Description
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 - Suunto 7 - Huawei Watch 2 - Fossil Gen 5 fossil Q Explorist HR - Ticwatch Watch Pro 3
IMPORTANT: It is only useful with a Wear OS watches. (not compatible with other watches using Tizen or other operating systems)

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.
Recent changes: New features: CamSelected video mode: uses the mode selected on camera (8K on X4 possible) Highlight button: Marks the video section Track button: starts GPS and stats recording on CamSelected mode X3/X4 support: Just select either video or photo mode on the camera before taking a photo or starting video capture.

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 INSAT 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).

Edit: after having some more time with it, it seems to work a bit better, but I can't always stop a gps recording via watch. Updated to 4 stars. Works perfectly on Samsung watch 4, but I do have a serious problem. The app seems to lose its paid status when separated from the phone, after starting a go kart race and trying to start a new video after staging, it disabled all pro features, and I was unable to record GPS data on my race video.

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?

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.

Man, this developer is ultra cautious with his IP. you get the chance to take ONE test photo, (still photo only, no video) before you are required to pay 17 bucks for full access. I'll pass.

Enable to confirm it works as you have to pay to see if it does. I'm not prepared to pay $20 to find out. The developer obviously doesn't have customer service skills. My review obviously indicates that I don't see a way to test his application. If his application has a way to test it then I obviously don't see that option. Rather than educate me he chooses to attack me. My ignorance can be corrected, his poor attitude will take a lot more effort.
