7:03 Agree with that, that's why the Insta360 is my go-to. It's just faster to use, and i can edit cool content quite easily (im not an editor by any stretch...)
The app experience is rad on Insta360 and just getting better!
I had both, in the end I only kept using the insta exactly because of this. The app makes the difference
The reason I went for GoPro Hero 9 was the image stabilisation. I've seen comparisons where the GoPro easily out performs the 1" mod.
The other thing was ruggedness. The GoPro appears better there too, I'm not sure the 360 would survive the same impacts.
GoPro is probably the best for extreme sports like Mountain biking because of these considerations.
I'm enjoying the content! I just thought these were some fairly substantial comparisons worth adding.
Yeah, I think if you're rocking action sports, the Hero 9 has the better stabilization, but when things are going to get really rough, I switch to 360 anyways because the stabilization is ridiculously good! Like I mentioned, it's a tough comparison because I reach for different tools for different jobs. BUT, if I could only own one, I think the ONE R makes the most sense for it's ability to do more with one camera system. For what you're doing though, I would rock either the Hero 9 or the Insta ONE R in 360 mode👍
@@DavidManningvlog Cheers for the reply. I'd love to see a comparison between the 3/4 cameras you mentioned at the end.
No doubt in the future a 360 camera will be on the cards, the reason I avoided it this time was mostly down to the lower resolution you can pull off, or that's what seemed to be the case. The idea of 4/5k stabilised was an exciting prospect.
David, I had the 360 One R. However, I couldn't get it out of 480 resolution in Premier Pro. Any insight as to what I was doing wrong? I even exported from the Insta software to premier. But still no dice, so I got rid of it and havestuck with my gopros since. I want the 360 capability, but if I can't get that quality it's not worth it
No idea man! Are you sure that you were filming in a higher resolution on the camera?
Hey David, I have a general question off topic from this video. In your opinion, what's better? GoPro floating grip or the GoPole Bobber? please let me know as I'm unsure of which one to buy.
I haven't used the GoPro floating grip, but I do have the GoPole Bobber and it's pretty dang sweet!
I love all your video man 🙌🏻 your the best 🙌🏻
I looked HARD at the One R for all these reasons. I do paragliding, hanggliding, paramotoring, ultralight flying, airplanes, motorcycles and scuba with my GoPro 9 and the Lens Mod works great for mounting it ON the kite itself and never goes upside down from the SW as a result. I chose to just keep my setup GoPro consistent however I don't have a 360 camera and that pole etc would have been far greater for my motorcycle-Baja ride and I wished I had it for that. However, I'm impressed with GoPro's updates and am told their app has some cool updates coming as well. Who knows, my next one might be the One R and having both would be a great way to go maybe next year.
if you have that many gopros as I do, I'd say stick to the same system for color grading purposes. It's one of the reasons why I never switched over to insta. Grading on multiple cameras with the same colors is way easier to do.
@@CheeseOnEverything for sure. Good point
That's a whole lot of cool stuff you do and I'm bummed that you haven't already played in the world of 360! If you get a chance to try out a 360 cam, try the X2 since you already have the GoPro 9👍
David great video and would love to see the GoPro 9/MAX vs Insta360 Expert Edition video
I heard that there is an issue of over heating on insta360? Many videos on TH-cam complaining about this issue and the bubble that a appears inside the lens when it is little cold outside. Any suggestions?
To my knowledge, that was on the first release editions. I have't had any issues with mine and I film pretty extensively with it while I'm testing for these videos. Quite possible though, I just haven't seen it at all
@@DavidManningvlog thanks s lot for your reply, I appreciate it.
I went with a Hero 9 when I picked up my first-ever action camera back at the start of December, as I'm primarily interested in timelapses/hyperlapses (and from my research it seemed pretty good for those) and am not really interested in 360° footage. I've been quite impressed with it so far; as someone who's done amateur astrophotography before I was blown away with how good its nighttime timelapses are for being so simple to set up. I managed to catch the Jupiter/Saturn Grand Conjunction earlier this week, and the view from inside an Australian hailstorm the week before Christmas. Definitely appreciate your coverage though! I've been researching the decision since around July, now that GoPro has some decent competition.
@Fortnite Nicholas It works well for the things I want to film, anyway (not being interested in 360° video at the moment).
I have GoPro Hero 7 cameras and the Insta360 One R Aerial Edition for the Mavic Pro. The drone configuration did not work well at all, but the split 360 mod and the 4K mod work well by themselves after the summer/fall 2020 firmware upgrades. I decided to upgrade my Insta360 One R setup by purchasing a second Insta360 One R Core module so I have two functional Insta360 One R cameras. The Insta360 One R core module costs around $200 USD, so that still makes it a few dollars cheaper than the GoPro Hero 9 Black and GoPro Max. Thanks for making this video!
