Insta360 GO 2 is a miniscule action camera that weighs less than an ounce

Add as a preferred source on Google

When you’re on the move and trying to keep up with the action, the last thing you want is a hefty camera weighing you down. The Insta360 GO 2 is the perfect solution to this problem. At only 27 grams, the camera weighs less than an ounce but still provides high-resolution, hands-free recording with an action camera.

The Insta360 GO 2 includes a 1/2.3-inch image sensor that yields 1440p videos, ensuring high-quality results no matter what you’re recording. Whether you post your videos on your social media feed or to a dedicated YouTube channel, they’ll stand out. The signature FlowState stabilization and horizon leveling algorithms mean your video will be steady no matter how many bumps you hit or hills you crest.

The GO 2 Charge Case lets you keep your power level up even on the go. Just snap it into the case and the GO 2 will be charged in half an hour. Between its normal charge and the case, the GO 2 can keep filming for up to 150 minutes before it requires a dedicated charge at home — that’s nearly double the length of most action cams.

The GO 2 case also acts as a remote, a tripod, and a handheld grip. You can control the GO 2 from up to 33 feet away tusing the Charge Case’s Bluetooth connection.

If you’re hitting the waves, the GO 2 can withstand water up to 13 feet thanks to its IPX8 waterproofing. The scratchproof, hardened glass Lens Guard protects the lens from dirt, debris, and even the gnarliest wipeouts.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the GO2 is the ultrawide, adjustable field of view. You can choose exactly which angle you need to capture the perfect shot. The 120-degree Ultra Wide FOV is perfect for landscape shots, while a 110-degree ActionView works best for those first-person perspectives.

When you’re done shooting, you might be too tired to bother editing. The FlashCut 2.0 feature lets A.I. handle the editing for you, cutting your clips into a cohesive story and setting them to the perfect tunes.

The Insta360 GO 2 action camera is available today at retailers around the world and from Insta360.com for $300.

Google Pixel 11 review: I don’t think it’s perfect, but offers enough that you’ll love it
After a month in my pocket, the Pixel 11 has convinced me that a great phone doesn’t have to be a big one, or uber expensive.

iPhone Duo has unleashed a whole new MagSafe headache
Your old power banks and wallets may not be making the jump with you.
Apple iPhone Duo Cover Image

At IFA 2026, while wandering through a sea of new gadgets, one little trend kept popping up in the charging and power-bank aisle. Several brands had suddenly embraced wider, squarer magnetic power banks. At the time, it made perfect sense. The iPhone Duo was coming, the leaks had done a pretty good job of spoiling the surprise, and accessory makers clearly weren't waiting around.

I initially thought, “Well, that's just foldables.” I've used the Galaxy Fold 8, and a squarer power bank for a squarer phone isn't exactly rocket science. Then Apple actually launched the Duo, I dug a little deeper, and realised there was a rather annoying catch.

Come on, Apple. The iPhone 18 Pro deserved better
All eyes are on the iPhone Duo, and the flagship iPhone 18 Pros seem like an afterthought
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple's iPhone 17 Pro felt like a substantial upgrade last year. After several generations of increasingly familiar Pro iPhones, last year's phone finally looked and behaved like Apple had reconsidered the hardware rather than simply refreshed it. The aluminum unibody was new, even if titanium seemed more premium.

The giant camera plateau gave Apple more internal space, vapor-chamber cooling finally arrived, battery life improved substantially, and all three rear cameras moved to 48MP sensors. Even the front camera got the genuinely useful Center Stage treatment. A year later, the iPhone 18 Pro dropped without any of the same momentum. Rather, all eyes are on the more premium iPhone Duo.
