Again...for a novice tech junkie and hobby vid/photo guy...thank you...your reviews are the best. Easy to follow, down to earth for us less knowledgeable, and just down right entertaining. I am still a big fan of the GOPRO cams...7 and 8 at this time. Thank you.
David Manning just know that you are appreciated by this Kentucky novice. FYI...love the shirt you wear...be a good human. I say that in my middle school class...credit to this TH-camr I follow. Haha
Hey David! great video as always. One small thing though, with the One R, you can import the file directly to Premiere, since they added a plug in which you can download in their website. I work with premiere and One R and I don't export the files beforehand :) cheers!
oh man !!! u literally dissected every detail, way to go bud that was the cool comparison I have seen yet, right down to lens problem and file output problem and last time I commented when u were in 40k subs at giveaway video but now 60 k subs this is one heck of a journey, looking forward to ur 100k subs.
Thanks Ajinkya! So stoked that everyone is digging it so much, it was a ton of work, so super rewarding! Like I said, I can only make videos and you guys sharing these out is why the numbers are going up. I appreciate you all so dang much!
I’ve watched a ton of comparison videos on cameras and this is by far my favorite one I’ve ever seen. Not saying I want you to do comparisons all the time but you for sure nailed it and blow others out of the water.
Content owner of GoPro Max and GoPro Hero 9 Black. Having two cameras is still better than paying for a single system with different mods imho. I can have one recording a different angle and another doing a different thing. switching mods can be a hassle. I like what insta360 is doing though, they will only make GoPro products better. That's what having a competition does. Great video, David. Thanks for reviewing and making videos for us.
Stumbled upon your channel while researching action cameras. I thought maybe this was just another tech channel trying to make it, but the more videos I watched the more I appreciated them. Keep it up! Subscribed
Hi - really solid video congrats. I have myself been looking to get action camera for video shooting. After watching countless reviews I knew I want 360 camera even though it sacrifices on resolution/quality a little bit - it’s much much better that you can reframe footage after it’s been shot - nothing that i can miss now, no worries whether something has been framed well. In the end I chose GoPro max for reasons you didn’t mention: insta360 R to mount you need to put a special bracket on - normally not big deal unless you want to change battery then you need to disassembly camera module the main module so juggling with loads of pieces for something that should be quick and easy - risk of damaging lenses increases here greatly. Secondly underwater 360 module is unusable doesn’t stitch properly vs GoPro being much better and having option of hero mode as well. Thirdly - auto horizon - GoPro has got this option insta doesn’t so that helps in post production greatly. Lastly coloring and postproduction app - multiple reviews claim GoPro to have an edge - coloring is obvious one potentially saves a step in postproduction
GREAT REVIEW! Well.... I have two GoPro 7 Blacks and now I learn that the batteries will work in the GoPro 8, but you loose the best stabilization mode of the 8. So if I upgrade I would need a whole new set of batteries. Well then, now I might as well consider another manufacture as either way I’d have to buy a new set of spare batteries. What’s the batterie cost and capacity / life difference between the two? Do I end up having to spend more or carry more for a days worth of video shooting while out back. What’s the charge time like between the two...
Thanks man and great questions Richard! The tough thing is that those GoPro 7 Blacks are just so damn good! I've even said before that if someone has the 7, they shouldn't even worry about upgrading to the 8. With that setup, I would say to pickup the ONE R Twin Edition and keep at least one of those cameras for a second angle. I mainly run the ONE R in 360 mode. I would say just buy that, but for $50 more it's an easy add to just get the Twin Edition and have the 4K mod as an option. Batteries are about the same price, but the ONE R batteries are a bit tough to get your hands on right now. Capacity and run times are about the same as well. I feel like all of these companies are hitting a wall in run time with battery capacity in such a small form factor. I'm not sure about charge times, but I'll check it out!!!
Don´t do watersports with an Insta 360 without a case. I have both (gopro max and Insta 360 one R) . Water gets inside the one R and if you use a case, it gets foggy and there´s a lot of reflections as it´s made of plastic...I normally use the GoPro max without a case (there's not even a case made by GoPro) because it´s not necessary and the footage quality and sound is much better. Out of the water I prefer the Insta
Currently I am a GoPro 7 Hero guy looking for a 360 Action Camera for videoing motorcycle rides. Watched a lot of GoPro Max and Insta360 R & Insta360 X. Your review puts me strongly in the Insta360 R marketplace. Thank You
Would you really trust taking this in the ocean/salt water without a case? Each module is a point of failure for leaking. People report leaks with the GoPro hero 8 and the DJI osmo action. I have both. Taking the modules apart and swapping them may quickly weaken the seals. If you get hit by a wave the water pressure can be really strong, and a salt water leak is usually a death sentence for electronics. In fresh water I would be less concerned. The 1 inch sensor is interesting for underwater use, although the minimum focus distance may not be close enough in some instances. I wonder if the battery modules are more expensive than batteries for GoPros and osmo actions. Great that someone is innovating. What is the file size of the proprietary format compared to mp4 video files?
Hi Dave, congrats on another fab video. I did notice when you compare 360 footage, this was shot at different locations. A better test is shooting in the exact same moment. I also feel like the quality will be somewhat determined by if the main action is taking place on the stitch line. Thoughts?
Just bought Insta360 ONE R TWIN edition and I am very happy with it. I may buy even the drone, the modularity is amazing (but not for everybody). I am looking forward to future upgrades. I have also older Hero camera and these are great as well.
BUT you can now also connect Bluetooth headphones / mics to the One R for better audio. Also won't you still save more money buying an extra core and battery to use with your second lens, giving you 2 cameras?
This review is the best. I love the way you compare their feature. Unlike the other reviews of Insta 360 vs GoPro Max which obviously bias even though they say they are not being paid by whoever ever lol.
@@DavidManningvlog Definitely the Insta360. I want to use it for capturing video from the stage during shows. Placing it in the center of the stage in front of the drums would give a ton of flexibility in footage. If the only issue is audio, I can pull sound off the board and sync in post super easy.