Glad you didn't drop it. I bought the insta360, but I'll eventually get the gopro 9 as well. Love to see an video on the Inch Mod vs Gopro hero 9. Great vid!
I think that video needs to be made! There's different reasons and situations that I reach for each of those two cameras. Yep, that video shall be made👍
Quick question are these good for recording my kids volleyball games/tournaments? And if so which edition should I go with? Twin edition?R One inch or Go Pro 9 or Max?
Hello David we hope all is well . we have been looking onto getting the Hero 9 I do like to watch your reviews b4 i actually buy as i feel like you give the best advice. Thanks for sharing Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
The Hero 9 is a super dope camera and you'll love it! I use the Hero 9 and the ONE R in 360 mode as my daily drivers👍
I have had a GoPro8 for over a year and choose it over the Insta360 R due to the audio quality, however we just recently also purchased an Insta360 X2 in hopes that my wife can utilize it with her cooking channel and not need to setup multiple camera angles to start out. I'm sure I will use it as a walkaround with the kids while having the GoPro8 for the talking portions. I never really liked the idea of carrying around the modules for the Insta360 R. Sometimes you just need to get the shot and the Insta360 R would have the wrong lens on it. If you have two devices you have a better chance to get the shot especially if you are not having to fuss with the case. If I had to recommend one I would probably tell people to get the Insta360 X2 and use your phone if you find you need a non-360 camera, however I have seen people use just a 360 camera for everything.
Finally somebody beat the Go Pro 9 . King Insta for the win 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯.
The 5k gopro 9 image is incredible, I wouldn't dethrone it just yet. I would have to say the gopro is still better, I have the proof if you wanna see it.
Yeah, I wouldn't say dethroned yet. There's pros and cons for both still, but for sure on the 360 side Insta360 is the way to go👍
DAVID! 157K.....WHAT!?!? Congratulations man you have earned iT ALL. I remember 2.5k when I found you, seems like last summer. I think you made some great points for all three cameras and after a year shooting both the GoPro products.....I am going Insta 360 on the next purchase baby. Your point of the MAX editing is a very strong point, and for an action cam beginner this year it has been a real chore to get through. So much so I find myself going single lense on the MAX to avoid the post labor BS.
Dude, it's insane man! Super stoked to see all the support on this channel! And I'm with you, the post work can be a beast. As a heads up though, it's for sure still there on the ONE R when you're in 360 mode, they've just got some AI options to ease the process. For 360 footage especially, I'm loving the Insta360 options. Been working with the X2 a bunch lately!
Have both. The insta360 is better in low light but I find the inst360 freezes up more often the gopro9. Minimum Focal distance on insta360 1 inch sensor makes selfie video work tough to focus. I grab the gopro9 unless I need 360 option. Great review.
That's essentially how I use them as well. I think though for someone that doesn't want/can't afford two cameras, the Expert Edition is a pretty sweet choice👍
Excellent review. This helped more than most 13 other videos I’ve seen; and was a fraction of the time to watch 👌🏼
I can't agree more with the app experience, Insta360 really nails it, the viewfinder and deep track are insane
Viewfinder is what sold it for me!👍
Much awaited
Me too man! It was hard to finally nail down my thoughts on all of this!
@@DavidManningvlog was super confused between which one buy. Finally going for the 360 One R
Hey it's me again I just wanted to say that you are probably my new fav youtuber because now channels with over mill only follow what's trending and channels like yours listen to their fans, so ya
Well hopefully I can get to be one of those channels over a million and still listen and be engaged in the comments👍
I absolutely think you offer the very best reviews for all levels. You are very inviting in your tone and you knowledge is awesome. You have definitely had influences on my cam purchases and how I go about video in my novice family/dad videographer (if that's a thing haha). With hI had more cash flow to get them all....but hey I have kids. Have the GP9 but man the Insta360!!!!!!
Thanks man, super kind of you to say! And I'm totally with you, there's so many other cameras out there that I wish I could just try out and play with! Being a dad is quite the pricey venture🤣
Hey David... I'm a professional photographer that is just now getting into the video world and starting a channel in the near future. I just bought the Insta360 One R 1 Inch and want to thank you for all your advice. I really enjoy you channel and found it invaluable in my learning curve. Also want to add another advantage about the 360... although the cage makes it slightly larger you are getting more protection and also cold shoe as well which the GoPro doesn't have. Looking forward to learning more from you and your channel.... Tnx a lot Larry ps yes I subscribed...
