In February 2022, Insta360 introduced its innovative Hyperlink webcam, revolutionizing the world of live streaming and online collaboration. This advanced PTZ digital camera empowers users to effortlessly navigate through rooms while maintaining precise focus on their subject. A sequel is likely in development, which will significantly alter its structure.
This initial look at the Insta360 Link 2 webcam comes courtesy of leaked images shared by Roland Quandt. Without the motorized pan and tilt mechanism, the camera’s functionality has been altered; the zoom now relies solely on AI-powered upscaling rather than traditional optical zoom through the HyperLink.
This package deal eliminates the distinct gimbal feature that distinguished the original Hyperlink, resulting in an unusually compact bundle. While the Hyperlink 2 might still manage tracking using an Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) camera that can tilt its lens to follow a moving object, it’s difficult to confirm this capability solely through static images.
Extra images showcase the Insta360 Link 2’s design – perfect for capturing high-quality content whether you’re broadcasting a lecture or filming a live stream.
The Insta360 HyperLink 2 boasts a 1/2-inch sensor and f/1.8 aperture lens, mirroring the performance of its predecessor. According to the label under the lens, this device should be capable of capturing 4K video and employing AI-powered monitoring capabilities.
@MysteryLupin The digital camera features an 8-megapixel sensor, capable of capturing footage in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, as well as 1080p at a smoother 60 frames per second. While the new Hyperlink 2 is said to retail for $200, this significant price drop from the original $300 Hyperlink likely stems from the elimination of the gimbal mechanism. Without specifying how monitoring is executed, its effectiveness remains uncertain. The new product will be released without any specific details regarding its launch date.