Great video man, I know how much hard work this was, well done and congrats on 60k. Funnily enough I'm mid way through filming a video on why you should buy an Osmo Action ahead of a Go Pro!
Oh man, so stoked! I'm looking into the same thing with my revise of the Osmo Action. It's a bummer that they didn't have the software locked down when they released the camera originally. It seems like a lot of people, myself included, dismissed it because of the bugginess. But now that they've gotten most of that figured out, for sure worth another look! Stoked to see what you create Rob!
Thanks for another terrific video. Even though the two Gopro cameras costs more than the Insta360 setup, I’d be kind of partial to having two different cameras with different specialties (standard and 360 mode). On the wind reduction test, I actually preferred the sound from the Gopro, even with the wind (and the fountain) noise still present, over the Insta360. The Insta360 sound had a ‘talking into a 5 gallon bucket’ sound quality to me. I think I’d rather just embrace the wind, or whatever other environmental noise is present and let that be part of the story🤷🏼♂️.
Interesting take! I'm with you that having two angles is a really cool thing to have. I'm actually playing with a motovlogging setup with a 4K cam on my helmet and a 360 cam on the pole out front. Super cool to be able to cut between two angles. But after all this testing, I might end up picking up another ONE R so that I could share batteries between the two cameras. We shall see!
I shoot construction videos on my older GoPro hero3 plus black.I have a external mic and external battery. I want the same type of setup but with better resolution. Which camera do you recommend?
Are you sure the lens comes off of the 4K lens? I don’t see anywhere on Insta360’s site about this or the option to purchase another lens if it gets scratched.
Insta360 ONE R was an easy choice when I finally pulled the trigger a week ago. Twin Edition being on sale helped nicely, but I had already made up my mind after seeing review footage and the modular accessories in the pipe: 360º aerial drone kit, vertical battery kit, double-capacity battery kit, Stereoscopic 3D kit and of course, the option to get the 1" Leica.. After playing with this for the last ~5 days, there's a lot to like. The PC (Studio 2020) app will additionally export to a ProRes 422 MOV file. H.265 also available. In-camera option to record video in a flat LOG profile was taken and results gets a thumbs up from me. Free color-correction LUTs were grabbed from their site and applied in FCPX. When IOS app is launched whether on iPhone or iPad, a powered-on ONE R will invoke the app to ask for a connection to the camera. That's a pretty frictionless process that I was otherwise needlessly dreading. The 4k module will be handy for B-roll footage for the dSLR or those times when I'm looking for buttery-smooth slo-mo from the 200fps mode. There's a lot of versatility coming from just the package.
would you choose the osmo action over the gopro mainly for vlogging standpoint? audio wise is osmo better? I'm in Alaska so a lot of wind occasionally..
max has hero mode built in which is amazing. specially with horizon lock. it's like the one r in one package. not that the one r is not a great product. but if you are good with 1080 and youtube videos are great with 1080 for most. nice video. working on a similar video myself but with the osmo action vs the one r.
I mean look if i'd be that person that just wants to have a good camera and doesn't care about money i'd buy both gopros and the insta 360 one r with 360 and 1inch wide sensor. But sadly I don't have infinite money so it looks like insta 360 one r with 4k and 360. Helpful video,thanks!!
So just to make things clear, 1 inch mod, 360 mod and regular mod are all waterproof with case? How safe that is? Are they waterproof and without case? :)
They're all waterproof and you don't technically need the cage for them to be waterproof. But the cage helps hold them all together so they don't come apart if you were to say get hit by a massive wave. That might be enough pressure to pull them apart in the ocean. In the cage though, you're good to go!
@@DavidManningvlog really David i love ur content and i hope u and ur channel grows like a BEAST. All the best for ur future . Btw i am planning to start a youtube channel ,do u have any good why to start it?
@@anshjain7396 Thank you so much! I'm just focusing on making the content. It's all of you guys making this thing grow! If you're looking for a "why" to start a TH-cam channel, look for what you want to say to the world!
Check the recording times at 60fps, I did a comparison, at 30 minute lengths, the One R 1" looses 1 min 11 sec of footage while saving, the Gopro (Hero 5 that I have) looses 40 milliseconds. Please look into this.
In all of your clips, the GoPro cameras showed high detail of the street surface. It was blurry with the Insta360 cameras. Perhaps the Insta360 cameras used a slower shutter speed.
So funny, the footage of you doing the wind test and I'm thinking that looks familiar, and as soon as the fountain footage comes on ... I moved there in 89 and watched them rebuild that corner and put in the fountain. Years of walking the dogs there every weekend.
So rad man! It's a killer neighborhood now, complete with a sandwich shop, tap room, and taco shop in town! Right where that dirt lot used to be, across from Shane's (used to be Hendo's)👍
@@DavidManningvlog sounds cool. Haven't been back since moving to the Powder Mountain ski resort area here in northern Utah. I don't miss the 580/680 traffic, but used to love all the mountain biking we would do in the Del Valle, Sunol and Morgan Territory areas
Great review. I am very much considering the purchase is the One R. But, are you able to tell me if the Insta360 One R will pare up with the Instamic bluetooth lapel mic? I emailed Insta360 and their reply said “After our test, we can only guarantee that it can connect with the Air pods, but we cannot guarantee that it can also connect with Instamic Bluetooth lapel mic.” That is a very non committal response. I would love to see someone try the Insta360 One R with the Instamic.
Been super impressed with the insta 360 one X, so I'll be in line for the One R. Thought: Let's say you have a bunch of lenses then you upgrade the base module plus a cage, bingo you now have two cameras. Sound: One thing I would truly love is a remote mike module. Wifi the audio in from a really great mike like a lapel mike and have mixing controls so you can set camera and remote mike independently. Yeah.
Great video sir. I have the Hero 8 AND a One X. I love the build quality and form factor of the Hero 8 and the One X is stil really good. I don't see a reason to upgrade to the R. Best of both worlds id say.
Sweet setup! That's pretty much what I was rocking before this new camera. Being in San Diego though, I really appreciate the waterproof feature of the ONE R and MAX. With what you have though, for sure no reason to upgrade!
