Ben Claremont Awesome video and an excellent in-depth educational tutorial! I guess it’s time for me to buy one today. Amazon has it for $361 today. Keep up the great work!
Would you recommend this for a home builders interior real estate 360s PHOTOS not video? I want to compete with pro but cannot afford the pro price tag
Ben Claremont dear there is a discount going on Insta Website .. Offering Insta 360 one in Very good price... Should Insta 360 one Worth to buy or I have to go for One x . Kindly please reply 😊
hi Ben, th-cam.com/video/1w4FEnYj9tc/w-d-xo.html this was taken using one X. i exported using the desktop beta app. any reason why the vibration is so bad? flow state was checked.
Great review. I love the Frankenstein comment. Insta360 really has listened to its users and made an amazing camera which I am sure will even improve more with future updates.
Ben, appreciate the reviews and 360 info. I've been playing with 360 since 2016 when I picked up a LG 360 camera on a whim. In 2017 I got a MiSphere and pushed the green button with Chinese on it to install the app. Love the MiSphere. Now I've got a One X and I'm really liking the video quality improvement. Here are a few take-aways for me so far that I'd love to hear your comment on either here in comments or even in a video: 1. the photo quality seems to be pretty much the same as the MiSphere, despite more megapixels in the MiSphere. I haven't done extensive testing, but I have done some and so far they look too close to tell even when carefully looking. 2. the invisible selfie stick from insta 360 is pretty nice, but unfortunately has no integrated tripod, and does not collapse to an easily pocketable size. I'm back to using my Benro selfie stick which fits nicely in my photo backpack with the camera attached. There's a little more selfie stick in the shot than I'd like but convenience is much greater. I'd love a recommendation for a Benro style selfie stick without the mini ball head, if you know of anything. 3. you cannot export 5.7 k 360 videos from the app. That's been a surprise. I'm not used to a computer based workflow for 360. 4. the main improvement that Insta 360 should add to their app immediately is to let us get individual 360 frames from video. Exporting a frame of video, or even allowing projections and screenshots would be so helpful. I miss this feature of the MiSphere app so much. And since you can't export 5.7k video, there is no work-around without going to a PC. I have contacted Insta 360 about this. Since photo and video resolution on the One X are virtually the same, this single feature would increase usability of the camera dramatically. One other thing that I think you should change/modify in your commentary on 360 is the claim that 360 vr is not 3D. I know enough about cameras, 3D, etc, that I assumed for a long time that 360 photos in VR mode would offer no 3D effect, and that you'd just be looking at a 2D in 360. On a whim I decided to finally try out that VR mode and was delighted to see that it was 3D, and in fact the 3D effect, while less dramatic than the two lens type, was actually pleasingly either realistic, or at least reminiscent of the old view master experience I also remember from my childhood. I have done a good job of taking 360 photos and videos for my kids from trips I have taken and so the delight has gone to another level as I put the goggles on them and watch them turn around and look around in awe and even try to point or reach toward things in the virtual immersive photo I made. I think the 3D rendition of 360 photos in Google Photos or in the camera apps is actually quite delightful, and you should sell it. I wonder how many people are out there like me, who have a bunch of 360 content, goggles, and have never tried it. Also, we need to pressure Google Photos and others who support 360 photo and video to add a feature for moving forward from photo to photo without removing the device from the goggles. Then we'd truly be back to ViewMaster fun, but with a nearly endless supply of our own photos and videos. Even as it is, I've accidentally stayed up an hour later than I meant to going through my old photos and videos to see them fresh in the VR mode.
The 30min max clip length thing is an EU tax avoidance it would be classed as a camcorder over 30min, then would be taxed different same for all dslrs and other cameras.
God, I remember the days of Theta M15 back in 2015, 3 years later we have this little monster fully packed with almost everything we asked for back in the days :)
Always appreciate your Insta360 One X videos, cause you are one of the inspirations I found when researching starting my own 360 outdoor vlog and the Insta360 One X is the camera I bought, partially due to your videos (hey Insta360....give this guy a commission!). You'll see my first episode this December. Gracias Amigo.
I use 360 video for building inspections. I have the Fusion and the One x. As we all know the Fusion is a processing nightmare. I love that I can drop all the one X files onto the window desktop program and you can just play and view all of the files. No processing at all. Quality is fine for what I need. The one X is awesome.
