Known so far (2026-10-25)
- Each camera records dual fisheye: two back-to-back ~200° circles in one frame (
.insvvideo,.inspphotos). Stitching warps them into one equirectangular 2:1 panorama. - On Linux:
ffmpeg -vf v360=dfisheye:equirect:ih_fov=200:iv_fov=200, adjusting the field of view until the seam lines up. Rougher than Insta360 Studio (Windows, macOS only). - Gyroflow (open source, Linux) stabilises some Insta360 models; check whether these are among them once the model is known.
- Sync two cameras by a clap or a sharp note at the start.
