Insta360 One X2 review: The most fun camera
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2020
- Insta360 just announced the next generation of its One X line of cameras: the One X2. This model adds an LCD touchscreen viewfinder and, really, most of the features found in the more expensive Insta360 One R. For the last couple of weeks, the One X2 has consistently motivated me to get out of the house, get active and see what kind of crazy footage I can capture. Honestly, it made me like a kid again.
Watch my review of the OneR where I see if Insta360's AI can edit my skate footage: • Insta360 One R review:...
Since filming this video, Insta360 has rolled out a firmware update to address audio and app freezing issues. Apps shown in video were in beta.

Thanks for watching! Have much have y'all shot 360?
waiting for miracle, 360 camera drop from cloud
Just picked the camera up and I'm completely lost on what to do with it... Lol. This video is making me want to use it though.
I have to trust your word because of your tee shirt choice!
Don’t buy a @insta360 I bought one for my travel to Europe and 6 days after buying it both lenses got scratched, the videos look horrible, THIS IS NOT AN ACTION CAMERA!!! buy a GoPro, believe me! You can write to me if you need more info but as a customer don’t buy this!!! A cellphone camera lasts much more than the insta 360; the solution they gave me is to pay $198 dollars to replace them and I didn’t even had a month with the camera … buy a go pro or any other but not this one!
youtube does horrible things with overcompression if you upload in 1080p. Best bet is to upscale your 1080 footage to 4K so that YT uses different level of compression. Even when watching it back at 1080 on YT, the result is much better. The quality of the footage looks terrible and I can't help thinking thats mostly due to YT but there is no way to tell.
I think this guy was hired for his looks for some reason long hair a mustache and an old vintage house makes me feel like this guy knows exactly what he’s talking about
This guy is Master of transition lol
Haha yess
Also because he'a good
@@john26razor340 agreed and it’s really just a joke. 🙃
Great review! Give this guy more work CNET. This was excellent!
lol'd when he went into the camera portal. This video is really well made :)
Thanks, Adam!
... it's almost too good!
Of all the reviews on TH-cam, this CNET review makes me want to buy this camera.
This was really well done. This kind of makes me want to take the jump into 360. That bullet time accessory as a string looks clutch. 🙌🏾
I like this video talks about the actual pain point for the 360 video camera, the editing part. I got a free samsung 360 video camera when I bought a Note 9. I only used twice, then it's sitting there collecting dust. Watched your video makes me want to take it out and try again even though it is already 2 years old.
The intro montage is great fun and entertaining. Thanks for the video. Very informative and balanced. Btw I don’t know how you survive such weather.
Wow! This guy did a great job with the review! Nice video editing. Fun to watch and informative!
Didn't expect such legit kick flips from a tech reviewer. Nice job
Great review!
+ added bonus of skate content
The footage of that nose slide was sick
Ahhh my dude I really enjoyed this review! I'm discovering more and more in my own creative journey that I'm so much less concerned about stats and 'best' and much more interested in what gets me out shooting and enjoying the creative process. With some kiddo's running around the house I love the concept of this as a 'always catch the moment' machine when the off-frame kiddo does something hilarious and with hobbies like RC's, Fatbiking, and Motorbikes the ability to have a small easy to carry machine that has all these features seems excellent!! I'm hoping that one of these is under the tree... but if not I'll be placing an order on Boxing Day I think!!
A note about your review too - it was the one that best let me know what the 'feeling' and 'experience' of shooting and editing with this machine would be. The rest of the video's out there just feel like someone reading a brochure so WELL DONE!!
I appreciate your kind words and glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
@@nichenry5220 I bought one!!
Those transitions though!
Would be perfect for hiking, granted I'd use the selfie stick as a hiking pole half the time. :)
Finally an excellent review from CNET!
Looks cool for biking! I wonder if there's a way I could make it hands free, but then I would imagine a lot more bumps because while holding it it would be more stabilized
You make me wanna go out and play with this camera! Hilarious, dude! You made my day!
i watched this video on doing whippits and when you did that fun transition to the snow world i was not disappointed
i might buy one after watching this. thanks for your review.
Good job on the review. I have the older version and just decided to add the X2 for the waterproof as I do lots of shooting on the boat.
Thank u man . I gone get one . Didnt know if it was for me but see you filming like that thank for all the info
Good review, thanks Mr.
Thank you! Helpful video indeed. I have an oculus quest to and I am interested in getting this camera but I don’t have any knowledge as to how it could work for viewing in the VR world or perhaps even editing. Do you know anything about it?
thanks for honest review
Great video mate fully appreciated the effort exerted, subbed
I coach a u8 boys ⚽️ team. This can be the answer to the “ how did you do thatttt” I get so often 😅
Tried the X2 in 360 mode today. Hoping the Steadicam mode works well too.
Great reviews from CNET lately because of the amazing hosts
Aw, thank you, Clint!
This looks like way too much fun! I think I gotta get one and roll outside on the snow like an idiot
That intro montage was fire!!!! 🤯
Right on! Good job explaining thanks !
