Insta360 has just come out with a remote that you can use to help manage your 360-degree camera mid-scoot. They’re calling it the Insta360 GPS Action Remote – and she comes handy for multitasking riders like myself. 

The news comes alongside the perks that she “utiliz[es] GLONASS, BD, and GPS networks in unison” (via ADVRider). She also is waterproof up to 5 meters, works via 5.0 Bluetooth (oo la la), and shows off up to 65 feet of range.

Dead zones? Not a problem. 

Asking price? According to the article, we’re looking at  $79.99 US – not a bad price, considering you now get GPS stats data embedded in your video with this little wristwatch-style guy. 

“Simply import your footage after shooting into the app, then overlay stats like speed, elevation, and more onto your video in a tap,” concurs the report. 

“These stats can add an extra punch to action footage and keep viewers engaged.”

A heads up in advance; the Insta360 GPS Action Remote will be able to work with the following models:

  • X3
  • ONE RS
  • ONE R

This means that, as of now, the ONE X2 isn’t on the list; that WILL change…though not in time for the action camera’s debut date, unfortunately.
