I always shoot in Pro mode - you can use different viewing angles: qction, wide, linear (wide) - you can use horizon lock in linear - you can reframe a bit in post. Great little camera for first person perspective.
Yes it was so bad I was going to take mine back but after having it out on the road for a week or two.... A certain family member who will remain anonymous through the box out so now I'm stuck with it ..... The DJI action 2 to was most likely going to be
Great review of tips and true get a great image BUT the most frustrating thing with the Insta360 Go 2 is it has the WORST BATTERY LIFE ever 😡. You mention you set your PRO video on 10 mins. I don't do this as want longer clips but the life of the battery is terrible and is NOTHING like Insta360 advertises. I have also spent a lot of money on accessories - it does great for VERY SHORT under 1 or 2 minute nature or action shots but for anything travel related (car/scooter/motorbike) it is just too frustrating. I have had mine for a long time and have tried it in many situations and always the same frustration. Even my friends get frustrated with the poor performance of the battery and they are trying to get me to replace it with something else. Keep up the great tips on your channel.
Dang that is really frustrating! Outside of the charge case I get around 20 minutes which you're right is good for shorter clips but not so good for extended recordings.
@Nick Kendall my first time exploring with it was in a park in the Philippines, I shot 8 10-60 second clips - was amazing quality using many of the techniques/tricks shown on RUclips. Very impressive. But bought many accessories and using in car on road trip was terrible. Kept pulling over and recharging also when had attached to hood of car on Timelapse cannot view on cellphone. Tried on scooter tour last Friday mountains, waterfalls, hot springs, breakfast stop, back down to beach and only got partial shots of everything. Tried yesterday on scooter, March 14, beach side airport to a nice apartment that would be great for Foreigners and battery died part way there BUT got a great clip going through a Military Checkpoint using the magnetic chest medallion as it isn't s an obtrusive piece of equipment. Amping - take care. Greg PS: not giving up yet, today I ordered 2x 3300mah c-type mini batteries to clip into the travel attachment they sell. They always say don't use Ctype chords use the attachment that came with your device, but it's about 4 inches long and not conducive for using with the external USB Power attachment (outside if the original case) they sell. These small batteries with c-type connection offer 1.5 hours life, if the 2 I bought deliver that time combined I will be happy and not toss out the Insta360 Go 2. Fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah, you can offload the files the same way you would with any videos you might take on your phone camera. However the files downloaded via your phone may not be as high quality as if you used the desktop app.
Great tips. Question about the official LUT: I downloaded the zip file from the website, but which one do you use for the Go 2? It offers One-R, One-RS, One-x2, One-x, and Sphere.
@@NickKendall thank you very much for the quck response. Perfect... now i need to know how adverse is the cam in cold conditions. will it drain quickly?
the only thing sucks is that even in the customized buttons it choose its own settings like iso and shutter speed unless theres away to save your settings if there is let me know
I am the only one who can't download videos from camera to pc via original cable ??? windows doesn't react at all when i connect this and i couldn't find any info regarding this
I do not recommend it. The android app works worse every time they update it, before you could zoom in and out. When you ask questions they don't answer you or they delete your comments. The crack in the case will eventually come out like everyone else. The program for Windows they update it and it remains the same without any improvement. It's a waste of money.
Yes there are a lot of bad sides of this camera... it Overheats a lot, the app takes so long to upload videos... memory is also so limited that I prefer to consider this camera as a toy... not an Action Camera. Also the battery doesn't last more than 15min on Pro mode.

does this camera still facing overheating issue?
I’ve owned this camera for a week and yes it does
The lower resolution, the less heat will consume

YES !!! It Overheats so much I started dipping it in a glass of Water just to keep recording my Cooking videos 😅😅😅

Same for me...
knew all the tips except the first one where I can customize the camera buttons. Good thing to know! appreciate the video 👍
Great video and great content! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
After downloading to your phone, and deleting the data from the Go 2, is it possible to offload the data/files from your phone to a MacBook?
Yeah, you can offload the files the same way you would with any videos you might take on your phone camera. However the files downloaded via your phone may not be as high quality as if you used the desktop app.
Really nice tips, thanks!
Can you use LUTS in Insta360 phone app or Insta Studio?
Glad it was helpful! 😊 I don’t believe you can use luts in either, you have to apply them in editing software.
Is there a way to do shutter priority without having to connect it to a phone? I cannot find the option :(
Is there a specific export setting on how not to get grainy footage when you upload it on socials?
Great info… I take the easiest path though… vivid, straight to ipad or phone, and into Lumafusion.
can you transfer through the USB-C port on the Ipad Pro or does it have to be wireless?
Bro how to I changed my go 2 battery 😊
You can't change the GO 2 battery unfortunately! :/
Great tips. Question about the official LUT: I downloaded the zip file from the website, but which one do you use for the Go 2? It offers One-R, One-RS, One-x2, One-x, and Sphere.
I just tried them all until I found the one that looked right. From memory I think it was the One-X2 file that worked for me 😊
@@NickKendall awesome, thanks
I just bought Go 2 and in the Windows app, I can't change the aspect ratio, only in my smartphone. Any tips on that? Thanks!
Ever since the last update the quick buttons don't work. I have to manually go connect the camera and use the app to record.
Help please. I select pro mode but after checking my footage some clips are pro but some others are regular video.
hi thanks for the vid. Is the button from the cam actually being a button or rather more a digital button?
Great question, I had the same thought before I got one. It’s a physical button that has a gentle click when you press it!
@@NickKendall thank you very much for the quck response. Perfect... now i need to know how adverse is the cam in cold conditions. will it drain quickly?
@@dferrerll I haven't personally used it in really cold conditions, but if you watch Jesse Driftwood's review he uses it in the snow with no issues!
Nice video thanks!
No problem!
The lack for keyframing in Computer application really grinds my gear
the only thing sucks is that even in the customized buttons it choose its own settings like iso and shutter speed unless theres away to save your settings if there is let me know
Great tips. The log capability is surprising. I am very impressed by this image quality of the little camera.
Thanks Tom, It’s super impressive!
why doesn't anyone shoot in 50fps? whats the downside?? isn't it smoother footage? thanks
Its not hidden....it is in the user manual....
I am the only one who can't download videos from camera to pc via original cable ??? windows doesn't react at all when i connect this and i couldn't find any info regarding this
Hmm that's odd; have you tried a different USB cable?
@@NickKendall yep .but since it's usb shouldn't any cable work ? not mentioning gopro just works no problem...