Good comparison... But for me im still ok with hero 7 but if im gonna choose hero8 and max vs one r i got to choose one r its better overall and more versatile and cheaper, im just being real in myself im not really into overrated brands idc how people praised it, im all about being fair in choosing which is better😊
Totally agree with you Bora! If you have the Hero 7, you're good to go! But when you look to upgrade, it just matters which camera performs best. Brand names don't get you better footage!
I love the GoPro 8black and use it for my vids.. but I’m getting a little concerned/upset that they have not given an update on the display mod... it would definitely help with framing shots. Love your content, convinced me to sub!!
The display mod seems like it will be a great feature, but with the Osmo Action having two screens and the ONE R having a flip forward option, I feel like they're behind in the feature set. You would think that a product in different generations would have no front screen, then an attachable front screen, then a built in front screen. The Osmo Action jumped two gens with the built in front screen and GoPro is lagging behind. We'll see though!
Great comparison! I think the insta360 is easier to hear but sounds too electronically processed/ robotic and cuts out most of the ambient noise which I like to hear in videos. Gopro definitely looks better video quality wise. Not that I'm a fan of Gopro, my one and only Gopro died on me a few years back and lost all my holiday footage.
Would be sick if insta just came out with a new battery mod that had the “folding fingers” mount like the gopro on the bottom would add some bulk to the bottom but eliminates the weight and need for a cage... what’s your opinion right now with the significant price drops on gopro, 8 Black is $250 and Max is $350... great video also thanks for the work..
That would be sweet John! My only concern is that I know the frame is key to keeping this camera together. They don't recommend you use the camera in water unless it's in the frame. I think with the modular design, the frame is key to keeping it from coming apart. As for the GoPro stuff, we should be seeing a new camera from them soon!
Another great video! I'm testing out the Insta360 ONE R Aerial Edition for the Mavic Pro. So far, it's not been as impressive as the other Insta360 ONE R offerings. In your video, you didn't mention that you can process the Insta360 insv files directly in Adobe Premiere Pro (APP), but you have to install the Insta360 Plug-ins for APP during the installation of Insta360 Studio 2020. Insta360 has you install the GoPro FX Reframe Plug-in to handle reframing of the video directly within APP. Using APP to handle the Insta360 insv files directly has proven problematic as well (doesn't retain the "Source Settings" for the insv files - this is where they have you define the Insta360 options to use for the file). Insta360 Studio 2020 seems to handle processing the 5.7K footage far better than directly in APP. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your Insta360 ONE R Aerial Edition for the Mavic Pro review.
Thanks Robert, super kind of you to say! You're totally right, I didn't mention it, but it's for the same reason you mentioned. It's been so hard to work with and for sure my third option behind the app and their desktop studio app. I'm super excited to hear what you think about the aerial edition! When you say not as impressive, do you mean that the shots aren't as unique or that the stitching isn't looking good?
David Manning the video is jittery or has rolling waves running through it. I have examples of the issues in the most recent video I uploaded to my channel. I was told by Insta360 chat support rep to wait for an updated firmware that might address my issues.
Hero Mode on the Max is 1920 x 1440. Weird ball resolution. It does look better than straight 1920 c 1080 though. It is really disappointing that Hero Mode on the Max can't at least do 4K. But if it did what would be the point of buying both. And they probably want you to buy both.
That's what I'm thinking too! I want one camera that can do both! But that's obviously not as good for their bottom line than getting me to buy two cameras. One of the reasons I'm digging the ONE R though. It's like an interchangeable lens camera, the body, the lens, and the battery are all separate!
I actually chose the max over the insta just because theres much less pfaff and the audio. Pop in a battery and go, instead of having to take it out of the case, take the thing apart, put it all back together. Just press the record button and GOpro. 😁
Thank you, this video is fabulous. I'm looking into purchasing my first action camera that I could mount to my motorcycle and your videos have been extremely helpful.
Ps can’t you shoot wide with the GoPro/DJI osmo action and crop/make linear when editing? Is the One R approach different? Maybe their software has better fisheye correction? But isn’t it any case a crop in post?
Hey David, great job on 60k...61k...62k...63k... geez man 🚀🍾 Great video, like always. I primarily shoot with multiple cameras in multiple mounts. Typically shooting multiple days so there’s quite a bit of footage to go through. Love the whole “shoot with a purpose” but we all know how that changes in processing and editing. Then your stuck with only the footage you shot. For these reasons looked into 360, but was allowed to try one last year. The extra work flow and tremendous file size along with capture limitations just didn’t make sense. I do like the unlimited angles but it completely changes the look. I can honestly say, your video has given me the insight to the direction to keep going. Best of luck my friend in “utoobury”. Hang on for the ride cuz your taking off! 🤙🏼
Thanks Bobby! You're absolutely right about the workflow, it's super rough! Honestly, that's the main reason that this video was so tedious to make. Each time you're comparing 360 footage, you're filming, then reframing twice, then exporting twice, then importing twice. I think that's the main hurdle right now with 360 and the one that each company is trying to address. Insta360 has a lot in the app that I didn't go into because it would have been an hour long video if I did. BUT they're trying to work some new AI in there so it will automatically do the reframing for you, focusing on the points of interest that they think you meant to film. It's interesting stuff for sure. I think a few more generations and we'll have something that will really work well!
@@DavidManningvlog Honestly the editing of insv in premere pro is a mess. I can't even get smooth playback with previewed insv files and creating a proxy takes just as long as rendering a full mp4 file. I motovlog so I have some pretty wicked long clips at times not sure if I want to spend hours converting files from insv to mp4 just so I can edit.
Great video, you came so close to answering my question at the end but you didn't quite pull it off. So I have to ask, what's the point of the 4k mod? Why not just get the 360 mod with the 1 inch mod and call it a day? I mean it is more expensive than the 4k 360 mod combo but it seems to beat the GoPro combo in every way with the Insta coming out cheaper even if you get all 3 mods. I think you made a strong case for the Insta tho. Thanks for the hard work!!
