With the lens protector, Waterproof rating, and bigger battery, I think it's a big step up in utility vs. the One X I have. I'm sure more pixels will come in the future, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the 5.7k is still incredible!
Case in point: I shot this is with the OneX and had to land to change batteries. More battery life would have been handy. Waterproofness would be awesome for kiteboarding. The lens protector would be awesome anywhere, all the time LOL! ruclips.net/video/xfGBdWUWyao/видео.html
5.7k over the entire sphere looks like garbage once you reframe it. It only looks good on a phone. I totally agree with your other points, though! Pretty much the best 360 cam under 500 dollars.
One of my favorite reviewer on youtube. He even takes his time to reply to his audience. Ill be saving money for this, still deciding between this and the new Gopro9
A few questions: it is possible to connect an external microphone via the USB-TypeC input (with adapter); Will the wireless connection used to pair the camera with the AirPods be compatible with other devices from different brands? Thanks for listening.
Awesome review - watched all your comparisons between the action cams and the next day, bought the One X2. It’s amazing! Would love to see an editing tutorial from you 👏
Following you from soo long time.. Amazing videos.... Just loving it.. Still it will take year or so to buy my first camera , saving still going on... But will see your video before buying one.. 😊😊All the best... Stay fit and healthy.. ❤️
Excellent review. Entertaining and informative. Do you know if the Insta360 app can be used on an iPad as well as the various phones they list as compatible? Thanks!
Ben you said it's good to watch on the mobile phones. But here when I downed to quality to 720p for some reason I saw a reduction in quality. The highlights were off, the sharpness was not good and the HDR was not so on the point. If I would want better quality I would prefer Gopro 9 for 21dollars more. Btw kudos on the videos man. Keep pumpin' em at us man.
Thinking about upgrading my one x so what do I do, come and see you Ben, your the best out there. I have been getting into these scooters and ebikes and i think the insta 360 cameras are best for shooting those videos for me.
This camera it's actually good. Might be my first Insta cam ;) Will work perfectly mounted on my motorcycle. I saw no purple or blue fringing on your video. It's good but you know I have to wait untill next spring to get it. Maybe the price will drop untill then as I don't need a new camera right now. I only use cameras for motorcycle travels and Winter is Coming! Great review! Thanks!
Which would you recommend best for zip-lining? The X2 or hero 8? It will be mounted to the helmet. I have watched both reviews and the one you compared this the x1 and the GoPro max. And I can’t decide which would be better for that.
So I have a GoPro 5 and 9. Does the selfie sticks, and the other items fit this camera? I do video of cooking, and I would like to not have to change all the sticks that I have currently. The Gopro 5 has just really poor mic's, so it is not good to use for talking.
Despite the great reviews So far I have been pretty disappointed with this camera it doesn't work with out the camera app and constantly asks to reregister . If it worked right it would be great. Instra gave me a test to run and results seems to indicate the camara has some memory write failures per the log. I would like to get some sort of fix for the camera but they are so slow in responding is frustrating that I am thinking I'd like to get my money back.
Ty, fine review. Big fish, and you did not put the cam to the water test. Shame. But. 1: lence protect, sits over 2 mics ? Water drops will be directed into those micro holes, if on. 2: does it do 5,7k incam stitching, or in post ? How long stitchtime if, 1min 5,7k takes ?min
In 5.7K, the Insta360 ONE X2 stops after 30 minutes of recording and then resumes recording after 5 seconds. 5 seconds of recording are therefore missing. As a result, it is not possible to record more than 30 minutes continuously. It's unimportant for some but for me it's a very bad surprise.
How do you think this would work for recording a live standup comedy show? I do standup and am always looking for better ways to record my sets and the audience’s response. I usually just use a camcorder at the back of the room but wondering if I should also use the X2 placed near the front for more audience shots.
Can you by any chance try if the old audio adapter works on the new one? The new ones are listed as "coming soon" and I don't want to repeat the GoPro fiasko where I could not get the audio mod for half a year and the camera was useless.
Really curious to know your opinion about One X2 vs One R. Also want to see how the fly through works! Thanks for the video, great quality as always :)
Hi Ben, Thanks for the review; do you gonna have the lens protector? if the answer is YES, please make a short review to see if the lens protector affect the 360 footage. Thanks.
