Intro

Professional high end 360 video cameras often came with a hefty price tag in the tens of thousands dollar. Insta360 Pro, a 360 video camera capable of up to 8K resolution, was released by Insta360 at a price of $3500 per unit. Its ability to capture, stitch and broadcast live 360 videos made it the least expensive option for professionals and serious hobbyists alike.

Features

The Insta360 Pro is the first ever slow motion 360 video camera, made possible by its ability to produce 4K video at 100fps. It supports an impressively high resolution of 8K for 360 images, 4K for 360 videos stitched on the device and up to 6K 360 videos stitched by its editing software.

Its built-in stabilization feature provides incredibly smooth 360 videos even in a shaky and vibrating environment. The live stitching and broadcasting ability mean the video camera could stream live 360 videos to popular platforms like Facebook and Youtube on the go.

Insta360 Pro also offers the convenience of live previewing of a shot before they are being captured or broadcasted, a feature that is missing on some competing devices. Configurations can be done easily with the official apps by capturing the QR code generated on the Insta360 Pro with the press of a button.

Hardware

The Insta360 Pro is built with aluminum alloy with a spherical structure, giving it a basketball shape with silver and black finishing. It has six F2.4 lenses around its circumference and mounted on a tripod. It comes with a removable 5000mAH battery, capable of up to 75 minutes of continuous recording and can be charged while it's being in use.

Reliable internet connectivity is integral in producing high quality live 360 video broadcasting. The Insta360 Pro provides option of WIFI, 4G, and Ethernet to ensure the best option of connectivity is available