It's a video quality thing. If you're just shooting normal video and you don't need 360 video, you'll get better and higher quality video shooting the 4K mod. When 360 cameras are reframed, you can only get about 1080 resolution out of them👍
@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for your reply! I am still not sure if I should get the Trio or Just skip the 4k mod and go for the 1in mod and 360 combo? Not sure if the 4k mod is needed when the 1in seems so much better.
You did mention the changeable lens cover on the insta360, I do think that should have weighed in a little heavier in the conclusion. And I am not familiar with the Gopro bu the 360R has a jack in it for a wireless mic and that is a game changer for anyone that wants to vlog or commentate on any of there videos
There's for sure a few game changers on the ONE R that should be highlighted more. Most of them though are at really early stages though and I think are really going to shine in the next edition!
@@DavidManningvlog I will look forward to seeing more on these little cameras. I like the product, just need some more time to get the finished results I want. My goal is to moto vlog, just because I like what others are doing with it and would like to share some of my experiences.
"... the most excited about." ? The insta360 system, for obvious reasons. Main one being : improving and adapting is done through changing modules. No need to throw the whole camera, or let it sleep and collect dust on a shelf. That doesn't hurt anyone to think about this ever growing obsolescence ? Come on... buying a whole new camera every 2 or 3 years, can we (us and our planet) really afford that ? When you can change 33% instead of 100%, and retain or improve the quality... what more can you ask for ?
Pros and cons for sure! It is absolutely another step added into the process, but the ability it gives you in post is crazy! They added an option to film straight to MP4, but then you lose Flowstate Stabilization. Tough call at this point because it's awesome to have that flexibility, but a pain in the butt to add a step
Hey man! Sorry I haven’t commented in a while. Been swamped with my new job at the psych ward. Got lots of crazy stories. Finally got a day off so gonna watch your vids :)
I just bought the Insta 360 one R for the Mavic 2 mod. That alone made it worth it. Filming from a drone while making the drone completely invisible? Yes please! I already have a GoPro Hero 8 black so I guess I pick the GoPro for regular video and the Insta360 for 360 footage. Best of both worlds I guess.
I completely agree with your dream camera. The max is almost there. What Im disappointed about is the video quality. With instagram and youtube compression, its kinda useless for me.
Hey David, I've seen a lot of videos today about the lens fogging. Did you faced the same issue with the 360 mod? How to get rid of that and should I go for insta 360? Because of that fogging thing I'm really confused between the go pro and this one
I just bought my first action camera, and I went for the go pro hero 8 black since they had a huge discount. Super excited for it to arrive, will also try to get my hands on a 360 cam in the future. Hope they make ur dream cam by then. Since that camera would be amazing. Thanks for the video!
The rear screen is taking up the most battery of anything. If you're not using the screen for much, go into settings and reduce its sleep time so that even while recording it turns off after a minute or so. I also recommend turning off GPS and the Quickcapture mode👍
Great video. I'm hoping to get a One R 'Twin Edition' soon. The Ricoh Theta Z1 offers a lot of what you are dreaming for: 360 camera, 2x 1inch sensors... bit isn't an action camera and isn't waterproof. It is, however, about the best quality 360 video camera under £1000/$1000.
Great video - worth pointing out you can pull in insv files straight into premiere and edit in there using the plugin which can save time depending on your needs - GoPro’s still easier to work with 😎
Thanks for an awesome review! I'm looking at getting into outdoor vlogging and am decide which camera gear I need to start. In South Africa I can get the One R 'twin edition' with the 4k and 360mod or I can get the 1 inch camera for a similar price. Can I ask your advice as to which I get first for mountain travel vlogging?
First I found your channel not to long a go and I am hooked, I have been watching your vid's, Thanks man for making them. I like the Instapro 360 it gives more options and if they make a new lens you don't have to dump The whole camera. I have had every Gopro from the 3 up and I really like the 8. The Insta360 1R has peaked my interest. Your video has brought up some pro's and cons about making the leap. I do have a question on the still picture end does the Insta360 offer the settings Gopro offers? I want a 360 camera and just didn't want to get the Max. I am not a profession or close. So I am just a little confused if I should make the jump?
This video was a BEAST to make! Jump to any spot you want or be awesome and watch the whole thing! Would be super grateful for you to hit it with a like, and THANK YOU GUYS for 60K!!!

In the end I chose GoPro max for reasons you didn’t mention: insta360 R to mount you need to put a special bracket on - normally not big deal unless you want to change battery then you need to disassembly camera module the main module so juggling with loads of pieces for something that should be quick and easy - risk of damaging lenses increases here greatly. Secondly underwater 360 module is unusable doesn’t stitch properly vs GoPro being much better and having option of hero mode as well. Thirdly - auto horizon - GoPro has got this option insta doesn’t so that helps in post production greatly. Lastly coloring and postproduction app - multiple reviews claim GoPro to have an edge - coloring is obvious one potentially saves a step in postproduction
GREAT REVIEW! Well.... I have two GoPro 7 Blacks and now I learn that the batteries will work in the GoPro 8, but you loose the best stabilization mode of the 8. So if I upgrade I would need a whole new set of batteries. Well then, now I might as well consider another manufacture as either way I’d have to buy a new set of spare batteries. What’s the batterie cost and capacity / life difference between the two? Do I end up having to spend more or carry more for a days worth of video shooting while out back. What’s the charge time like between the two...
Thanks man and great questions Richard! The tough thing is that those GoPro 7 Blacks are just so damn good! I've even said before that if someone has the 7, they shouldn't even worry about upgrading to the 8. With that setup, I would say to pickup the ONE R Twin Edition and keep at least one of those cameras for a second angle. I mainly run the ONE R in 360 mode. I would say just buy that, but for $50 more it's an easy add to just get the Twin Edition and have the 4K mod as an option. Batteries are about the same price, but the ONE R batteries are a bit tough to get your hands on right now. Capacity and run times are about the same as well. I feel like all of these companies are hitting a wall in run time with battery capacity in such a small form factor. I'm not sure about charge times, but I'll check it out!!!
