Following in the footsteps of the consumer camera market, the action cam world has exploded with ever-growing functionality and quality. Depending on your view, that's either good news or unnecessary clutter that gets in the way of real craftsmanship. Can a return to basics be a step in the right direction?

That's the premise behind theGo 2 from Insta360 , a novel action cam meant to be small enough to go anywhere, easy enough for a luddite to use, but powerful enough to capture stunning footage from the most intense adventures.

Video review:

Insta360 is fast emerging as a challenger brand to GoPro, the space's dominant player. The company is perhaps best known for its consumer and professional cameras that boast innovative hemispherical lenses that, together with in-system firmware, stitch together 360 degree video capture that users can edit in all manner of creative ways. The Go 2 is a departure from the brand's 360 degree video capture hallmark, and indeed a step away from general trends in the action cam market. 

Review: Insta360's X3 360-degree action cam will amaze you

Designed with simplicity in mind, the camera body has just one button and clips magnetically inside a base with just two buttons. The screen is itsy bitsy and monochrome, and the video capture options are sparse. If those sound like negatives, they bely the real power of what may be the last of a dying breed: A true action cam designed to go literally anywhere.

I spent a few weeks testing the Go 2 during a recent trip moving our WWII-era sailboat from Alaska to Mexico. How did the Go 2 fair? During several hours of video capture across multiple devices, the Go 2 emerged as the device we preferred to reach for. Check out my video review above for more on that journey or read on below.
