Insta360 Pro Now Has Higher Image Quality Plus New Tools

With support for 8K and 12K footage!

It’s only been half a year since the $3,499 Insta360 Pro VR camera started shipping, but the Chinese company is already offering a “V2.0” release right before the holidays. To be exact, this is actually more about a “major” firmware update with significant improvements on the same hardware, and existing users can already download the beta firmware for a spin (though it’s also possible to roll back should something go wrong). Once updated, the device will benefit from much improved image quality, as well as a 12K “Super Resolution” still photo mode, optical flow interpolation for double frame rate output plus a few new professional tools.

 

 

In terms of new features, the aforementioned 12K “Super Resolution” still mode works for both stereoscopic and monoscopic capture. This is achieved by quickly taking a burst of ten 8K shots, and then merging them to form a 12K image, though this output resolution can also be lowered to 8.2K to suit Samsung GearVR’s maximum resolution while obtaining a sharper image.