Don´t do watersports with an Insta 360 without a case. I have both (gopro max and Insta 360 one R) . Water gets inside the one R and if you use a case, it gets foggy and there´s a lot of reflections as it´s made of plastic...I normally use the GoPro max without a case (there's not even a case made by GoPro) because it´s not necessary and the footage quality and sound is much better. Out of the water I prefer the Insta
Like: Team Gopro all the way
Comment: Team Insta360 all the way
Edit: OMG DAVID MANNING REPLIED 🤩🤩🤩
Hahhaaa! Nice!
GoPro are better. Hands down. Great vids and info. You really help by giving us in-depth information. Love watching ur vids
Thanks Model The Masters! I appreciate you watching!!!
Currently I am a GoPro 7 Hero guy looking for a 360 Action Camera for videoing motorcycle rides. Watched a lot of GoPro Max and Insta360 R & Insta360 X. Your review puts me strongly in the Insta360 R marketplace. Thank You
I'm going to be working on a motovlogging setup in a coming video. I think you're on the right track!
Would you really trust taking this in the ocean/salt water without a case? Each module is a point of failure for leaking. People report leaks with the GoPro hero 8 and the DJI osmo action. I have both.
Taking the modules apart and swapping them may quickly weaken the seals. If you get hit by a wave the water pressure can be really strong, and a salt water leak is usually a death sentence for electronics. In fresh water I would be less concerned. The 1 inch sensor is interesting for underwater use, although the minimum focus distance may not be close enough in some instances.
I wonder if the battery modules are more expensive than batteries for GoPros and osmo actions.
Great that someone is innovating. What is the file size of the proprietary format compared to mp4 video files?
The insta 360 audio was obviously much better when it was windy.... :)
Better, but pretty robotic. I would take it though!
Right I'm thinking he's a gopro fanboy
Hi Dave, congrats on another fab video. I did notice when you compare 360 footage, this was shot at different locations. A better test is shooting in the exact same moment. I also feel like the quality will be somewhat determined by if the main action is taking place on the stitch line. Thoughts?
Just bought Insta360 ONE R TWIN edition and I am very happy with it. I may buy even the drone, the modularity is amazing (but not for everybody). I am looking forward to future upgrades. I have also older Hero camera and these are great as well.
BUT you can now also connect Bluetooth headphones / mics to the One R for better audio. Also won't you still save more money buying an extra core and battery to use with your second lens, giving you 2 cameras?
This review is the best. I love the way you compare their feature. Unlike the other reviews of Insta 360 vs GoPro Max which obviously bias even though they say they are not being paid by whoever ever lol.
Welcome back with another amazing video.Just gonna grab the popcorn and enjoy this cool dude
Hahhaaa! Love it!!!
I've been considering the Insta360 One R for a while and this video is just what I needed to really nail down my choice. Thank you!
So what's the verdict? After all that info, which camera are you going with?
@@DavidManningvlog Definitely the Insta360. I want to use it for capturing video from the stage during shows. Placing it in the center of the stage in front of the drums would give a ton of flexibility in footage. If the only issue is audio, I can pull sound off the board and sync in post super easy.
Congrats brother! Almost 64K already! 🥳👏👏🤙 I love the videos! Keep doing what you're doing
Dang, super stoked on that! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Great video man, I know how much hard work this was, well done and congrats on 60k. Funnily enough I'm mid way through filming a video on why you should buy an Osmo Action ahead of a Go Pro!
Oh man, so stoked! I'm looking into the same thing with my revise of the Osmo Action. It's a bummer that they didn't have the software locked down when they released the camera originally. It seems like a lot of people, myself included, dismissed it because of the bugginess. But now that they've gotten most of that figured out, for sure worth another look! Stoked to see what you create Rob!
@@DavidManningvlog Oh yeah to be fair it was pretty bad due to those issues to start with! Did someone say cross atlantic shootout!?
Thank you Sir. excellent video. Answered all of my questions that I had
Thanks for another terrific video. Even though the two Gopro cameras costs more than the Insta360 setup, I’d be kind of partial to having two different cameras with different specialties (standard and 360 mode). On the wind reduction test, I actually preferred the sound from the Gopro, even with the wind (and the fountain) noise still present, over the Insta360. The Insta360 sound had a ‘talking into a 5 gallon bucket’ sound quality to me. I think I’d rather just embrace the wind, or whatever other environmental noise is present and let that be part of the story🤷🏼♂️.
Interesting take! I'm with you that having two angles is a really cool thing to have. I'm actually playing with a motovlogging setup with a 4K cam on my helmet and a 360 cam on the pole out front. Super cool to be able to cut between two angles. But after all this testing, I might end up picking up another ONE R so that I could share batteries between the two cameras. We shall see!
I want Kodak to bring back the Brownie camera, please. Best camera I ever had! Loved those black n white photos, beautiful!
Amazing vid and awesome channel! So happy when u upload!
Thanks Colin! I appreciate you man!
I shoot construction videos on my older GoPro hero3 plus black.I have a external mic and external battery. I want the same type of setup but with better resolution. Which camera do you recommend?
So what should I buy?
Are you sure the lens comes off of the 4K lens? I don’t see anywhere on Insta360’s site about this or the option to purchase another lens if it gets scratched.
It's not easy, but it does!
Insta360 ONE R was an easy choice when I finally pulled the trigger a week ago. Twin Edition being on sale helped nicely, but I had already made up my mind after seeing review footage and the modular accessories in the pipe: 360º aerial drone kit, vertical battery kit, double-capacity battery kit, Stereoscopic 3D kit and of course, the option to get the 1" Leica..
After playing with this for the last ~5 days, there's a lot to like. The PC (Studio 2020) app will additionally export to a ProRes 422 MOV file. H.265 also available. In-camera option to record video in a flat LOG profile was taken and results gets a thumbs up from me. Free color-correction LUTs were grabbed from their site and applied in FCPX.
