30w fast charge (on the Pro), good to 33ft, and a flip screen... insta360 is killing it. Having a 5nm chip on a consumer device like this, imo, shows a passion for excellence that you won't see in most competitors. I hope these class of devices can start integrating better with phones. The screens on these things aren't big enough for comfortably complex & advanced photo-nerdery, but even my old Zcam E1 (Kickstarter 4/3" (aka MFT) 4k action camera from 2p25) has a pretty ok wifi app where I can compose shots well & relatively quickly change settings. It's also great for composing group photos. These are amazing sensor packages, and are held back by how they are marketed & targetted, but eventually those designations are going to start crumbling some, and that should be amazing. If these devices did expose some kind of more prosumer interface I could easily see them migrating from action cams to something like camera replacements. Insta360 has already done great with cameras & optics. Their One RS platform allowing the lens + sensor to swap out, and it's easy for me to imagine expanding the lineup from mostly wide angle ish prime lenses to also incclude some optical zoom or long focal length primes. Ideally phones would also integrate themselves well too. I can plug a USB camera (I've had much more hit & miss situation with microphones weirdly) into most Android phones and have it work (alas notably Chrome often doesn't pick up the device frustratingly!!); handy for conference rooms or desks with good fixed infrastructure. But so far we still don't good standards based ways to do this kind of thing over wifi. It'd be fun to swing for the fences & see someone bake Media-over-QUIC or something bleeding Edge into a device, but even an rtsp streamer & Android support as a sink would enable fun weird interesting advanced uses galore.
