    This is my usual absolutely packed, super in-depth review where I obsess about the image and how to get the best possible results no matter how long it takes me to figure out! I cover the whole in-camera sharpening issue that plagues most smaller sensor cameras and shows how this is better but only if you shoot in the correct mode and don't screw up how you manipulate the footage. Luckily I give you lots of tips.
    I also take about the sound problem, when/ if it gets fixed I will let you know here.

    Fantastically detailed and fun review as always Philip (the coffee spilling clip never gets old😂).
    I snapped up the Insta360 ONE X2 last year after watching your previous review and even though I've used it sparingly, on the occasion I've needed it, I've been able to get incredible shots that often define the entire video. I've used it inside a Cessna, parasailing and inside a cramped sleeper train cabin and the compositions I've got out of it really helped to tell the story.
    For me personally, the step up in image quality is reason enough to get one, though shame they overlooked the damn microphone once again!

    Thank you for bringing Severus home with you. I'm a bugger for rescuing strays and the last one I adopted was F3 feral. For some reason she chose to trust me. It took me over 3 months (hard... HARD Brit winter) to get her to take shelter on the well deck of my boat. Less than a week afterwards, she decided to come inside and hog the Morso hearth. She was an old cat, ran like hell whenever anyone tried to get near her. Had her back leg mangled in a mink trap. In the five years she stayed with me: she was never willingly more than 3 feet away from me. She died peacefully last year and chose to do so on my lap with me stroking her head and crying quietly so as not to embarrass myself. Total respect to you Mr. Bloom. You judge the character of a man (or woman) by how they treat animals.

    Amazing review! It's always a pleasure to see a new video of yours popping up in my sub feed, Mr. Bloom~ .. But this camera is 940€ ?! Jesus, it's double the price of the X2. For standard consumers / hobby-filmers and for using it as a secondary camera for weird and interesting shots, the X2 sounds like a WAY better deal for what it offers. Of course, this version does have some benefits to it - while still not being quite as capable as it should be for semi-pro usage - but man, that's some premium markup that I don't really feel is justified.

    Such an excellent review as usual THX. I just bought it and the thing that nobody seems to mention is you MUST remove the "cap" from the SIM card chamber of the Control Module in order to attach the 1-inch 360 lens onto it, and you have to find a safe place to store the cap otherwise you'd have no cap when you wanna attach it back to the other lenses. Furthermore, as I had the most frustrating experience with my OneR last year, getting that awfully thin and rubbery stalk back inside the tiny hole is no small feat cos after doing it a few times, the cap woldn't close properly... and as usual I brought it down to film in the shallow waters just off a beach, with calm waters that day, attached to the short floating GoPro Floating Stick dangling on my wrist slowly wading, then after a few clips took, seawater got in and shut off and wouldn't boot up again... completely ruin my OneR module AND its 360 lens, and so happened it was right AFTER the one year warranty! What's more Insta360 is a real bitch when it comes to reporting the incident, they kept asking for ridiculous details like the condition of the of the seawater current, the speed at which I was moving my arms in the water etc.. f*** them 🤬, cos I only wanted to BUY a new module and a 360 lens, I wasn't even asking for a refund, discount or anything! Hence I waited a year before purchasing the OneRS when it came out in Feb and now this 1" 360 lens, all for the extra clarity which I've always been dissatisfied with 360 cameras ever since my Ricoh M15, then S, then V (have I got the order right 🤔), then Insta360 OneX, OneR. Hope I didn't bore you with this long comment. (fyi, I'm just a casual occasional user of 360 cameras, GoPros and other spalsh proof cameras or iPhones in waterproof cases... all for whenever I go for water sports, boating or travels abroad to beach areas like Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and when I get back home here in Hong Kong, I'd edit the clips on my iMac's Final Cut Pro for myself and my friends to reminisce, nothing too serious) 😅

    Thanks for your expertise. I use the Insta360 One X2 while cycling on my recumbent trike. It has been great and a game changer to show me riding in the environment. I use the 3ft and 10ft sticks. The new 1” sensor camera is much heavier and holding it on a stick will be tiring. Even though the image quality isn’t great but what it offers is so much fun. I do wish no filters were available. I also use the DJI microphone as a recorder yelling out the time of the shot to help sync later with the video. I’ll pass on this camera and wait for Insta360 One X3.

      Yeah it shouldn’t have been and it wasn’t. I think because it was initially 30p and I interpreted it as 25p but then sped it up in the edit to 110% the GoPro plug in did weird things to the motion. I forgot to fix it, had the same issue with the boat under the bridge shot initially.

    Mine came in today, my first foray into 360, and this has to be the clunkiest piece of kit I've purchased in a long time. It's better than nothing, since I have a couple of projects coming up which require some 360 stills, but all these loose bits and bobs (mic adapter, mic bracket, USB-C cover door), the buried SD slot, the lack of a Davinci Resolve plug-in, 16-bit freakin' audio!, a clunky touch interface, a clunky app, it's awful. Obviously Philip, you've been wrestling with this product a long time, and have it down pat, but for a first timer, this workflow seems needlessly opaque and difficult. And by the way, I went to the Insta360 website to download a manual, and they don't have one ready for the 1-inch yet. There's a link, but you get the manual for the standard RS. Oh, and the mic bracket--you have to use the selfie stick to hold it in place? It feels like I've gone back 30 years in product design. Oh well. Is what it is.

