Ready to shoot 8K-per-eye 3D 360 video, the Pro 2 innovates the entire professional VR production workflow \u2013 offering effortless FlowState stabilization, long-range live monitoring, simplified post-production in partnership with Adobe, and a new technology that delivers 8K VR to viewers regardless of whether they have high-end playback devices.<\/figure>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"post-content clearfix\">\n<h3>Introducing the Insta360 Pro 2:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wjM3wS68cYo\" width=\"730\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Every Detail. From Every Angle.<\/h3>\n<p>The Insta360 Pro 2 uses six cameras to capture every angle of a scene at once. The resulting videos or photos are then fused into two 8K 360 images, one per eye, to create immersive, beautifully detailed 3D VR.<\/p>\n<p>Available shooting modes include 8K 3D at 30 FPS, 8K monoscopic at 60 FPS, 6K 3D at 60 FPS, and 4K 3D at 120 FPS, among others. New in-camera HDR keeps lighting natural even when it varies in every direction, and i-Log mode is optimized for maximum flexibility in post-production coloring.<\/p>\n<h3>Make Your Move<\/h3>\n<p>The Pro 2 features Insta360\u2019s proprietary FlowState stabilization, bringing a high-quality in-camera stabilization system to professional VR for the first time ever. Until now, VR creators have faced a grim choice: Make their audience sick with poorly stabilized footage, or use bulky stabilizing gear that would show up in scene and create a post-production headache.<\/p>\n<p>FlowState solves this, achieving gimbal-level, pro-quality stabilization with no gear necessary. The Pro 2 uses an ultra-precise gyroscope that tracks motion on nine axes, and then \u2013 when paired with Insta360\u2019s software innovations \u2013 allows creators to stabilize their footage down to a hair, fully automatically.<\/p>\n<p>The dynamic, moving shots that filmmakers rely on to tell good stories are now possible in VR, along with a new language of dynamic 360 shots waiting to be created.<\/p>\n<h3>Action at a Distance<\/h3>\n<p>VR creators struggle with a fundamental challenge of the medium. How do you direct a shot when you can\u2019t be on-set? The common solution \u2013 Wi-Fi monitoring \u2013 is notorious for being unreliable, short-range and prone to delay and interference.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro 2 comes paired with all-new Farsight technology, a 360\u00b0 live monitoring system that offers a high-definition, low-latency video stream that\u2019s optimized for long-distance previewing.<\/p>\n<p>With a transmitter and receiver, creators can effortlessly direct and control their scene from a distance of roughly 300 meters ground-to-ground, and 1 kilometer ground-to-air. Transmitting at 5.18Ghz, the Farsight uses smart channel switching to ensure it always cuts through the noise.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cNo-Stitch\u201d Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro<\/h3>\n<p>The Pro 2 is tailored for convenient stitching and editing using Insta360\u2019s integrated Adobe Premiere Pro workflow. Every time the Pro 2 captures a video, it automatically saves a low-res proxy version in addition to the full-quality footage.<\/p>\n<p>All a creator needs to do when they finish a shoot is directly import their footage into Adobe Premiere Pro. The proxy files will be automatically recognized and stitched instantly to let creators preview their final project.<\/p>\n<p>This proxy version can be used to edit the project as usual. Then, when users are ready to export, Insta360\u2019s algorithm will take over and stitch together exactly the footage they used in the final project, at full quality. There\u2019s no wasted time, processing power, or effort. Creators stitch only what they use.<\/p>\n<h3>Ready for Anything<\/h3>\n<p>The Pro 2 weighs in at a handy 3.42 pounds (including a battery and antennae), making it easy to carry on remote shoots or send up on a drone, and its hot-swap battery dock ensures that it stays powered-up out in the field.<\/p>\n<p>It sports four built-in mics for 360 audio, plus a pair of USB and 3.5 mm audio inputs on its top and bottom \u2013 allowing creators to add a custom audio setup or other add-ons as their shoots demand.<\/p>\n<p>Six MicroSD card slots, one per each camera, allow the Pro 2 to record at the maximum possible bitrate, ensuring optimal image quality and post-production flexibility. A seventh Full SD card captures stabilization data and low-res proxy files optimized for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>Clear as Crystal<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a drawback to creating a beautiful, high-res VR project: You have to figure out how to deliver it to an audience \u2014 most of whom are going to be using either a smartphone or a popular headset like the Oculus Go or Samsung Gear VR, both of which max out at 4K.<\/p>\n<p>Using Insta360\u2019s proprietary CrystalView technology, Pro 2 content can be quickly converted into a format that\u2019s ready to play back \u2013 at full 8K quality \u2013 on any mainstream smartphone or headset. Insta360\u2019s free playback apps (such as Insta360 Moment) will dynamically render these files, displaying in full quality the exact segment of a scene that a user is looking at.<\/p>\n<h3>Live In the Moment. But Capture It.<\/h3>\n<p>The Insta360 supports 360 live-streaming at 4K resolution \u2014 in both 3D and monoscopic formats. The best part: Creators can save full-quality 8K footage at the same time that they broadcast in 4K, giving them the flexibility to turn their live recording into a polished edit later on.<\/p>\n<h3>Perfect Sense of Direction<\/h3>\n<p>The Insta360 Pro 2 sports a built-in GPS module, enhanced with a top-mounted antenna to improve signal strength. Creators can automatically append GPS data to their captures, allowing for easy contributions to Google Maps Street View and other precision-mapping projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Tools for Any Job<\/h3>\n<p>Insta360 Pro 2 customers will also have access to some of the premiere post-production tools in the VR industry. Included in the purchase of the Pro 2 is a 3-month license for Mistika VR Professional Edition ($236 USD value), offering customizable stitching controls, integrated with Insta360\u2019s official stitching libraries. Also included is a 3-month license for Blend Media\u2019s 360 Stories Pro software ($745 USD value), letting users easily create and publish virtual tours and other interactive 360 experiences.<\/p>\n<h3>Preorders Open<\/h3>\n<p>Preorders for the Insta360 Pro 2 are open now via Insta360 Store, B&amp;H Photo Video and select retailers worldwide. It\u2019s priced at $4999.95 USD, and includes the Farsight transmitter system, plus one battery.
