I’ve been recording my off-road rides in my Jeep with an Insta360, and I’m planning to take my 4Runner out more for snow wheeling this season. The Jeep has a lot of easy camera mounting options, but the 4Runner is a bit trickier, especially for 360 cameras.
For anyone considering an Insta360 for trail footage, these cameras work a little differently than dash cams or typical action cams, so I put more thought into mounting positions. I put together a hood mount setup that seems promising, but I can’t claim it’s a good off-road solution yet, I’ve only tested it on pavement so far. I’m mainly sharing this as an idea, in case it helps someone else who’s trying to mount a 360 cam without relying on suction cups.
Personally, I’ve had bad results with suction cup mounts staying put, and I don’t want to risk my camera coming loose on the trail. After I get my new roof rack installed, I’ll probably experiment with rack-based mounting too, I have a Prinsu Pro on order. That said, I really like having the camera mounted forward. It keeps the vehicle out of the shot when I’m recording the trail ahead, and it also gives a great view looking back when I want the vehicle in frame.
If anyone here has found a solid way to mount an Insta360 for off-roading, I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.
