Learn how to use a 360 camera to tell a story! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eYiO0bKEkrncn5c.html

I’ve never seen your channel, but I appreciate the casual yet intelligent and well put together details. Well spoken and straight to the point…. Thank you!

You are the channel I go to when a new camera is out. Always real and honest. You always explain and show. Other big channel always show a bunch of footage and that's it.

Never owned an insta360 cam before and I'm still rocking my GoPro Max. Glad to see they upgraded the sensors and added higher frame rates

Thank you for the review and comparation. I just got Insta360 one X2 a couple month ago. I think for people who already have it, you don't need to upgrade it yet since X3 is mostly upgrading on practicality like buttons and screen. The resolution is still the same. Slighly better - yes, but not much a difference. I'm happy with my X2!

Thank you Jeven. Very clear and very helpful and the side by side comparisons are excellent 🙂

Good Morning, Jeven. Thank you for this hands-on comparison of the Insta360 X3 to its predecessor X2. You shot some fantastic footage in this comparison. The float plane shot is wicked. I do like the larger touchscreen and features. I may have to look into this once I've had the chance to review more tests and reviews. Take care, and stay cool during these hot and humid days.

Really useful review. Do you know how well it functions near water? Will the touch screen still work with splashes? My kayak videos are often ruined by water drops on the lens, does this sort of camera suffer similarly? Many thanks!

A comparison with the ONE RS 1-Inch would have been cool

thank you for such a detailed comparison!

One question: I keep wondering quite how it manages this amazing 360 image given it only has two lenses. Yes I understand fisheye lens, but you'd expect extreme distortion at the edges, but this never seems apparent. This comes out where you (very nicely) explain the 'Me mode' (04:53) where the camera is very nearly pointing directly away from you, i.e. lenses looking up and down, not are you, yet it still seems to catch you perfectly. Is this correct? Just so damn clever, but interesting to understand 🙂 Thanks for the excellent video

How do you keep the same resolution when uploading to fb, insta or youtube? I always feel the the resolution goes to crap.

HI there, thank you for this video. I wanted to ask if you can shoot flat footage 'like s log 3' on this camera ?

Excellent as always Jeven. Always appreciate your straight and honest reviews.....is it just me, these 360 cameras always have warped fish eye images and I can't stand that!! Is it possible to get 360 video out of these without those warped sides?

Super informative bro! This is really helpful❤ thanks for the effort you put on this video 💪

I bought the X2 less than a year ago and in retrospect I am still very happy with that decision. The larger screen, in my opinion, is more of a concern as there is more surface area for the screen to crack. It's an action camera after all so I actually like the smaller screen on the X2. In the end it seems the upgrades are purely for convenience, making it easier to access certain functionality. Aside from all this, thanks for this and all your great reviews Jeven!

Agree it has a bigger screen to crack but they did build it to be rugged so it should be able to take a few hits and be fine. The big thing I noticed is the footage looks cleaner and colors more accurate when doing the side by side. However, I've shot a ton with the X2 and its still a solid camera so either way I think they work great for getting those 360 style shots.

Was lucky i got a sale on the X2 a month ago from best buy..this a fun 360 camera..but image quality still suffers vs regular action cams..looking into the new Osmo action 3 vs Go pro hero 11

Is there a good way to mount this to the dash of a Jeep Gladiator? I’m going to be getting the ram mounts for the center of the dash.

I've had the one X since it came out and love it. Still haven't damaged the lens! So, I often walk with it in forests. Once I frame the 360 to 1080p, the details that I see on trees isn't as good as I'd like (I've been a forester for 50 years) - pretty good but not good enough. I had been thinking of springing for a dedicated 4K camera then I heard about the X3 which can use a single lens at 4K. What I'd like to know is- will the detail with the single lens at 4K be much better than framing a 5.7K 360 to 1080p? And, with single lens- how will it work with the selfie stick because the camera will need to be vertical. I've seen people put smart phones on selfie sticks and they can adjust the camera so it will be vertical. I suppose I could hold it straight up or down or sideways but that's inconvenient. Or, use it on a chest or head mount.

Hi~ would you tell me One RS 1” and X3 which one you like it better?

Great review! I have two x2's for reliability reasons. Also since I scratched the lens on one(!). My main problem...is the bandwidth/speed for video download between camera and iPad/iPhone. Nice to have a big screen - but not important.

The x2 can also use just one lense at a time I think its called 120° view. For blogs like filming, you missed that somehow also I think the mic on the 2x sounds better. Nice to have a bigger screen but at the same time it becomes more fragile. Not shore if the upgrade its worth it for most 2x owners.

Just ordered the X3 and its my first 360 cam. So pumped!

Does seem like worth upgrading if you have the one x2. When you said the battery is different that was my out since I have 3 batteries for the x2

There are some functionalities that matter and simplify the usage (like those presets) but in terms of video quality, we still need to wait for longer... 600 bucks are not justified for that upgrade, IMHO. there will be still a lot of situations/conditions where it won't perform better. I think NOW there is a good chance to get a new X2 with a very interesting discount.

How about Insta 360 X3 Vs PanoX V2, which many said beaten the X3 pretty good in any features.?

that side by side at 3:30 really show the difference between the video quality

Can you stress test the X3 and see how long a recording can go before it overheats?

can we connect the JABRA EARBUDS Bluetooth or any earbuds to Insta 360 X3?

Audio of the X3 is a little more rich but One X2 is louder I guess. I wonder how this is with wind etc.

What about the stitch line? The X3 is wider so isn’t the stitch line more visible?

Thanks for the review I'll pass on this one and upgrade to the x4 possibly. I know for sure when the sun is out between 4pm to 7pm man the one x2 has a very clear video amazing looking footage as long as you have light your good to go.

X3 audio sounded a little muffled compared to the X2... hmmm. Great vid though, thanks for the run through!

@Kroess

Жыл бұрын

That depends very much on the framing you choose. In my opinion, a decent action cam (even something older like a DJI Osmo Action) almost always has a better image quality for "classic" action field of view. The improved single lens mode gives you better stabilisation than a GoPro, but all in all less clarity and detail. If you want to publish "real" 4K quality, a consumer-level 360 camera like the X3 might disappoint you.

I think it's better to focus on camera quality than upgrade to this huge screen, because with the 360 ​​camera, you don't have to worry too much about the viewing angle.

I wish I can buy it for my vlogging.

I'm planning to buy one but hope someone can clarify a major concern I have. Have any of you x2/x3 owners faced any difficulty at the airport?

Does anyone know if these use the same battery?

I noticed towards the end of the video, you only included the audio from the X3, not the X2. does this mean X2 doesn't have audio? not that it matters, because i plan on using this on a motorcycle and i'm sure the wind noise is nuts

So is the final edited video 5.7k but the original 360 raw footage higher megapixel? It has dual 48mp sensors. So does is record raw 96mp of info then edit it back to 5.7k? Or does it dump resolution straight away when you record?

@mervfer1162

Жыл бұрын

It does 8k time lapse (not sure if 360 or single sensor). My guess is that still too much processing power needed to go over 5.7k continuous video. So it might over sample or pixel bin to get to 5.7k. Would be good to know.

@Kroess

Жыл бұрын

It has to record video in a significantly lower resolution. There is (at least currently) no way to process and store two 48MP video streams (more than 8K) in such a small device with its small battery. The ONE X2 uses two square video files 2880x2880 (8.3MP), the ONE RS 1-Inch 2x 3072x3072 (9.4MP). Furthermore, not the whole square area is filled with the image, only a circle inside.

I love new screen size on the X3. Great review Jeven, and thanks for sharing.
