To obtain a reasonable GPX track, the Insta Remote is required. I have it permanently attached to the bottom end of a second selfie stick. This selfie stick rests on the dashboard and is in a loop near the left mirror window; on the right, it rests on my smartphone mount. I can easily adjust the length using the telescope.
The Insta Remote is powered by a USB-C cable and, in addition to the left mirror window, has a stable Bluetooth connection to the camera on the roof. This position also provides good satellite reception—even in the city. In summer, the remote is cooled by the left ventilation grille of the car’s air conditioning. This keeps the remote display and control button in a stable position while driving, and I can easily read the display.
When I get out of the car, I remove the selfie stick, fully extend the telescope, and screw the Insta camera onto the stick.
In just a few simple steps, the Insta Remote can be converted from vehicle use to selfie stick use. The remote remains in the same position on the pole and is simply rotated.
Something is very annoying, and I haven’t found a solution yet. Before I start recording, I have to restart the Insta remote, and thus the camera. If I don’t do this, I get a GPX track with strangely sprawling curves. However, after restarting immediately before recording, my settings reliably produce a very good GPX track.