@@BenClaremont Not sure who you are replying to but on Windows you cannot edit with the beta software just watch/view your recordings. You can render but kinda usless at this point.
Good price - still above what I can afford at present (c'mon Black Friday sales...) Great to see you re-visit the One X, Ben. Thanks for the extended reviews.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I got mine 2 days ago. I can really the potential with this type of camera for making videos on my own channel. Have you been able to get the venture case yet?
I used every days on my running time , but the next months the raining 🌧 will be starting here , I’m worry about that , on another hands go pro have a external plug for audio , 360 one x don’t have that ( the audio is critical for creators of content ) , if they develop audio via Bluetooth that will be extraordinary. Thank for your videos you are a best 360 guy
I just bought the ONE X, I like to do driving videos so I do need to record more than 30 mins, which is the only draw back of this camera for me, other than this, the free capture ability pretty much solve my ultimate driving video problem, panning while driving, previously I have to attach a gimbal along with the action camera and manually pan the gimbal to capture some nice skyscrapers or beautiful scenic roads with the controller in my hand while driving, which is distracting and dangerous, thank god for the one x, with the over capture feature, I can now pan the camera angle in the post production, how crazy is that! and also the hyper lapse driving look crazy good, anyone interested can check out my video to see what I mean
Ben can you do a video on tips and tricks for positioning a 360 video camera, and how to get the best results? Not having to decide in advance where to point the camera means where you put the camera is all the more important especially for action video!
What's up Ben. This is a Fantastic video. I've been a photographer for 20+ years, so these shots you're able to get are mind blowing to say the least. Well done. My One X is coming tomorrow, so I'm quite excited of the possibilities for this. I think it's great you are trying to answer as many questions on here as possible, so hopefully you see this question. What size selfie stick are you using, starting at 4:12 ? It looks like the 10' extended pole. I'm surprised I did not see this question yet. Thanks for making helpful and amazing content.
Thank you! After watching another video review ("Tony and someone else"), I found yours more reliable, No offense to theirs, I just found yours easier to make my choice. - Thanks again.
Thanks! Yeah Tony is a DSLR expert there’s no question about it.. but when it comes to 360 cameras he doesn’t understand enough about the workflow to be speaking about them as an expert. Glad it was helpful 👍
Hello Ben, can this cam shoot in standard mode(no wide angle, no 360, no fish eye etc)? If so, would you suggest it over One R 1”? Keep the great work mate! Thanks
Great review! I love the accessories available for this thing now too, like the nerf thing and underwater housing. Thinking about pulling the trigger...
@@BenClaremont It's a tough call! As impressive as it is, I'm really thinking about the Qoocam as well... I started my channel because I was super stoked to make 3D content, so the idea of having VR180 and mono 360 together in one compact unit is pretty appealing. I'm just not totally sold on the IQ of the Qoocam.
Thanks Ben! I just got my ONEX last week and I was wondering if you could share your experience about editing the 360 photos /videos in insta360 studio or Premiere. That will be awesome!
Great video but i did buy the Fusion because of the waterproof housing out of the box, and saw within tons of reviews that the image quality is better on the GoPro. But the waterproof out of the box was the biggest reason why i did buy the Fusion. One thing i really hate about the fusion is the fusion studio.
Also Fusion is waterproof but has lens refraction issues underwater making it mostly unusable without a housing. But it’s still good for the occasional splash of water 👍
Well done. I focus to DLSR for the moment. Magic Lantern Open Source firmware. So i will wait long time to see what other companies that go first for Android do. Problem i see is that 360 goes to much fast. When Insta bring first Android and not iPhone App i will take next year a closer look.
@@BenClaremont Did look some work of yours father and like to write him a christmas postcard... (hand written old fashion style) please seend me a mail with his adress... Do not forget :-)
For the price it's even an amazing action camera. The hyperlapse feature and phone friendly workflow it's enough to be top dog for the time being. (8-Nov-2018)
Hey man, loved the video. Can this camera be taken under water? What housing do you recommend. Have you done any other videos of 360 cameras since this video? Please do share in the comments
Hello, Ben! Please make a review how to perform a youtube stream with Insta360 OneX outdoors? What kind of additional equipment will be required to perform good quality streaming from outdoors.
