It’s hard to believe that it’s taken this long for a company to invent a webcam like the Insta360 Link. However, my features became a bit washed out when I did this. It can capture video at resolutions of up to 4K/60 fps, though HDR only works at resolutions of 1080p and 720p.īy adjusting the exposure compensation, I was able to brighten more of the room around me. The Insta360 Link has a 1/2-inch image sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and an ISO range of 100-3200. Fortunately, it has one of the best cameras we’ve seen yet.

Other features in the Controller app include the ability to manually control the gimbal, so you can move the camera into any position you like image settings such as exposure, white balance, and contrast tweaking auto-tracking and HDR mode.

Whiteboard mode: Included with the Insta360 Link are four stickers apply these to the corners of a whiteboard, and when this mode is enabled, the camera will automatically center and straighten the image of the whiteboard in the center of the frame, so that callers can clearly see everything that’s written.One of the best iPhone tripods will help. For this mode, you’ll need to mount the Insta360 vertically, and at a high enough distance from the surface you want to stream. Overhead view: Angles the camera directly down.I found that you’ll need the camera to be at least two feet away from you if you want to show your entire desk otherwise, the lower half of the frame will be of your lap. Desk view: Angles the camera down toward the desk in front of you.In addition to the standard webcam view, the Insta360 Link has four other camera modes. Make a V shape with your fingers, and the camera will enter whiteboard mode (more on this later). Make an “L” with your hand and move it up and down, and the camera will zoom in and zoom out.
