Insta360 is known for its 360-degree action cameras, but its Link webcam delivers an impressive set of features and performance for $299. That’s still a high price to ask for a webcam, but you get a lot for the cost here.

While the Insta360 Link is one of the most expensive webcams currently on the market, the AI-controlled technology and build quality are excellent and well-implemented. And it sports true 4K image quality, which very few webcams feature, along with three mounts for a variety of positioning options.