When IOS app is launched whether on iPhone or iPad, a powered-on ONE R will invoke the app to ask for a connection to the camera. That's a pretty frictionless process that I was otherwise needlessly dreading.
The 4k module will be handy for B-roll footage for the dSLR or those times when I'm looking for buttery-smooth slo-mo from the 200fps mode. There's a lot of versatility coming from just the package.
would you choose the osmo action over the gopro mainly for vlogging standpoint? audio wise is osmo better? I'm in Alaska so a lot of wind occasionally..
Keep an eye out either next week or the following week for the Osmo Action update video! It's going to be interesting!
Does the insta360 freeze as often as the Hero's do? My 7 has been the most frustrating camera I have ever used. Constant freezing and loss of footage
max has hero mode built in which is amazing. specially with horizon lock.
it's like the one r in one package.
not that the one r is not a great product. but if you are good with 1080 and youtube videos are great with 1080 for most.
nice video. working on a similar video myself but with the osmo action vs the one r.
I already own a Hero 7 Black, Should I go for the Insta360 or GP Max?
I mean look if i'd be that person that just wants to have a good camera and doesn't care about money i'd buy both gopros and the insta 360 one r with 360 and 1inch wide sensor. But sadly I don't have infinite money so it looks like insta 360 one r with 4k and 360. Helpful video,thanks!!
Hahha! Infinite money would be dope! For now, I think the Twin Edition is the way to go👍
Great video. About the file format. Insta360 has a premiere plugin that allows importing and editing insv files right off the camera
I know, but it's a bit buggy. I've been a bit frustrated with it, so I always use the app or their Studio program
So just to make things clear, 1 inch mod, 360 mod and regular mod are all waterproof with case? How safe that is? Are they waterproof and without case? :)
They're all waterproof and you don't technically need the cage for them to be waterproof. But the cage helps hold them all together so they don't come apart if you were to say get hit by a massive wave. That might be enough pressure to pull them apart in the ocean. In the cage though, you're good to go!
David Manning thanks man! appreciate it!
Hello from Malaysia...
This is the best comparison video I had ever watched.
Decided to go for 360 :)
Thanks for sharing this video
Looooved this video comparison, best I've seen today. Decision made. Getting the Insta360 ⚡️
+1 for smashing the HERO8 and Max together. Great video for learning about the Insta360 lineup and ecosystem!
You are so underrated also I love the vids they help out alot
Super kind of you to say! Love seeing the channel grow!

@@KamilROfficial Thanks Kamil! I appreciate that!
Best ever comparison video i watched. Im a beginer its awsome . Love from india
Check the recording times at 60fps, I did a comparison, at 30 minute lengths, the One R 1" looses 1 min 11 sec of footage while saving, the Gopro (Hero 5 that I have) looses 40 milliseconds. Please look into this.
In all of your clips, the GoPro cameras showed high detail of the street surface. It was blurry with the Insta360 cameras. Perhaps the Insta360 cameras used a slower shutter speed.
So funny, the footage of you doing the wind test and I'm thinking that looks familiar, and as soon as the fountain footage comes on ... I moved there in 89 and watched them rebuild that corner and put in the fountain. Years of walking the dogs there every weekend.
So rad man! It's a killer neighborhood now, complete with a sandwich shop, tap room, and taco shop in town! Right where that dirt lot used to be, across from Shane's (used to be Hendo's)👍
@@DavidManningvlog sounds cool. Haven't been back since moving to the Powder Mountain ski resort area here in northern Utah. I don't miss the 580/680 traffic, but used to love all the mountain biking we would do in the Del Valle, Sunol and Morgan Territory areas
Great review. I am very much considering the purchase is the One R. But, are you able to tell me if the Insta360 One R will pare up with the Instamic bluetooth lapel mic? I emailed Insta360 and their reply said “After our test, we can only guarantee that it can connect with the Air pods, but we cannot guarantee that it can also connect with Instamic Bluetooth lapel mic.” That is a very non committal response. I would love to see someone try the Insta360 One R with the Instamic.
Unfortunately I don't have the Instamic so I can't say for sure
Been super impressed with the insta 360 one X, so I'll be in line for the One R.
Thought: Let's say you have a bunch of lenses then you upgrade the base module plus a cage, bingo you now have two cameras.
Sound: One thing I would truly love is a remote mike module. Wifi the audio in from a really great mike like a lapel mike and have mixing controls so you can set camera and remote mike independently. Yeah.
Do you think just get the 1"/360 or 4k/360? Is the $250 worth it? Or you can get a way with the twin edition? Thanks
I'm already liking your video for lining the three up.
Great video sir.
I have the Hero 8 AND a One X. I love the build quality and form factor of the Hero 8 and the One X is stil really good. I don't see a reason to upgrade to the R. Best of both worlds id say.
Sweet setup! That's pretty much what I was rocking before this new camera. Being in San Diego though, I really appreciate the waterproof feature of the ONE R and MAX. With what you have though, for sure no reason to upgrade!
Good comparison... But for me im still ok with hero 7 but if im gonna choose hero8 and max vs one r i got to choose one r its better overall and more versatile and cheaper, im just being real in myself im not really into overrated brands idc how people praised it, im all about being fair in choosing which is better😊
Totally agree with you Bora! If you have the Hero 7, you're good to go! But when you look to upgrade, it just matters which camera performs best. Brand names don't get you better footage!
I love the GoPro 8black and use it for my vids.. but I’m getting a little concerned/upset that they have not given an update on the display mod... it would definitely help with framing shots. Love your content, convinced me to sub!!
The display mod seems like it will be a great feature, but with the Osmo Action having two screens and the ONE R having a flip forward option, I feel like they're behind in the feature set. You would think that a product in different generations would have no front screen, then an attachable front screen, then a built in front screen. The Osmo Action jumped two gens with the built in front screen and GoPro is lagging behind. We'll see though!
Great comparison! I think the insta360 is easier to hear but sounds too electronically processed/ robotic and cuts out most of the ambient noise which I like to hear in videos. Gopro definitely looks better video quality wise. Not that I'm a fan of Gopro, my one and only Gopro died on me a few years back and lost all my holiday footage.
