About this app

Remote control your Insta 360 camera,
either from your Wear OS watch or from your Android phone.

This application connects to your Insta 360 camera through bluetooth connection and lets you capture photos or videos using your Wear OS watch as a remote control.
It also supports sending GPS data (location, elevation, speed, heading) to the camera for stats recording.

Features:
- Photo Capture (Standard / HDR)
- Video Capture (5K/4K/Bullet Time/HDR/GPS)
- GPS Stats feeding to camera for video recording

Comparison with my other Insta 360 remote control app:

Insta 360 Control (this app):
+ Controls over Bluetooth , easy & quick
+ GPS (Stats) data feeding to video recording
+ Various recording modes (4K, 5K, HDR, Bullet Time, GPS)
+ Runs both on watch (standalone) or phone
- No Liveview

Watch Control Pro for Insta360 (other app):
- Controls over wifi, not as easy as bluetooth and disables internet connection while using
- incompatibility issues coming from different watch/camera pairs
+ Liveview while recording/capturing

Insta360 models supported:
- Insta360 ONE X
- Insta360 ONE X2
- Insta360 ONE X3
- Insta360 OneR
- Insta360 OneRS

App is tested on following Wear OS watches:
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
- Oppo Watch 46mm
- Tag Heuer Connected 2021

IMPORTANT:
You can use the app on your phone and/or on your watch. The app itself is free but for full access you have to make a payment. If you pay on your phone, it will be detected after a few minutes when you reopen the app on your watch. You don't have to pay twice for using on both phone and watch.

FOR GPS RECORDING:
GPS Recording requires the app to be open on screen or have permission to do background activity.
You can either enable background activity on Wearable app for this application (and then you can turn of the screen manually) OR our update (4.56) will keep the screen on (dimmed) while recording with GPS data.

The free version is not very useful, so I bought Pro version. I mainly needed the app for recording GPS stats in the video. The app can do that and can trigger photo and start stop recording. It can not wake up Insata 360 like the official Bluetooth remote does. Unfortunately, the phone app can't capture GPS stats with turned off screen. The watch app can capture GPS for about 5 min then it sends stale coordinates to Insta360 (I enabled background access and didn't turn off screen).

Thanks for the review& feedback. I had thought that nobody is interested in the phone app so I did not focus on that. If you want to vapture gps dara on phone, please let me know. I can add that feature. For stale coordinates after 5 minute we can also check whats wrong. Please contact me.

This app is confusing and is pure garbage that doesn't work, tried it with my 360 x5 but it didn't do anything, won't even connect, also, to take a photo you have to buy the app, otherwise you're limited to "demo photo", which takes 10 seconds to... Do nothing at all! Because this garbage app doesn't connect. Will delete it with pleasure.

I think there is a big misunderstanding. But I won't bother helping you. You are just rude.

On Galaxy Watch 5 Pro GPS light does not turn green. Only SENSOR light turns green. Also has big orange UNLOCK button at bottom of screen. Do i have to pay for it to get GPS to connect?

For GPS to turn green: 1. you have to accept all permission requests when the app asks. If you didn't do that, please remove and reinstall app and accept the permissions when asked 2. you must be on an open area which sees the GPS satellites 3. you must select the GPS mode You may be required to get the paid app to be able to select GPS mode