Actually at 6:23 you can see the small tri-pod and you looking up to about the 10' range, so I guess I answered my own question of what stick you were using. It would be cool to let everyone know the gear you are using as to not mislead anyone on this cameras ability. Thanks for posting this great video.
ben , great video as Always...do you have a chance to test the system including the GPS data? i would love to see how that work and if it s more efficient than a fusion (is there a gps in fusion?) or better than a GoPro 7 gps?
Another Great review, enjoying taking photos and videos in 360 using one X, though still lot of features to explore. Also I would like to know, if you use any VR Headset to view 360 content? and any future videos on VR headsets?
I have a question about time and battery usage. I plan on using the Insta360 on my ultralight aircraft, which means I cannot access the camera for some time, maybe an hour or more. The cameras I presently use, I power them with a USB cable and an external power source.....they will run for hours that way. I can start the camera(s) and not worry about if and when the battery will die. So my question is.....Is it possible to operate the Insta360 camera using an external power source? I would zip tie the cable tightly to the selfie stick, to keep it out of the field of vision. Please help if you have an answer. Thanks.
Hey Ben, another question: to create your treadmill, I shot the right video. In the APP I can "track" myself - but I can not "turn" the earth. Could you please also make a short tutorial about it? That would be great...
Hey quick quick question. I'm a photographer and I would like to start shoot virtual tours for apartments, houses etc. for real estate agents, Although I'm on a budget... In your opinion is the... Insta 360 One X photo quality good enough as a starter and then upgrade later? By the way, your vids are great. I have learned so much from you. - Aaron
Still have the 360 One, wondering what the next one will be once I decide to upgrade. Seems whenever I get something I think is the best, something else comes out and almost makes me regret my previous choice.
Sorry to say but it’s going to keep happening.. 360 technology evolves FAST. But just because a new camera comes out it doesn’t mean the great features of your existing camera suddenly disappear 😉
Great - as always! 😊 Your video confirms my purchase decision - I have the camera for a good week. The workflow on the iPad is absolutely simple. Unfortunately, it is limited to FHD - and the desktop software offers 5.7 k export, but not the same options as the APP. After the camera is sure to be a hit - could you please create a tutorial on the PC workflow? Thanks in advance!
Love your videos man! Just have one question. Does one lens seem sharper than the other on your insta360 one X? Mine seems to have "blur" on one lens...
I have a question - When area you must shooting is aprox. 20metres and long aprox. 150metres - HOW I can (must) shooting for virtual 360" tour? Every 4 metres as crosswords or? Can some answer me? And in what MODE I shooting a property virtual tour - video mode or .jpeg mode? Can you write me a whole procedure step by step? Thank you!! Yes, with Insta360 One x camera
Just got my shipping notification Saturday. It says it will be here Monday, but last time I looked, it’s still at “shipping information has be sent”. So I doubt that’s right. Hoping to see it by the middle of this week.. or before the weekend :p
Ben Claremont jajaja i think im in the right way: Insta360 Air -> Charmander (for teaching my gff) Insta360 One -> Charmeleon (actual for usage) Insta360 One X -> Charizard (next one) jajajajaja
Hi Ben, great video. My OneX arrived just as I returned to London from a trip to Madrid, sigh. But to be honest I am new to 360 video/pics and I feel like I have bought a racing car and so far just learned how to fasten the seat belts, there's a lot to learn in order to get the best out of it. I have an older 'selfie stick' that almost disappears in shots, you seem to use a tiny tripod as well. Do you have any recommendations for these? Are you using both together in the shots where the camera is on-pavement but head height? How does that not fall over?! (My nightmare is the thing falling over onto concrete...! BoomShatter!!) Finally I have previously used Sony Vegas for editing on normal and some HD video, I expect I would have to do a lot of this 'reframing' and single clip editing (like 'time shifting') on individual clips before importing them into a package where they can all be strung together against a backing track for example. A video on a multi-clip film workflow would be most welcome. I am Subscribed and ready to go!
Hi Ben, PLEASE help me on 1 thing ... I just bought the insta360 one x but I don't know how to transfert my photos to my Imac ? when opening the files from micro SD card I can see each photo is 3 copy, I guess it's HDR, 1 overexposed 1 under-exposed and 1 normal.. Can you explain me PLEASE ! THANK YOU
I’m confused, I thought it could record for about an hour. Do you get more recording time by using a lower res? Or is the limit related to clip length?