I have a gopro hero 3 silver. Looking to upgrade but I'm between the insta360 one r and the x2. I mainly want to use it for motorcycle rides and bicycle rides. My concern is the size of each one of those options and weight. In both cameras will the camera hold its place on a long stick on the bike to get that invisible stick effect, putting in mind the high level of vibration. Thanks
Dear Authen, can you use it with a powerbank/external power cord for longer recording even? I usually do long rides in my velomobile. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I have a question I really hope you can help me with. I purchased the Insta360 one x2 to use for real estate photography and all the interior photos come out bowed. Is there a way to fix that or a setting to keep it from happening that you can share with me? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Victoria
I'd like to see a comparison between Gopro Max and Insta360 One X2. Focusing mainly on the edit workflow and image quality. I bet this is on the way already... Awesome opening shots!
May you please share the link or name of which app/software that i need yo down load so from INSTA 360 i can setting for more functions on PRO instead of BASIC please ? Thanks in advance
Nice review, and adding some hard numbers for field of view of the various steady cam modes would be a great addition. None of the RUclips reviewers seem to address that so far. It is great to see the X2's wider field of view and width not compromised by stabilization; a Hero 9 would have a much smaller field of view and gets even smaller with hypersmooth stabilization (in Wide just 109 degrees or 92 degrees with Boost)! The Hero 9 Max lens mod doesn't improve field of view at all, it just enables horizon levelling under extreme conditions (Gopro claims 155 degrees, but only uses 110 degrees). So, what are the horizontal fields of view for the X2 steady cam modes Ultrawide, Wide, Narrow? So far I could only see a value of 150 degrees on your video of the settings screen of the X2 and that would be a gamechanger (and stabilized)! I would also be very much interested to know the horizontal field of view for the fisheye corrected steady cam modes (linear). Another important thing is the way the ultrawide was realized. Gopro call its widest setting "Superview" which doesn't gain any horizontal field of view but instead very much distorts the left and right side of the video because of stretching the 4/3 format to a 16/9 format. This "Superview" mode gives the perception of more speed but in fact it is fake. X2 could mimic this setting or choose a true 16/9 wide setting (favourable). I would also like to know more on bitrate and possible use of flat profiles to pull more dynamic range from the sensor.
Could you tell me if there is an app for the mac as well as for a phone please as i would prefer to edit on my mac. And is it as good or the same as the one for your phone. Thank you
you forgot to mention that when using the editing Apps for insta360 to transfer video and pictures or doing editing, see to it that the Phone's "CHIP SET" must be Kirin 980, Snapfragon 845, Exynos 9810 and above chips. lower than that the app always crash.
thank you for your information. please let me know battery's temperature spec. is it work very cold day? i am a snowboarder. one x is very weak in cold. that's why I want to know one x2 battery spec.
I love it already. Should I upgrade my ONEX? Reason why I didn’t upgrade with OneR was the look of it, One R just looks/shape like every other action cam that’s why I kept my one X for that reason :)
Great video, hope u can share abit more on single view video quality and max resolution. May be can compare to Insta 360 One R video quality both in single and 360 view. Keep it up, thank you.
Nice video. Does the OneX2 work with a wireless microphone other than Airpods? My point is to have a wireless microphone in a motorcycle helmet so that it is possible to record the spoken word on a camera that will be placed somewhere on a motorcycle. Thanks for the reply.
Amazing product, and they just covered 2 of the things I didn't like on the first version (lens protector and waterproof without case). Honestly if I had to buy a new action camera I would buy this instead of the GoPro. Just a question, will you do some low light tests against the other models?
Great Review ... So so informative .. awesome. As you suggest .. I have one question .. Q. Can we get Slow Motion, hyperspace and etc in the same clip during Recording Video without stopping recording ?
I have the DJI Pocket 2 and use it on my bike and for my runs for the HyperLapse setting- which I love. Would I be able to use something similar on the Insta360ONE X2 or would I just be able to speed up the video in post? I did just end up purchasing the Insta360 to get all of those extra features with the 360 views which seem amazing!
With the lens protector, Waterproof rating, and bigger battery, I think it's a big step up in utility vs. the One X I have. I'm sure more pixels will come in the future, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the 5.7k is still incredible!

