shouting in excitement)
Yeah Hyperlapse!
Oh, my goodness, oh!
It's a Hyperlapse!oh!
It's a Hyperlapse!
(breathing heavily)
Oh!
I'm out of shape.
Okay, I wanna see that clip
I just recorded.
It's better be good.
Whoa that's so(laughing)
I didn't know it was gonna be that fast.
Make some fun videos
and show them to your family at Christmas.
Nice, Last one I'm gonna try
is the 1080P, 120 slow motion.
(shouting in excitement)
Oh, don't.
No one likes to see it.
Oh no!
Oh, I'm scaring myself.
If you scare yourself
that's always a good a recommendation for something, right.
If you see yourself from a different angle
if a product makes you think
about what it means to be human,
that's something special.
So overall I'm pretty impressed with this thing.
I mean, I like how tiny it is.
I like how versatile it is.
And like the ability to kind of magnetically just swap
between different mounts that you might be using
for different situations.
Insta360 says that this,
as opposed to more kind of sports-oriented
like intense hardcore action cameras
this one's more for kind of the lifestyle people.
It's a less crazy in your face option
for someone who's like
I wanna record some stuff about my regular life.
I wanna go on a little trip with my family
and I'm just gonna stick it on my chest.
And I don't have to worry about like having a helmet
with the actual mount, like sticking out there.
And I kinda liked that as far as action cams go
it's a pretty nice also case looks like an AirPods case.
We never tested whether your AirPods fit in it.
Give me your AirPods, Andy.
Oh!
Doubles as an AirPods case.
Yes!
It's not gonna charge them
but you'll have some place to put them.
All right guys, that's it for this video.
Thanks for watching,
Don't forget to subscribe to Short Circuit
from our videos of presumably similar to this one, right?
You guys unboxed stuff here.
Oh, and if you're interested in the footage
that was being recorded
into my chest cavity that whole time,
there's gonna be a link in the description below
with like a BTS video of footage of that.
Check it out if you want to
see the same thing happening from that viewpoint.
(laughing)
Love you.