Amongst all the 360 cameras, is this the best when it comes to night / very low light 360 pictures and videos? Secondly, is this by default a waterproof camera? Or does it require a housing ?
I may be being dumb but I need to ask. I know the 360 x shoots in 5.7k full 360 but what does it play back at. I know the 360 shoots at 4k but the play back certainly isn't displayed in 4k, more like 720p and looks horrible in shadowed areas or low light.? Question is am I going to get 4k play back or at least had???
Thanks for the informative video. Can you tell me if the Insta360 ONE X has an option that will auto correct the angle so that if it is slightly crooked (non level ground) it will auto correct that? A few cameras such as the samsung gear 360 has that option and I've found it very useful when working on rougher terrains. Thanks in advance!
@@BenClaremont Not really Ben. Maybe in 3 months. The Windows software is not useful. It's like you said this will take time. I'm buying an iPad tomorrow so I can get some use right away.
HI Ben, I have two years old - I want to primarily use it to make his 360 videos. What camera do you best recommend? Also any youtube video on how to make those videos. Thank you
Hey Ben! Help! One of the features you love is the removable battery ... I just received my Insta One X ... where did you find extra (replacement) batteries? I can't find them ...
Shall I wait for ozmo pocket or go with this one straight away? I just want to take random videos of places. Basically looking for lil bit of stabilization and clarity.
The Ricoh allows an external microphone (I think, or is it only a 3d thing?) so you would not need to record externally. All of your videos are made with more than one camera, the 360 and a DSLR (I presume) because you are recording your voice with the DSLR (or whatever it is). If you were using the Theta V could you dispense with the other hidden camera? Will it be possible to record voice via Wifi in the future, I wonder.
@@BenClaremontThank you very much. That Zoom certainly picks up luscious sound, and the NLE plugin pluraleyes is something I had never head of. Even so 100 for Zoom, 100 for the Rhode, 150 for the Pluralize plugin, and 200 USD to upgrade my Vegas so that it is compatible with the the plugin is er, 550. Since I just want to do a few virtual tours of my region, I wish that more 360 cameras had microphone jacks or bluetooth, or recording on the app like the Mevo Camera app (hearsay). Your content is brilliant either way. Thanks again.
Ben, great video. I'm curious to know, if I am going to do some Virtual Tours with images, would you still recommend the Theta V as the #1 choice or has the Insta360 One X finally surpassed it. T.I.A.!
Hi, great review! I have a question. Is the camera fully standalone? For example, can I just own the camera, set it and shoot without even owning a phone? Then download the files and edit them on my computer?
Hi there Ben, thanks and congrats on your great vids, spent the morning going through loads of em... Looks to me like the OneX is going to be a fantastic match for me, I hope you don't mind confirming that looking at my usage/priorities, which are a bit... specific.. ;) thanks in advance!! - I fly wingsuits, from planes and cliffs, at speeds regularly over 200km/h, with wind vibration.. For me, that would indicate a high fps at 4k (dont really need higher res) would give me crisper, smoother vid. This would put the OneX above the Virb360 or Fusion at 4k, right?? - Because of this usage and the speeds/vibration, stabilisation is super important to me - Flying over terrain sometimes, decent dynamic range is going to matter - Metrics like Garmin's are VERY useful to me, I even overlay my heart rate from a Garmin HR on my wrist, so ppl can tell when I sh!t my pants hahaha... - Form factor is a consideration, as anything too big is going to create some nasty wind resistance. Also, whatever I use is going onto a tripod screw on top of my helmet, or on my wrist, or on my chest... - I dont care much about photos, that's a bonus - I care least about sound, since all vids will have music over them, noone wants to hear 200kph winds lol :/ - I have powerful enough PC, but im lazy and inexperienced at editing and would rather get decent results without too much hassle if possible... I'm not too anally retentive about accuracy, but more about a nice sharp image at these high speeds - I have a slew of GoPro's already, from 3 to 5 Session (great for ankle etc), and a Garmin Ultra30. I use footage from different cameras on chest, forwards head, rear head, ankle at will during one vid, i'll chop around between them, I don't care which brand really.. - Up to a certain level (1k?) money isn't the issue... Hope u have the time to give me your 2c based on this list, and I'll happily order your recommendation from your link to earn u your fair dues!... Looks to me like the OneX, adding the GPS remote for metrics (handy remote given my use, too) would be the best current buy. Thanks again for taking the time, sorry for the length of the post mate! You can see some of my basic stuff on Insta at @jumpingjoseph All the best, keep up the great work!! Cheers!