i hate you man, your review was so good, i had to pause the video and order one right away. lol
Me Seeing this comment :
he had us in the first half, not going to lie.
I think you have the best looking footage from this camera that I've seen so far.
At 8:32 when the camera fells, does it damage the lens? How easy for the lens to get scratched?
Awesome review - watched all your comparisons between the action cams and the next day, bought the One X2. It’s amazing! Would love to see an editing tutorial from you 👏
Hi, may i ask.. just wondering can we use any selfie stick as invisible stick? Or we must use dedicated invisible stick from insta360? Tq
So excited for the arrival of my insta360 one x2 in few days, thank you for this video!
I love my gopro 8,9 and max but I would love to add this to my cameras. Great video I always enjoy your reviews !
I always enjoy your reviews, Ben, even for tech that I know I won’t buy. Great job, once again. This is one that definitely interests me.
Does the steadycam mode geenrate a regular mp4 file like gopro ?
If yes, then it can be a great GoPro replacement for continuous shooters like me.
Yes, but only in 1440p and not as sharp as GoPro or OneR with wide angle module
@@tanksoo oh. Better to stay with one X then
I'll be saving just for this 😍
When they ask what would you like for Christmas. You know what you want already. Hahaha
Oh my God, Santa gonna kill me for this year wish list 😂.
😂
Amazing review 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
super useful! thanks for sharing. Just got my insta360 few days ago, and super excited to try all these cool features. :D
Which better from your opinion insta 360 x2 or gopro hero 9 ?
Total GoPro killer. This little thing is amazing 🤩
My god @5:45 the sound is so muffled and crappy on this. It's sad. I was expecting improvements on that side...
All your reviews are so great! I Amazing Camera!
Best review of this camera.
Well done! Love it and subscribed.
Excellent review 👍 Looking forward to the upcoming comparisons
Ben do you know if they support android based headphones for mic pickup similar to the Apple earpods? Thx
Finally we don't need selfie sticks anymore 😁
Superb review as always too many new gadgets to buy before Christmas!
Your videos are awesome, because of you I bought this camera, so I can make videos with my electric scooter.
Well done for the review!!
Following you from soo long time.. Amazing videos.... Just loving it.. Still it will take year or so to buy my first camera , saving still going on... But will see your video before buying one.. 😊😊All the best... Stay fit and healthy.. ❤️
Excellent review. Entertaining and informative. Do you know if the Insta360 app can be used on an iPad as well as the various phones they list as compatible? Thanks!
Very cool review - this is definitely going on the list!
I re-watched this several times. I will purchase the 360 One X2 after the holidaze with any extra monies I have left.
Ben you said it's good to watch on the mobile phones. But here when I downed to quality to 720p for some reason I saw a reduction in quality.

