I have few 360 cameras each good in a specific field, INSTA360 PRO for Professional , Theta V for tight areas, Gopro Fusion for drone and bumpy areas, Garmin for backup professional , Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K for 3D 180 , Insta360 One for bullet and easy over-capture on your mobile and still use the 12 GOPRO rig from 360rize for 12k 360 videos. One camera missing is a proper 360 drone camera at least 5.7k and up small easy for traveling.
Thanks for the shout out Ben! I think the issue with Yi is that if you dont have a Windows PC you are left only with mobile and as you said, with mobile it is mediocre. I'll do another updated review to show more about it because i think the video detail is really excellent. Best regards, Mic
360Rumors.com i would agree here with Mic. For photo this camera is not that good. But for video it's a bargain at that 399 price. The worlkflow using pc is easy.
Great- looking forward to it! Yeah I think for Mac and iPhone users it’s unusable, and that’s 50+% of 360 camera owners there. But for PC users it could definitely be a viable option 👍
Not only does the Yi360VR shoot high bitrate 5.7k 360 video, but its Windows app "Yi 360 Studio" uses optical flow to make nearly-perfect seams. I've worked with a lot of 360 footage, and the Yi360 is shockingly good for the price. Do fire up a virtual or real machine and give it another go. I've managed to get Yi 360 Studio to successfully stitch footage on MacOS using Wine, but it's difficult to use as parts of the software interface aren't rendering properly and so it must be operated blind. The Yi also seems to have good heat management. I've done very long captures while recording to a 128Gb SD card with the camera connected to an external USB battery.
I really thought the Insta 360 one would make good videos but it can not replace a gimbal with a decent action cam. The image quality looks like potato mode. I watched a dozen of reviews by now and no one of you guys do actually action driven outdoor stuff. What a shame because then you would INSTANT see how bad this camera actually is. My GoPro 3 Black with a 3 axis Gimbal make much better shots than this.
I have a channel with 90k+ subs, bought the Insta360 ONE based on your reviews, live Streaming doesn't work with accounts that have multiple RUclips Channels on one account, make sure to mention that next time. I just spent money on "360 Live stream" camera that doesn't work for creators like me :( :(. should have gone for the go pro fussion, better video, and can't stream either.
How am I supposed to know that? So few people need to stream from multiple accounts, that even if I knew, I’m not going into that level of detail in a video like this that covers so many cameras. Ask in the Insta360 Facebook group, I’m sure there a way around it.
I have the Insta360 One and got the firmware 1 week after I bought it. I love that camera. Just as you said the app makes it so easy to use. Keep up the good Ben. Cheers.
I feel totally vindicated in my Christmas purchase of an Insta360 One. Literally the only thing I don't like about it is that the quality when re-framed could be better, but for the price I'm more than happy to wait for an 8K camera to become affordable. The stabilisation is AMAZING and with the most recent update is easily as good as the Rylo but at half the price. Best entry-level 360 camera IMHO.
I bought my Insta360 when it was first released. I have had so much fun with this camera. It has got my creative juices flowing again. Keep up the good work!
Have to say, I have now bought the Samsung 360 old version thanks to this channel (and had one outing already even though the weather is not great). And a couple of thoughts for those interested (I'm going to discuss photography side): 1. It is a great camera for stills (in fact better than samsung's newer one) with 30MP files and for this price it really is a steal - you can amuse facebook friends with your clever 360 photos, you can upload directly to Google Street View (camera has all the settings needed, you just need ANY android phone). 2. You don't need to use a smartphone to get 360 photos - the device is configurable enough and you can set a delayed timer if you need to get out of the view. And you can upload the photos directly to your pc or mac (samsung's software is shocking though - some sort of repackaged CyberLink app).Once you get the stitched file you are free to use any software - photoshop will let you open and edit the 360 environment on the fly removing all the stitching artifacts). 3. Drum-roll.... you can get an unlocked 360 gear app from XDA developers which means you don't need a Samsung phone to enjoy the benefits of changing camera settings on the fly and reviewing footage immediately. I would definitely put this into a "BUY" category for photos (might be an idea for this channel to review the other side of 360 equipment). 4. You will want GOOD light for this to give you shots that you can be proud of. And by that I mean sunshine or dappled shade. Forget indoors and low light (dusk/dawn) shots. All the best! Al
Couldn't agree more with the Insta 360 One, I'm glad it was my first 360 camera, killer feature for me was live streaming events and gigs, the new update is great but still has a few bugs, looking forward to receiving the Fusion tomorrow as I've been waiting months for this! Clients are loving the addition of 360 to my photography and hopefully the fusion lives up to it.
one thing to remember about every 360 camera is lense distance. so many "experts" on 360 cameras overlook this. The closer the lenses are to each other the better the stitching will be. This will make a near invisible seam when looking back at the video (pictures not so much because of photo spoofing during the auto stitching process of any camera). This is why I absolutely hate the virb because it is so thicc and why I love the gear 2017 over the 2016. I'm personally rocking the fusion because it simply has the best color sensor and best stitching while staying in a conosumerish range. I'm looking at getting the theta V mainly for livestreaming and battery life (another thing "experts" over look). All that said, I do like your quick opinion review of the camera lists.
I'm liking my GoPro Fusion :) I discovered what the Fusion software really wants. It wants a very strong GPU to process the video on a computer. The Fusion software makes better use of the GPU than lots of other video editing software.
I love my fusion, but I can tell you, the fusion software does like GPU power but it loves fast storage as well, if you are stitching in 5.3k. If in just 4k, then fast storage doesn't matter too much.
Do you mean for reframing? Insta360 Studio is my software of choice for that. I don’t use free video editing software so I can recommend anything unfortunately
I need a 360 📷 for shooting virtual tours of hotel rooms. Could you please suggest me the one that can provide the best quality. Also many time the lighting condition inside room can only be dependent on artificial light. Please help
Awesome video!!! I bought the Rylo 360 yesterday but I'm returning it. Although the stabilization is amazing, there are 3 things that killed it for me. 1. You can't charge while filming. 2. It only works with a couple SD Cards (very particular), 3. The app is amazing, but my phone can't store an hours worth of video, and there's no way to make the app used the external memory card. Also, 4. The app (android) crashes, 5. the water proof case is expensive, 6. I can't find after-market batteries.
can you help me how to edit the video in 360, because i just want the video with ration in 16:9 but the gopro fusion default video is 360, i tried to turn stabilization on but the camera isn't focus on me, the stabilization makes the frame stand still so when I move the camera won't focus on my face and it creates a stickline, sorry my english is a bit bad because i am vietnamese but i hope for your support, thanks
I totally agree - most of my youtube videos are made with the Instra360 one. The software is so easy to use and so quick!!! Even on the iPhone it is extremely fast. I use it in my darkroom too and you can see that it is getting grainy, but you can still see in very low light. For that price a winner for sure!
