Insta360’s latest 360 camera takes the combined concept to new places. The Insta360 EVO switches shooting modes by folding and can streaming to VR headsets.
After the One X 5.7K camera, Insta360’s taken a unique approach to its next camera. The Insta360 Evo is a dual-mode camera, meaning it can shoot both 180 3D and 360 footage. It can switch between the two when you manually fold the camera back to capture 360 footage.
What’s really intriguing, though, is that this new camera can directly stream content to VR headsets like HTC Vive Focus, Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR.
You can watch Insta360’s launch video for the EVO below:
