Why I Boycotted Insta360 FOREVER (And You Should Too)

Комедия

Insta360 was caught in a recent scandal to hide youtuber sponsorships. They asked youtubers not to mention that the video was sponsored so they would sound more honest and genuine. How ironic... I don't work with unethical companies, and I'm tired of youtube shills who just advertise for companies without ever mentioning the flaws of said products. I've definitely forgot to mention in reviews that the product was sent to me by the company, but it's always a very balanced review looking for the negatives so I can save you from yourself lol.

    Your right feet loo like it flooting... It felt like green screen hehe. I got the Insta 360 X2 and X4 now, and I have 2 big issue, first, their application on phone and tablet, BLOCK you from selecting an external media storage. They do this intentionally, because I got their Quick Reader now, and when you connect it to your phone or tablet, the ONLY THING it does it allow you to select a External Media Storage. So now if I use a USB-C Hub, and connect my 2TB SSD Drive, I can load my video from there. It just evil to do things like that ! And my second issue, is the fact is they made a plugin for Adobe, but they didn't do it for Davinci Resolve ! Insta360 video decoder suck, because when I look at people who use Adobe premier plugin, their video quality look much better than my export from Insta360 app. Also, their email response is quick, but it just seem to be AI response to be friendly but we can read between the life the f-u . I like 360 video, and it why I tolerate it, but I despise Insta360 attitude and I hope someone else replace them !

    Ah so good! I agree with everything you said. They're telling their remaining content creators that they're changing their ways. I'm guessing that means they won't e-mail them asking not disclose the sponsorship. Not because that is illegal, but because that's a written proof of them being shady. So I'm guessing they're probably going to ask them verbally to hide the sponsorships so that they don't have written proof. I'm also very thankful for you and everyone who joined me in this. Also I like your message at the end. Because if we reveal the creators who hide the Insta360 sponsorships, I think this platform will flip again. One last thing, I'm sure you realized the tech outlets not touching this subject. Isn't that very revealing?

    The classic position on this is rather stark: *It is better to betray your advertisers rather than your readers.* The reason for this is that if you betray your readers (or viewers or listeners or audience more generally) they will soon realise, and stop trusting you - and probably eventually desert you. Once you have lost your readers etc then advertisers - even ones you have falsely praised, will no longer have any interest in you at all. This principle is explored in eminent newspaperman Walter Lippmann's influential 1922 work "Public Opinion", but it goes back even further. As soon as newspapers started taking much money in the way of advertising the idea of simply bribing editors and journalists instead for favourable coverage occured to advertisers. But editors and their publishers soon realised that in that direction lay *DOOM* whatever the temptation when times were tough. For one thing, not just readers but other advertisers would soon notice, and get angry. And worse, try to get free coverage themselves, or try to beat your advertising rates right down. Or simply go elsewhere to a better-trusted, less desperate publication.

    I really wish that were true, but it seems like 1) things seem worse now than before (at least in my lifetime...I'm not sure about 1922), and 2) this supposes an intelligent readership who actually cares about the truth, and the majority of people are simply not that way. They lack both intelligence and integrity themselves, and often prefer lies that back up what they want to think rather than a truth that goes against it. In such a situation, lying to your audience can render much greater rewards than being honest much of the time, not that I condone it. I'm against it, in fact, but that doesn't appear to be common in the human experience.

    @@Rationalific Reviews are different to politics. What you say may apply to political opinions among some readerships, but not reviews. People tend to feel foolish if they buy a bad product based on fake reviews. There's also a legal aspect for the publication if financial inducements can be shown to have influenced the contents of what purports to be a fair review. It depends on jurisdiction, but disgruntled suppliers who have lost out in a comparitive review are more likely to win, and win more damages.

    I think a lot of the problems are down to KZreadrs having started to review products without prior experience. I've been reviewing cameras and camera related stuff for going on 20 years now, beginning with printed publications. Manufacturers always understood that their products were open to criticism. They didn't mind as long as the criticisms were made constructively, and not just saying something like "this product is shit". I keep to that philosophy now. I think a lot of the problems now are because KZreadrs *think* that they aren't allowed to criticise the product and have to over enthuse about it rather than anything the company has said to them. With the Insta360 thing, it must be because of who I deal with, but I've never been asked to do anything unethical by them. My understanding was that the issue was down to inexperienced staff making a complete balls up. Companies always have to send a product to be reviewed, otherwise the product can't be reviewed. For the majority of companies I just get sent the gear for a couple of weeks then it has to go back, and no company ever gets a say in what I write or say. If they ever do try (and some have in the past), I just tell them straight that it's not gonna happen. If all KZreadrs started being more critical of products (where it's warranted), and making it clear to companies that they have no editorial control, then manufacturers wouldn't be able to withhold products. Not that I think they would anyway. I laid in pretty hard when I looked at the DJI Action 2, and they just took the criticisms on board and just released a much improved camera a year later, which I still got to review. It's great when someone owns the gear and reviews it, but for publications, that just isn't a practical way to do things.

