Hello Tariq. I have a question please? Is there a way to use the cam as a rear view mirror? In other words, seatpost mount it for a rear view, and live stream to my mobile phone, stem mounted? It seems to me that this would be a natural auxiliary use for the unit or for any other bike rear cam/light unit. Thanks for your nice review and very thorough demo.
You can using their app. But I wouldn’t use it as a rear view mirror as their will be delay in video. There are other devices you can use as rear view radar such as Garmin Varia which I highly recommend for cyclists. amzn.to/3nGsmEd
@@SmartBikeTrainers thank you for your reply, and it answered my question why it couldn’t be used as a mirror. I have the varia and love it, but was wondering.
Nice video!! Question: when you press the record-knob on the Insta360 (on the necklace), does it beep? Or anything to show that recoding is on? (since you can't see the light)
One use case I didn't see was "handheld" - all the examples are fixed mount, including the pendant. I would prefer the versatility of having a hand-grip attachment so I could pull the camera from a jersey pocket for selective shooting (with the caveat of being careful not to crash into something in the process, of course).
Thank you for this very helpful video. One question though, could I hook up an auxiliary battery charger to the charge case and use the Insta360 GO 2 inside it's case?
Love the video thanks. The top tube mount is pretty cool. Can you get it any higher or is it limited to the one height with the mounts when on the top tube? Cheers
I looking for good bike camera or body cam where I need the camera for safety on road and safety on my body. Any good cam for good battery life and small?
The case itself operates as a controller so you can start, stop, and change settings directly from the case. You can also program the button on the camera to start / stop recording in different modes.
The K-edge with the GoPro mount amzn.to/3iHUpwM Or if you already have a K-Edge, you can just get the GoPro mount adapter: amzn.to/3rtNLhz For the rear seat, I used this: amzn.to/3wVMq45
Hey Tariq I think you are a stand up guy and was getting ready to push buy when I read some of the negative reviews ( too many to repeat here: overheating, connectivity issues, freezing etc). You really didn't mention any of these or any problems that you encountered. Did you not have any cons or problems with the camera?
This video was really not intended to be a review. Like the title says, the video was about how I use it on the bike. It’s really good for short type videos and it can be a really cool camera if used right. yes it can over heat and battery life isn’t the best and no storage expansion option. Appreciate you trusting my reviews though and would’ve put a list of pros and cons if this video was a review. But I assumed this camera been out for a while and plenty of good reviews out there and didn’t want to just do another review video :)
Just to add a bit more context on some of the freezing issues, I have been on the road the past couple of days and I have been using it daily. Had nothing but good experience. But typically I record 1-3 min long videos.
In the future listen to the final mix all the way through. And re adjust the audio levels, Before finally posting your pictorial video. The music often appears Loud at times in this video
Thanks for not only reviewing the camera, but also demonstrating different angles that are possible with it. Great video! 🔥
This is one excellent video, thank you for making.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks 🙏🏼
You deserve the name "smart bike trainer". Thanks for doing this. I couldn't figure it out by myself.
Thank you for being the only reviewer of this camera to mention that is not a 360 camera. Despite the "360" Name.
Wow, very helpful and a great way to record clips.
Thanks for sharing. You gave me some great ideas.👍🏼
Awesome. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video and thanks for the inspiration. Should have watched before I ordered the extra bike kit. 😁
Great video,am more impressed with your physique than the camera, you seem to be a hardcore bike rider that keeps you fit.
I’m using it for all my cycling shot. Very useful and thanks for the tips.
Awesome… glad you like it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@SmartBikeTrainers check out one of my video using insta360. Feel free to comment for improvement.

Cool little camera. I know a few weight weenies that prefer this camera on their bikes. 🪶 Great video as always! 👏
Thanks Matt!!! 26.5 grams is super light and good to know it’s weight weenies approved :)
super
Nice video!! Question: when you press the record-knob on the Insta360 (on the necklace), does it beep? Or anything to show that recoding is on? (since you can't see the light)
Hello … it vibrates when you press it to confirm start recording … it also vibrates when finished.
One use case I didn't see was "handheld" - all the examples are fixed mount, including the pendant. I would prefer the versatility of having a hand-grip attachment so I could pull the camera from a jersey pocket for selective shooting (with the caveat of being careful not to crash into something in the process, of course).
You can attach it to a hand grip mount using one of the included attachments. Any GoPro compatible hand grip mount should work.
How long does a full battery last?
Thank you for this very helpful video. One question though, could I hook up an auxiliary battery charger to the charge case and use the Insta360 GO 2 inside it's case?
Yes you could …. But Insta also make a usb mount now which is better option.
Love the video thanks. The top tube mount is pretty cool. Can you get it any higher or is it limited to the one height with the mounts when on the top tube? Cheers
It’s limited to the mount included so you will have to get a little creative.
@@SmartBikeTrainers okay thanks!
Since it uses the GoPro finger mount you could easily get an extension to put inbetween there.

If you are looking for a rear bike camera, take a look at this:

One question is, where and how you operate the controller ??
The case itself operates as a controller so you can start, stop, and change settings directly from the case. You can also program the button on the camera to start / stop recording in different modes.
Is there any gps features?
Nope it does not
how you attach the selfie end with the k-edge?
The K-edge with the GoPro mount
amzn.to/3iHUpwM
Or if you already have a K-Edge, you can just get the GoPro mount adapter: amzn.to/3rtNLhz
For the rear seat, I used this: amzn.to/3wVMq45
@@SmartBikeTrainers gonna try that, thanks
Any way to add cycling data: power, cadence, elevation speed etc
No it doesn’t support embedding cycling data like other ones.

20-30 minutes record time is just not enough for my bike rides 😕
Probably even less with the 32gb storage
@@SmartBikeTrainers True 😕
I want this camera, but I keep waiting for the 3rd generation
I hear you. Broke mine and contemplating to get a replacement but waiting and hoping for an update.
I think one X2 is better than this GO 2
For all around, yes, the X2 is a much better camera. This one though has its own use case and can be useful in a lot of situations.
This camera gets a lot of bad reviews.
Well those reviews are incorrect - this is an excellent little camera for its size and price.