Probably X2, it's awesome that you capture all directions at the same time, then you can reframe after the fact to find that perfect angle
Which one is good for sneaking on a roller coaster. This one or the go 2
So I have a GoPro 5 and 9. Does the selfie sticks, and the other items fit this camera? I do video of cooking, and I would like to not have to change all the sticks that I have currently. The Gopro 5 has just really poor mic's, so it is not good to use for talking.
Great review! Most complete one out there by far! How does the little red flare compare between the One X and the One X2?
Great video! Do you think it's good for some photos?
Looking forward to this ... Exactly what I need at the moment. Thank you for your review.
Despite the great reviews So far I have been pretty disappointed with this camera it doesn't work with out the camera app and constantly asks to reregister . If it worked right it would be great.

I would like to get some sort of fix for the camera but they are so slow in responding is frustrating that I am thinking I'd like to get my money back.
How about color grading? How does it compare to others or color card standards? I normally do all my editing on the desktop, have you tried this?
Ty, fine review. Big fish, and you did not put the cam to the water test. Shame.
But. 1: lence protect, sits over 2 mics ? Water drops will be directed into those micro holes, if on.
2: does it do 5,7k incam stitching, or in post ? How long stitchtime if, 1min 5,7k takes ?min
What ratio to use for making RUclips videos?
That's a nice new improved camera, owning the one R I guess is not necessary to get it... But awesome camera! Great review Ben as always! 🙌🏻
Thanks!
One r or x2 ? For traveling v logs and time lapse etc. Appreciate your answer❤️
@@AuthenTech same question
10:25 does it work with Samsung ear bud?

Hey Ben is the x2 only be able to pair with a apple airpods? how about other tws earbuds?

In single lense resulation is 1080p? 🙂
11:13 why 30 frame rate? 😭😭😭 broke my dream 😞
Can use it as a USB webcam ?? For instance with OBS studio and utilise both lenses ??

You mentioned FinalCut Pro, Can You make tutorial video how to edit 360 on FinalCut Pro ???
Wow..nice review sir..
My dream action cam..
I wish I have one...

great video! were you ever able to try out the lens guards? would love to know your thoughts on them....thanks!!
Wow, Huntsville it’s changed a lot since I was stationed there in 1991.
I wasn't sure either that was Huntsville.. 👍🏻
Can you charge and use at the same time for long record times?
Amazing video Ben ✌🏻… thanks 🙏

Very exciting and cool video! Can you live stream to RUclips with this? How much data would it require for live streaming for 1 hour?
Can you use the x2 to take photos and videos straight out the box, without the app?
Does it float? And yes, the company needs to sent those lens
thank you for your information. please let me know battery's temperature spec.
is it work very cold day? i am a snowboarder. one x is very weak in cold. that's why I want to know one x2 battery spec.
Iloveyou Ben♥️♥️ more power from 🇵🇭

Superb review thank you
Great review, but why does the one-wheel forest riding footage look so choppy and pixelated? Low res or very low bitrate or camera issues?
Amazing product, and they just covered 2 of the things I didn't like on the first version (lens protector and waterproof without case). Honestly if I had to buy a new action camera I would buy this instead of the GoPro. Just a question, will you do some low light tests against the other models?
Can the GoPRo Lens Guards fit over on to the Insta360 One X2 Lenses snug on the ridge like Max?
When they or GoPro finally make a 360 cam with REPLACEABLE lens covers (and not an extra piece of plastic to go over them) I will definitely get one.
Hey Ben, great video! BTW, I was born and raised in Huntsville! I saw a few things I recognized! :)
Is there a way to remove the fish-eye distortion?
Is the lens user replaceable now when scratched?
Thanks for your review.
Great Review ... So so informative .. awesome.
As you suggest .. I have one question ..
Q. Can we get Slow Motion, hyperspace and etc in the same clip during Recording Video without stopping recording ?
I have the DJI Pocket 2 and use it on my bike and for my runs for the HyperLapse setting- which I love. Would I be able to use something similar on the Insta360ONE X2 or would I just be able to speed up the video in post?
I did just end up purchasing the Insta360 to get all of those extra features with the 360 views which seem amazing!
Yup, X2 is great for fun hyperlapse shots, great mobile app too
What is taking so long to get this camera ? I've been waiting for months after seeing reviews like yours (well done).
whether it must be calibrated before starting recording ??
Please what accessory did you use to mount the One x2 while in your car?
He didn’t it was the stick
what selfie stick would you suggest?
what mobile app did you use ? thanks