Stoked for you to start a channel Larry! I think the move from photography to videography is really natural because you're already used to seeing light, composition, and focal range adjustments. The tricky bits are audio, stabilization, and nailing white balance in camera because you're not shooting raw video files. Excited to see what you create Larry!
I like the idea of being modular a lot but I’m hooked on the GoPro ecosystem because of GoPro Plus’s unlimited, uncompressed cloud storage. Can you do a review on that and maybe suggest some alternatives to the cloud storage. I film a lot when I mountain bike and the unlimited storage is definitely a game changer! It’s the reason I still use the karma drone with a hero 7.
I think it's a genius move to begin creating an ecosystem for GoPro! Because like you mentioned, once you're in an ecosystem, you're much more likely to continue to purchase products that fit that ecosystem! I'll get working with their cloud storage a bit and then see if I can find a better alternative👍
Yes finally!! Been waiting for this!
Yes review both of them I would love that. I’m looking for a camera that I could flip over and still film and see my self at the same time and I could take video and photos also water prove. Suggestions please
great video, HNY 2021!
Loved the video, as always. 157 K subs! Dang man! Congratulations! I feel like an OG here, started watching when you were around 3K. I’m surprised people watch this and think you’re biased. Your body of work speaks for itself. You say what you think. You’re right, if you were to have to pick one (which you don’t) get the Insta. Many people only want to buy one and that is the premise for this video. Well done. Me however... I have three GoPro’s and since I do canoeing and motorcycle videos, it’s super helpful to have at least two cameras to get different viewpoints at he same time and make my videos more interesting. I totally see the value of the Insta modular system but I just can’t make the jump. Too deep in the GoPro “ecosystem” (sorry for he misuse of the term that really applies to Apple products more than any other product)
Craziness, right?! And you are one of the OGs on here! I also couldn't agree with you more. If you're doing something where multiple cameras helps, boom load it up with GoPros! But if you're looking to buy one system that can do it all, that's where the ONE R really shines. Also, the ecosystem thing totally applies with GoPro and why I think a lot of people chose the MAX as their 360 cam. Which has also caused a lot of bummed out people😬 For me, it's a GoPro 9 with ONE R as my 360 cam👍
@@DavidManningvlog Ooooooh! I’m an OG! Love it! Thanks as always. Great video.
Let’s get him to 200
Let's go Missy!
@@DavidManningvlog we got this
Hey David! I was just making decision between the GoPro 9 and Ista 360 R and this video is absolutely great and answers all my questions which I had as I do a lot of photography and wanna do more of POV.
nice love the vids, Thanks
Love to see the video comparing the Insta 1 Inch against the Go Pro 9
For sure on it👍
Awesome Video. Insta360 Everyday of the week for me. It is outstanding! The Small Screen is a pain, but, it is a small sacrifice!
I bought the hero 9 to upgrade from my hero5. I am mainly using it for action shots: snowboarding, driving, hiking. I really don't have a use for 360 at this point. Would the oneR be better for my applications? So far im pleased with the hero 9, the stability is amazing. Just wondering if its a better option
Dude I got the max lens mod when it was in stock. I absolutely love the max lens mod
The MAX lens mod is super dope! I made a whole video on that thing!
Turn me on to that mod please
Great video! I run two cameras when l’m out shooting, the GoPro 8 and the Insta360 R In 360 mode. I really want to try the one inch sensor. Might be a little gift fir myself this year. Thanks for going through this topic.
That's a killer setup you have Bob! I think where the 1" would add value for you is in low light. Indoor situations and just generally low light is where you'll see the biggest value add for the 1" sensor👍
I'm trying to understand why someone would need a Max and a 9 since the Max does regular non-360 photos and videos. So wouldn't that be a plus to going with the Max? Best of both worlds without adding/swapping any additional pieces?
i love this review! I'm planning to upgrade my go pro hero 8 to insta 360 twin edition, can't take the expert ed hehe..
I really love this channel :)
from philippines ❤❤
Nice catch!
Great comparison David! Really helpful!
Very biased feeling but expected with a sponsored vid but love the channel still
Totally get that response, but legit there were no strings attached on this one. I think once I get the video on the Hero 9 vs One Inch Mod up, that'll show a better comparison on those two cameras. There's still for sure some major wins for the GoPro, which is why I say that I reach for different cameras in different situations. Stoked to share that video!
@@DavidManningvlog Yet, Excellent video David, I love my GP9 w the the supermaxview lens
@@luispablolee77 yep me too bro
Not the case man. Manning will shoot you straight. All points made pro and con ( owning both GoPros) are well founded.