    @blaspayri 2 года назад +1

    thank you so much for your very valuable, informative, entertaining and needed input. It is such a pity that the image quality still looks like an over-compressed low bitrate from a small sensor. What surprises me is that the Insta360 Pro 2 8K with its 6 cameras is much better, but not spectacular in quality ... so 360 image recording seems contrary to high quality artistically pleasing footage ? Because one would wander if the Insta360 would use 4 or 6 sensors, even relatively small ones like the "one inch" sensors, and higher bitrates, if the image would be finally pleasing and high quality. I have a "one inch" sensor Sony ax53 handicap, and when properly lit, the image can be really of good quality, so, "one inch" can be sufficient.

    1. Thank you for the (by far best) review on this camera available anywhere❤️❤️❤️ 2. That said and deservingly thanked, I positively CANNOT comprehend is the absolutely shocking poor dynamic range of this camera and the way it devours and demolishes all highlights into oblivion! It is far worse than many other 360 cameras with far "inferior" smaller sensors. I assume this camera has a manual exposure override or compensation function? Optimistically, -1EV exposure and then pulling the shadows a bit in post should be able to keep the highlights more in-check. But overall (added improvement in sharpness and lower noise that are certainly welcome additions), I find the footage coming out of this camera on ANYTHING that involves sunny sky with white clouds or just about any object that is bright enough, literally unwatchable. I have been looking at footage of the recently released X3 and with the dynamic HDR function activated (despite being a bit overdone and it's tendency to turn some images into overly flat stuff), it just BLOWS OUT OF THE WATER the RS 1-inch as far as pleasing looking footage is concerned. The RS 1-inch does not have an HDR video function and dearly needs it.. that or a firmware that somehow addressed the out-of-control highlights clipping that is disturbing for camera of this price and specs.

      @philipbloom  2 года назад +1

      Yes, I shoot everything at 25p. It’s the standard in Europe. I want this footage to cut in my normal camera footage. 30p is a North American frame rate.

    Always been a fan. Thank you for your exceptional and hard work. I purchased this camera and love it so far. BUT, I must say, I never usually buy anything that the host recommends, like filters and LUTs. However, I did try out Topaz. Loved it and then I bought the Video AI as well. AMAZING tools for photography and video. I use them in my workflow daily now. Thank you!

    Thanks for the comprehensive review. As always, entertaining and informative.
    As an on set VFX data wrangler, I currently use the Theta Z1 for HDRI captures with the Authydra plug in. I am looking considering the Insta360 1-inch because of the larger sensor.
    Larger sensor, better detailed HDRIs. Do you know if any 3rd party plugins are available or can even work with the Insta360 1-inch?

    • @philipbloom
      @philipbloom  2 года назад +3

      Cheers Josh. The Z1 also used dual sensors like this one. Whilst the video is 10x better, if you are just taking photos I don’t think you will get better results.
      The photos from the Z1 are very good. I saw little difference when shooting raw photos on both. Although I haven’t tried the HDR mode on the insta360 I think it can still shoot raw. You just need to combine them yourself in Lightroom or similar as the insta360 app only outputs a nasty oversharpened jpeg.

    I had to stop halfway becuase I was not prepared for this much value on a review video. Instasubbed*. I have a Sony zve10 and want to pick up an action camera for on the go footage and not have to worry too much about capturing the right frames in the moment. Will be jumping on bikes and mopeds.. Would you recommend the new insta360 x3 or the new gopro hero11 as an addition to my current tech.

    Thanks for this review. I ordered this camera a few days ago. I skipped the last 2 insta 360 cameras due to the same sensor and for me I think the price will be worth it. What are your thoughts on the lens flare?

    Hmmmm; I bought the X3 last year and I've been blown away by how good and versatile it is for travel. But it's pretty unusable in low light, I put it away at dusk. I also wish I could use the images when fully cropped, but they're not really good enough.
    Now I'm off to Japan for 3 months and I'm wondering how much better the 1 inch is in both aspects. I appreciate it's never going to match a mirrorless but I can't quite get my head around how much delta there is between the X3 and the 1 inch.
    Any input is appreciated.

    Hi Phil! I must have watched this video 3 now! It was the video that finally help push me to get the camera. Working around its limitations, the camera is worth every penny! Great footage from my Japan trip this month! Viewing them makes the trip memorable! Now I got the idea of Topaz upscaler from this video also! Finally Black Friday sale convinced me to get a Topaz Video/Photo bundle. Great recommendation. After upscaling the exported 360 footage to 8K 60-fps on Topaz. I notice the file does not play in 360 mode anymore on VLC 3.1! Was there some EXIF metadata that need to be manipulated on the Topaz generated file?? I know this comment comes in 1 year later. Hope you can help! cheers!
