Does it have built in SLOW MO or TIME LAPSE?
I'm a longtime Australian subscriber to your channel and passionate M43/Lumix user - and your reviews are always high-quality. I'm posting this first-ever comment on your channel because I've spent extended time in Bratislava (especially a couple of month-long sabbaticals in 1992 and 1997) and this video brings back some very many fond memories I have of your hometown. This is some of the my favourite footage you have taken of Bratislava and it is great to see your city today in this light.
Thank you, I appreciate your long-term support.
First of all, thank you for the great review! As expected, you always manage to get great video quality out of the devices. Because of that I often use your reviews as a reference to see what the maximum capable quality is from a device! :)
You're welcome! I use very high bit-rate to get the best IQ possible, but there is still some amount of YT compression, so all these cameras are even better than what you see here on YT.
0:08 "Please watch this video in 5K for the best image quality"
Me with my Samsung A3: if I could, my friend
.
Joke aside, love your content and it's really enjoy to watch 😊
Thank you!
Thanks for the very useful information!📷✌🏻
What is causing the artefact in the cobblestones at 3:25 as you are walking? I'm getting this too with my 1 inch mod and don't know how to avoid it.
It is not visible in the original file so it is caused by original resolution / upload resolution / viewing device resolution mismatch and YT compression.
I'm very close to buy this Action Cam right now for my next trip, you sold it to me 🤣. Compared to the iPhone 11 what would you say about IQ and DR ?
Compared to ultra-wide iPhone 11 camera, this is completely different league. Image quality and DR is much better on One R.
Thanks for the review! Maybe this camera will work not sometimes as a gopro... :-)
Did you have any freezing issues with it?
You're welcome! I haven't had any reliability issues so far.
I love that you showed more stills and video than just camera setting. I can just read the online manual if I want to know about the settings.
Any way to request a comparison between the 1 inch, pocket 2 and the new osmo action 4 in low light? 🤔
Thank you for this great review. I’m thinking of these for orchestral recordings. However there are times when I would need two hours’ continuous shooting. Could I achieve this by recording at 1080? I really need the low light capability, not so much the 4K….
Great review as always! How would you say the dynamic range and walking stabilization compares to the DJI Osmo Pocket? Do you think the difference between the quality of the footage between these two is significant/noticeable? Thanks!
Those two shoot completely different type of footage so they are not directly comparable. One R captures more detail and DR due to the larger sensor. Stabilization differences depend on specific situation.
I have a few questions for you about this camera:
1) Can I attach a graduated neutral density filter to it?
2) Can I output the video to an external monitor via HDMI, such as a SmallHD Focus?
3) Can I power the camera via USB? I would like at least 3 hours of running time.
4) Can I control exposure wirelessly via my smart phone? I would like to be able to control shutter speed and ISO. I understand aperture is fixed.
5) Can you verify that I can shoot 24 fps? Their website says yes, but B&H has only 30 fps listed.
Your videos are always very objective and concise, and I always appreciate them! Thanks!
1. yes
2. no
3. yes
4. yes
5. yes
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it! If I may, I have one more follow-up question.
If I have no way of monitoring the video remotely (and seeing zebras, for example), then there's no reason for me to try and control the camera's exposure remotely. So, is there ANY way to see the footage remotely and judge exposure accurately (with zebras, for example)? I was hoping to use my 5" SmallHD Focus, but if I can use the same app (smart phone) that I control exposure with (which you said is possible) to judge exposure, maybe that would work fine.
Of course, you can use the smartphone app, that works very well.
If you used the Insta360 One R 1-Inch for POV motorcycle riding (chest mounted) do you think the motorcycle tank and handlebars would be blurry due to the minimum focus distance? Thank you
Pretty please could you measure what size is the lens protector. What are the dimensions of the screw in connection? 28mm? 32mm? What is the diameter of the glass part? 48mm? How long is the protector? 10mm?