@@DavidManningvlog when it comes to 1) stabilisation 2) underwater shoot and 3)image quality (real 5k), then the hero 9 has no opponent in the action cameras category
I'm one of those who pre-ordered the Insta360 1-inch version when it was first announced because I was so hyped on their 1-inch sensor, low light performance and insanely sharp 5.3K footage... BUT, since I've got it, I didn't use it ONCE!
The problem with this is the minimum focus distance, stabilization, and audio quality! Even with the optional audio jack for an external mic, it is pretty much useless :O
Then I put myself together and ordered the 4K mod, to at least cope with the minimum focus distance problem, but now, the quality has become so bad that I didn't use it either.
You are right about Insta360 doing a great job at working on firmware and stuff, but even now after almost 2 years (?) it still is unusable for what most people do...
If only I knew this before.
I think that there is no place for an action camera in the world of hobby or professional videographers because it only does that one job and not even the way most people would want it to do.
Still, you are doing a great job with your reviews, and definitely have my sub!
Hi Alex @LXAP Production it's interesting reading your statement, "The problem with this is the minimum focus distance, stabilization, and audio quality! Even with the optional audio jack for an external mic, it is pretty much useless :O ." Would you also add image quality on the Insta360 1-inch not being particularly impressive as well? Although, I think @David Manning is absolutely correct about the low light capabilities of the Insta360 1-inch. But I'm just finding the company Insta360 is constantly trying to catch up with firmware updates to extend the camera's capabilities. I really wanna believe that this 1-inch sensor can output a higher dynamic range and better image quality in optimal lighting situations. However, based on youtube video comparisons my eyes tell me that GoPro 9 engineers surpass the results of the Insta360 camp. The 1-inch sensor might be 4 times the size of the GoPro 1/2.3-inch, but it's clearly not producing better overall image quality.
does your gopro list work with the hero 9 also ? im sorry if its a dumb question i dont know much about go pros
What GoPro list do you mean? List of accessories?
@@DavidManningvlog yes for the new go pro? im looking for accessories. and I see you have a amazon thing but does those work with the gopro9 or just gopro 8?
I hit the like button before I watch the video.
And you're the real hero!
@@DavidManningvlog Not sure how but you are more than welcome to think it.
Yesss, my exact current dilemma. Thank you @davidmanning and thank you @insta360 !!
#davidmanning #insta360
Great review. I really disliked the MAX as well. Returned it and bought the ONE R minus the 1”. My go to setup right now though is the 9 with the max lens mod !
Have an Insta360 One R and would trade it for a GoPro Hero 9. Modularity sounds cool in concept, but that means lugging around a lot more stuff (or even worse a case to hold the other components). The cage is awful and is another component and if you opt for the extra battery which has a direct mount then the unit itself is not as stable. Only so many times want 360 footage and editing in the app is a pain / time consuming
Interesting to hear! I think for sure the main reason to go for the ONE R is the 360 mod and if you're not shooting much 360, then the GoPro is for sure the better route to go just for ease of use👍
I can't find a video comparing the One R and the One X, did you make one?
One thing you missed is availability. Yes you can order the Insta 360 online but good luck finding it stores (at least in Canada). Gopros are available everywhere.
Very good video David!! Thank you! You gave me the recommendation to get the One R over the Max and I couldn't be happier. I own the Hero 9 and 8, and Insta360 with the 360 lens and the 1 inch sensor. 360 wise, you are correct, Insta360 is great with the app, shot lab, all of that. When shooting regular footage though, I personally like how GoPro footage looks. Its like how Apple people prefer Apple photos and Samsung people prefer Samsung photos. Nothing wrong with either, just personal preference I guess. If only a company would mash these 2 together and get the functionality of the Insta360, the footage quality and color profile of GoPro and then throw in the Insta360 app with shot labs. Prefection!!!! And yes, please do a Hero 9 vs 1 Inch sensor video. Would love to see it!! Thanks again for all the great videos David!!
For sure there's going to be some preference there and for what you're doing! It's awesome that you're in a similar position as me where you have a lot of tools to go to for different situations. I love the Hero 9, but when it's towards the end of the day, indoor or just lower light situations, I always reach for the 1" ONE R because of how well it performs! Fun to have options👍
@@DavidManningvlog Agreed!! The Insta360 1 inch definitely outperforms the Hero 9 in different occasions. But in other cases, I just like the color profile of the Hero 9. Just like u.... wishing they could combine the best parts of both cameras and just have 1 great camera. But having options is always good!!!
