Numerous modes for professional video recording with the Insta360 ONE X2

If you look at the product page of the manufacturer's online shop, you will find numerous images, animations and videos that explain the various recording modes for wide-angle and 360° videos. In the following I will therefore only give a short outline and a video for a general overview (for some functions the use of the iOS or Android app is necessary): 

  • Steady cam mode: Image stabilization in wide-angle mode against shaking in the video
  • Flow State Stabilization: Advanced image stabilization even on bicycles, motorcycles and other high-frequency vibration situations
  • 360° panorama mode: Also sometimes called "Tiny Planet" mode, in which the landscape in the photo looks like a mini planet surrounded by the sky
  • horizon lock: Horizon always remains horizontal in the image, can be activated in both Steady Cam and 360° modes

  • T: Various video speed adjustments are possible from ultra slow motion to timelapse
  • Bullet Time 3.0: The tracking shot, in which no time seems to pass, is known from the film Matrix - with the Insta360 ONE X2 all you need is a string on which the camera is twirled around you
  • Freeze Frame: Freeze the video at a self-selected moment to emphasize a specific point in time or a specific action
