"Fits in the overhead bin - we’ve always used the branded backpack."
"fits in the overhead of an airbus A321 for Delta or American Airlines (flown with both, put it in the overhead with both)"
"They are all great cameras and the x2 is the least bulky of the three. ... Plus its way lighter and less noticeable when wearing. ... X2 and 3 are way lighter on the selfie stick so they're actually easier to ride with. ... That's one of the reasons I still use my X2 so often is it feels honestly half the weight of the X4."

"The insta360 acepro is king of the night dives. Especially if your gonna do any UV light shots or do the Turks and Caicos glow worms."
"Update 2: PureVideo mode 8K is the way to go for indoor medium to low light. Definitely low sharpness for every lighting level for me going forward."
"it absolutely destroys GoPro in low light. ... If you plan to record at night, Ace Pro/Ace Pro 2 is the way."

"I actually own the thing and it far exceeds my picture expectations for 4K quality on a 120" screen!"
"does full 3,840 x 2,160-pixe (4K)l at 120 frames per second with <20 ms lag. ... It literally is a gaming projector."
"the 4K 120 Hz refresh rate delivers excellent quality for fast paced open world gaming on a big screen."

"the ability to easily tilt it down is awesome. For instance, if I wanted to have a view of me playing guitar or keyboard, it's really easy to adjust to capture that."
"clips on easily"
"It clips to the monitor and tilts to keep you level with the camera."

"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("
"It’s a pain in the ass to have to set sonar as the primary source every time."
"STAY AWAY from anything DTS related‼️Especially drivers and DO NOT install DTS app - it will destroy any FPS gaming performance. ... I did the mistake couple days ago, thinking they fixed the driver/latency/distortion issues and ohh boy was I wrong! Tried everything to get rid of those, but eventually had to completely wipe out the system and start with fresh windows install."

"Insta 360 Link 2C does work; just not as a camera."
"The original Insta360 Link does not work either."
"I tried my Logitech Brio 4K and my Insta360 Link. Both showed up as “Camera connected” and “Now using USB Mic,” but neither shows as connected when you test them."
ad_noctem_media 1.0I have both the Elgato Facecam Pro and the Insta360 Link 2. I just got the Insta360 as a potential upgrade. My experience is that the Facecam Pro may be capable of a technically sharper image, but I could never get it to look as good. The auto balancing for exposure and color correction was terrible in my experience. After spending hours with it, I was able to get it to look good in one lighting setting. If that lighting changed, it would get horribly washed out and I'd have to do new manual settings. It's reviewed as a great camera, I just had a poor experience with it in practice. The Insta360 is just very slightly not as sharp (and is not capable of 4k60fps if that's important to you). But it's been a much friendlier camera for me. I still played with some settings and have some stuff on manual, but it's a lot more plug and play. The tracking is cool for keeping me centered in frame, and the ability to easily tilt it down is awesome. For instance, if I wanted to have a view of me playing guitar or keyboard, it's really easy to adjust to capture that. Also, unexpected bonus, the Insta360 is smaller and lighter than the Facecam Pro. I am a TERRIBLE leg bouncer. The Facecam had so much mass that it would subtly bounce with my leg, and nobody said anything about it until I moved to the new camera and the bouncing stopped lol. Also worth noting the Insta360 is a good bit cheaper than the Facecam Pro. I personally got good value and quality out of both cameras. Happy to DM you a YouTube link to one of my VODs before and after I made the camera change if it helps
I have the Insta360 Link 2 and it looks great, even better than my old Elgato Facecam Pro that I ended up selling.
Amksed 1.0Razer Kiyo Ultra Pro if you wanna spend the $$$ Insta360 Link 2 is probably the best webcam for the money and full of software features.

bios_assassin 1.0I'm currently using Insta360 Link 2. It's worth the price naman. Quality is great, especially with 4K. As for the low light, it handles well naman. Tho you would need some sort of front lighting pa rin for better quality. To answer some of your questions, 4K is not worth it sa streaming in my opinion. It just increases the sharpness/crispness ng feed pero not needed naman ang 4K. You can do 1080p30 nga eh. I wouldn't recommend a DSLR with cam link, kasi baka mas madali masira yung DSLR mo since laging nakataas yung mirror box nya. I would recommend the cam link if mirrorless yung gamit mo.
Error404Invalid 1.0Insta 360 Link 2 https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-link2 I used Logitech for years, upgraded to the Insta 360.
Iamthechallenger87 1.0OBSbot Meet 2 or the Insta360 Link 2. Both are around the same price, something like $120-130, and both look especially good for webcams. I would probably stay away from getting a mirrorless or dslr unless you plan on using it as something other than a dedicated streaming camera as well. I have an old a5100 that I use, but I bought it for photography first and just happen to use it as a stream camera. Even used on MPB, just the body for an a5100 is still $300 or so. Then you tack on a lens, capture card, etc. it starts to get real pricey to justify buying one exclusively for streaming unless you’re someone that draws in a ton of viewers.
KushNCompany 1.0the insta 360 ai/link 2 is dog meat. It’s constant software issues and have to fix things. I returned mine lol
mrmexican87 1.0I just upgraded my Logitech Brio to the Insta360 Link 2. Wish I hadn’t TBH I don’t like the tracking features as much as I thought. Camera quality of both is pretty phenomenal though.
It was the Logitech Brio 4k. Want to say one of the earliest versions. The Link 2 has amazing image quality I just don’t need the AI and tracking like I thought I might.
murathai 1.0maybe insta 360 link 2? It is cheaper than Insta 360, which I have and it's picture quality is great.
nyccameraman 1.0We are using Logitech Brio 4k and Insta360 Link-2. With proper lighting and decent microphones, these two are performing well for us.
Ok-Average154 1.0I use the Link 2 for Zoom meetings and it is great - except I have to keep altering the default resolution back to 4k from 720p after joining a Zoom meeting. This is the only setting that I need to alter. Not a game changer for most. But the rest is kept - mine is set to 1.2x zoom for example. There are also presets in the link controlling software to alter the position if required. The controlling software will automatically open, as this controls the camera - but once set (apart from the resolution above) you can just ignore. If happy with 720p you never need to look at the link controlling software. Note that my comments are for the Link as opposed to the link 2 - but can't see how it differs too much. I strongly recommend it.