This post is really revealing, so thank you @David Manning and @Jel Novotny. I'm looking at purchasing either the Insta360 1-Inch or GoPro 9. On paper, the 1-Inch seems to be the obvious choice but my eyes tell me the opposite as the GoPro9 produces generally better video under optimal lighting.
@@SaranginSF I would probably tell u to get the Hero 9. Unless u were thinking of getting a 360 camera at some point in the near feature. Then price wise the Insta360 is a better deal. Personally, I like the look and color profile of GoPro cameras over the Insta360. Insta360 and the 1 inch mod only beats GoPro Hero9 in low light conditions
I have the ONE R, and it's definitely the winner in the game!!!
Really well said! I think that the insta 360 world is really gaining ground. I love their cams! it is crazy to me that 360 cams haven't caught on as much.
What do you think of the hero 9 with Maxx lens mod?
Great videos! Thank you for the content!
Tempting package but why have you not covered stabilization in your comparison?
Stabilization is amazing with the 360 mod, especially because it includes horizon leveling. 4K mod has stabilization but not horizon leveling so the difference is noticeable.
Or audio
This wasn't so much a full comparison of the two cameras as much as it was answering the question of if you were to buy one camera, which would it be. I've talked about stabilization of the Hero 9 on this channel a ton and that's why it's my main action cam, like I mentioned at the beginning of the video, along with the ONE R in 360 mode. I'll for sure tackle stabilization more in the direct comparison of the Hero 9 and 1" Mod👍
Hey Dave 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️, Good to see you today 🍻
Thanks for stopping by and hanging out for a bit!
You finally did it!!!!!!! Lol
Dude, FINALLY! It's so hard to choose just one!🤣
@@DavidManningvlog please you should talk more about the insta360 app. thats where the camera leaves all other in the dust
Hi I’m new to your content and love it! Question for not sure if you have this comparison, so apologies if you do.... debating between one x2 or 1r?
My work gave me a Go Pro Hero 9 for filming with but I find it frustrating and difficult to use. I really want to get the Insta ONE R.
Everyone riding the GoPro at release mysteriously remembered that they owned a one r a couple months after 😂
Both super dope cameras!
I like the low light performance of the one inch. Impressive!
Totally Fay, in comparison to the GoPro, it's on a totally different level in low light! If they can get the stabilization on the One Inch Sensor as good as the GoPro, then they'll really have a solid setup and I don't think I'll reach for my GoPro much at all
Great vid buddy! I still don't use the insta just cuz the cage is so fiddly, changing the battery alone is annoying enough that I won't touch it. Using your comparison, yes it's more expensive to go the gopro route but, having 2 cameras is always better than 1. I'm not a huge fan of either apps for reframe, they really need to work on that. I edit all my footage on the computer cuz I'm filming more for the cinematics so with that being said, gopro has better integration with the adobe premiere preset (gopro reframe). In terms of low light footage, if you haven't seen my 5k Gopro Hero 9 at night in Toronto video already, go check it out, I'm sure you'll be blown away at how good the gopro 9 is compared to the insta even with a 1 inch sensor. Would be curious to see how the 1 inch insta would perform if I used the same rig, but sadly I don't have the insta nor do I plan on buying another action cam, cuz I already have 7 of them and they're all gopros lol. IMO, I think image stabilization alone on the gopro 9 kills the insta already hands down.
Yeah, I think two cameras is always better than one, but for this video I was trying to answer that question that people keep asking of "what if I only want to buy one camera?" Because I almost always run a GoPro 9 as my main camera and a ONE R 360 mod as my 360 camera, like I mentioned at the beginning of the video. I'm shocked though to hear that you got better results out of the GoPro 9 at night than the 1 " mod on the Insta360. I've tried a ton of different low light tests with the two and the 1" mod has crushed the GoPro in every one of them. With a 1" sensor though, it makes sense that would be the case. The real question is what GoPro could do with a GoPro PRO that was a GoPro with a 1" sensor. Now that's what I want to see!
Hey guys! I loved that video, i just want to know, whitch one of those camera take the better picture? Thanks!
That'll be the 1" sensor as well! Just a more detailed image and more detail in the RAW file to edit with
Does the Insta1R Have the same or better stability as the go pro's?
In 4K mode, the Insta360 has really good stability, but the Hero 9 has it beat. But in 360 mode, the ONE R stability is incredible!!!
We get it you love the insta 360.
I mean, like I mentioned, I also love the GoPro👍
@@DavidManningvlog it’s just very difficult when someone like me who’s never owned a GoPro before finally after watching all your videos I decide on a 9. Then it seems like all of sudden the insta 360 is your action camera of choice. I’m not able to afford both so it’s a very difficult decision for me and now you’ve made the decision process harder........ so thanks for that.
