Insta launches One 4K 360 camera: Offers 360-degree shooting of images, 4K video recording

One 4K 360 is the name of the latest camera launched by Insta. As the name suggests, this is a camera that offers 360-degree shooting of images and recording of videos in 4K. Both these capabilities make the phone a unique device for photographers to own and use, whether they are professional photographers or those who do it as a hobby.

To put this in perspective, the Insta360 ONE 4K 360 camera, delivers images in resolutions of 3840x1920 when clicked at 30fps and 2560x1280 when the speed is 60fps. When the 24MP lens is used, the image resolution is 6912x3546pixels. The device itself can be operated in three different modes: as a standalone camera, being operated and controlled via a Bluetooth connection or remote via a smartphone connected to the camera through the phone’s charging port.

The significance of this camera lies in the image stabilization feature that it comes with and you can just point the camera at the view you are seeing and the camera will do the rest. Insta One calls it FreeCapture technology and the maker of the camera suggests that you shoot first and focus later. There will be no drop in the image quality. There is a six-axis image stabilization feature that offers clear images with the onboard gyroscope ensuring there is no reduction of quality in the images. There is even an advanced version of the image stabilization feature that permits the user to capture slow-motion shots at 240fps. A companion app is required to make this functional, since the Insta One is meant to capture images or record videos at a maximum of 120fps only.

With many options available to edit the pictures and videos, the Insta One 4K 360 camera has features like HDR shooting and clicking pictures in RAW format and videos in Log format. After you do the editing of the results, you can share them as you wish. Aspects like shutter speed, exposure value, ISO and white balance can be adjusted manually on this camera.

The prices quoted for the Insta ONE 4K 360 camera is $300 (roughly Rs. 19,500) and the pack comprises a 2-in-1 case, a camera stand, a microSD card, a connector cable and a cloth to clean the lens. iPhone users can get a compatible version of the camera now. The Android version will also be made available soon.