That bullet time shot with those bubbles... Totally impressed man!! Excellent review! Ordered already!

Thank you! After watching another video review ("Tony and someone else"), I found yours more reliable, No offense to theirs, I just found yours easier to make my choice. - Thanks again.
Thanks! Yeah Tony is a DSLR expert there’s no question about it.. but when it comes to 360 cameras he doesn’t understand enough about the workflow to be speaking about them as an expert. Glad it was helpful 👍
Hello Ben, can this cam shoot in standard mode(no wide angle, no 360, no fish eye etc)? If so, would you suggest it over One R 1”? Keep the great work mate! Thanks
Great review! I love the accessories available for this thing now too, like the nerf thing and underwater housing. Thinking about pulling the trigger...
Do it!
@@BenClaremont It's a tough call! As impressive as it is, I'm really thinking about the Qoocam as well... I started my channel because I was super stoked to make 3D content, so the idea of having VR180 and mono 360 together in one compact unit is pretty appealing. I'm just not totally sold on the IQ of the Qoocam.
Best review, Ben! As always ;) Also in my wishlist now ;)
Awesome
Thanks for sharing Ben 😊 amazing video like always.
Thanks buddy!
Excellent review Ben. One X is wonderful. I love it.
Yes it is!
Thanks Ben! I just got my ONEX last week and I was wondering if you could share your experience about editing the 360 photos /videos in insta360 studio or Premiere. That will be awesome!
Cool- actually I have tutorials about both of those softwares on my channel already 👍
@@BenClaremont Ya! I am going to watch your videos from the first one! Thanks!!
Hi Ben . your link has a selfie stick included. Is that the "invisible" selfie stick? Shouldn't all selfie sticks be invisible?
Yeah.. it’s just a silly marketing name for it! Of course all are invisible, unless they are too thick for the camera being used
Awesome review, Ben. 😊👍
🍻
Hi Ben, can you recommend a monopod for the insta x that is not visible ??
Great video but i did buy the Fusion because of the waterproof housing out of the box, and saw within tons of reviews that the image quality is better on the GoPro. But the waterproof out of the box was the biggest reason why i did buy the Fusion.
One thing i really hate about the fusion is the fusion studio.
Also Fusion is waterproof but has lens refraction issues underwater making it mostly unusable without a housing. But it’s still good for the occasional splash of water 👍
Well done. I focus to DLSR for the moment. Magic Lantern Open Source firmware. So i will wait long time to see what other companies that go first for Android do. Problem i see is that 360 goes to much fast. When Insta bring first Android and not iPhone App i will take next year a closer look.
Thanks Daniela!
@@BenClaremont Did look some work of yours father and like to write him a christmas postcard... (hand written old fashion style) please seend me a mail with his adress... Do not forget :-)
thank you. great review.
Pleasure
For the price it's even an amazing action camera. The hyperlapse feature and phone friendly workflow it's enough to be top dog for the time being. (8-Nov-2018)
Agreed
Hey man, loved the video. Can this camera be taken under water? What housing do you recommend. Have you done any other videos of 360 cameras since this video? Please do share in the comments
Hello, Ben! Please make a review how to perform a youtube stream with Insta360 OneX outdoors? What kind of additional equipment will be required to perform good quality streaming from outdoors.
Hi Robert, will consider it
Actually at 6:23 you can see the small tri-pod and you looking up to about the 10' range, so I guess I answered my own question of what stick you were using. It would be cool to let everyone know the gear you are using as to not mislead anyone on this cameras ability. Thanks for posting this great video.
I always link the gear I use in the description. Even if I didn’t, it’s not misleading.. people can always ask 👍
Which computer is best to go with the insta360 program? Mac? PC? Needs something with card slot right?
ben , great video as Always...do you have a chance to test the system including the GPS data? i would love to see how that work and if it s more efficient than a fusion (is there a gps in fusion?) or better than a GoPro 7 gps?
