In addition top spelling ''(which is expected)'' voice control is sensitive to accent and tone. The camera needs you to speak the way the camera wants. Does not learn from you. You cannot program it to your voice. If your tone changes (cold, sinus, health, etc), you will be talking to a brick.

== Wireless connectivity ==
* At 50 cm distance to a pixel 6a phone, the [[Insta360 one x2]] outputs a very weak wifi signal at 65 dBM.
* Both the new action (2023) remote and the first generation remote, fail and disconnect frequently when more then 50 cm. Smartphones stored or held anywhere further than 50 cm, disconnect.
* At 1 meter distance, the signal is 78dBm
* The action remote has to be really close to the camera in a very stable way.
* Wireless signal to a smartphone is usually weak or fair. Rarely good or better.
* The 5 GHZ 802.11 AC real time connection is slow.
== Heating up ==
* A few minutes after the camera starts at 4K, 30 fps, the temperature goes over 43C
* The higher the resolution using for video, the higher the temperature of the camera
* At 5K 30 FPS and an outside temperature of 13C, the camera shutdown after 1h video segments due to high heat.
* At times, the camera has reached 55C
* With a use of an external battery and no battery in the camera slot, the camera will heat up a little bit less.

Although this may depend on your mobile device operating system and or hardware, Bluetooth connection from the mobile device to the camera, is hard, troublesome, fails most of the time, and keeps asking for a pin to establish connection. However, such functional pin is nowhere to be found in any way shape or form anywhere.

In order to use the mobile app, the user is forced to activate the mobile device gps and allow the app to access it. This is done under the excuse that it needs it to find the remote device. Many mobile apps do this but in reality the only thing needed is nearby devices feature active and all this could use bluetooth instead. However, the manmufacturer wants to know where you are. ''(see where these devices are manufactured and what that country is doing tracking drones)''.