Hi David, I think you forget to talk about the go pro 9 360 adapter plus the always keep the horizon on, really important
Hello David, i have same questions about using action cam,
1. Can we use action cam as a dash cam in a car, motorcycle, or when cycling as a safety camera? if can, how we do it?
2. Can we plug the charging cable in the car, so we dont have to replace the battery if we drive for 6 hours.
3. Can we record using Gopro and friends continously for some hours? as a dash cam.
4. How Gopro and friends keep recording for many hours if it can, by rewriting the first file if the memory card already full?
5. How many hours Gopro and friends become too hot if we keep recording for many hours, and is there any heat sensor to shut it off automatically?
6. How does it create and store the file? by separate each file for every 5 min for example, or can it record lets say 6 hours in one file?
7. What can of file Gopro, Insta360, DJI Osmo create? mp4 or whatever file they do? can we watch the file straight away in a laptop? and which one the easiest file to watch in laptop or phone?
8. If we only one chance to get one action cam, GoPro 9, DJI Osmo pocket 2, Insta360 Go 2, or 360 One R?
Thank you, i hope you can explain may questions, because i think you didnt explain these in this video.
Insta360 for sure! Software is awesome and allows me to edit my videos super fast whereas took me so long on my old GoPro.
The software is for sure a major plus for me! The new AI stuff is clever, although I don't use much of it, but the AI tricks that help me reframe faster are pure gold!
I have a question. I am interested in the Hero 9 because it has the ability to set a time to start recording. I have heard that there is a problem if you set it to start hours later. Do you have any knowledge about this problem? I have two Hero 8's and a Hero 4 and the Fusion. I seldom use the Fusion because of the quality and the time required to process it in the video editing program.
I love the idea of the Insta360, and the AI tracking in the software would make my life so much easier. The 1 inch sensor seems incredible too. But for me, the biggest reason I went with the GoPro Max is because I hit skateparks and have cracked lenses from bails and slams. The fact that GoPro has cheap and easily replaceable lens covers was exactly what I need. Secondary reason was because I was already in the GoPro ecosystem with a Hero 6 and remote, making capturing multiple angles with the press of one button (and being able to mark the good takes easily by hitting the mode button to add a highlight) was easy. I was disappointed that GoPro didn't have a PC app when I first picked it up, but it looks like they released one now. So fortunately I'm no longer stuck editing all the 360 footage on my phone!
There's for sure an added benefit to staying within an ecosystem. Mainly that you're using one app and one desktop program instead of two different company's apps and desktop programs. I haven't really used the GoPro MAX with the remote much, but there's for sure some sweet shots that we could probably get if we did!
Really like your channel, but I have a question, I'm confused between a GoPro Hero 9 and Insta360 X2, and I can afford only one. I like the 360 format and the capabilities a lot, I want one for taking videos on my motorcycle and have no past experience in this and don't want to hassle with framing the shot etc, while this is possible in the insta360, it's not in GoPro, but hero9 has better image quality, do you think it's worth getting the insta360 one X2 over the hero 9, considering the added 360 benefit. And yeah I know about the one R but I don't really like that, it's more expensive if I go for the twin edition, and out of my league when it comes to the one inch mod, these cameras cost almost $140 more, due to taxes.
i wish you wouldn't have just skimmed over the audio factor. since audio is SO important for vlogging, some consider it even more important than the video, it should be weighed more heavily in this consideration. I'd go with the hero 9 with the audio adapater. I don't need 360. Also. You are comparing the 1inch sensor vs the hero9, that's not the same as the standard insta360 lens. Again, we are waiting to see your review of the media mod for the 9 too. We need AUDIO testing!
I'll dive more into the audio when I do the Hero 9 vs 1" Mod on the ONE R. The main reason I did it this way and not the 4K mod is that the Expert Edition is now cheaper than the GoPro alternative. And with the Hero 9 being 5K it makes sense to compare to Insta360's 5.3K version and not their 4K mod. I'll get more into audio in that next video though👍
@@DavidManningvlog cool
@David Manning any idea, how to operate the Insta360 under water? the case only has 2 buttons, so if i preset it for video, is there a way to change it to pictures, without taking out the camera from its case? when diving/snorkeling a bit inconvenient.
I'm almost positive there's not. Similar to GoPro, you sort of have to choose a mode on the surface, then dive down and film or take pictures. That's why you see a lot of divers have rigs with multiple cameras on there. They'll have a video and a still frame camera side by side
Pro for GoPro. I have Hero 9 and love it!
