Score Up to 47% Off the Best Insta360 Cameras and Webcams With This Summer Sale
Anyone who works from home, loves catching up with friends and family over video calls, or just likes to capture everyday moments knows how tricky it can be to look decent on screen and get that perfect shot. Most built-in laptop webcams and smartphone cameras don't do much for your image quality, which makes it essential to have a dedicated camera that offers better clarity, smooth video, ease of use, and a few extra handy features. Insta360 makes this upgrade easier and cheaper with its summer sale. The brand is currently slashing prices on its AI-powered 4K webcams and other popular models like the Go series and X series cameras, with some options discounted by up to 47%. The sale runs through June 8, so you've got a bit of time to grab one and say goodbye to those 720p grains. Some of our top picks from the sale include the Insta360 Go 3S camera that launched last summer. This portable option offers sharp 4K footage and can also help you shoot slow motion at 200fps in 1080p resolution. Insta360's FloState stabilization is quite impressive as well, which means you can film videos while riding or running without worrying about the quality. You can currently grab Insta360 Go 3S for $365 after a 15% discount. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. If you are looking to improve the quality of your video calls, consider Insta360 Link 2C, which is available at a $23 discount with an on-page coupon. It offers detailed 4K visuals, an impressive low-light performance, a built-in auto-framing feature, and even AI noise cancelling. Or for some summer adventures, take a look at the X2 360 waterproof camera that can handle all those splashes and drops. It is waterproof up to 10 meters (33ft), and can be yours at a whopping 47% discount. There is more to explore, but be sure to get your orders in before the deals expire or the stock runs out. Why this deal matters Good quality cameras and webcams can transform your video conferencing, shooting, and streaming experience. Insta360 makes some of the best options on the market, and this summer sale lets you pick one for less. Some of the best models are seeing significant discounts, which might also be your last chance to save this big before Prime Day in July.

Insta360's face-tracking Link webcams have hit their lowest prices yet
If you're looking to upgrade your work-from-home setup, the Insta360 Link and Link 2 are gimbal-equipped 4K webcams packed with features to improve how you present in video calls. Now through June 8th, both are down to all-time low prices, with the original Link selling for $149.99 (originally $299.99, but typically priced at $179.99) and the Link 2 on sale for $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon. Each of these 4K/30fps cameras stand out thanks to having a 0.5-inch Sony sensor that's mounted on a motorized, three-axis gimbal. This can help to keep you centered in the frame as you move around the room, while also letting you capture content from multiple angles with its useful software features, if you so choose. Their AI-powered framing tool, for example, can automatically zoom in on your head, upper body, or full body, depending on your distance from the webcam. They can also tilt slightly downward with the DeskView mode to highlight what's on your desk, or tilt straight down for overhead mode. The whiteboard mode uses special stickers to identify (and remain locked on) to a whiteboard, making it perfect for presentations. The aforementioned features are present in all Link webcams. However, the smaller, newer Link 2 model adds a couple of new upgrades, like a magnetic mount, more hand gesture controls, and group tracking to keep multiple presenters in the frame (the first-gen Link can only focus on one person at a time). Users can also now designate no-follow zones where the camera won't track movement. Insta360 Link $150$30050% off The Link is a premium-level webcam that offers a gimbal, impressive software, and great value. $150 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) Insta360 Link 2 $170$20015% off The Insta360 Link 2 offers the same auto-swiveling design as its predecessor, but is now smaller with new features like group tracking and no-follow zones. $170 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) More deals worth a look The unlocked Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus with 256GB of storage is on sale in select colors for $749.99 ($150 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. The S25 Plus features a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, which is larger and sharper than the standard model's, plus it has a bigger battery that lasts all day. It's otherwise similar to the S25, offering a robust IP68 dust and water resistance, a good camera system, and seven years of software updates. Read our review. You can grab a five-pack of Anker's USB-C to USB-C cables for $12.99 ($5 off) at Amazon, matching their all-time low price. Each six-foot cable supports up to 60W fast charging, making them great for powering phones, tablets, some laptops, and other USB-C devices, like the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck. They also feature a durable, tangle-resistant nylon-braided design that should be able to withstand everyday wear and tear better than your standard cable. The M4-powered Mac Mini is on sale starting at $488.63 ($111 off) at Amazon, which is an all-time low price on the desktop computer. Despite being smaller than its predecessor, it's more powerful and includes 16GB of RAM by default. It now supports up to three displays – up from two – and offers a solid port selection that still includes 3.5mm audio jack. So long as you don't mind supplying your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse, it's a great value at this price.
