Insta360 Joins Forces with Garmin and Apple for a Brilliant Partnership

Insta360 has recently announced a partnership with Garmin and Apple, allowing users to overlay key stats recorded by Garmin onto their Insta360 camera video footage. In order to sync the data from Garmin with the Insta360 video, users need to make sure that both devices have accurate time settings in the same time zone. The integration can be done through the Insta360 smartphone application by selecting the Garmin Connect account, and the data syncing will happen in the background.

Once the integration is set up, users can view various pieces of data captured in Garmin Connect, such as GPS track, elevation, heart rate, speed, and pace, around the edges of their video when exported and shared. This feature provides a more immersive experience for viewers, especially for creators who share their data. Additionally, users can use this feature for training sessions to review their performance with video footage that includes the surrounding conditions, which may have impacted their results. It also allows users to check pace, speed, and heart-rate changes on their routes.

An interesting aspect of this partnership is the ability to control the Insta360 camera from a Garmin watch. In the Garmin Connect store, there is a widget called Insta360 Remote that works with several Insta360 cameras. It has received high ratings and allows users to control the camera directly from their Garmin watch. Moreover, Insta360 cameras also support data captured from an Apple Watch. There is a full Insta360 app available for the Apple Watch, enabling users to control the camera in different modes and resolutions.

Overall, this collaboration between Insta360, Garmin, and Apple offers compelling reasons for athletes and content creators to consider using the Insta360 camera as their preferred action camera.