Haven’t tested that yet
Good stuff!! Can i ask what selfie stick brand you got there...
Yes will release a video about it in the next 48 hours!
I want to buy a Insta tomorrow. Don't want to spend too much so thinking One R twin or One X ??? I'll be using it for Moto vlogging and MTB riding
Another Great review, enjoying taking photos and videos in 360 using one X, though still lot of features to explore. Also I would like to know, if you use any VR Headset to view 360 content? and any future videos on VR headsets?
Thanks! Nah I don’t use headsets much, I guess it’s just a time thing
I have a question about time
and battery usage. I plan on using the Insta360 on my ultralight aircraft, which
means I cannot access the camera for some time, maybe an hour or more. The
cameras I presently use, I power them with a USB cable and an external power
source.....they will run for hours that way. I can start the camera(s) and not
worry about if and when the battery will die. So my question is.....Is
it possible to operate the Insta360 camera using an external power
source? I would zip tie the cable tightly to the selfie stick, to keep
it out of the field of vision. Please help if you have an answer. Thanks.
Hey Ben, another question: to create your treadmill, I shot the right video. In the APP I can "track" myself - but I can not "turn" the earth. Could you please also make a short tutorial about it? That would be great...
Hey- you can do that in Insta360 Studio 👍
@@BenClaremont Insta 360 Studio refuses to work with the One X...?
Sick ass tiny world shot in what looked like an old graffiti riddled subway space.
🍻
Hey quick quick question. I'm a photographer and I would like to start shoot virtual tours for apartments, houses etc. for real estate agents, Although I'm on a budget... In your opinion is the... Insta 360 One X photo quality good enough as a starter and then upgrade later? By the way, your vids are great. I have learned so much from you. - Aaron
Ben, have you tried editing 360 in photoshop 19 vs 18? For some reason in 19 the photo goes super grainy and is awful, but 18 still works great.
I have and 2019 works fine for me
Still have the 360 One, wondering what the next one will be once I decide to upgrade. Seems whenever I get something I think is the best, something else comes out and almost makes me regret my previous choice.
Sorry to say but it’s going to keep happening.. 360 technology evolves FAST. But just because a new camera comes out it doesn’t mean the great features of your existing camera suddenly disappear 😉
Is the One X offering cylindrical 360 photos?
Great - as always! 😊
Your video confirms my purchase decision - I have the camera for a good week. The workflow on the iPad is absolutely simple.
Unfortunately, it is limited to FHD - and the desktop software offers 5.7 k export, but not the same options as the APP.
After the camera is sure to be a hit - could you please create a tutorial on the PC workflow? Thanks in advance!
Hey- I think they’re working towards creating similar abilities with their desktop software as the mobile app! Will post a video when I know more
I'm looking forward to it - and by then I'm collecting footage ... 😊
Another great video ! I would change my fusion if only.. there were not the red dot of death on this cam :]
Thanks- did you notice it in this video?
@@BenClaremont yes at 4:13 on the left
Great Video. 😊
🍻
Love your videos man! Just have one question. Does one lens seem sharper than the other on your insta360 one X? Mine seems to have "blur" on one lens...
I have a question - When area you must shooting is aprox. 20metres and long aprox. 150metres - HOW I can (must) shooting for virtual 360" tour? Every 4 metres as crosswords or? Can some answer me? And in what MODE I shooting a property virtual tour - video mode or .jpeg mode? Can you write me a whole procedure step by step? Thank you!! Yes, with Insta360 One x camera
youve sold me on it... however i still have the fusion!!
Two cameras are better than one 😜
hmmmm 720 demensions... i like the way you think@@BenClaremont
I sold mine because i use the fusion 99% of the time. Still better video quality. I also like the photo's more. I dont mind the more complex workflow.
agree to all u said. Great camera.... Favorite feature is the hyperlapse... :-D
Cool 😎
Just got my shipping notification Saturday. It says it will be here Monday, but last time I looked, it’s still at “shipping information has be sent”. So I doubt that’s right.
Hoping to see it by the middle of this week.. or before the weekend :p
Be patient.. it will be worth it 😜
Great review. 360 cam tech is movin along so fast. Good Times.
Yes it is!
well I'm very curious what artists will do with it. Maybe an interesting topic for a video Ben ?