Companies have to understand, that it is about the ease of use - nobody wants to lose time during post processing these days. The earlier I finish my video, the earlier I can Netflix and .... ;)
The purchase link states: "For iphone and ipad..." Does the i360 work with Android too? Thanks, and great review (and yes, your low-light/mixed-light kicker at the end really introduced confusion for an indoor architectural shooter like myself, but still love the review (and everything is better than my original Kodak 360)). Cheers!
I have failed to get the insta360 One to work with any of Samsung S6, Moto G4, or LG G5. It seems it will only work with a VERY limited subset of Android phones, and insta don't seem interested in changing that. OTOH the insta360 Air works on all three of my Android phones.
I have my 360 2017 from samsung for like almost 3 years and i didnt get any bad thing i think its better of most of your 360 cameras even in the quality
Thank you so much your very understandable comparison video. Your information helps me alot. Now I'm looking foward to 2019 model. I'll keep track of your new videos to check it !
Thanks Ben, Always enjoy your reviews. Do you find the Insta360 one or the Rylo better in overall picture quality and especially in low lightings? Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Thanks- that’s a tough one because they’re both cameras that excel at video but not photo. I guess I’d say the Insta360 just for the increased resolution 👍
Great review. I was originally thinking I wanted to buy the Fusion, but after watching your video decided to go with the Insta360 One. I did want the quality of the Fusion, but think the cost and easy of use with the software make the Insta360 an easy choice. Hopefully, they continue to innovate to improve video and photo quality.
excellent video!! i'm still using the original Samsung Gear 360 (2016). I completely agree that having one beats not having one. It's much easier to take 360 photos with a real 360 camera than using my smartphone to stitch a 360 photo.
Normaly i dont comment videos. But you put a lot of effort in this video. Even the video goes 20 min, i loved every second. It was nice and compact, i got all my infos... thank you a lot, helped me really to choose the right one :)
Thanks- like I’ve mentioned in my past videos you need a fast computer setup to work with it. And if you do, it destroys all of these cameras! So it’s more for prosumers than consumers who only want to use a phone.
LIFE in 360 i understand, but that in it self disqualifies it from being on the Buy list. I mean the Rylo to me beats it hands down in terms of ease of use and accessibility and it didn't make it to the list. It's like trying to use an F1 car as a daily driver, it might be fastest but it doesn't make it a good idea.
When your shoot 360 you want the best result possible.. and the Fusion gets the best result possible. Speed of workflow isn’t important to everyone, especially those who want the best looking footage possible.
I had the same problem with my Samsung 360 same as your model. I found that if you leave it for over 2-3 weeks the battery completely discharges. It needs a very small trickle charge to get it working again. Like a car ciggerate lighter supply charge leave it in there for 10-15 min then it will have enough charge to work. Then you can plug it into a faster charger. Problem will happen again though if you leave it discharge completely again.
I own the Fusion, in terms of picture quality only does the insta 360 one matches the fusion? I'm thinking of buying one especially because you can edit straight from your phone which you can't with the fusion. I'd love to edit those pics on the go. So should i buy one as a back up camera or am i just wasting money?
I have a Gear360 and it experienced the same power on issues. I noticed it on February 20, 2019 after it sat on my shelf for 3 months. Just keep plugging it with different USB C cables and use the USB / USB c adapter. I plugged it with an Apple cube wall power adapter yesterday (March 5, 2019) and it finally registered the power on. I suspect there is some oxidation on the power terminals so plugging in and out may have brushed off the oxide off the terminals. It will eventually power on. Good Luck.
Can you tell me which is the best for prolonged recording...more than 1 hour continuously? My Samsung would heat up and stop after 20 minutes. I wanted reunion footage around a table.
What would you recommend for fast motorcycle ? The insta 360 is 30fps. I am looking for 360 camera so I can use the 360 footage as if I have multiple cameras. Flick to different angels and forward and backwards eg....Prob needs to be 60fps and at least 4K. Sound is another problem in camera.
Excellent, Thank you I am so glad i bought the Insta especially now with the firmware update, I also own the Theta S , I bought this as it had good reviews and a superb form factor and have no regrets and again with new firmware its great.
Best under low light ? I'm looking for the best quality video under low-light conditions, which of these do you recommend ? I heard from various reviews that the insta 360, although a great camera, it's not so great in low light, as it supposedly has a lot of noise. What's the best under low light ?
A 360 camera optimized for videos that would record plugged in power for long duration (about 2 hours). Mac and PC friendly. Which one fits in this context?
Looks like my Rylo is going back to Amazon. While I appreciate the speeds that it’s cable allows, it is just begging to get lost. Add the lack of a photo timer and other basic features that the Insta360 One now offers at $299, it makes this decision incredibly easy.
Which 360 cam has the best quality ( compare to the price ) and has more accessories. I want something like go pro which has everthing you can imagine. Something I can attach it to my car's top and capture. I checked there in nothing for Insta 360 one except a waterproof case. Can you please advise.
Thanks for another great video.. So... would a 2015 iMac retina work well with Fusion? I guess no? So I spent the budget on a new 360 camera..? Mavic air.....
Did not have time to write a mail to you until now. If you like i just send you a hallo to exchange adresses. But good news Professor Barbu an international expert with a lots of contacts will go with us from July until october when university starts again. He will guide us also to the secret places normal tourists have no access. Special places to make Fotos and videos with eagles, delphins, bears and other animals we can see so with some luck. Some info in German is here. www.oejv-hessen.de/PDF/Prospekt_Donaudelta_2017_Mai_Vorankundigung.pdf Hopefully we will have a Leica Spective on board
Thank you for the comparison now you make me want to get another one. I have just bought the Theta V and have been testing it for the Google Streetview program. It is a way to shoot video of an area upload it to Google Maps by way of the Streetview app and contribute your own personal additions to Streetview. It is a niche application but some of your viewers may be into that kind of thing. I have posted a how-to video on the way that it is done if there is any interest. I was forced into the Theta V since I wanted the Streetview capability and it is the only one currently available to do it with. Google wants everything mapped in Streetview so there will be a lot of activity on this in the future as far as I can see.
A couple of features unique to the Theta V that were not covered are the ambisonic capability and the ability to send images to a television using the camera as a remote. Would this have improved it's rating? PS I'm still using a Theta S, and this video was great to help me choose my next 4k camera.
Some of your meh's have my cardinal points. I look for the same features as for my action cam: 1. Good enough resolution photo and video (not sure yet for 360 ) 2. Good output wo. any post prod 3. iPhone only workflow 4. Waterproof without housing 5. Ok video stabilisation (And wish for acceptable low light performance) Want to travel light and quick, so no post, no housing, no PC.
Hmm, I miss a 360 underwater shootout (no housing). I was about to buy the Fusion when I saw the outrageously horrible underwater footage, now looking for mi sphere underwater footage...
