The modular Insta360 is the Swiss Army knife of action cameras

Three-in-one

Insta360 has unveiled a spanking new adaptive action camera called the One R ($299) that’ll be a godsend for photographers and filmmakers in dire need of versatility. Co-engineered in partnership with Leica, the ditty shooter is compatible with a unique set of interchangeable lenses capable of capturing 360-degree video, 4K wide-angle footage at 60fps, vivid 5.7K video, and 19MP photographs. All three lens mods clip into a ‘base’ body that houses the One R’s battery and processor, and can be swapped out in an instant. It’s a smart system that should allow the device to adapt to a whole host of conditions, and one that makes the One R an action cam the Swiss Army would be proud to call their own.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
