Insta360 GO 2

TikToker hides tiny camera on suitcase to see what happens at the airport

by 1 Comment

If you’ve ever travelled long haul and got your suitcase back in a distinctly questionable condition, this might be the video for you! I’ve often wondered what on earth goes on behind the scenes at the airport. Well, apparently, so did one TikToker, who attached a tiny camera to his suitcase to film what happened to it.

Thomas Miller attached an Insta 360 Go 2 to his suitcase before dropping it t the check-in desk. He then proceeded to film the suitcase’s eye view of its incredible journey around the airport until it reached its destination.

How to get Laowa probe-like macro shots with the Insta360 GO 2 and a 10ft selfie stick

Video sequences with a camera seeming to fly through tiny spaces isn’t a new idea. Certainly not when Laowa’s been using them to market its 24mm f/14 probe lens for the last several years. But do you really need to buy a $1,500 lens to get this type of shot? Well, it turns out that no, you don’t, not if you can shrink the camera itself down to the size you need, as Luke Edwin proves in this video.

Luke takes the recently released Insta360 GO 2 (review here) and attaches it to a 10ft long selfie stick, making a form of DIY slider, powered by a cordless drill (don’t worry, it all makes sense when you watch the video). The whole setup works simply because of the GO 2’s tiny size and the fact that it contains the same image sensor found in many flagship action cameras.

The Insta360 GO 2 is an amazing wearable first-person camera (also available in Minions flavour)

The more I’ve travelled to shoot photos and video over the last few years, the more I’ve come to appreciate the benefits of smaller and lighter kit. Ok, so I haven’t done much travelling in the last year… Ok, I haven’t done any at all, really, but the point still remains that smaller is often better suited to the task when you’re out exploring.

And today, Insta360 has announced something very small to help document your exploration adventures. It’s the update to their popular Insta360 GO wearable FPV camera, the Insta360 GO 2. I’ve been testing one for a few weeks now, and I’ve really come to like it. Oh, and they’re releasing a Minions version, too. Yup, a Minions version.