I think you're totally right, the ONE R's voice boost is a bit much
Your way of comparing method earned you a sub bro.. thanks and keep it going..
Thanks man, love hearing that!
Would be sick if insta just came out with a new battery mod that had the “folding fingers” mount like the gopro on the bottom would add some bulk to the bottom but eliminates the weight and need for a cage... what’s your opinion right now with the significant price drops on gopro, 8 Black is $250 and Max is $350... great video also thanks for the work..
That would be sweet John! My only concern is that I know the frame is key to keeping this camera together. They don't recommend you use the camera in water unless it's in the frame. I think with the modular design, the frame is key to keeping it from coming apart. As for the GoPro stuff, we should be seeing a new camera from them soon!
Another great video! I'm testing out the Insta360 ONE R Aerial Edition for the Mavic Pro. So far, it's not been as impressive as the other Insta360 ONE R offerings. In your video, you didn't mention that you can process the Insta360 insv files directly in Adobe Premiere Pro (APP), but you have to install the Insta360 Plug-ins for APP during the installation of Insta360 Studio 2020. Insta360 has you install the GoPro FX Reframe Plug-in to handle reframing of the video directly within APP. Using APP to handle the Insta360 insv files directly has proven problematic as well (doesn't retain the "Source Settings" for the insv files - this is where they have you define the Insta360 options to use for the file). Insta360 Studio 2020 seems to handle processing the 5.7K footage far better than directly in APP. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your Insta360 ONE R Aerial Edition for the Mavic Pro review.
Thanks Robert, super kind of you to say! You're totally right, I didn't mention it, but it's for the same reason you mentioned. It's been so hard to work with and for sure my third option behind the app and their desktop studio app. I'm super excited to hear what you think about the aerial edition! When you say not as impressive, do you mean that the shots aren't as unique or that the stitching isn't looking good?
David Manning the video is jittery or has rolling waves running through it. I have examples of the issues in the most recent video I uploaded to my channel. I was told by Insta360 chat support rep to wait for an updated firmware that might address my issues.
Hero Mode on the Max is 1920 x 1440. Weird ball resolution. It does look better than straight 1920 c 1080 though.
It is really disappointing that Hero Mode on the Max can't at least do 4K. But if it did what would be the point of buying both. And they probably want you to buy both.
That's what I'm thinking too! I want one camera that can do both! But that's obviously not as good for their bottom line than getting me to buy two cameras. One of the reasons I'm digging the ONE R though. It's like an interchangeable lens camera, the body, the lens, and the battery are all separate!
I actually chose the max over the insta just because theres much less pfaff and the audio. Pop in a battery and go, instead of having to take it out of the case, take the thing apart, put it all back together. Just press the record button and GOpro. 😁
Good points Cheese on Everything!
Which one is better for slow motion insta 360 or go pro 9 ??
GoPro 9👍
bro @davidmanning what is your suggestion what should i pick , go pro max or insta360 1 r ? plz reps ,, thank uu
Thank you, this video is fabulous. I'm looking into purchasing my first action camera that I could mount to my motorcycle and your videos have been extremely helpful.
Love hearing that Jovita! I'm working on one that's all about motovlogging and a full setup for a ride. Hopefully I'll have it out in June!
@@DavidManningvlog I'll definitely be watching. Thanks again.
What label maker is that in the background? (affiliate link that s***)
On the left? That's the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL for printing 4x6 shipping labels!
@@DavidManningvlog - Come on rookie, affiliate link it so I can send you my .04.
Ps can’t you shoot wide with the GoPro/DJI osmo action and crop/make linear when editing? Is the One R approach different? Maybe their software has better fisheye correction? But isn’t it any case a crop in post?
Hey David, great job on 60k...61k...62k...63k... geez man 🚀🍾
Great video, like always. I primarily shoot with multiple cameras in multiple mounts. Typically shooting multiple days so there’s quite a bit of footage to go through. Love the whole “shoot with a purpose” but we all know how that changes in processing and editing. Then your stuck with only the footage you shot. For these reasons looked into 360, but was allowed to try one last year. The extra work flow and tremendous file size along with capture limitations just didn’t make sense. I do like the unlimited angles but it completely changes the look. I can honestly say, your video has given me the insight to the direction to keep going. Best of luck my friend in “utoobury”. Hang on for the ride cuz your taking off! 🤙🏼
Thanks Bobby! You're absolutely right about the workflow, it's super rough! Honestly, that's the main reason that this video was so tedious to make. Each time you're comparing 360 footage, you're filming, then reframing twice, then exporting twice, then importing twice. I think that's the main hurdle right now with 360 and the one that each company is trying to address. Insta360 has a lot in the app that I didn't go into because it would have been an hour long video if I did. BUT they're trying to work some new AI in there so it will automatically do the reframing for you, focusing on the points of interest that they think you meant to film. It's interesting stuff for sure. I think a few more generations and we'll have something that will really work well!
when you gonna make 1 inch vs gopro?? i really want to know your opinion which is better
Soooooooon!
For the record premiere pro does support insv with the full motion flow with the plugin.
Yeah, I'm just not super stoked on the reframing process in the plugin
@@DavidManningvlog Honestly the editing of insv in premere pro is a mess. I can't even get smooth playback with previewed insv files and creating a proxy takes just as long as rendering a full mp4 file. I motovlog so I have some pretty wicked long clips at times not sure if I want to spend hours converting files from insv to mp4 just so I can edit.
the best comparison ive seen!!!! thank you!!
Great video, you came so close to answering my question at the end but you didn't quite pull it off. So I have to ask, what's the point of the 4k mod? Why not just get the 360 mod with the 1 inch mod and call it a day? I mean it is more expensive than the 4k 360 mod combo but it seems to beat the GoPro combo in every way with the Insta coming out cheaper even if you get all 3 mods. I think you made a strong case for the Insta tho. Thanks for the hard work!!
