What’s up, TM Nation? In this video I’m breaking down the setup I’ve been absolutely obsessed with for the past few weeks: the Insta360 Wave paired with the Insta360 Link 2 to create the WaveLink system. I’ve been testing the Wave for about 3 weeks in basically every scenario I could think of, and I’m telling you—this isn’t just a speakerphone and webcam. It feels like a production crew, an AI assistant, and a meeting facilitator all rolled into one sleek cylinder that literally rises up like a spaceship when you power it on (and yeah, it’s actually useful because it exposes the touchscreen and clears your laptop). I cover the unboxing, the premium metal build, and the mic array that really blew my mind: 8 mics reading the room in 3D with a listed 16 ft pickup range and five pickup patterns (omni, cardioid, supercardioid, figure-8, and stereo). I also test the AI noise cancellation with keyboard noise and simulated background audio, plus the real-time transcription that’s “scary accurate,” identifies speakers, and creates structured summaries with templates. And the killer feature: with the Link 2 connected, the camera tracks whoever’s speaking like you’ve got a cameraman. I keep it real on the downsides too—this is optimized for computational “clean” meeting audio, not necessarily that raw, natural podcast mic sound. But when you look at what it replaces (speakerphone, transcription, recording, and even automated camera work), the value starts making a lot more sense.