SO informative, thanks Ben!
Is it waterproof in any way though, can I use it snowboarding?
It’s not waterproof but they have an underwater case you can buy :)
Ben Claremont jajaja i think im in the right way:
Insta360 Air -> Charmander (for teaching my gff)
Insta360 One -> Charmeleon (actual for usage)
Insta360 One X -> Charizard (next one)
jajajajaja
Nailed it!!!
Super DOPE camera and review.
🍻
Hi Ben, great video. My OneX arrived just as I returned to London from a trip to Madrid, sigh. But to be honest I am new to 360 video/pics and I feel like I have bought a racing car and so far just learned how to fasten the seat belts, there's a lot to learn in order to get the best out of it.
I have an older 'selfie stick' that almost disappears in shots, you seem to use a tiny tripod as well. Do you have any recommendations for these? Are you using both together in the shots where the camera is on-pavement but head height? How does that not fall over?! (My nightmare is the thing falling over onto concrete...! BoomShatter!!)
Finally I have previously used Sony Vegas for editing on normal and some HD video, I expect I would have to do a lot of this 'reframing' and single clip editing (like 'time shifting') on individual clips before importing them into a package where they can all be strung together against a backing track for example. A video on a multi-clip film workflow would be most welcome. I am Subscribed and ready to go!
Hi Nick- to answer your questions I have videos on both topics. They’re called ‘best 360 monopod yet?’ And ‘Insta360 Studio full tutorial’ 👍
Such a great review. Thank you.
Thanks Sean!
Hi Ben, PLEASE help me on 1 thing ... I just bought the insta360 one x but I don't know how to transfert my photos to my Imac ? when opening the files from micro SD card I can see each photo is 3 copy, I guess it's HDR, 1 overexposed 1 under-exposed and 1 normal.. Can you explain me PLEASE ! THANK YOU
I’m confused, I thought it could record for about an hour. Do you get more recording time by using a lower res? Or is the limit related to clip length?
Yeah it’s clip length limit.. you can always just button on again when it stops
Ben Claremont sounds like something that can change with a firmware update.
Amongst all the 360 cameras, is this the best when it comes to night / very low light 360 pictures and videos?
Secondly, is this by default a waterproof camera? Or does it require a housing ?
It’s among the best for low light and no it’s not waterproof.. definitely would have mentioned if it was
GoPro Fusion is still the best. The stitch lines on the oneX is visible and poor image quality. I just love the software. Wish GroPro was as good.
👍
I may be being dumb but I need to ask. I know the 360 x shoots in 5.7k full 360 but what does it play back at. I know the 360 shoots at 4k but the play back certainly isn't displayed in 4k, more like 720p and looks horrible in shadowed areas or low light.? Question is am I going to get 4k play back or at least had???
Thanks for the informative video. Can you tell me if the Insta360 ONE X has an option that will auto correct the angle so that if it is slightly crooked (non level ground) it will auto correct that? A few cameras such as the samsung gear 360 has that option and I've found it very useful when working on rougher terrains. Thanks in advance!
I love mine. Wish I could use it (Windows/Android).
It’s compatible with those platforms 😉
@@BenClaremont Not really Ben. Maybe in 3 months. The Windows software is not useful. It's like you said this will take time. I'm buying an iPad tomorrow so I can get some use right away.
HI Ben, I have two years old - I want to primarily use it to make his 360 videos. What camera do you best recommend? Also any youtube video on how to make those videos. Thank you
Yes this is a great choice and check out my channel for all the tips you need 👍
Is it rugged enough to survive action-cam situations like skiing and mountain biking? It looks fragile and the ports are exposed. Thanks!
Yes but you might want to consider the adventure case for extra security
Hi Ben ! Does the selfie stick of the One X is also invisible with the mi sphere ? THX
I think so!
Hi Ben. Do you recommend this camera for virtual tours instead of the Ricoh theta V?
Yes I do 👍
I've seen some complaints about the one X in terms of battery life, especially in cold environments (eg, ski fields). What are your thoughts?
There’s a cold weather battery that will avoid this
Will editing using android app work on android 7 phone ?
Sorry not sure
Please tell me what microphone system you are using. How is that captured into your videos? please tell me what you got there.
