This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Insta360.
The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
Everything is covered by a standard 1-year warranty.
This compact packaging won’t shock you with its contents, as you don’t even get a travel case to store the Insta360 Link 2.
But also costs $100 more.
This design is also practical, though.
Now, onto image quality.
The Insta360 Link 2 boasts a sizeable 1/2-inch 4K sensor with a wide F1.8 aperture.
Tracking is smooth and accurate, although it’s not without its issues (more on that later).
It’s clean, smooth, and incredibly simple to use.
This 4K sensor provides great overall image quality, even in less-than-perfect lighting.
I have to admit, the Link 2’s mic surprised me.
Namely, the Link 2 webcam suffers from a number of inconsistencies.
The Link 2 isn’t the most generous when it comes to added luxuries or features, though.
The camera doesn’t favor me, but the Insta360 Link Controller is a great app with a decent number of features.
There is no IR sensor for Windows Hello facial recognition, for example.
If that’s your budget, you’re looking in the right place.
It costing a full $100 less than its predecessor did at launch is just icing on the cake.
Even after a couple of firmware updates, the tracking is still erratic on the Link 2.
Its image quality is impressive and its 2-axis gimbal tracking is a genuinely useful feature.
Even with its inconsistencies, this is an excellent webcam for anyone who desires quality and convenience in one svelte package.
