The Insta360 One X2 is a pocket-sized waterproof action camera that would appeal to water sport enthusiasts, adrenaline junkies and YouTubers.

I’ve reviewed many gadgets over the years, but one type of camera always prompted the question:"Why?" I finally got to spend time with a 360° camera over the holidays, with the Insta360 One X2.

The One X2 weighs 149g and is shaped like a candy bar, with dimensions of 4.62cm x 11.30cm x 2.98cm. It shoots images in wide-angle and RAW formats, and up to 5.7K videos at 24 frames per second. It has an accompanying Insta360 app, which I struggled to pair with an iPhone 13 Pro, though I had luck with an older Android. I checked online; it supports iOS devices released up until 2020.

To start shooting, you need an SD card that needs to be formatted to avoid getting errors. You can toggle the video resolution to 3K, 4K or 5.7K, as well as the frame rate to see the amount of footage you can record in real time. It shoots in either 150° or 360° angles. Auto camera mode is recommended for beginners, and HDR makes all the difference.It took some time to understand how it works properly, but downloading images and videos via the app was straightforward.
