Insta360 Link

Gimbal-mounted 4K webcam that follows the person on camera

Sits on a motorized gimbal and pans to keep whoever is talking in frame. The sensor is larger than a laptop camera's, which shows up most in a dim room. Good enough for video calls and lightly produced video, where a mirrorless camera and a capture box would be more rigging than the job needs.

    Technology writer · 512 Pixels and Relay

    Uses an Insta360 Link for Zoom calls and the occasional video podcast, calling it an amazing little 4K camera. It sits off to the side of the display on an arm he designed and 3D printed himself.