My favourite is the insta360 one and I am buying it this week but I found it cheaper at apple for almost the same price but with the tripod, selfie stick, bullet time handle and a protective case for 329 US dollars and 429 Canadian dollars
I want to mount a 360 camera to the bow of a canoe and possibly to my white water kayak. With that in mind what would be the better? I have an old MacBook it doesn't handle 4K well so the GoPro may have issue, but I usually put my footage to a 6TB external storage and use proxy media in FCPX.
Ben go some case in my pockets is it worth waiting or buy the fusion, i have the Theta and Insta one and was looking at the Mi what do you think, buy or wait til September....Thanks
360...Wow now that's opened my mind. I've seen it but not really understood it or the cameras. Love your presentations I look forward to learning more. Thanks Ben
Hey Ben, started my 360 journey using an Insta360Air and am looking forward to upgrade my cam. I am confused between Insta360 One and Madventure. I own an Android fone, Honor view 10. How good is the android adapter for insta360 one? Which one should i go for? Thanks im advance mate.
Hi Ben, I have a question. My budget is very very low (under 50 $) and I'm looking for a 360 cam for social networks (so the resolution is not very important to me). What do you think about the Huawei 360 Envizion Camera? Thank you and sorry for my bad english
Hey Dude, Do you only get one battery with the Insta 360 one pack with the selfie stick..? Also can the camera be used and charged at the same time....... thinking of using it for MC touring.... good comparison vid... thanks.....
I have the gear 360 which I use quite often and always in "photography" mode. I do have one question: is there a "hack" or workaround that I can use to insert my own logo in order to cover up the small portion of tripod that's visible in each image? There is the option to use something similar in the settings menu but not only inserts a Samsung 360 logo.
Question: what would you recommend for Primary students creating content for the Google Tour Creator - they are recommending, the Theta which is handy because it can come with a mic, which is always a problem to add narration in class.
Which 360 action can starts recording the fastest from being off? I don't like to miss my shot and I've found from regular action cams that start up can take a significant amount of time.
We were trying out this project recently using the Ricoh Theta S but couldn't create a proper HDR since it doesn't have RAW support for images. What 360 cam would you recommend for RAW image capture? (automatic stitching support for free on top would be a plus) (edit: it's a vfx-related project, so we're looking for proper dynamic range...aside from doing it with a DSLR)
The stitching on the Insta360 One is not the best. Does the firmware update improve the stitching? Is the Theta V still better for close ups and have the better stitching? Great work! Thanks.
Hey Ben! Great informative video esp as I was stuck on which one to go for. My minds settled on the Insta360 and I wondered if there is another way to connect it to an android phone (mine is a note 8) without buying the adapter (as I use a chunky battery case on my phone so I'm afraid the adapter won't fit with the phone case on!!) Would you know which cable/usb adapter I would have to go for? Thanks
Hi Tracey, I’d ask this in the Facebook group as there are compatibility issues with a lot of android phones. To be honest it’s not going to be easy haha
I have an Old Gear 360, Two Garmin Virbs and a GoPro Fusion. The GoPro definitely has the best quality imagery and over all package as long as you have a great PC, but I think you missed a big win for the Garmin which in my opinion has one of the best workflows of any camera. The auto stitching isn't perfect, but it's still autostiching 4k footage, which many camera's on the list don't have. I would put it in the Consider pile, not the Meh. Workflow shouldn't be overlooked in a review. Plus as great at GoPro is, it's design doesn't make it great for drones, turning into an unwanted sail, and I've already experienced a fair share of freezing and glitches on the Fusion. Again, the fusion has the best image quality for the price, but it has a lot of baggage.
At $799 the VIRB is out of most people’s price range and really not worth paying more than the Fusion for. Actually most of them stitch in-camera these days too however there are more important factors like usability and the look the camera produces. Workflow is a big priority for me and if I addressed the workflow of every camera, this would be a 60 minute video instead of 20 minutes. Instead I gave my recommendations based on my overall experience of each camera.
Anyone else having issues with the Theta V not clearing out the memory from old deleted files? Support said to try deleting the 100Ricoh folder using the Windows App, tried that still shows 5 GB used up with no files. Support said that I need to return this because my camera has corrupt memory, but looking at forums this is an on-going issue ever since the Theta S.... How do you get by without filling up the memory? Also I recorded 2 long videos apparently the card needs double the space to render a clip, so I had to delete one of them so this thing can really only record a 25 minute long video not the 45 minutes it shows available?
LIFE in 360 yes I deleted the all through the app which support said today only to delete files through the PC app? Kinda strange anyways ended upgrading the newest firmware released today now it cleared my issue all memory restored. I think what happened was while I was stitching the long video over to my phone I was outside with them when the camera overheated & shut off in the middle...must of stuck a partial file that was hidden maybe. Anyways it's working now other issue I ran into if you record say a 10GB 25 minutes max video the camera needs at least double to render so I couldn't stitch any files longer than 9GB luckily I figured out you can copy them to my PC & use the PC app to stitch them first one I had a corrupt render from the previous firmware then the new firmware recording today worked without issues & plays fine now. Will do more video testing soon hopefully this thing will work out now so I don't end up returning it because this thing has lots of potential & features just wish it had more memory or expansion to work with instead of work around.
So I am trying the Madventure because it came with the selfie stick and tripod and I like the visual orange so I can find it. While I'm busy at work I shot one video walking to my truck and it stitched and I was able to make a tiny planet and now I just need to understand what the heck I'm doing!! Think it will be fun, going to the ski slopes in two weeks.
What camera is recommended for underwater live streaming 360 to a computer. - reason is that I have a Koi pond, and I would like to have a camera under water at all time to check up at my koi. it doesnt matter if it needs to be wired to a surface antenna to get the signal to the computer or just wired all the way in door to the computer !
Another awesome video. Thanks so much for your work dude. Hey these cameras record legit 360 sound that follows where you are looking or do you need a separate audio device for that? Cheers!
It’s Paul again. I really enjoy your videos and thank you for your speedy reply. I just ventured my drone business into the 360 Tour market and I am not very happy with the Madventure for interior business restaurant shots. What would you recommend to replace it for better still pictures? I’ve watched all of your videos so can you tell me what you would buy right now?
Hi, super nice job as always. I own the mi sphere, but Im going Egypt in June and want to bring back quality 360 footage. What would be a nice step up ? Is jumping to the fusion enough ? I will shoot inside temples as outside panoramas, and some diving too, is the fusion waterproof?
Hey!!! I really enjoyed this video, thanks for putting in the time and effort making it! :) I had a few questions, as of now (late September 2018) is the Insta360 One still your best pic for a consumer camera under the $600 price range? Also, when you record with this camera, does the software use the gyroscope sensor data to autocorrect for the horizon (like if the lens is pointing downward will the video stiching correct for the horizon)? Do you know the Insta360 One's blind spot distance? Like between lens to lens. And my final question! If you were to mount a dual lens 360 camera to something like a drone or a mountain bike which camera is the current best out there under $600? Thanks again! I really hope you read this 😅
Wow great review. I am about to head to Switzerland to hike the TMB. Thought I should take a 360 even though I have no idea how to use one. I am going to buy the Insta360 one because of this review. You are a pleasure to listen to and I trust you are looking out for all of us:). Thank you.