That's how I know Corey has said there is not one flaw with the DOJ Activision 4(5). It fits every scenario I plan to use it for perfectly. My only question is where is the release mechanism for the lens? I just bought a $10k Z mount lens from a guy off Craigslist to use with it and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. Also I think the dude who sold me the lens wasn't aware of what he had. Because the lens was mislabeled as a 50mm f1.8 F-mount. I didn't say anything to him because I've watched alot of antique roadshow on TV and I know that mislabeled stuff can be worth alot of money.

    12:58 You are our hero! I do have to say that I like my X3 and have been thinking of upgrading to an X4. I know the quality isn't the best, but for an amateur like me it has been great to not worry about framing as much while filming and have more edit control post. Cheers!

    It's mainly the price and the desktop software sucks. They only just ported over the ability to add audio tracks from the smartphone app. If they dropped the price and focused more on improving the editor they'd probably sell more. It's basically an overpriced toy right now.

    I love my X3 for the versatility - not the quality. The worst thing for me about X3, is it takes 3x longer to edit it, only to wind up on the cutting room floor. So much more wasted time

    Out of the 30+ videos I saw on KZread on the X4, only 2 said they paid for the camera on their own. Insta360 flooded KZread with reviews!!! Keep up the honest reviews, it's the reason I follow your channel.

    I found your videos while researching the DJI Osmo Action 3, I have now purchased 2 of them not just off your reviews but from that of others. As a KZreadr I do have sponsorships but I research the companies and I will always give honest reviews. I was sent a couple of products and have paid for products that I have given bad reviews for even when I was asked not to do a review at all. I would rather be honest. When it comes to sponsorship I only want to work with companies I really do trust.

Companies don't like his truth, but it's channels like this that needed to be supported for them to keep growing, in the end We as the viewers and maybe even future YT Creators, all hope that channels like this stay REAL never sell out for the money!

    Nowadays the tech toys have saturated so the marketing is trying their 'best' to sell the products. To be fair 360 camera is useful but limited to very specific applications. Heavy post processing is involved. Definitely not for everyone. I am glad you keep you integrity. Keep going man.

    Thank you for your honesty and integrity ! As we are told by the Lord, is it worth it to gain the whole world yet lose your soul. Unfortunately, I think that this kind of behavior is rampant on KZread especially among computer tech reviewers as well. I am not sure how some reviewers think that by saying that the Company whose product they are reviewing did not tell them what to say... makes the review any more ethical in anyway. In the back of your mind, you know that you're going to have to limit the amount of negative comments about the product or else you're no longer going to receive products from said company. As you stated, to remove any possible bias or being unethical, you need to purchase the product yourself.

    I bought an insta360 AcePro in January this year, prior to my ski vacation. It feels rugged, looks good, pretty intuitive to use etc etc. But once on the ski slopes, it would not work. The start button took over a hundred presses to start filming. But then I had to remove the battery in order to stop it... Once back home in 'normal' temperatures, it worked fine. I took it back to the dealer, but they could not find any issues with it. So I am left with a piece of kit that I KNOW is dodgy. I did put comments about my experience on those other YT channel vids promoting it (which was quite a few, because I was and still am pissed about it) but strangely not one of them responded and these were big name YTers. Actually, that's not entirely true, the bloke with excessive curly hair said I must have just got a faulty one, so shaddap, it happens... So I close with similar sentiment to all my previous comments on the other channels about this product: DO NOT BUY insta360 PRODUCTS! The above is genuine purchaser experience.

    Hey Casey, the Nikon "Sport" IBIS is very good when trying to track a moving subject and the "Normal" IBIS is great if you're trying to stay stationary. I can see it's not very effective as vlogger IBIS tho which is good to know but it also seems like Nikon isn't optimizing for that use case.

    I never get free gear on my You Tube channel. Comica was going to send me something until I said I was going to take it apart. It's all about advertising. I don't own any insta 360 anything. You should talk about You Tubers that sell out and name names. I have a day job. Could never make enough money to pay my bills or equipment with the You Tube money. I understand why guys do it. Especially when I get home from work sore/ blisters. I make videos to pay it forward because You Tube is a place to learn about products and techniques. These manufacturers go after desperate You Tubers because they know they really could use the money and they can corrupt them and manipulate them very easily. If you Tube paid it's monetized creators properly there would be less of this happening. They contributed to the problem. I'm also no longer an Amazon affiliate. They treated me horribly as well. I have my day job. I do videos in my spare time. Editing and production is difficult because that takes time. I'm glad you did the video but go down the list and talk about the sell outs. You got up on the podium so don't half ass it. I know my channel is safe. Be more than just clearing your own name. My conscience is clear is yours .

    the problem with most companies and corporations today is the fact that they very blatantly don't produce anything with a semblance of pride anymore. most products out here have been thoroughly dissected and reassembled with the most corners cut and the most cost savings in mind. they do not care if their brand is tarnished over selling cheap junk. they do not care about customer experience. they just want the most profits possible, done with the least amount of work and resources.