It is one damn good camera!
yep just got the 9 and absolutely in love with it, wouldn't change it for anything else
Gopro Hero 9 !!!
all day
I bought the Insta360 One R Tween Edition with the 360 and the 4K length. I am a blind photographer and videographer and I can achieve amazing things with the Insta360, exactly because of the app. Never even thought of Hero 9, because of my 12 Pro Max.
I currently don’t have a 360 camera, and was looking at the i360 One x, however I think the one R makes a lot of sense. For sports such as cycling, skating, skiing and paddleboarding, having the option to shoot great 360 and great video seems like a winner
Great. Just spent 500$ on GoPro accessories for the Hero 9 I got as a gift. Started getting mad at the media adapter / media mod price & bulk, and had already accepted the low light performance. Now I want the Insta 360, which wins at both, AND does 360 in one package. FML.
It's the insta360 for me, I'm surprised it looks so much better at 5:07
Wich camera would you said is the best for diving? thx
good stuff! I already have the hero 7 black and thinking of getting a 360 camera so thinking about the insta360 one x2. So will have two cameras but I kind of like the one x2 and the reviews on it. but it is kind of expensive too creator kit $500. hmm.....
The Hero 7 and X2 would be a really sweet kit!
YES! to the 1 on 1 video. I'm not really interested in the 360 part. I want to change up from my GP7 and am interested in the Insta 1" sensor. BUT...will it survive hanging outside on a 4x4 offroad? Are there ND filters for it? Enquiring minds want to know!!! ;-)
Oh man, you're doing 4x4 off-roading and you don't want to film in 360?! You would get some insanely cool shots on a 360, but for what you're doing, especially if you're looking to use ND filters, I would stick with the GoPro👍
I chose the Gopro Hero 9 as my first action cam. I wanted something that my phone and DSLR could not do and that is be waterproof. Gopro is king and established. Everyone seems to make a goro accessory or mount. Plus is that if I find I don't really need an action cam in my bag down the line, Gopros hold their value and I can sell it for not much of a loss.
I did a lot of video reviews (at the time when gopro 9 was available), I eventually purchased the insta360 x2 and the DJI Osmo Action
Awesome review once again. I never own a GoPro b4 but definitely would wanna get hero 9 if I have an extra $$$ to spend for it. Which one I would pick over the other tho? Hmmm One R for sure! I do own one X tho and I ordered One X2 which I’m excited to get before Christmas oh and I own osmo action but again never had GoPro b4
You have some sweet choices Nino!
just for what I usaly use action cameras for I think I would use gopro. I don’t think I would use 360 much or at all. also the insta 360 just seems more fiddily with always having to take it apart and putting it back together and If you accidentally drop one peice into the ocean, a lake, puddle or off of a cliff you are kinda done because then you will not be able to shoot for the rest of the day, week or worse a whole trip. that is just my thoughts on the topic.
Yeah, if you're not going to use 360 much, then go for the GoPro. But once you start messing with 360, immediately look at Insta360. Maybe get their X2 camera if you're worried about dropping things. They're way ahead of GoPro in that realm!
How is the audio on the One R without an external microphone?
You convinced me. Insta360 for me.
Dave, if you can, please do a comparison between the DJI RSC2 and the Weebill S Gimbals, that would be awesome
Man, I've been reaching out to DJI just to see if they'll send over a test unit for review and I've gotten nothing back from them. Sorry man, once I'm a bit larger on this platform, hopefully we'll get to test out all the fun toys!
Hi i watched so much of your vids before I bought my boyfriend his first goprohero 9, 🙌🏻
Im just wondering if you can make a video of goprohero9 vs DJI pocket2?
Im intrigued 😅
I would LOVE to, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a Pocket 2 yet! I'm working on it though👍
Here's a question for you, how much 360 video are you actually shooting? It gives you some cool angles you couldn't get any other way but I don't know how often I would use it. I do like that the 1" sensor is way better in low light than GoPro but you give up a little of the stabilization and horizon leveling of the GoPro.
Personally, I shoot quite a bit of 360 video because it's usually me on camera doing the action. I think that if you're filming someone else doing action, then it makes sense to grab a GoPro or the 1" Mod. When I'm the one doing the action though, it's tough to focus on surfing or snowboarding while also focusing on keeping yourself in frame👍
@@DavidManningvlog Thanks, started watching your channel when you put out the Maui baby moon videos. Since that is the type of video I would like to be shooting I continued watching your tech reviews to see which cameras you were using and why.