You mentioned the case it comes with (the one) was too small ... did get fix that ? Also you mentioned in another video that the one was not as sturdy... as some of the other 360 cams ... any improvement in that regard ?Thank you in advance for all your great reviews
Note you say 360 isn't taking off due to viewing issues for most folks, May I suyggest you take a look at Collect 360 (android) video editing app, 360 to rectilinear with pan & zoom like the Insta360 app
Hi mate, thanks for your review. I've never owned an action cam and about to make the first purchase for our USA Vacation (Disney, Vegas, Sea World, Universal Studios, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco) in August. I have narrowed down my selection between GoPro 6 and Sony FDR-X3000. Overall, what is your expert opinion on what should I buy? Many thanks again.
I wanted to purchase a 360 camera like a year ago and i didn't... Now that i have the possibility of doing it, this vid definitely puts me up to date. Thanks a lot mate!!
Thanks for the great video! It's really useful to see a direct comparison of each camera. Do you have any plans to look at the Lenovo Mirage? It's not 360, only 180 but with 3D. It's a cool format that might give really interesting results.
I have to say.. I've had no problem with Yi.. Voice command isn't good.. But I use it for mostly photo. I've considered the gopro.. Well.. Actually i had the gopro fusion before the android software was ready.. So I sent it back.. But don't know if image quality between yi and gopro would justify a repurchase of the gopro
Bummer, I own Gear 360 2017..... but like you said, any 360 is better than no 360. I also own a 360 fly, but they still need to improve on ease of use...... Thanks for the video!
I love my mi sphere camera works so well every update gets better fact they even released a remote for it now to so you hit record with out having to connect with your phone.
Nice review. I currently use Mijia and I am satisfied with it, although I only upload to social media. I've only done photos however, because I haven't found the right software to edit on my PC. I tried Insta360 studio, but it won't start and their site is not helpful at all. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm listening. Keep in mind, I wanted to make tiny planet videos :)
Thanks- check out the photo samples in the description to get a better idea of what they do.. if photos are your priority then definitely consider Theta V, Fusion, Mi Sphere 👍
Currently using a DSLR and Stitching Software as the results still seem WAY beyond of all the cameras you mentioned. Do you think this will change anytime soon? Talking about 360 photo only now.
DSLR will ALWAYS be better for resolution, and 360 cameras will most often be better for workflow. And for posting to social media like most people do, a fast workflow is the bigger priority.
Ben can any of the 360 degree camera give me a tool where i can measure linear distances. Or do you have any other suggestions to measure vertical and horizontal distances from 360 degree video.
I have few 360 cameras each good in a specific field, INSTA360 PRO for Professional , Theta V for tight areas, Gopro Fusion for drone and bumpy areas, Garmin for backup professional , Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K for 3D 180 , Insta360 One for bullet and easy over-capture on your mobile and still use the 12 GOPRO rig from 360rize for 12k 360 videos. One camera missing is a proper 360 drone camera at least 5.7k and up small easy for traveling.
Interesting- do you think the Fusion doesn’t fit that description? It’s 5.2k but looks much higher resolution than that
No fusion is also good, I found out you can save 5.7k out of fusion now with bit of coding yes
Thanks for the shout out Ben! I think the issue with Yi is that if you dont have a Windows PC you are left only with mobile and as you said, with mobile it is mediocre. I'll do another updated review to show more about it because i think the video detail is really excellent. Best regards, Mic
360Rumors.com i would agree here with Mic. For photo this camera is not that good. But for video it's a bargain at that 399 price. The worlkflow using pc is easy.
Great- looking forward to it! Yeah I think for Mac and iPhone users it’s unusable, and that’s 50+% of 360 camera owners there. But for PC users it could definitely be a viable option 👍
Not only does the Yi360VR shoot high bitrate 5.7k 360 video, but its Windows app "Yi 360 Studio" uses optical flow to make nearly-perfect seams. I've worked with a lot of 360 footage, and the Yi360 is shockingly good for the price. Do fire up a virtual or real machine and give it another go.
I've managed to get Yi 360 Studio to successfully stitch footage on MacOS using Wine, but it's difficult to use as parts of the software interface aren't rendering properly and so it must be operated blind.
The Yi also seems to have good heat management. I've done very long captures while recording to a 128Gb SD card with the camera connected to an external USB battery.
I zip tied a Samsung Gear 360 onto my Phantom 3 standard and got interesting results. What do you think?
ruclips.net/video/n4JwUI5VHak/видео.html
I really thought the Insta 360 one would make good videos but it can not replace a gimbal with a decent action cam. The image quality looks like potato mode.
I watched a dozen of reviews by now and no one of you guys do actually action driven outdoor stuff. What a shame because then you would INSTANT see how bad this camera actually is.
My GoPro 3 Black with a 3 axis Gimbal make much better shots than this.
I have a channel with 90k+ subs, bought the Insta360 ONE based on your reviews, live Streaming doesn't work with accounts that have multiple RUclips Channels on one account, make sure to mention that next time. I just spent money on "360 Live stream" camera that doesn't work for creators like me :( :(. should have gone for the go pro fussion, better video, and can't stream either.
How am I supposed to know that? So few people need to stream from multiple accounts, that even if I knew, I’m not going into that level of detail in a video like this that covers so many cameras. Ask in the Insta360 Facebook group, I’m sure there a way around it.
I have the Insta360 One and got the firmware 1 week after I bought it. I love that camera. Just as you said the app makes it so easy to use. Keep up the good Ben. Cheers.
Awesome 😎
I feel totally vindicated in my Christmas purchase of an Insta360 One. Literally the only thing I don't like about it is that the quality when re-framed could be better, but for the price I'm more than happy to wait for an 8K camera to become affordable. The stabilisation is AMAZING and with the most recent update is easily as good as the Rylo but at half the price. Best entry-level 360 camera IMHO.
👍👍👍
I bought my Insta360 when it was first released. I have had so much fun with this camera. It has got my creative juices flowing again. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it!
Have to say, I have now bought the Samsung 360 old version thanks to this channel (and had one outing already even though the weather is not great). And a couple of thoughts for those interested (I'm going to discuss photography side):
1. It is a great camera for stills (in fact better than samsung's newer one) with 30MP files and for this price it really is a steal - you can amuse facebook friends with your clever 360 photos, you can upload directly to Google Street View (camera has all the settings needed, you just need ANY android phone).
2. You don't need to use a smartphone to get 360 photos - the device is configurable enough and you can set a delayed timer if you need to get out of the view. And you can upload the photos directly to your pc or mac (samsung's software is shocking though - some sort of repackaged CyberLink app).Once you get the stitched file you are free to use any software - photoshop will let you open and edit the 360 environment on the fly removing all the stitching artifacts).