Hi Excellent video, by the way do you know where I can find a sample raw
video in INSV format? I would like to test the Inta360 X Studio to see
how it stabilize the video. thanks
Hi, great stuff! I’m not sure if you can help me.
3 questions on things I’ve read on Insta360 1 inch:
1) max record time of 28-29mins. Does that improve if using an external battery pack?
2) When using external battery packs, you need to press the ON/OFF every 10mins? Means, I can’t leave it alone to record a 2 hr footage?
3) Are there any recording gaps when shooting longer videos? I.e. the cam saves the video into smaller blocks of 30mins and are there any gaps between those files?
Usage will mainly for my drumming footage for concerts and as an action cam also.
Considering this Vs GoPro 9
I unfortunately don't know, I never shoot long clips, but it should be listed in the specs.
Thanks!
Did you know that you can take the duel charger with the two batteries connected and it fits perfectly in the stock 360 mount. I was trying to save some space in my bag and bam it just snapped in.
Does it allow in camera sharpness adjustment to reduce the digital sharpened look? Thanks
How much degrees FOV would you estimate the 1" module?
I wonder if two one-inch'ers could be suitable to do 4K/60fps VR180.
Nice video, thanks for the review , I am thinking about buying this for my channel but seems like it can be a pain to use in the case when you want to switch back and fourth.
Hi! I have untypical question. How about audio control in that camera? I mean audio through USB C to minijack adapter. Can it be controlled somehow? Is there any gain settings? Is input of good quality? I am searching for something very tiny that can be mounted on mic stand to record choir competitions with audio fed from Zoom F1. I know that Sony RX0 II will do the job and can be equipped with wide angle converter, but Insta 360 one R 1 inch seems to be much better at lowlight. However, with no control over audio, it is of little use to me. Do you have any insight on that?
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the adapter yet, so I can't help you with that.
I never thought how good are action cameras are until I saw the 14mm Full frame Equivalent
What settings would you suggest for night time motovlogging in the city?
Does it possible to put it into underwater housing for diving down to -40m like a GoPro. If I can put it underwater, I will = buy from your www 2 cameras with 2 housings
Yes, underwater housing is available for all mods.
Cool !
Great review! Compared to hero 8 and the 4k mod insta360 in terms of IQ, better stabilization and wider fov, which action camera will be better for vlogging?
4K mod is the best for vlogging because of the rotating screen and closer focus distance.
Darn, too bad about that 1m minimum focusing distance. Was about to buy one but that's kind of a deal breaker.
Yeah, it is a compromise, 4K mod has no issues with that.
Great review. Thank you. 😊👍
I wish it had the close-focus option for vlogging...
How would you rate the 1 inch mod again the osmo pocket for general IQ and low light performance? Can't decide if I should get the 1 inch or just bring the osmo for low light.
1" mod has better image quality and low light, but it is completely different type of footage and device, so wouldn't decide between those based on image quality.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks! I totally understand the devices have different intentions, but for me the 2 might be used similarly. Cheers and hope you put out more Insta360 content!
Great review on the Insta360 "1 mod. I have a question and do you think you will still use the 4k mod? Is there a use for the 4k mod in general?
Thank you! Basically the only advantages of 4K mod are smaller size and closer minimal focus distance. I will mostly be using 1-inch mod.
Perfect. Everything I needed to know!
Is there crop/resolution loss when using/applying the stabilization?
Exported video is still up to 5.3K. As you can see at 4:43 there is almost no crop.
Looks very interesting!
Does it produce mp4 files?
And is it possible to use it in Windows 10, using Magix Video de Luxe?
Yes, it is possible to shoot in .mp4. I am not familiar with that software, so I don't know.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks!
GoPro Hero 8 or the Insta360 one, considering the price point.
Or wait for for GoPro Hero 9.
P.s. I was having the GoPro Hero 7.
I prefer One R, especially if you want to edit the footage.
GoPro is water proof... Insta360 One R is not.
