I find these videos really helpful, especially because otherwise you only find videos with the 360° or 1 inch lens and rarely any with the standard lens. Thanks for this
Thank you for this video. This is the first time that I seen your channel and just purchased the One RS. I find it a bit overwhelming as it is the first action camera that I have purchased. After watching most others channels, I greatly appreciate your patient and descriptive explanation of what you recommend and why you recommend it. I will primarily use the unit on my motorcycle but I plan to watch other videos you produce and rewatch this one many times (and pause as I make changes in my unit). Thank you very much.
@@Subhrajeet_sutar I’m only a few weeks into owning my 360 One RS, but I never saw issues from people who have been using for two years or more, you’ll be fine! 😀👏
Thank you for the video. For a new user of Insta360, your video is the most helpful one compared to other videos I've watched so far on youtube. One question is, does the tracking function in the insta360 app work on videos taken by the One RS with 4K boost lens? I use the camera to shoot dance videos in indoor settings. So the target object will be moving and the tracking feature will be convenient. I am comparing this One RS with the 360 with 1 inch sensor. I hesitate on the 1 inch one since it's more complicated to edit 360 videos in post production...but I am sure the tracking function works on 360 videos,
Great video and explanations! One thing though....at about 09:46 you state that if you set the ISO at 800, and the scene is brighter, the camera will adjust the ISO downward (say to 100). I have tested this out, and it seems if you set it at manual and 800, it will stay there no matter what. Is there a setting I am missing???
Thank you for your feedback. I will revisit this aspect to confirm that. If this is the case now (perhaps after the newest firmware this has changed) then I would recommend setting the ISO to Auto while still setting the other settings as shown in this video.
Unfortunately, I watched this video, changed the ISO settings and then went out to record a video (Extreme Sandbox) operating an excavator, and all of the footage was unusable. If you could - it would be worth putting a correction (text overlay) on the video so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Great video otherwise!!
I had the same experience. The manual/auto setting at the top applies to both SS and ISO at the same time (not individually). I would suggest manual mode, setting ISO to 100 and then selecting a SS of “Auto”?
Lots of good tips here. I do think that "cinematic" (per the title) implies a 180 degree shutter, though, not auto. So you would set the shutter to 1/60 for 30fps or 1/48 for 24fps. Higher shutter speeds are going to look "action-cam-like" rather than "cinematic". The down-side is you have to take care with image stabilisation because digital stabilisation (as opposed to stabilisation that works by moving the lens or the sensor) can cancel the motion but it won't cancel the blur, so you end up with random blurry frames if there's a lot of stabilised motion.
Yes indeed. The reason I could not suggest the 180 degree rule though is because this camera did not appear to have any ND filters for it at the time and without ND filters those shutter speeds of 1/48 and 1/60 would only be usable in low lighting. You are also correct about electronic image stabilization and the need for crisp, sharp frames with faster shutter speeds for EIS to function properly.
Thanks for your video, but i have some question To take videos in portrait mode ( 1080 x 1920) whether it's the same as a cellphone, we have to rotate the camera or there is a setting in camera or apps
GOOD BOY 👏 exhaustive tutorial !! However, I add a DEFECT that I found and I i to check video recordings, the synchronization between action cam and iPhone (latest generation) is out of phase. In other words, the app sometimes delays the shooting and sometimes freezes the recording. It is therefore very difficult 😞 to operate with precision.
Brilliant video, there is one thing I disagree with, using a 24-frame timeline, will not be smooth when adding 100 frame rate footage as frames will have to be dropped, the simple solution is to change to 25 frames as your filming rate and use a 25 frame timeline because 100 / 25 = 4, whereas 100 / 24 = 4.166 and for smooth playback framerates must be multiples of the timeline framerate or frames will be dropped to compensate. All The Best... Ken
Yes, you have a valid point with this. It’s unfortunate the Insta360 One RS does not have 120 frames per second available. If it did that would translate nicely on a 4K timeline. Thank you for your feedback!
Ok so I broke down I got this on sale. Got it for 257 dollars (4k version) , the insta 360 r series case. Included a free 114 cm invisible selfie stick and free extra battery. Question, the 360 horizon lock and float state can now be done in post or camera right?
First of all, great price you got this for. You can set the horizon lock setting on the camera, but you do have to use the studio app or phone app in post to apply the horizon lock. You do have to first change the setting to "post" on the camera.
