Insta360, the company renowned for producing cameras that deliver high quality 360 degree video, has launched a teaser video for a product it is revealing tomorrow - 24 May 2022. The teaser video is just 19 seconds in length showcasing the capabilities of its next product – but after watching it we don't yet know if it will be a new camera or a drone!

After watching the video (above), with its Elevate your Creativity tagline, it is quite clear that this new product will be based around the best drones or FPVs on the market. But let's think logically for the moment, Insta360 make cameras, very good ones too, so it would make sense if this was a new camera teased designed toward the FPV drone market to compete with GoPro's attempt on trying to capture the market with its stripped down GoPro Hero 10, the GoPro Hero 10 Black Bones.

What we do know is that the teaser video was uploaded to YouTube in 4K and within the video's timeline we can see features such as slow-motion and hyperlapse, as well as a possible loop feature to open up new creative movements never seen before within the drone/FPV space. This may all be guesswork and interpolation for the moment, but we will know exactly what this new product will be from Insta360 on 24 May.
