ABOUT THE MANTIS SUB ENCLOSURE
The Mantis Sub housing for the Insta360 Pro2 camera allows low-latency 4K3D live
streaming and 8K3D recording of full-spherical stereoscopic video at depths to 90
metres / 300 feet.
The distinctive hexagonal geometry of the allows an uninterrupted 360-degree view
with clean zenith and nadir. The camera can be switched on and controlled using
buttons on the body, or connected via a waterproof ethernet bulkhead to provide
control and livestreaming via the Insta360 app for mobile or desktop.
CONTROLLING AND MONITORING
The Insta360 Pro/Pro2 can be controlled with the buttons on the enclosure, or with
the free Insta360 App via Ethernet:

•Ambient Hydrophone ASF-G M14 with cable ASFG35DC, with M14x1
bulkhead connector.
ETHERNET
Insta360:
The Insta360 Pro1 and Pro2 feature a RJ45 socket at the base of the camera for
control, monitoring, and live streaming of pre-stitched 360 video. The minimum cable
requirement is Cat 5 (2x twisted pair). The maximum bandwidth requirement for live
streaming is 20MBit. This can be adjusted with the Insta360 App via WiFi and
Ethernet.