3. Drum-roll.... you can get an unlocked 360 gear app from XDA developers which means you don't need a Samsung phone to enjoy the benefits of changing camera settings on the fly and reviewing footage immediately. I would definitely put this into a "BUY" category for photos (might be an idea for this channel to review the other side of 360 equipment).
4. You will want GOOD light for this to give you shots that you can be proud of. And by that I mean sunshine or dappled shade. Forget indoors and low light (dusk/dawn) shots.
All the best! Al
👍👍👍
Couldn't agree more with the Insta 360 One, I'm glad it was my first 360 camera, killer feature for me was live streaming events and gigs, the new update is great but still has a few bugs, looking forward to receiving the Fusion tomorrow as I've been waiting months for this! Clients are loving the addition of 360 to my photography and hopefully the fusion lives up to it.
That’s awesome to hear- and good choices 👍
one thing to remember about every 360 camera is lense distance. so many "experts" on 360 cameras overlook this. The closer the lenses are to each other the better the stitching will be. This will make a near invisible seam when looking back at the video (pictures not so much because of photo spoofing during the auto stitching process of any camera). This is why I absolutely hate the virb because it is so thicc and why I love the gear 2017 over the 2016. I'm personally rocking the fusion because it simply has the best color sensor and best stitching while staying in a conosumerish range. I'm looking at getting the theta V mainly for livestreaming and battery life (another thing "experts" over look). All that said, I do like your quick opinion review of the camera lists.
Maybe you should become an ‘expert’ and teach us what we’re missing 😉
I'm liking my GoPro Fusion :) I discovered what the Fusion software really wants. It wants a very strong GPU to process the video on a computer. The Fusion software makes better use of the GPU than lots of other video editing software.
Yeah 😀
Richard's World Traveler Loving my GoPro Fusion as well. Video and photo quality is great.
does it have 360 ?
I love my fusion, but I can tell you, the fusion software does like GPU power but it loves fast storage as well, if you are stitching in 5.3k. If in just 4k, then fast storage doesn't matter too much.
Got my GoPro Fusion en route. Delivery expected friday! Looking forward to putting it on my racecar
Awesome 👍
BTW Ben I’m using Garmin Verb editing software for my Ricoh Theta V because I cannot afford the premium editors. Are there any others I could try?
Do you mean for reframing? Insta360 Studio is my software of choice for that. I don’t use free video editing software so I can recommend anything unfortunately
Awesome comparison as always Ben! Fusion is my favorite and I own it! Theta is probably second.
Thanks- two great choices 👍
I need a 360 📷 for shooting virtual tours of hotel rooms. Could you please suggest me the one that can provide the best quality. Also many time the lighting condition inside room can only be dependent on artificial light. Please help
Awesome video!!! I bought the Rylo 360 yesterday but I'm returning it. Although the stabilization is amazing, there are 3 things that killed it for me. 1. You can't charge while filming. 2. It only works with a couple SD Cards (very particular), 3. The app is amazing, but my phone can't store an hours worth of video, and there's no way to make the app used the external memory card. Also, 4. The app (android) crashes, 5. the water proof case is expensive, 6. I can't find after-market batteries.
Thanks- for me point 3 is the most annoying.. storage is always an issue. But still it’s an amazing cam if you can get past that.
can you help me how to edit the video in 360, because i just want the video with ration in 16:9 but the gopro fusion default video is 360, i tried to turn stabilization on but the camera isn't focus on me, the stabilization makes the frame stand still so when I move the camera won't focus on my face and it creates a stickline, sorry my english is a bit bad because i am vietnamese but i hope for your support, thanks
Thank you for this detailed review. Have you played with the Vivitar 360 Action Camera? Any feedback? Thanks in advance.
No I haven’t heard of it but will keep an eye out
Thanks.
Completely agree. The updated Insta360 One is so much better now! Great video...
Cheers Mike 🍻
I totally agree - most of my youtube videos are made with the Instra360 one. The software is so easy to use and so quick!!! Even on the iPhone it is extremely fast. I use it in my darkroom too and you can see that it is getting grainy, but you can still see in very low light. For that price a winner for sure!
Awesome- agreed 👍
Companies have to understand, that it is about the ease of use - nobody wants to lose time during post processing these days. The earlier I finish my video, the earlier I can Netflix and .... ;)
Cheers to that 🍻
The purchase link states: "For iphone and ipad..." Does the i360 work with Android too? Thanks, and great review (and yes, your low-light/mixed-light kicker at the end really introduced confusion for an indoor architectural shooter like myself, but still love the review (and everything is better than my original Kodak 360)). Cheers!
I have failed to get the insta360 One to work with any of Samsung S6, Moto G4, or LG G5. It seems it will only work with a VERY limited subset of Android phones, and insta don't seem interested in changing that. OTOH the insta360 Air works on all three of my Android phones.
I have my 360 2017 from samsung for like almost 3 years and i didnt get any bad thing i think its better of most of your 360 cameras even in the quality
Thanks Ben, i like how you analysed with the pros and cons of each camera, really worth the time spent, from the newbie.
Glad to hear it 👍
I was almost convinced with the Insra360 ONE, now i am totally convinced!!
Cool 😎
LIFE in 360 but I'll have to wait a few weeks and get it (hope they have that and the Android USB c adapter) in Thailand!
Thank you so much your very understandable comparison video.
Your information helps me alot.
Now I'm looking foward to 2019 model.
I'll keep track of your new videos to check it !
Thanks Ben, Always enjoy your reviews. Do you find the Insta360 one or the Rylo better in overall picture quality and especially in low lightings? Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Thanks- that’s a tough one because they’re both cameras that excel at video but not photo. I guess I’d say the Insta360 just for the increased resolution 👍
Good. please guide me, what software do you use to edit and export 360 degree videos?
Great review. I was originally thinking I wanted to buy the Fusion, but after watching your video decided to go with the Insta360 One. I did want the quality of the Fusion, but think the cost and easy of use with the software make the Insta360 an easy choice. Hopefully, they continue to innovate to improve video and photo quality.
Thanks, agreed!
excellent video!! i'm still using the original Samsung Gear 360 (2016). I completely agree that having one beats not having one. It's much easier to take 360 photos with a real 360 camera than using my smartphone to stitch a 360 photo.
Yeah
Normaly i dont comment videos. But you put a lot of effort in this video. Even the video goes 20 min, i loved every second. It was nice and compact, i got all my infos... thank you a lot, helped me really to choose the right one :)
Great, happy to hear it!
Thank you, top notch. Though I disagree on fusion, post processing is a nightmare. Shouldn't be on buy list until the mobile workflow is there
Thanks- like I’ve mentioned in my past videos you need a fast computer setup to work with it. And if you do, it destroys all of these cameras! So it’s more for prosumers than consumers who only want to use a phone.
LIFE in 360 i understand, but that in it self disqualifies it from being on the Buy list. I mean the Rylo to me beats it hands down in terms of ease of use and accessibility and it didn't make it to the list. It's like trying to use an F1 car as a daily driver, it might be fastest but it doesn't make it a good idea.
