New Cameras on the Market

There is a new Insta360 coming out in a few days. They are hyping up the stabilisation and it looks like it can be thrown, or at least they are throwing it in the promo video, but it looks like they are catching it in an umbrella or something. Regardless the video looks pretty cool and the stabilisation looks amazing, even better than the new GoPro Hero 7. They have shown a comparison of the new Insta360 vs Hero 7 vs Sony's action cam and yeah, for stability it wins hands down. The comparison does show that the GoPro Hero 7 probably has better image quality but the price tag will be there to match that.
I think I still made the right decision going with the Insta360 One even though I haven't been playing with it since my trip down the coast. I do want to test a few things out before I go my next trip to see if I can improve the night time/low light image quality and how I can take longer exposure photos at night to capture the scene a little better and maybe even get the stars to "streak" in the sky. I'm guessing that I'll need a really dark environment with no moon to get the best chance of seeing the stars moving but it could be fun to try it out.
I'm yet to get another battery pack so I can recharge the camera on my trips away. I'm concerned that with the time-lapse videos that I want as well as the longer exposure photos that I'll chew through the battery fairly quickly so that's another reason to test these things out prior to the next trip.

Here's the video showing them throwing the new camera around.
