If you spend a lot of your working time in online meetings, your webcam becomes a kind of reflection of your personality. And you probably want to project the clearest, best version of yourself possible.
The Insta360 Link 2 webcam will help you do just that. In honor of Labor Day, the Insta360 Link 2 is on sale on Amazon for just $149.99 (from a retail price of $200), its lowest price yet.
The Link 2 features a 1/2-inch sensor and supports 4K video at 30 fps or 1080p video at 60 fps.
The camera is mounted on a gimbal mounted on a cylindrical base and magnetically attached to a mounting clamp. The Link Controller app offers several options for different tracking modes, including AI tracking for a single person or for groups.
The gimbal makes this webcam especially useful for giving online presentations while moving around the room. There are modes for working with a whiteboard and for showing what’s on the table. You can also customize the video quality by manually adjusting the exposure and white balance. The webcam also has a microphone with clear sound, but those who are serious about sound quality should use a separate microphone or a quality headset.
In its review, PCMag gave the Link 2 a three-star rating , noting that “The Insta360 Link 2 is a solid webcam with a gimbal mount and a good microphone.”
