don't worry, KZread is thanking him

Dude, I have never, ever, ever, felt so immersed in a review, so involving. Such a great tech reviewer. Amazing.

I just started watching your videos late last year and can I just say THANK YOU! Besides being entertaining, your videos definitely give me a better perspective on which equipment to purchase without being worried about how that piece of equipment will perform. I still do my own research but it is nice to have it confirmed by someone with your skillset and knowledge. I definitely appreciate your honest reviews and comparisons and can't wait to see the next one. Thanks again!!!

I was thinking about googling reviews of this camera today... So glad you released this review!

Yes! I love watching reviews about products I really want to buy but can't afford. Lol Been waiting for this video :)

Hey Gene, I just saw the video about Matti’s mini doc on you and I must say your work ethic is nuts. Mind me asking how you manage work and “family” time (e.g. your wife/gf)? Just curios. Thanks!

I've been thinking about buying one of these cameras for a long time. A friend recommended your channel around the same time you posted this video. I've just watched it now and thanks for the cool in-depth review.

Appreciate the testing of handling mic noise, fixed focus, and the explanation on low light and digital stabilization 💚

Is it splitting the recording into several files like GoPro does?

Made it till the enddd and could watch much longer lol

I’ve been waiting for a through review of this camera and specifically the 1” sensor! Appreciate the work you put in for these reviews.

That shot of you falling into the pool was cool! I am always trying to find ways to make holding the stick look natural, you pulled it off with that shot.

13:59 sounds like the audio record bitrate is the issue

13:09 that mic moving really shows how much stabilization is going on in the insta360 cam.

Very educational video, u answered all my questions about the Insta360 ONE R Twin camera and options. Especially enjoyed The side-by-side comparison to the GoPro. Also you were able to answer a lot of questions I had not thought of as yet. Your storytelling, moving around action, and match up comparisons were much more entertaining than the Talking Heads we normally get to see. Keep up the great work!😇

Love how Potato Jet reviews products!

Great video as always Mr. Jet, and thanks so much again for the hard drive! P.S. My wife has now called you Potato Head, Potato Salad and Potato Sack since I introduced her to your channel... we'll get her to get it right soon I promise!

Great review! Loved that you cover things that are often overlooked, such as workflow and handling noise. Especially workflow is inportant! Next time it would ve helpful to also review the app (I know I know your video is superlong already). I would be interested in the differences in editing and smart editing functionalities. Love your work!

At the top of the very best of all the reviews. Really looking forward to having it all arrive so I can start playing.

So I do have the GoPro Hero 8, but want a 360° cam, as choosing angles in post is exactly what I need to ensure I film an experience, not make filming the experience. So I need a durable, 360° camera with good sound and perfect stitching. Low light performance would be nice, too. What should I get? Edit: Could you do a GoPro Max vs Insta360 One R side-by-side video? Maybe with some low light for us to see how bad it is?

Mine didn’t come with a cold shoe mount on top. How do I get a frame/case with that on top!!? That would be so much better!

People will watch your long videos forever Gene, whether it's about something they're into or not, because you are so entertaining, in a comfortable friendly and honest way. And yes, you do cover what seems like EVERYTHING one can consider about each product. It's ALWAYS time well spent watching this channel. Cheers

Damn.... I don’t think anybody can hold a candle to your skill of doing detailed reviews. Thanks guys!

The mic adapter alone makes this action cam a real contender for motovlogging. Honestly, I kinda wish I'd known about it before I got my gopro.

Such a great review and inside into all these devices. Awesome job!

Hi Gene. Great review. Thanks :) Welcome to the wonderful world of *"Passive" versus "Active" audio adapters.* The little black USB-C adapter for the Insta 360 is most likely (Due to its size) a "passive" Mic adapted input, whereas there's no processing or signal eq circuitry, thus lower recorded volume and flater, unprocessed sounding audio. On the other hand, the GoPro Mic adapter is much larger, probably an "active" Mic adapter, thus it's getting some power from the GoPro USB-C side input and is processing and eq'ing and amplifying the signal coming in from the external Mic. Also, the GoPro is probably processing the audio in camera as well, using extra analogue to digital converter quality chip and firmware algorithm to post process the audio a little before digitizing it into a .wav or whatever audio format it's recording the audio portion of the video file in. This would be my best guess as to why there's such a difference between the two camera external Mic input solutions.