@@TomHofmann wrong.
@@TheHybridShooter Then you know more than the Insta360 support team. After destroying the Insta360 One R with 360 module with mounting case in the surf the answer Insta360 came back with was "the One R is not water proof. For water based activities such as surfing or kiteboarding you need to use the dive housing."
@@TomHofmann It is in the specs.
I always appreciate your thorough reviews!
Thank you!
Nice review! Any issues with this after a year of use? Especially in terms of workflow. Is it waterproof?
Thank you! It actually got a lot better after the FW updates. 4K mod and 360mod are water resistant.
Nice review!
Thank you!
Now this is more like it!
nice!
Nice video as usual ... Is the camera waterproof ? Mic input ?
Thank you! It is water resistant with 4K mod, but not with 1" mod. Housing is available, I have talked about that in the first One R video.
@@TheHybridShooter I just discovered this camera today with your video. Housing make 1" water resistant ??
Yes, you can find out more here: bit.ly/Insta360OneRTwinEdition
would love to see some fast action shots as well since it's action cam, also quick moving frames tend to cause bad video compression quality so that'd be interesting to see how it handles it
There are other reviews available on TH-cam that show those kinds of shots. This is mostly a review for non-action usage.
thank you for the review
You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
Have you had any issues with the one R stopping recording due to a "slow SD card" message? I have a few times even though I use top level SD cards. This is using the 4K mod. Cheers.
No, I use Sandisk Extreme and Ultra cards, and I have never had any issues with that.
@@TheHybridShooter I use the same cards but after about 35 mins of recording I got this message and it stopped. Heat issue do you think?
To be honest, I have never shot such long clip on One R, but given the size of sensor and bit rate, it is possible.
If you the the choice, excluding cost, which you choose, zv1-1 or this?
Those are completely different cameras, so it depends on what I would use it for,
The Hybrid Shooter if you were just looking for a small unobtrusive cam, not for action. If you personally had to pick just one
My personal choices are irrelevant because I am camera reviewer, so that wouldn't help you much. The main difference between these two is the FoV (26mm vs 14.4mm FF Eqv.) so I would recommend choosing one based on the FoV that you prefer.
Completely different reasons to buy either. If you like to take lots of pictures buy the Sony. The Insta360 One R 1 inch has a minimum focus distance of 90cm. That means you better put it on a selfie stick or your face will not be in focus. For multiuse the Sony would be better. If you need a small action type camera the Insta360 would be better.
Excellent review...
Thank you!
nice reviews as always
Thank you!
Sound quality?
There are samples in the first video.
Perhaps we can talk you into showing whether proxy editing on old gear will work on this footage, as I understand (and can easily see on my 720p phone that 4k looks better downsampled to 1080p than 1080 looks.
It must be fun to watch 5k on a worthy device, though. Macro bug stuff would be wild. (there's always some adapter)
Proxy editing works on any type of footage, there is no reason why it wouldn't on One R.
Action cam without action sports review, hmm
Only a small percentage of people use action cameras for sports. They are mostly used as a point and shoot or vlogging cameras.
@@TheHybridShooter I see I see, thanks for the reply! I'm still keen to know how's the stabilization works, I'm considering to get either this or to wait for Gopro 9 😅
Wish they'd just put 2 1" sensors on the thing so we could have the 360 part of the insta360, cmon.
That would be huge, very expensive and overheat a lot.
@@TheHybridShooter seems like a solvable problem though. The Ricoh Z1 has 2 1” sensors, but kind of useless video features...and a worse codec. Expensive? That will depend on market saturation, competition and demand. You could say a 500usd action camera is expensive too or a 1,3k phone is ridiculous...but if you find use for it professionally, it won’t make a difference. Or even for fun, why not^^ if there’s a market for it, they will buy it.