When your shoot 360 you want the best result possible.. and the Fusion gets the best result possible. Speed of workflow isn’t important to everyone, especially those who want the best looking footage possible.
I had the same problem with my Samsung 360 same as your model. I found that if you leave it for over 2-3 weeks the battery completely discharges. It needs a very small trickle charge to get it working again. Like a car ciggerate lighter supply charge leave it in there for 10-15 min then it will have enough charge to work. Then you can plug it into a faster charger. Problem will happen again though if you leave it discharge completely again.
Interesting
I really like my Xiaomi Mi Sphere (thanks to you). The only real default is the battery too short...
It’s about equal with the others- great camera though 👍
I own the Fusion, in terms of picture quality only does the insta 360 one matches the fusion? I'm thinking of buying one especially because you can edit straight from your phone which you can't with the fusion. I'd love to edit those pics on the go.
So should i buy one as a back up camera or am i just wasting money?
Picture quality is nowhere near the Fusion. Check out my video where I compare the Fusion against 6 other cams
Hi Ben, Great video again. Could you tell me which of the 360 cameras in your BUY LIST you prefer to use on 360 virtual tour for a pro shoot?
Check out the video I made about this exact topic
I went with the insta 360 one and the new update is sweet! Before purchase I did my homework but you helped my decision! Thanks Ben
Awesome 👍
I have a Gear360 and it experienced the same power on issues. I noticed it on February 20, 2019 after it sat on my shelf for 3 months. Just keep plugging it with different USB C cables and use the USB / USB c adapter. I plugged it with an Apple cube wall power adapter yesterday (March 5, 2019) and it finally registered the power on. I suspect there is some oxidation on the power terminals so plugging in and out may have brushed off the oxide off the terminals. It will eventually power on. Good Luck.
👍
Can you tell me which is the best for prolonged recording...more than 1 hour continuously? My Samsung would heat up and stop after 20 minutes. I wanted reunion footage around a table.
I’d say Mi Sphere or GoPro Fusion.. although plug them into power if you can as they will last 45-60 minutes without it
What would you recommend for fast motorcycle ? The insta 360 is 30fps. I am looking for 360 camera so I can use the 360 footage as if I have multiple cameras. Flick to different angels and forward and backwards eg....Prob needs to be 60fps and at least 4K. Sound is another problem in camera.
Check out my One X video
Excellent, Thank you I am so glad i bought the Insta especially now with the firmware update, I also own the Theta S , I bought this as it had good reviews and a superb form factor and have no regrets and again with new firmware its great.
Nice choice Neil 👍👍
I ordered Mi Sphere with the link you provided after watching this video. 😊 I hope I'll enjoy the world of 360 as you do.
You will- nice choice 👍
Best under low light ?
I'm looking for the best quality video under low-light conditions, which of these do you recommend ? I heard from various reviews that the insta 360, although a great camera, it's not so great in low light, as it supposedly has a lot of noise. What's the best under low light ?
Theta V
A 360 camera optimized for videos that would record plugged in power for long duration (about 2 hours). Mac and PC friendly. Which one fits in this context?
Mi Sphere, Fusion
Insta 360 one is ok if I have an android phone with usb c? Look like it's for iPhone only I check on Amazon and the manufacturer site
Hmm I think they may have an adapter but you’ll have to check their website
Looks like my Rylo is going back to Amazon. While I appreciate the speeds that it’s cable allows, it is just begging to get lost. Add the lack of a photo timer and other basic features that the Insta360 One now offers at $299, it makes this decision incredibly easy.
You won’t be disappointed 👍
Which 360 cam has the best quality ( compare to the price ) and has more accessories. I want something like go pro which has everthing you can imagine. Something I can attach it to my car's top and capture. I checked there in nothing for Insta 360 one except a waterproof case. Can you please advise.
See my updated video 👍
Thanks for another great video.. So... would a 2015 iMac retina work well with Fusion? I guess no? So I spent the budget on a new 360 camera..? Mavic air.....
Thanks. Listen to the Fusion section again, where I talk about computer speeds. Also watch my Fusion review 👍
Thank you so much Ben for the shout out!!
You da man 🤜🏻
Did not have time to write a mail to you until now. If you like i just send you a hallo to exchange adresses. But good news Professor Barbu an international expert with a lots of contacts will go with us from July until october when university starts again. He will guide us also to the secret places normal tourists have no access. Special places to make Fotos and videos with eagles, delphins, bears and other animals we can see so with some luck. Some info in German is here. www.oejv-hessen.de/PDF/Prospekt_Donaudelta_2017_Mai_Vorankundigung.pdf
Hopefully we will have a Leica Spective on board
Daniela! Start a kickstarter campaign or Indiegogo! You will get some money and support - sound amazing project. Sorry spamming Ben channel lol.
Thank you for the comparison now you make me want to get another one. I have just bought the Theta V and have been testing it for the Google Streetview program. It is a way to shoot video of an area upload it to Google Maps by way of the Streetview app and contribute your own personal additions to Streetview. It is a niche application but some of your viewers may be into that kind of thing. I have posted a how-to video on the way that it is done if there is any interest. I was forced into the Theta V since I wanted the Streetview capability and it is the only one currently available to do it with. Google wants everything mapped in Streetview so there will be a lot of activity on this in the future as far as I can see.
Nice one David- Theta V is great 👍
A couple of features unique to the Theta V that were not covered are the ambisonic capability and the ability to send images to a television using the camera as a remote. Would this have improved it's rating?
PS I'm still using a Theta S, and this video was great to help me choose my next 4k camera.
Some of your meh's have my cardinal points. I look for the same features as for my action cam:
1. Good enough resolution photo and video (not sure yet for 360 )
2. Good output wo. any post prod
3. iPhone only workflow
4. Waterproof without housing
5. Ok video stabilisation
(And wish for acceptable low light performance)
Want to travel light and quick, so no post, no housing, no PC.
I look for those things too!
Hmm, I miss a 360 underwater shootout (no housing). I was about to buy the Fusion when I saw the outrageously horrible underwater footage, now looking for mi sphere underwater footage...
Do the cameras with only 1 lens save any actual VR content -> e.g do they save the video for 2 eyes( depth ) or just flat 360 video like Vuze camera
No because 2 eyes is from 2 lenses. Wouldn’t recommend a single lens camera as they’re not full 360
My favourite is the insta360 one and I am buying it this week but I found it cheaper at apple for almost the same price but with the tripod, selfie stick, bullet time handle and a protective case for 329 US dollars and 429 Canadian dollars
Nice 👍
I want to mount a 360 camera to the bow of a canoe and possibly to my white water kayak. With that in mind what would be the better? I have an old MacBook it doesn't handle 4K well so the GoPro may have issue, but I usually put my footage to a 6TB external storage and use proxy media in FCPX.
