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. FlowState image stabilization remains impressive.Huge range of shooting modes can be initially overwhelming.New shooting modes including MultiView and InstaPano.After all, real people can still see you're holding a long selfie stick, and it can get in the way in certain situations. Still, it's probably not something you'll want to hold for a long time during your travels either. This creates the effect that the camera is hovering around you (particularly if you make sure the arm holding the stick is looking fairly natural), and it remains an impressive, vlogging-friendly effect.
The benefit of using Insta360's stick, though, is that it's nicely optimized for the camera's software, which does a reliably good job of removing it from your videos. On the base of the One X2 you'll find a standard tripod mount, which screws into accessories like the (optional) Invisible Selfie Stick or any other accessory you have with a 1/4-inch screw.
Fortunately, there's a large button on the front to start and stop recordings. The size does inevitably mean that you'll often need to press two or three times to choose the right menu item, though, and it's not particularly glove-friendly. This screen is certainly a handy way to frame your shots and is pretty responsive to swipes and touches. In the absence of a rear screen, this is touch-sensitive and acts as both your viewfinder and mode selector. Inside you get a removable 1,630mAh cell, which promises to keep shooting for around 80 minutes of video (up from the 60 minutes of its predecessor).įollowing the lead of recent action cameras like the DJI Osmo Action and GoPro Hero 9 Black, there's also now a color LCD on the front of the One X2.
The One X2 is slightly larger than its predecessor, but this is barely noticeable and the main benefit is that it has room for a larger battery. 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.