Best CNET host I’ve seen!!
Nice video. I love when you said "the cabeza" Cool!
Sweet review totally waiting up for.
Thank you!
I've been a GoPro dude as long as they've been around but I just won a free insta360 one X2 in an office party raffle and I'm excited but also intimidated trying to figure the whole thing out as I'm not too heavy into video making. I gotta say this was a great review and now I'm a lot more excited to try it out, thank you!
So which camera so you like better now?
As most of 360 enthusiastic customers get disappointed with the X2 , do you have any idea if Theta Z2 will be introduced soon ❓
This is such a great video! I want one now 😩
I have the original One X and can't wait to upgrade. I was skeptical at first but now reviews are saying its worth it.
I haven't shot 360 any at all but I had a Flip video camera also. I couldn't understand why they didn't make accessories for it ( bar mounts, helmet mounts etc.) since it was a design clearly screaming for those things. Enter Go Pro a few years later.
Ice review I have a 360 1R and really liked it you mentioned the GoPro Max I had it before I got the one r and it was pretty awful to use super buggy pretty standard GoPro battery issues won't stay charged won't charge all of those wonderful GoPro problems I actually talked to some professional photographers with the project that I was working with at the time ask them what I was doing wrong and they said the biggest mistake that I made was I bought a GoPro so you probably want to leave that GoPro max out of your camera lineup thanks for the review
Thanks for the video. Great job.
Great review.. my one x has the same issue I saw in your video at 2:35 in the background a few seconds of micro jitters, you notice that as well?
Yeah, the image quality can definitely be wonky and sometimes is hard to avoid the flaws. That being said, overall I think it does a pretty good job of doing stitch work/stabilization etc. where it's worth the tradeoff of not having to do that stuff yourself. Also both the camera firmware and apps were still in beta while filming this video and they have been releasing updates.
Amazing review, funny without being cheesy (TH-camrs just seem cheesy with their humour a lot of the time)
that's funny what you said about the Quarry. I have done the same questionable explorations of crazy locations, since buying a 360 camera. lol
Yeah I had my eyes peeled for weird places to wander into lol
Love the intro...so now I’m watching the whole video
Hey.
THANK YOU for the nice video, instructions.
IS IT KNOWN WHEN A NEW MODEL WILL BE COMING SOON
Insta360 One K3. Let's think about shopping.
Best regards.
Thanks for the very informative video. One question though: why would editing via the app impact on your phone data plan? Surely you’re connected directly (on wifi or Bluetooth) and not going, somehow, through the cloud. That would be a complete deal-breaker for me, for many reasons.
Yeah wth definitely seems wrong IMO.
I liked this video in the first 50 seconds just based of the edits.... it looked fantastic
If you have One R, you can get the Vertical Battery and waterproof case/bumper.
how long have you had the new camera; one x2. looks like you went through three different sessions in your review? summer, autumn and winter
Only about a week and a half! Just had really insane weather. But the One R shots from the skatepark were over the summer.
Great review!👏
Wonderful video! Love it and subscribed.
Great review, thanks mate.
I saw your Insta360 One R review with the Skatesession... crazy good....
I am interessted for the X2 for filming this kind of Skatesessions... and the question is.... IS THIS Insta360 One X2 overheating or can you just film in 5.7k from 100% battery to 0% with the cam standing on a tripod?
Thanks in advance.
John
Appreciate the nice words! I have not filmed straight from 100% to 0%, but I have had minor overheating issues with both cameras. Definitely more with the One R but I was also using it more during the summer. And a skatepark surrounded by all that concrete, if it's hot out I'd say every 15-20 min I'd have to turn the camera off and put in the shade for a bit before I started again. I've had the same issue with my phone and other cameras as well. But yeah these 360 cams are definitely more for fun lil park edits rather than relying on em to get your ender haha
@@nichenry5220 thanks mate! 🤙🏼
It sounds good to me. Under these extreme conditions, it's ok to overheat. If the cam is in the shade and its not 30 to 35 °C outside, it should be fine.
Keep skating 🌞
I am sorry if these have been answered. If you're editing on your phone and it's connected to WiFi, then how does it affect your data? One other question, adding music to your video is easy or are there copyright issues involved?
that intro video blew my mind
Any link to an extra battery for this? Does the old One X battery work for the new model?
Great Video.. question, I have the one R but thinking of selling and getting the one X2. I think the stich line might be better? Also I don't really use the 4K lens and I also have the 1 inch lens which I also am not real impressed. My GoPro's and Osmo Action cameras do a good job.
Anyway just wanting to hear your thoughts...
I think the X2 is an improvement over the One R but the image quality still leaves a bit to be desired in both cameras IMO... I think the stitch line is good in both cameras but even still, I usually try to avoid seeing it at all costs when I'm editing. Basically I wouldn't buy this to replace your One R if image quality is your biggest concern.
@@nichenry5220 Thanks for getting back to me, I now have the one X2 and really love the form factor. Much easier to use...
The new one has got this ambient sound feature.