If you have a slow computer then I’d probably suggest Garmin VIRB.. it’s waterproof and pretty easy to deal with in post 👍
Ben go some case in my pockets is it worth waiting or buy the fusion, i have the Theta and Insta one and was looking at the Mi what do you think, buy or wait til September....Thanks
Honestly I think it will be a while before something better than Fusion comes out
360...Wow now that's opened my mind. I've seen it but not really understood it or the cameras. Love your presentations I look forward to learning more. Thanks Ben
Super happy to hear it!
Hey Ben, started my 360 journey using an Insta360Air and am looking forward to upgrade my cam.
I am confused between Insta360 One and Madventure.
I own an Android fone, Honor view 10.
How good is the android adapter for insta360 one?
Which one should i go for?
Thanks im advance mate.
Go Mi Sphere!
Hi Ben, I have a question. My budget is very very low (under 50 $) and I'm looking for a 360 cam for social networks (so the resolution is not very important to me). What do you think about the Huawei 360 Envizion Camera? Thank you and sorry for my bad english
I don’t know that camera- but the Gear 360 if that’s all you can afford 👍
Hey Dude, Do you only get one battery with the Insta 360 one pack with the selfie stick..? Also can the camera be used and charged at the same time....... thinking of using it for MC touring.... good comparison vid... thanks.....
Hey- the battery is inbuilt so yes there’s only one. And I don’t think you can charge/record simultaneously 👍
Is there a case for the Xiaomi MiSphere360?
To have to fear less when it would bump into something or fall into water.
Especially for the lenses.
If you search the internet you can probably find something
Insta 360 X2
I have the gear 360 which I use quite often and always in "photography" mode.
I do have one question: is there a "hack" or workaround that I can use to insert my own logo in order to cover up the small portion of tripod that's visible in each image?
There is the option to use something similar in the settings menu but not only inserts a Samsung 360 logo.
Yes but you have to do it in photoshop/premiere.. I have a tutorial about that if you search for ‘replace nadir with logo’
@@BenClaremont Thanks for the answer Ben but is there another way for those of us without Adobe products?
Question: what would you recommend for Primary students creating content for the Google Tour Creator - they are recommending, the Theta which is handy because it can come with a mic, which is always a problem to add narration in class.
Hi Russell, the simpler the better.. if you can afford Theta then great, otherwise Insta360 is a good simple option
Which 360 action can starts recording the fastest from being off? I don't like to miss my shot and I've found from regular action cams that start up can take a significant amount of time.
I’d say the Garmin VIRB. If you watch my review it takes about 6 seconds. I think Fusion takes about 10
We were trying out this project recently using the Ricoh Theta S but couldn't create a proper HDR since it doesn't have RAW support for images. What 360 cam would you recommend for RAW image capture? (automatic stitching support for free on top would be a plus) (edit: it's a vfx-related project, so we're looking for proper dynamic range...aside from doing it with a DSLR)
Check out my video about shooting raw, otherwise use HDR rendering within the Theta app
The stitching on the Insta360 One is not the best. Does the firmware update improve the stitching? Is the Theta V still better for close ups and have the better stitching? Great work! Thanks.
Hey- not really.. because the camera is so thick the stitching is what it is. Theta all the way!
Just got a Theta V and like it so far. Where can I get that monopold with a spike you can drive in the ground?
Cool- not sure..
Hey Ben! Great informative video esp as I was stuck on which one to go for. My minds settled on the Insta360 and I wondered if there is another way to connect it to an android phone (mine is a note 8) without buying the adapter (as I use a chunky battery case on my phone so I'm afraid the adapter won't fit with the phone case on!!) Would you know which cable/usb adapter I would have to go for? Thanks
Hi Tracey, I’d ask this in the Facebook group as there are compatibility issues with a lot of android phones. To be honest it’s not going to be easy haha
Hi,
can you Please tell which is the cheapest 360 camera with usb/uvc interface connection?
Not sure what you mean
I have an Old Gear 360, Two Garmin Virbs and a GoPro Fusion. The GoPro definitely has the best quality imagery and over all package as long as you have a great PC, but I think you missed a big win for the Garmin which in my opinion has one of the best workflows of any camera. The auto stitching isn't perfect, but it's still autostiching 4k footage, which many camera's on the list don't have. I would put it in the Consider pile, not the Meh. Workflow shouldn't be overlooked in a review. Plus as great at GoPro is, it's design doesn't make it great for drones, turning into an unwanted sail, and I've already experienced a fair share of freezing and glitches on the Fusion. Again, the fusion has the best image quality for the price, but it has a lot of baggage.
At $799 the VIRB is out of most people’s price range and really not worth paying more than the Fusion for. Actually most of them stitch in-camera these days too however there are more important factors like usability and the look the camera produces. Workflow is a big priority for me and if I addressed the workflow of every camera, this would be a 60 minute video instead of 20 minutes. Instead I gave my recommendations based on my overall experience of each camera.
Anyone else having issues with the Theta V not clearing out the memory from old deleted files? Support said to try deleting the 100Ricoh folder using the Windows App, tried that still shows 5 GB used up with no files. Support said that I need to return this because my camera has corrupt memory, but looking at forums this is an on-going issue ever since the Theta S.... How do you get by without filling up the memory? Also I recorded 2 long videos apparently the card needs double the space to render a clip, so I had to delete one of them so this thing can really only record a 25 minute long video not the 45 minutes it shows available?
To be honest I’ve never had that issue.. have you tried deleting the files individually through the app?
LIFE in 360 yes I deleted the all through the app which support said today only to delete files through the PC app? Kinda strange anyways ended upgrading the newest firmware released today now it cleared my issue all memory restored. I think what happened was while I was stitching the long video over to my phone I was outside with them when the camera overheated & shut off in the middle...must of stuck a partial file that was hidden maybe. Anyways it's working now other issue I ran into if you record say a 10GB 25 minutes max video the camera needs at least double to render so I couldn't stitch any files longer than 9GB luckily I figured out you can copy them to my PC & use the PC app to stitch them first one I had a corrupt render from the previous firmware then the new firmware recording today worked without issues & plays fine now. Will do more video testing soon hopefully this thing will work out now so I don't end up returning it because this thing has lots of potential & features just wish it had more memory or expansion to work with instead of work around.
So I am trying the Madventure because it came with the selfie stick and tripod and I like the visual orange so I can find it. While I'm busy at work I shot one video walking to my truck and it stitched and I was able to make a tiny planet and now I just need to understand what the heck I'm doing!! Think it will be fun, going to the ski slopes in two weeks.
Good luck 👍
What camera is recommended for underwater live streaming 360 to a computer.
- reason is that I have a Koi pond, and I would like to have a camera under water at all time to check up at my koi.
it doesnt matter if it needs to be wired to a surface antenna to get the signal to the computer or just wired all the way in door to the computer !
The only camera capable of that would be the garmin VIRB 👍
thank you, Ill put that on the list when I go shopping :)
Another awesome video. Thanks so much for your work dude. Hey these cameras record legit 360 sound that follows where you are looking or do you need a separate audio device for that? Cheers!