@@markjob6354 For the internal mic, I have to increase the volume level (in post) by 48db to reach normal levels which is insane... Even then, the sound is still muddy.. like you're under water. And you can hear audio clippings everywhere(due to over compression).. I ordered a mic adapter and see how a mic would do. But from what I saw from others, the mic levels are weaker.. but let's see.. Also another is the Horizontal lock. It's only available when you have the 360 module (even in post).. If you only attach the 4k Lens module you won't have it. GoPro and DJI have those even on their none 360 cameras and it's process in camera and not in post (in your computer).. These reviewers are over hyping this product. Even my cheap SJ8(which is not pretending to be a flagship brand) have better audio.. I should have gotten the GoPro or DJI. I think those companies really did their homework with regards to audio.

Quality content as always. Amazing that we get to watch all this for FREE! Prediction: This time next year you'll be past 1M subs!

this was a good episode!! i can't wait to see the updated one!

Love that we have real go pro competition, excited to see new innovation in this field

Gene do you have a motovlogging channel?? I'd love that!

GoPro: We could probably pack a 360 camera and a gopro into the MAX and give a super-simple camera that anyone can use... Insta360: Let's make an action camera that actually comes apart.. easily 🤣 PS - that "motion blur" in low light can be drastically improved by turning off stabilization in low light conditions... and now that I see that typed out... basically just dont move the camera at night 🤣

Armando Osuna Insta360 ONE R

I have had a One R since February 2020. Am satisfied with the camera itself but I have encountered 3 major issues which would now make me recommend GoPro hands down: - customer service is non-existent: I have been battling since March 2020 to get a refund over two parcels of accessories (altogether worth EUR 250) which never arrived. Though I have provided proof that no shipment was delivered to me, a first request was declined and my attempt to appeal was left unanswered. - Insta360 managed to price accessories higher than GoPro! I had to mention it because it is quite an achievement. Example: One R dive case is priced at EUR 79, while Gopro's costs EUR 49. That is 50% more, for a plastic case with rubber joints! - stitching mark is still rather apparent event in good light condition

Always come back to your videos first for reference when I am looking at a new product.

Us motovloggers would really appreciate an in-depth motovlog setup including camera settings and some post production tips ;)

Really Appreciate your videos man. Although the video is pretty long I patiently watched the full video and really I didn't skip at all. You have given every possible thing you can do with the camera. I don't want to buy it but still, I watched the video because I got a notification saying "Potato Jet uploaded a new Video".

Thanks for the awesome review and comparison to the Hero 8. I heard from a friend that insta360 had come out with an action cam and I had to check it out for myself. Your review was the first one I watched and you already have me sold over the 8. Thanks Potato Jet!

21:18 The 1" module focus seems to be fixed too far for vlogging. 120D light crisp in back but not logo on shirt. I was impressed by the GoPro footage more throughout the review, honestly.

True, but your editing time is 1/3 that means less time and equate to faster. so you want less instead of more. 1/3, 1/2 = 2/6, 3/6. You need to treat the whole which is the bottom number, the denominator, equally. Lets say you a normal person editing a video file in one hour. You editing half of that which is 30 minutes, and he did in 1/3 of one hour is 20 minutes. Ehh. I supposed you forgot all of these fraction in school already...LOL. Most don't use it in daily life and I forgot some of it too.

Superb video! Great detail! The exact review video I was looking for!

Excellent video in every way. Very helpful. Thanks.

1" module focuses too far, it's no use for vlogging as I imagined :/

Front screen don’t forget, removable lens/filter and the audio attachment is very slim vs the Hero brick. I am testing audio at the mo.

This is the best Insta360 review I ve seen so far on KZread, thank you! Have you tried doing night lapse? Starry sky? Thx

The official line I have from GoPro is that the non replaceable lens was to make things more compact and streamlined, but they increased the strength of the glass to compensate. You can use a lens protector on it.

"I don"t like forming opinions" says the review guy.

When you are so early that you don’t know what to say.

Just got this for my birthday. It's super lit! I also got the new iPad Air, so editing videos for my channel won't take so long. I can't believe I didn't know about this until now!

Thanks for saying the stuff you said about the non replaceable lens cover on the Hero8. It's one of my biggest gripes with it and it's fantastic that someone influencial like you speaks up about it

Thanks for the review! I’ve been holding off on buying the GoPro hero 8 for months with high hopes for the 1” censor on the insta360. The quality of the 1” censor is great, especially in low light, but the image stabilization just doesn’t cut it compared to the Hero 8 black. It’s a shame, because a 1” censor on an action camera is a game changer, but the image stabilization is what matters most. I’ll wait a few more weeks to see if the software updates improve. Otherwise it looks like GoPro is still king.
