  • Two new Insta360 cameras have been spotted
  • These models have been teased by the Insta360 CEO
  • There's plenty of speculation over what they could be

We have Insta360 to thank for some of the best action cameras in the business – as well as several other innovative gadgets – and it looks very much like we've got a couple more cameras from the company to look forward to in the near future.

Insta360 CEO Jingkang Liu has taken to Chinese social media site Weibo (via PetaPixel) to share a teaser image, alongside the caption "go to a new focal segment". That sounds like an upcoming camera to us.

As pointed out by The New Camera, there are actually two unknown cameras in this picture: the camera that we can see being used to frame a photo, and a second camera that's visible through the viewfinder of the first one.

  • DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Another image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 leaks — and it could come with a mysterious new accessory

We're well used to rumors and teases and hints for Insta360 products at this stage, but this is a sort of hybrid combination of an official unveiling and a product leak that we don't often see, and we're rather intrigued as to what it could be pointing to.

Camera spotting

The first camera in this image – the one that's being used to frame and take a photo – looks unlike anything Insta360 currently makes. PetaPixel speculates that it might be a compact, fixed-lens camera along the lines of a Canon PowerShot.

We can see some controls around the side of the viewfinder, which include buttons for toggling between video and photo modes, and a playback button for reviewing videos and photos captured by whatever camera this is.

As for the second camera that the first mystery camera is taking a picture of, The New Camera suggests this is a pocket vlogging camera along the lines of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 waiting in the wings).

That latter camera is probably closer to being launched – perhaps as early as February or March – whereas the compact digital camera may still be in the prototype stage. It seems that it won't be too long before we have more Insta360 cameras to enjoy.
