The insta360 ONE X2 was my 2nd purchase after the Samsung gear 360 (2017). The insta is known as a one man production team because of the number of features the camera and included software have to offer. However, all this fancy tech did not come cheap. At the time of purchase the kit was over £600 !
This camera was my introduction to the 360 world. I soon came to realise that if you could operate this camera, you can work them all. The quality is to this day still "up there" with the best of them. They are not longer available to buy new and if you are lucky to find a new one they are really inexpensive but will be old stock. - Apple phones still seem to support these but Android do not. That being said, you don't technically need to use a phone to control this camera as it has a screen and controls on it.

Here I really need to put a little write up about this camera. Truth is, I've not used it enough yet to be able to say much. Except, it was expensive and I therefor expect great things from this camera! Watch this space.