Thanks for that video. Unfortunately I found out that I can't put the settings from auto to manual separately. By other words, I can have all to auto or all to manual. :(
What about horizon level in standard video mode with 4k boost lens? even in insta 360 i don't find this option...I found only in clip made by timeshift...so you can't change fov later on for standard video as i understand,right? bad discover for me :( and about 6k i see that the stab does not work as well as 4k..but the menu does not say that is not available as you said
Horizon leveling should be available in most of the 4K modes but you are correct that there is no built-in stabilization in 6K mode as I mentioned. 6K footage has to be stabilized when editing.
@@GreatDayForAHike no its not available unless you capture footage in post mode (with flow state off) is not available straight in the camera as gopro instead did. Disappointed about that :(
Frame rate and ISO is tied together in either auto or manual. I cannot change them independently of each other. If one goes manual the other does as well. Is there something in the setting im missing? I know I can do that on my DJI action2 but not in the insta. Thanks.
After you set frame rate when you go to ISO try scrolling all the way to the left (before ISO 100) and see if it will let you set it to Auto there. Then go back and check that your frame rate stayed where you want it to.
Oh gotcha. Try sliding the shutter speed setting all the way over as well to the very last setting on the menu which should be Auto (this would be Auto within the shutter speed menu). See if that makes it possible for you to change that independently of each other.
The single most versatile video setup would be 50fps with a locked 1/60th of a second shutter. This will film in any country without any flicker. It will provide smooth natural looking HFR for vlogs and reality-type content, while you can also just drop half the frames for """cinematic""" content and the motion blur won't be too much sharper than it should be at 1/60 compared to 1/48 or 1/50. You can also just slow it down 2x for slow motion within a 50p timeline without having to change to a dedicated slow-motion setup, it'll just have more motion blur than it needs for slowed footage. Though I have a question about the anti-flicker thing... Does it lock you out of shutter speeds and/or frame rates that would conflict with the region you select, or does it do some other voodoo to allow any shutter speed and frame rate combination in any region?
Thanks for your feedback and the details you shared. My understanding is the anti-flicker simply controls which frame rates are allowed to be selected in the menus.
@@GreatDayForAHike Is there any way to turn off that mode and allow all frame rates at once? I typically like 50/100 for dedicated slowmo and 30 for general recording, but I'd hate to have to go into 2.5 menus to change it.
I recorded some videos in the 6k wide screen mode with the settings that you recommended. For some reason when I put my SD card into my laptop and watch the video in Intsa360 studio it lags and has very low quality?
If you’re watching these videos directly from the MicroSD card this is normal. High-quality video files like this will usually not play directly from the MicroSD card due to the bitrate. You’ll typically need to copy them to your computer first before playing. You’ll also want to make sure you are watching the video file and not the preview file. These can easily get mixed up due to the file naming structure being similar between the two.
I want to put this camera inside car front glass which stabilization mode you will recommend ? Also how about heat? If i want to record when outside is over 25 . Also low light car driving only 4k and 30 fps maybe 50 but i prefer 30 . This camera is there where you are for 299 when gopro 11 is almost twice this price but seems this insta batteries can handle longer recording.
hola amigo, estoy súper contento con la cámara. espero mañana poder salir para grabar algo. Me han ayudado mucho tus vídeos, espero pronto poder incluirla en mis videos de Drones en mi canal.
In video mode, manual option, can you lock the shutter speed and have the ISO auto, basically shutter priority mode? If so, can you set a min max ISO range? For example, shooting at 24 fps, shutter speed locked at 1/48 second, and ISO range from 100 to 800. In manual mode, can you lock the ISO to a single vanue? Thanks
Hi, maybe you know what the minimum focusing distance of this module is? And is it possible to set the focus point on this module (4K BOOST LENS) yourself.
Nice review! I am going on week three with the Insta360 ONE RS twin camera with the lovely one-inch Super ELMAR Leica lens. I made an ordering error and didn't understand that Insta360 sells non-360 degree lenses - oops. It appears Insta360 may be another $400.00 of my money next year. Your background music was nice, but a little too loud and annoying at time for it was the same tune again and again.
And remember, all, don't be a slave to the 180 rule, or ISO limits. And remember stabilization requires a decently high frame rate. These artificial limits are good guidelines, but sometimes you have to run well outside these guidelines. And it is OK. Happy shooting.
If you want better looking cinematic video: 4K 60FPS. Linear view (not ultra wide) --> Manual mode: -0.5 EV (only in outdoor harsh sunlight), ISO 400MAX, Standard Color, Adjust WB to you lighting conditions.
Yes, the phone with the app seems to be a critical aspect of setting up this camera which I see as an unfortunate negative. It seems like a lot of action camera makers are going this route now to ensure the camera starts off on the newest firmware and to avoid initial problems but it’s still a bit of a negative.
