@@OttoJulian_ without reframing it though can I just use 150 mode and then shoot a video straight up? I need something Similar to my iPhone camera. My iPhone keeps overheating when I’m filming in the sun
I would like to ask for a waterproof recording. Is it suggested to use it with a waterproof case (if it exist, I haven't looked for it yet) on the other case, what suggestions you advice me to take to make a good waterproof recordings? Thank you in advance!
This camera is waterproof down to 10m or 33ft without a case. If you are going deeper or close to those numbers it’s better to use a case that they sell
With the Insta 360 2x how do I download or share a video where a person can view it on their telephone in a virtual reality type setting where they can move the telephone around and the picture will move around with it.
My understanding is you have to have a cell phone to activate the x2 and its picky about what brand of phone you have. My question is can you use an Android tablet device that's not a cell phone? If not which cell phones do you recommend.
Well not only for activation but to edit as well. You can edit on your computer but the app on the phone will have all the features. You can use it on a tablet, assuming the tablet can run the insta360 app
@@OttoJulian_ Think you for the response I really appreciate that. My x2 is on order and will arrive on the 15th. So your saying I will need a cell phone to activate my x2 , as a android tablet will not work. I am talking camera activation not editing.
@@OttoJulian_ Negative, I don't currently own a cell or a tablet and am researching prior to purchase of one or the other. I have installed studio on my PC. I really do not want a cell phone and hope to use a tablet instead. Looks like if I get a 64bit tablet with a current version of android, blue tooth and wifi it should work. I contacted insta360 support via email with the same question and the reply was try one and see if it works. Not vary helpful.
Yeah if you still don't have a tablet that will make it easier and harder at the same time. Get something up to date, I recommend getting either something like an iPad or a tablet from Samsung
Thanks for the tutorial. Small question- I just bought the X2 recently. I shot a video from my motorcycle but it plays back in slow motion in the camera OR after editing on the Insta360 software (on my Laptop) also it plays back in slow motion. I had set it to 3K-100. Can you kindly advice is there anything I need to do in the camera or editing stage to bring it to normal speed?
you can change the speed to make it faster and match the correct or desired speed. If you use a regular editor it will be easier, I would open the file on a 24fps timeline, then "interpret footage" or set your 3K video clip to 24fps, and once you drag the video to the main timeline change the speed to 400X
Hi, stabilization is done on the edit. Don't worry about orientation, as long as you are on 360 you will have a complete view when you go to the editing
Great video! Thanks :) What is the best way to take a photo from the end of a long selfie stick to then adjust later? I can't really use voice as I am on Android (so no earbuds) and shouting to the camera might not be a good idea. Using the phone app might not be good if I am hanging on to the stick over an edge and do not want to drop it!! So is there another way? Do I have to try and grab the 360 photo from a video that I start before I extend the selfie stick? Or can I somehow take a photo? I am very new and do not quite figure this one out. Thanks!
Such a good video! Thank you! I just bought the insta360 one x2 and navigated through the menus with your help ! I noticed that the camera starts heating in my hand, just by navigating through the menu. Is that normal?
@@OttoJulian_ thank you very much for your response. Now i’m following your second video, you give a lot of information in the right video length. You’re very good and should do more tutorials :)
Thank you very much for your videos. One question, what is the minimum phone configuration compatible with Insta360 One X2 and its app? I have OPPO Reno 4 Pro , Snapdragon 720, RAM 8 GB.
hello Ashley, I don't have a full list but I'm pretty sure your phone works according to the specs I found online. Try downloading their insta360 app before you buy the camera itself
Really useful tutorial, thanks for this. I just picked one of these up and this is an invaluable resource. One comment is that the device orientation you mention at the end of the video doesn't seem to be visible any longer. Is that due to a firmware update?
Hi, I'm still considering this camera. Will it work with a Chromebook and Moto g7 power phone, do you think? It is Android 10, but it doesn't have a gyroscope nor a magnetometer. Thanks
chromebook to edit the videos? I don't think you can do that. The phone should be ok to use with this camera, you don't need the gyroscope as the camera will do everything, but you need something to edit the files after you make the videos.
Yeah, but like I said, editing can be done on both (PC or smartphone). The editing on a PC is limited, you don't get the special features, just basic editing
I want to be able to send my sister a 360 video where she can move her telephone around and see different parts of the video. Do I need to do that through a computer? Or how do I do that?
I think you can send her the original file from the insta360 (it’s 2 files per video) and then she can open them using the 360 app either on the phone or on her PC (also using the insta360 app)
Your video is so helpful ! I now have the camera - yay ! I am confused about the stabilization. Is it only available when shooting with just one camera not in 360? Do you set it in the editing ?
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks so much. I am going to film for the first time tomorrow. I am just taking it one step at a time to enjoy and learn it and not get overwhelmed with all the possibilities. It’s an amazing camera.
Got a new subscriber in me! You explain everything in great detail and so easily!!!! One quick question for you.....did I understand you correctly that I could connect my camera to my samsung tablet (where I have my insta 360 app downloaded) directly with a usb cable and do my editing there???? I much prefer to edit on a larger tablet rather than my phone.....my eyes aren't as good as they once were!!! LOL
Yeah, Otto is a master filmmaker! I can't afford to buy all the tech he reviews, but I watch his videos to see how he does his editing, and I try to learn from that. :-)
Sir, please guide me,I Have insta360OneX2,when I swipe to screen where -General, bluetooth wakeup, auto power off,Anti Flicker, Language,gyro calibration screen comes but it is not going back to back menu, Screen is constantly show the same How to Go back to the normal .
@@OttoJulian_if you have a video on insta we need to download it so that it is saved locally and the results are also better, but the problem is the video that is still on the camera after downloading to local the results are still the same broken and not better
A few minutes to get used to it? I have had mine for nearly a week and it will take me several more weeks to understand it. The touch screen is too small both for my eyes and my fingers and the instructions contain too much jargon. I will master it, but in my own time, and despite all the obstacles.
As an example, I thought that I had turned on voice control, several times, but it does not respond, and the icons are too tiny to see, even with a magnifying glass.
yeah, I agree, it's a bit too complicated and I was maybe lucky or too geeky to get used to it rather fast. but just between you and me (and anyone reading this) I hated this device during my first hours.

Sorry about that. Go to the settings on the camera, second page use the lower-right icon, and select "screen auto sleep". Download the app and pair the camera with the phone. Once connected using the app should be straight forward (to control the camera)