See my video ‘how I record clean sound’
Hey Ben! Help! One of the features you love is the removable battery ... I just received my Insta One X ... where did you find extra (replacement) batteries? I can't find them ...
You should be able to find them on Amazon as well as the Insta360 website :)
Shall I wait for ozmo pocket or go with this one straight away? I just want to take random videos of places. Basically looking for lil bit of stabilization and clarity.
This one :)
How is the build in HDR mode compare to theta v? I only want make virtual tour. Would you still recommend this over theta v?
Yes I would.. I think it’s about the same
The Ricoh allows an external microphone (I think, or is it only a 3d thing?) so you would not need to record externally. All of your videos are made with more than one camera, the 360 and a DSLR (I presume) because you are recording your voice with the DSLR (or whatever it is). If you were using the Theta V could you dispense with the other hidden camera? Will it be possible to record voice via Wifi in the future, I wonder.
That’s a spatial audio mic with the Ricoh, which picks up ambient noise but not really dialogue. Please watch my video ‘how I record clean sound’
@@BenClaremontThank you very much. That Zoom certainly picks up luscious sound, and the NLE plugin pluraleyes is something I had never head of. Even so
100 for Zoom, 100 for the Rhode, 150 for the Pluralize plugin, and 200 USD to upgrade my Vegas so that it is compatible with the the plugin is er, 550.
Since I just want to do a few virtual tours of my region, I wish that more 360 cameras had microphone jacks or bluetooth, or recording on the app like the Mevo Camera app (hearsay).
Your content is brilliant either way. Thanks again.
Ben, great video. I'm curious to know, if I am going to do some Virtual Tours with images, would you still recommend the Theta V as the #1 choice or has the Insta360 One X finally surpassed it. T.I.A.!
Will compare them ASAP 👍
Can you use a regular selfie stick? Or it will be visible in the video.
Nah you need a 360 specific selfie stick due to the issue you mentioned
nice video Ben, as always. Could you please tell the brand of the little tripod you used during the HDR graffiti shot? Thanks. M
Thanks Mike- will release a video in the next 48 hours about it!
Hi, great review! I have a question. Is the camera fully standalone? For example, can I just own the camera, set it and shoot without even owning a phone? Then download the files and edit them on my computer?
Yes you can
Hi there Ben, thanks and congrats on your great vids, spent the morning going through loads of em... Looks to me like the OneX is going to be a fantastic match for me, I hope you don't mind confirming that looking at my usage/priorities, which are a bit... specific.. ;) thanks in advance!!
- I fly wingsuits, from planes and cliffs, at speeds regularly over 200km/h, with wind vibration.. For me, that would indicate a high fps at 4k (dont really need higher res) would give me crisper, smoother vid. This would put the OneX above the Virb360 or Fusion at 4k, right??
- Because of this usage and the speeds/vibration, stabilisation is super important to me
- Flying over terrain sometimes, decent dynamic range is going to matter
- Metrics like Garmin's are VERY useful to me, I even overlay my heart rate from a Garmin HR on my wrist, so ppl can tell when I sh!t my pants hahaha...
- Form factor is a consideration, as anything too big is going to create some nasty wind resistance. Also, whatever I use is going onto a tripod screw on top of my helmet, or on my wrist, or on my chest...
- I dont care much about photos, that's a bonus
- I care least about sound, since all vids will have music over them, noone wants to hear 200kph winds lol :/
- I have powerful enough PC, but im lazy and inexperienced at editing and would rather get decent results without too much hassle if possible... I'm not too anally retentive about accuracy, but more about a nice sharp image at these high speeds
- I have a slew of GoPro's already, from 3 to 5 Session (great for ankle etc), and a Garmin Ultra30. I use footage from different cameras on chest, forwards head, rear head, ankle at will during one vid, i'll chop around between them, I don't care which brand really..
- Up to a certain level (1k?) money isn't the issue...
Hope u have the time to give me your 2c based on this list, and I'll happily order your recommendation from your link to earn u your fair dues!... Looks to me like the OneX, adding the GPS remote for metrics (handy remote given my use, too) would be the best current buy.
Thanks again for taking the time, sorry for the length of the post mate! You can see some of my basic stuff on Insta at @jumpingjoseph
All the best, keep up the great work!!
Cheers!
Yes would recommend One X 👍