GoPro > Insta360. American > Chinese. that's how I see it. I have both the Max and the GoPro hero 9 Black, when I could've just as easily gone with the latter. I also heard that if you don't have the latest and greatest iPhone, the insta360's app tend to crash. so that means I have to upgrade my phone too. With that said, I'll take the GoPro.
Damn, my whole channel runs on a GoPro 😂haven’t tried it out at night but based on your videos I think it GoPro is even darker because u r at a beach with no city lights
The GoPro is awesome when there's plenty of light, but for sure struggles hard in low light. I always have people hitting me up for advice on how to shoot at night with a GoPro and unfortunately with that small of a sensor, there's just no good option. Still a dope camera though!
@@DavidManningvlog what settings would you recommend if you where shooting in low light with a gopro
Get the crane m2 gimbal and ur gopro will look like a pro mirrorless camera at night
I ordered gopro hero 9 last week. Should I return it and get insta360
You know I got the insta360 one R when it first came out and it has been a love hate relationship. I think the experience on the app really depends on what phone you are using it with. Iphone - no issues. If you are using it on Android, your mileage really varies from the app being unusable on certain phones to just as good as the iPhone on others. The camera sometimes just doesn't turn off and you have to pull the battery. It has it's quirks and I wish you had covered some of those in your review but when it works, it works great.
im still wondering which i should be buying.
Insta360 One R = still available here in my country but from my research, there are multiple instances where the unit that you get out of the box is a lemon.
Insta 360 One X2 = stocks and accessories are limited. no long term reviews or videos about common issues regarding the one x2 as well.
I think between the two, the question is whether you have another camera already. If you already have something like a GoPro or Osmo Action, then I would say go for the X2. But if you want one camera that can do 360 and regular action cam, then go for ONE R👍
@@DavidManningvlog thanks for the advice! I agree i think the one x2 would be worth the wait since i already have a GoPro hero 6
love the modular design of insta360!!!
Hey David. I didn’t know that about the low light thing on the one R I like my 4K sensor thingy. But that’s pretty sick. Might upgrade to that in the future
Also by friend. I thought insta 360 was only waterproof when it’s clicked into the frame?
Also wicked Jedi reflexes at the end
Yeah, the 1" sensor is wild to have in an action camera! Way better low light and detail in the image. And the ONE R is waterproof as soon as it's clicked together, but it's best to put it into the cage so you don't accidentally dismantle it under water👍
The winner goes for Insta360! I will definitely buy the ONE R during the sale. Thank you!
I am a huge GoPro fan and user but I like the bigger sensor on the Insta.
That describes me perfectly!
I will get insta 360 for 1 inch sensor and image quality and 360 mode. I own hero 7 and i don't see the reason to switch to hero 8 o 9. If u use it on bike or hardcore sports - there is the spot for gopro. If u walk around the city or do travel vlogs - u can take insta 360 with 1 inch sensor. In My opinion gopro is more durable.
I think you're right on all of that Pawel!
Loved the video! Yet, the one aspect I was hoping you'd cover would be the durability, or the possibility of replacing the lenses if they get bumped. Just like when one drops the lens like you almost did.
I dropped my insta360 One X and one lens is scratched. No way to replace it or fix it. So, how does the Insta360 One R give us a solution to problems like dropping your lens? How much would it cost me to replace just either the One inch or the 360 lens if damaged. And do they have lens covers that you can use WHILE recording so that they may stay protected WHILE using them. After all, they are action cameras.
Thanks!
all 360 cams have the same problem, the lenses have to be the protruding part of the unit to get the 360 view. My best advice is to buy a case for transporting it and use it more carefully than you would other action cams.
@@CheeseOnEverything thanks for he reply. (Love the name, by the way haha)
I'm not sure, but I think I saw a review somewhere that mentioned you could replace the lens on the GoPro Max (or was it the fusion?). That, in my opinion, is a practical advantage.
I have an adventure case on my insta360 One X. I just happened to drop it the one time I didn't place it in the case... Ugh.... Anyway, using the case makes it heavier when on the extended invisible stick and can't record sound.
I think all these cameras should have a way of protecting their lenses, just like you can replace the lense on the regular GoPro Hero 9.
Yup, Cheese is right on this one, 360 cameras are just more fragile! BUT, the ONE R does have the ability to swap out the 360 mod bit without swapping out the whole camera. I'm not sure what GoPro charges to replace the lenses on the MAX, but on the ONE R, you could just pop out the 360 mod for a new one for $180. Not cheap, but better than having to replace the whole camera👍
@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to more of your videos.
GoPro screwed up by not sponsoring David Manning first