I might get this to film with my fpv drones
HI there, thank you for this video. I wanted to ask if you can shoot flat footage 'like s log 3' on this camera ?
Great review Borat.
Which one Would u recommend insta 360 or gopromax for motovlogging?
can this version be used with an external battery pack to extend run time...or only with the internal battery?
I personally hate the fish eye effect/distortion of lines that comes with wide-angle. Can I avoid it completely while recording, as opposed to fixing it post?
Is it worth buying this if you have an insta360 twin edition?
My friend sent me a fun sphere looking video for her Mardi Gras Sydney 2021 walk. I’m fascinated. I’m thinking give her one. I wonder whether I should invest one
Brilliant!! Thanks!! : )
Good video. Thanks.
I would not like to buy X2.
Do you know the release date of Insta360 One X3?
Does the insta 360 phone app need premium subscription for you to use all the built-in video templates/accessories?
3:55 had me cracking up in the subway hahaha
Hi! I can't get rid of the stitching line visible on 90° of a 360° images. I've tried everything, rotating camera (lenses) towards, sideways...the sun (or light source), nothing helps. Any suggestions? Will appreciate it a lot! Thank you for your videos!
I know this wasn't really a comparison of the X2 to the One R, but still, I'm wondering which to choose - what kind of photographer would choose one over the other? Or for what kind of shoot would either be better than the other? (I'm also thinking of drone-specific uses.) Thanks...
I think unless you want to spend $600+ on the OneR with the Leica lens and 1-inch sensor to get better image quality, then the X2 is the one to go with. Specs/features are almost identical, the design is easier to take with you and use handheld, the battery and water resistance are better. I think 360 videos as a whole have a ways to go as far as super clean, good image quality, but they're definitely fun to use and I like the X2 better than the OneR.
@@nichenry5220 Thanks Nic - also, is the X2 as good as the One R in "action cam" (GoPro) mode?
Ty! Buying now :)
I'm looking into getting one for my brother...
Promote this guy... in all parallel universes. Great review!
How is to shoot HDRI still to light CG scenes?
Does it do Raw well?
i love your video great tutorial
holy eff I miss those Flip Cam days...
Is it possible to stream the footage to a computer or does it have to connect to the app?
Which microSD you using for recording 5.3K on this Insta360 X2??? Let me know full specs or maybe an Amazon link?
What is the camera attached to when you're running or boarding? Is it a long pole?
Great video great hair great mustache
Just bought one, should it be warm when switched on?
Perfect points.
I have owned the One X since it hit the market, and although I have had fun with it, I confess that I'm not obsessed. When the One R came out, the versatility definitely caught my attention, but having the One X and a GoPro 8, I have been cautious about buying the One R...and now the One X2...totally confused.
I get the X2's upgraded features...and they are interesting...but my question is around the updated app. Am I able to use all the app's features with the One X?
I would think so. Insta360s app is for all their products.
Thanks! Question: if you put this camera on steady cam with one lens, and you use the invisible selfie stick, how do you turn that one lens towards you? It seems you cannot bend the camera in an angle from the selfie stick??
Well kind of the main idea is that you're always just capturing "360 degrees" and then in post you can point the camera wherever you want. But there is a mode where you can just record through one of the lenses (your choice) in regular wide angle 16:9. Also not sure what effect you'd get using it with a steady cam and selfie stick. The stabilization is pretty good handheld and the selfie stick wouldn't "get rid of" a steady cam below it.
that was buttery treflip. skates good mister
Camera is pretty amazing and good for hiking
Nice video I just ordered my one r last week may return it for x2 what do you think?
I like the X2 better. Most the baseline features/specs are similar. The form factor is easier to carry and use handheld and you can mount it on tripod/selfie stick etc without having to use a case.
@@nichenry5220 there is a vertical battery which basically transforms the one r in. Vertical design with a hole same as one x/2 but the real benefit is the stitch line and the audio, the benefit from the one r is of course the ability to change mods and to have the 4k and leica mods for much better quality in wide angle shots
Invisible selfie stick. I wonder how they did that. I saw a review on another You-tube site and did not see a selfie stick.
I was puzzled on how they were able to get it out of the shot.
Interesting technology.
Any issues with premiere pro and the low level exception gopro reframe bug?
I didn't have any major issues but it was a little slow/laggy
Very well done
Just a question - is this Camera solely for 360 video capture? Or are you able to capture quality photos?
You can switch the settings from 360 to 150 degree which will make it like a normal camera.
Can you give the link where you bought the equipment with the code?
great video, but you get my thumbs up for the Jenkem hoodie
If you choose 360 recording, does it record 360 all de time? I mean, I see the camera "spinning" in the videos, but it's not actually rotating, the camera recorded all around and when editing you choose which angle to show (because you have all angles recorded), is that it?
The quality of the review is better than the product :D
how?
great video !!
Ha ha! 😂 How’d you do that effect where you get sucked into the tv?
I searched "sucked into portal after effects" on youtube 😂
Buyer beware, the companion app (required to use) only has 2 stars on the play store. I wish someone had told me before I bought it but the terrible app experience is never noted in the reviews.