Not, really. At least not at this stage of technology. Z1 can only shoot UHD, which means that they didn't solve the overheating. Useful dual 1" 360 would be much large and much more expensive than 1K USD. I don't think that there is a market for 1000 USD + consumer 360 camera, people are mostly buying those for fun. Professionals use 360 camera from completely different price dimension.
What is the price for the LEICA camera
You can find out using google.
Compare it with gopro 9
I don't have Hero 9.
@@TheHybridShooter try to get one..
@@alpha_pixel_ I don't need another action camera, so I don't intend to do so.
@@TheHybridShooter for video purpose borrow one from someone that will be a great comparison.. no other video is there in TH-cam
@Alpha Pixel not possible, sorry...
I tried this camera and returned it back due to several issues. The first one is the video codec. It uses INSV format which is not compatible with many common video editing software like FCPX I use. It takes forever to export the INSV to MP4 in its Studio software. Secondly it takes several seconds to shoot a single still photo which is not tolerable for some action photography. Thirdly lots of the smart phone editing app themes are not useable on this camera, like the Timeshift hyperlapse feature. So even I like the IQ but I think it has much left for improvement in the future updates.
You can set it to shoot .mp4 out of the camera if you computer isn't capable of processing .insv files or use lower resolution. Exporting .insv files is very fast on my computer. For action shooting you can use burst mode to shoot multiple pictures. I'm not sure what do you mean by "phone editing app themes" but editing timelapses works fine on my smartphone.
The Hybrid Shooter Thanks for the response. But I still have some questions and maybe you can help me out. I know the 4K module can shoot mp4 direct but on this 1 inch module to shoot 5K video I don’t know where you can set the MP4 direct output. The only workaround is to change the .insv to .mp4 on the file name but all the FOV and stabilization are not applied. When I tried to export 5K video with FOV from insv to mp4 on my iMac it is slow and I saw same comments from different users. 5K is the main selling point of this camera so they should add mp4 output option. For shooting still I don’t need burst shooting I just don’t understand why it takes so long to complete the shooting of a single photo. Maybe it’s buffer too small? On the camera you can pick Timeshift shooting mode but when I tried to edit the clip on the app the Timeshift clips I shot cannot be found so the cool Hyperlapse feature does not apply to the one inch module which is confirmed by the manufacturer too. There are two more deal break issues. When I shoot timelapse or interval photos the camera does not support live view anymore. Also the live view is not showing the correct exposure change when the shutter speed is lower than 1/30s. Those are all my concerns and maybe I missed some steps to set the camera right? Thanks!
As HyBrid shooter said, processing the INSV files isn't bad on my one year old laptop. Now, 5.3K videos can take awhile for me. I think that is understandable. If you want to edit and get rid of the clips later, export to Prores. My only issue that nobody mentions is it will only record a maximum of 90 minutes and 1 second before it stops recording, then it takes 45 seconds to save the file, and starts back recording again.
Most natural looking stabilization that you have ever tested? It wobbles and flickers. Look at trees deformation at 5:17. Otherwise nice review. Thank you 💪
Thank you, I don't see any wobble there and don't know what do you mean by "flickers", so I can't comment on that.
@@TheHybridShooter I see flickering in background at 5:00.
I don't know what exactly is causing, but I don't think that it is stabilization. That was shot on very bright day and there is strong sunlight coming from behind the trees, so it may be something with automatic exposure.
Opinioning stabilisation while walking? Come on! Run with it... Hmmm?
I see no reason to do that.
@@TheHybridShooter I understand Your reasons but claiming it to be "the best You've ever seen" and testing it only while walking seems a bit funny. All in all it's an action camera and most people will buy for action footage.
@Mo2o Xplorers Not really, most people are actually buying action cameras to use them as point-and-shoot cameras.
Shooting while running is IMO not a reasonable thing to do, so I will not test that.
it's a pity not a gimbal camera
Sorry but it is not possible to understand your comment.
Put it on a gimbal. I don't know of a 1 inch sensor gimbal camera. It's a pity my Volkswagen isn't a Ferrari.
