Insta360 Go Ultra Review: Better Video, but Bigger Package

Insta360's Go series cameras have always been remarkably small, and the strong magnetic system makes it possible to put them in places and shoot from angles that other cameras can't match. They're tiny and fun, even if the video quality isn't quite as good as what you'd get from a standard action camera. The latest Go series camera from Insta360, the Go Ultra, aims to change that by using a larger sensor, with higher-quality video, while retaining the detachable, pod-based design. The Go Ultra

Insta360’s New Detachable Action Camera Makes GoPros Look Even More Outdated

Insta360 launches new action camera with removable storage

DJI Osmo 360 Review: A Strong Start

Despite being DJI’s first entry to the 360 camera market, the Osmo 360 feels like the kind of debut you’d only get from a company that has spent a long time perfecting its craft elsewhere. DJI’s drones and action cameras have been impressing me for years, and its claims about the Osmo 360’s capabilities were bold, so I had high expectations. After two weeks of using the Osmo 360 in all sorts of conditions—sun, wind, low light, and on the edge of a downpour—it’s clear this is a serious challenge

I Flew Insta360’s First Drone With a 360-Degree Camera, and It’s DJI’s Worst Nightmare

Screw merely flying a drone; what if you were the drone? You’re a nimble robot buzzing over those rooted pedestrians far below. Above you is blue sky, below the dry ground, and all around you open expanse and a curving horizon. You can see it all, as if you were a head in a jar looking through an impossible dome. Insta360, a company that’s spearheaded 360-degree cameras as an alternative to today’s GoPros, got into drones the only way it knew how—by sticking twin, fish-eye lenses on an unmanned
