You sticking with continuity camera or grabbing a Link 2?

Where’s the “what’s up guys my name is Brandon?” I always forget who I am listening to

[jmbhd]

I think I actually prefer the built-in mic on the Macbook, which is surprising

[BrandonButch]

Finally. Now I won't look like a ghost when using my built-in Mac webcam 💀

[homesteadmovies]

Wow, I really like this! I need a webcam for my classes so I might just pick this up. Thanks for the review, man! Huge fan of your channel!!!!

[velanche]

Thanks for the review! I wasn't in the market for a webcam, considering I just ordered my third Sony ZV-1 a day or two before watching this video. After watching this and a few other reviews, I gout the Link 2 and tried it out tonight; so, so useful, especially the tracking. I also plan to use it as an overhead cam, but the clarity was surprisingly very good. Not yet sure if I can get the cam to do 4K24, but otherwise it's a keeper. Appreciate you showing it off!

[Ryan_Chisholm]

I'm definitely going to pick this up this looks great!

[Skreach]

Ok you are the first video I've seen that actually had the grainy video attached to the link 2. I appreciate that cause I was going crazy thinking something was wrong

[Tyler_ThaTruth]

I still have zero use for a dedicated webcam in my life but it’s still a awesome product

[Slimothy]

I love my OBSBOT camera, looks similar to this

[chasehaha]

The Mac definitely sounds better than the insta360, but camera quality, wow the insta360 is better.

[willbsims]

I use my iPhone alongside the Camo Studio software which gives you most (if not all) of these features and works with any webcam or smartphone.

Hey Brandon 🙂
Would you personally prefer the Insta360 Link 2 or the OBSBot Tiny 2? And why?

[ffgcvs]

To be honest, I liked more the MacBook audio and the video quality is almost the same but a bit better on the camera

[JimKahana-driftin]

I'd return it. Audio quality is not comparable to the price. A Microsoft LifeCam costs half the price and you get good video and decent audio for half (sometimes a quarter if you snag a good deal) the cost of this camera. The built-in mic on your Mac is better in every way.

[owenmikucki]

wait this is awesome Brandon definitely would pick this up up you work in a workspace if you do a lot of video calls

[TuyenNewsTV-TNT]

Hi! I really like the audio quality in this video. May I ask what wireless microphone you’re using

[homesteadmovies]

I saw the iPhone 16s in the background!!! Can't wait for your next video on them!

[keshav]

7:20, Is it possible to use the new iphone mirroing feature to access your iphone on mac while the continuity camera is on ?

because if it can then I am buying an old iphone instead of Link 2.

[blackmamba]

I think the cheaper Link 2 is a better choice. Because the other one has a gimbal, I just assume it has a higher chance of breaking especially if you put it inside your bag. Plus I think I mostly likely my camera stationary. It seems like a cool gimmick to have it follow you, but when are you ever actually going to use that?