Thanks- some do and some don’t. Just gotta look out for ‘spatial audio’ if that’s important to you 👍
LIFE in 360 Aargh dammit the MiSphere only has a mono mic :(
It’s Paul again. I really enjoy your videos and thank you for your speedy reply. I just ventured my drone business into the 360 Tour market and I am not very happy with the Madventure for interior business restaurant shots. What would you recommend to replace it for better still pictures? I’ve watched all of your videos so can you tell me what you would buy right now?
Hi Paul- would suggest watching my video ‘which is the best 360 camera for virtual tours’ 👍
Hi, super nice job as always. I own the mi sphere, but Im going Egypt in June and want to bring back quality 360 footage. What would be a nice step up ? Is jumping to the fusion enough ? I will shoot inside temples as outside panoramas, and some diving too, is the fusion waterproof?
Thanks- check out my Fusion review! I think it’s a great choice for what you described 👍
Hey!!! I really enjoyed this video, thanks for putting in the time and effort making it! :)
I had a few questions, as of now (late September 2018) is the Insta360 One still your best pic for a consumer camera under the $600 price range? Also, when you record with this camera, does the software use the gyroscope sensor data to autocorrect for the horizon (like if the lens is pointing downward will the video stiching correct for the horizon)? Do you know the Insta360 One's blind spot distance? Like between lens to lens. And my final question! If you were to mount a dual lens 360 camera to something like a drone or a mountain bike which camera is the current best out there under $600? Thanks again! I really hope you read this 😅
Hey- check out my updated video as it will answer these questions, it’s called Top Ten 360 Cameras in mid 2018. Also see my Insta360 One review
Wow great review. I am about to head to Switzerland to hike the TMB. Thought I should take a 360 even though I have no idea how to use one. I am going to buy the Insta360 one because of this review. You are a pleasure to listen to and I trust you are looking out for all of us:). Thank you.
Thanks Diane, enjoy!
Hello Ben, is Macbook Pro Touch Bar and Touch ID 3.1GHz Processor 256GB Storage good for editing 5,2k 360 videos?
These aren’t important factors- what’s important is RAM and video card. Watch my Fusion review for suggested computer specs 👍
Which is better to buy and use between go pro hero 2018 and Insta 360??
Insta360
What's better, madv or the Huawei envizion 360? Looks about the same size
Don’t know the second one so I’d say the MadV
thanks for this. i would like to use a 360 camera to make HDR images for global illumination in Blender. do your top picks offer HDR?
Not sure what blender is but Theta V and Fusion are best for dynamic range
The GoPro Fusion is finally available in Spain, so... birthday!!!!
Woohoo 🎉
pjorge Fusion is awesome!
I am looking to get a 360 camera to start offering VT for interior's for real estate. Would the insta360 one be a good camera to start with?
Nah.. check out the video I made that answers this question 😉
You mentioned the case it comes with (the one) was too small ... did get fix that ? Also you mentioned in another video that the one was not as sturdy... as some of the other 360 cams ... any improvement in that regard ?Thank you in advance for all your great reviews
Hey- the design hasn’t changed unfortunately
Note you say 360 isn't taking off due to viewing issues for most folks, May I suyggest you take a look at Collect 360 (android) video editing app, 360 to rectilinear with pan & zoom like the Insta360 app
Yes I’m very familiar with over capture.. infact I wrote a book about it!
I'm looking for a decent 360 camera that has GPS and gauges like the GoPro has. What you you suggest?
The GoPro lol
Hi mate, thanks for your review. I've never owned an action cam and about to make the first purchase for our USA Vacation (Disney, Vegas, Sea World, Universal Studios, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco) in August. I have narrowed down my selection between GoPro 6 and Sony FDR-X3000. Overall, what is your expert opinion on what should I buy? Many thanks again.
Sorry but I know nothing about those cameras.. my channel is about 360 cameras 👍
Heyy am looking 360 degree cam for my car can u tell me which 1 is best
One X
I wanted to purchase a 360 camera like a year ago and i didn't... Now that i have the possibility of doing it, this vid definitely puts me up to date. Thanks a lot mate!!
Awesome 😎
I want a 360 camera for vr but my budget is low it's under 350 dollars I m confused which will look better in vr mi sphere or insta360 one
Download the samples in the description to help you decide 👍
Which one has a helmet mount? I’d like to start filming my hockey games , thanks in advance if you ever do wind up answering this question
You can mount any of them to a helmet.. you just need to find a helmet with a tripod mount on it
Thanks for the great video! It's really useful to see a direct comparison of each camera. Do you have any plans to look at the Lenovo Mirage? It's not 360, only 180 but with 3D. It's a cool format that might give really interesting results.
Thanks- I haven’t heard of it but I’ll definitely look into it 👍
I have to say.. I've had no problem with Yi.. Voice command isn't good.. But I use it for mostly photo. I've considered the gopro.. Well.. Actually i had the gopro fusion before the android software was ready.. So I sent it back.. But don't know if image quality between yi and gopro would justify a repurchase of the gopro
Honestly the GoPro beats the Yi in every way, even when it does work. But if the Yi works for you then great 👍
Hi ben, my Spheres one side lens is broken. Now with one lens how to take 360.
Sorry to hear
hello ben, can i use my xiaomi mi sphere for live streaming for youtube or facebook? thanks
Hi Anne, no the Mi Sphere doesn’t have live streaming unfortunately
Bummer, I own Gear 360 2017..... but like you said, any 360 is better than no 360. I also own a 360 fly, but they still need to improve on ease of use...... Thanks for the video!
No worries
I love my mi sphere camera works so well every update gets better fact they even released a remote for it now to so you hit record with out having to connect with your phone.
👍👍👍
Nice review. I currently use Mijia and I am satisfied with it, although I only upload to social media. I've only done photos however, because I haven't found the right software to edit on my PC. I tried Insta360 studio, but it won't start and their site is not helpful at all. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm listening. Keep in mind, I wanted to make tiny planet videos :)
Thanks- Insta360 Studio is really the best, keep trying because it should work.
Quick Q: what’s the main diff with these 3?: insta360 One, Nano, & Nano S? Other than pricepoints..
Check out my reviews of those 3 cameras to see 😉
great video, really informative. i am looking for the one that captures the best still image. what one would you suggest
Thanks- check out the photo samples in the description to get a better idea of what they do.. if photos are your priority then definitely consider Theta V, Fusion, Mi Sphere 👍
Currently using a DSLR and Stitching Software as the results still seem WAY beyond of all the cameras you mentioned. Do you think this will change anytime soon? Talking about 360 photo only now.
DSLR will ALWAYS be better for resolution, and 360 cameras will most often be better for workflow. And for posting to social media like most people do, a fast workflow is the bigger priority.
Ben can any of the 360 degree camera give me a tool where i can measure linear distances. Or do you have any other suggestions to measure vertical and horizontal distances from 360 degree video.
Yeah you can do it in Cupix if you make a virtual tour. See my Cupix videos on my channel