It's a video quality thing. If you're just shooting normal video and you don't need 360 video, you'll get better and higher quality video shooting the 4K mod. When 360 cameras are reframed, you can only get about 1080 resolution out of them👍
@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for your reply! I am still not sure if I should get the Trio or Just skip the 4k mod and go for the 1in mod and 360 combo? Not sure if the 4k mod is needed when the 1in seems so much better.
You did mention the changeable lens cover on the insta360, I do think that should have weighed in a little heavier in the conclusion. And I am not familiar with the Gopro bu the 360R has a jack in it for a wireless mic and that is a game changer for anyone that wants to vlog or commentate on any of there videos
There's for sure a few game changers on the ONE R that should be highlighted more. Most of them though are at really early stages though and I think are really going to shine in the next edition!
@@DavidManningvlog I will look forward to seeing more on these little cameras. I like the product, just need some more time to get the finished results I want. My goal is to moto vlog, just because I like what others are doing with it and would like to share some of my experiences.
Now with the hero9 and the max lends mod do you still suggest getting the insta360 twin edition?
"... the most excited about." ?
The insta360 system, for obvious reasons.
Main one being : improving and adapting is done through changing modules. No need to throw the whole camera, or let it sleep and collect dust on a shelf.
That doesn't hurt anyone to think about this ever growing obsolescence ? Come on... buying a whole new camera every 2 or 3 years, can we (us and our planet) really afford that ?
When you can change 33% instead of 100%, and retain or improve the quality... what more can you ask for ?
Yo David, lots of love.
Thanks for the great work.
But the Insta 360 filetype is so annoying to be edited right?? 🙏🙏😊
Pros and cons for sure! It is absolutely another step added into the process, but the ability it gives you in post is crazy! They added an option to film straight to MP4, but then you lose Flowstate Stabilization. Tough call at this point because it's awesome to have that flexibility, but a pain in the butt to add a step
Hey man! Sorry I haven’t commented in a while. Been swamped with my new job at the psych ward. Got lots of crazy stories. Finally got a day off so gonna watch your vids :)
Oh man, that sounds wild! Stoked that things are going so well for you man!
OneR killed it with the Audio wind test.
What would you say is the best action camera under $200
I'm not sure of the best, but I'll be reviewing the Akaso action cam soon! Keep an eye out for that video!
I just bought the Insta 360 one R for the Mavic 2 mod. That alone made it worth it. Filming from a drone while making the drone completely invisible? Yes please!
I already have a GoPro Hero 8 black so I guess I pick the GoPro for regular video and the Insta360 for 360 footage. Best of both worlds I guess.
Such a crazy feature it can do!
How insta 360 one r work with drone pls help thanks
Would you recommend I upgrade from a Hero 2018 to a Hero 8?
What's a Hero 2018? Is that the Hero 7 or Hero 6?
David Manning its just the regular Hero from 2018.
I completely agree with your dream camera. The max is almost there. What Im disappointed about is the video quality. With instagram and youtube compression, its kinda useless for me.
I'm pretty shocked that it's so poor compared to the ONE R. There is so much more detail in the Insta360 image, it's incredible!
Man I love your positivity, makes my day! I actually started a channel because of creators like you inspiring me :)
Oh man, so stoked that you've got the channel going! Love hearing that man, it looks great!
Is the 1” mod on the Insta360 waterproof as well?
It sure is!
How does the FOV compare between the 4k mod and the gopro in their widest stabilised mode?
yes
Hey would you be able to make a video on tips and trick on how to get the best shots with the Insta 360R
Love that idea Garbage Man! I'll add it to the list!
Hey David,
I've seen a lot of videos today about the lens fogging. Did you faced the same issue with the 360 mod? How to get rid of that and should I go for insta 360? Because of that fogging thing I'm really confused between the go pro and this one
I just bought my first action camera, and I went for the go pro hero 8 black since they had a huge discount. Super excited for it to arrive, will also try to get my hands on a 360 cam in the future. Hope they make ur dream cam by then. Since that camera would be amazing. Thanks for the video!
hi david can you give me a tips on how to save my battery life on my go pro hero 7 black thanks...
The rear screen is taking up the most battery of anything. If you're not using the screen for much, go into settings and reduce its sleep time so that even while recording it turns off after a minute or so. I also recommend turning off GPS and the Quickcapture mode👍
@@DavidManningvlog thanks bro
Great video. I'm hoping to get a One R 'Twin Edition' soon.
The Ricoh Theta Z1 offers a lot of what you are dreaming for: 360 camera, 2x 1inch sensors... bit isn't an action camera and isn't waterproof. It is, however, about the best quality 360 video camera under £1000/$1000.
Make sure to test the photo quality on the 1inch mod. Nobody is talking about that. Good review
I for sure will!👍
Great video - worth pointing out you can pull in insv files straight into premiere and edit in there using the plugin which can save time depending on your needs - GoPro’s still easier to work with 😎
great video man! you did it perfectly to figure out how would be the best. for me, I gonna go for the One R!
Congrats on getting to 60K! Hopefully you will be 100K+ by XMAS!
Thank you so much! Would love to see that happen!
David Manning already 80k!! Definitely 100k by the end of the year, maybe more!
Which is the camera u are using?
To film the video? This one was shot on a Sony A7Rii
Thanks for an awesome review! I'm looking at getting into outdoor vlogging and am decide which camera gear I need to start. In South Africa I can get the One R 'twin edition' with the 4k and 360mod or I can get the 1 inch camera for a similar price. Can I ask your advice as to which I get first for mountain travel vlogging?
First I found your channel not to long a go and I am hooked, I have been watching your vid's, Thanks man for making them. I like the Instapro 360 it gives more options and if they make a new lens you don't have to dump The whole camera. I have had every Gopro from the 3 up and I really like the 8. The Insta360 1R has peaked my interest. Your video has brought up some pro's and cons about making the leap. I do have a question on the still picture end does the Insta360 offer the settings Gopro offers? I want a 360 camera and just didn't want to get the Max. I am not a profession or close. So I am just a little confused if I should make the jump?
Now that the GoPro Hero9 has a front screen just like you mentioned at 4:30, I'd love to see how they stack up.
