Anyone Using the INSTA360 GO2 Camera? (1 Viewer)

[StitchUp]

My INSTA360 Go2 camera has been languishing in the bottom of a box for a while so I thought I'd get it out and charge it up

Anyone using these tiny cameras? Any success or otherwise or, is it like mine, rarely seeing the light of day? Last time I used mine the thing wouldn't shoot more than 7mins 'ish before overheating!!

Interested !

Gulp! How much? I watch a few vloggers and the cost of these things seems to be very high!

I have borrowed my brothers GoPro Hero. It has no numbers on it so I guess it's first gen. As well as being a PITA to attached to the front window it's another PITA to keep it running before it switches itself off or the battery runs out.

I doubt I'll be joining the YouTubers any time soon......

The cost is very high, I agree, particularly when they don't work properly - aka 'overheating'.

I believe the latest models of the GoPro's also shutdown due to overheating!

I have an Apeman A87, the screen shuts down after a few minutes to save battery but it keeps recording.

Here's a clip I recorded with it mounted on my motorcycle.

Unfortunately, upping the video quality by increasing the frame rate & higher resolution produces heat! Maybe my Insta would benefit from being on a bike with a good airflow cooling it - the Insta360 Go2 does produce quite good video at 1440 Pro Mode but what's the point when the darn thing overheats and shuts-down?

I see Insta360 have produced a newer model - the Insta360 Go3, it's slightly larger than the Go2 but, according to reviews on Youtube it doesn't overheat.

It sounds like it's not fit for purpose, have you contacted the seller?

My inactivity cost me I probably intended to but chucked it in a box and forgot!

Many companies (Chinese) like DJI drone manufactures are in a race to get their products to market to beat the competition BUT, at the cost of reliability often fixed later by firmware/software/bug fixes updates.
