If you’re looking to upgrade your work-from-home setup, the Insta360 Link and Link 2 are gimbal-equipped 4K webcams packed with features to improve how you present in video calls. Now through June 8th, both are down to all-time low prices, with the original Link selling for $149.99 (originally $299.99, but typically priced at $179.99) and the Link 2 on sale for $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon.
Each of these 4K/30fps cameras stand out thanks to having a 0.5-inch Sony sensor that’s mounted on a motorized, three-axis gimbal. This can help to keep you centered in the frame as you move around the room, while also letting you capture content from multiple angles with its useful software features, if you so choose. Their AI-powered framing tool, for example, can automatically zoom in on your head, upper body, or full body, depending on your distance from the webcam. They can also tilt slightly downward with the DeskView mode to highlight what’s on your desk, or tilt straight down for overhead mode. The whiteboard mode uses special stickers to identify (and remain locked on) to a whiteboard, making it perfect for presentations.
The aforementioned features are present in all Link webcams. However, the smaller, newer Link 2 model adds a couple of new upgrades, like a magnetic mount, more hand gesture controls, and group tracking to keep multiple presenters in the frame (the first-gen Link can only focus on one person at a time). Users can also now designate no-follow zones where the camera won’t track movement.
