If you spend a lot of your work time in online meetings, your webcam kind of becomes your identity. And you're going to want to project the clearest, most high-def version of yourself.
Insta360’s Link 2 webcam can help with that. And for Labor Day, the Insta360 Link 2 is down to $149.99 on Amazon (from its selling price of $200), which is its lowest price yet.
The Link 2 has a 1/2-inch sensor, and supports 4K video at 30FPS or 1080p video at 60FPS.
The camera is mounted on a swiveling gimbal that sits on a cylindrical base, and magnetically attaches to the mounting clip. The Link Controller app offers several options for different tracking modes, including AI tracking for a single person, or for groups.
The gimbal is what makes this webcam especially useful if you need to give presentations online while moving around in your space. There are modes for whiteboards and for showing what’s on your desk. You can adjust the look of the video too, manually controlling the exposure and white balance control. The webcam also offers a clear microphone, but anyone who’s serious about their sound should be using a dedicated mic, or a good quality headset.
In its review, PCMag gave the Link 2 a three-star rating, noting that “The Insta360 Link 2 is a solid gimbal-mounted webcam with a good microphone.”
