Insta360 Pro 2 8K 360 VR Camera With FarSight in More Detail
Rock Steady stabilisation
The Pro 2 features Insta360's revolutionary FlowState stabilisation, which sets a new standard in professional VR. Traditionally, VR creators faced a dilemma: risk audience discomfort with shaky footage or contend with bulky stabilising gear. FlowState eliminates this, delivering gimbal-level stabilisation effortlessly. With precise gyroscope tracking across nine axes and innovative software, filmmakers can now capture dynamic, immersive VR shots effortlessly, unlocking a new realm of storytelling possibilities.
Remote monitoring and control
In the realm of VR creation, directing shots poses a significant challenge - How do you guide a scene when you're not physically present on set? Traditional solutions like Wi-Fi monitoring often fall short due to reliability issues, limited range, and susceptibility to delays and interference.
Enter the Pro 2, which is equipped with cutting-edge Farsight technology, a 360° live monitoring system revolutionising long-distance previewing. Offering a high-definition, low-latency video stream, Farsight enables seamless scene direction from afar.
With a transmitter and receiver, creators gain effortless control over their shots from distances of approximately 300 meters. Operating at 5.18GHz, Farsight employs intelligent channel switching to ensure uninterrupted communication amidst competing signals.
Seamless integration with Adobe Premiere Pro
The Insta Pro 2 camera streamlines the editing process with its integrated Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, eliminating the need for traditional stitching. After capturing a video, the Pro 2 automatically generates a low-resolution proxy version alongside the full-quality footage.
Creators can simply import their footage directly into Adobe Premiere Pro, where the proxy files are instantly recognised and stitched for previewing the final project. These proxy versions facilitate editing as you would with standard video. When it's time to export, Insta360's algorithm seamlessly stitches together only the footage used in the final project at full quality, saving time, processing power, and effort.
Portable and versatile
The Pro 2 weighs in at a handy 1.55kg including the battery, memory cards and antennae, making it easy to carry on remote shoots or send up on a professional drone, and its hot-swap battery dock ensures that it stays powered-up out in the field.
It sports four built-in mics for 360 audio, plus a pair of USB and 3.5 mm audio inputs on its top and bottom – allowing creators to add a custom audio setup or other add-ons as their shoots demand.
Six MicroSD card slots, one per each camera, allow the Pro 2 to record at the maximum possible bitrate, ensuring optimal image quality and post-production flexibility. A seventh Full SD card captures stabilisation data and low-res proxy files optimised for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
